| Mixing XLR/RCA Outputs on Marantz AV-8801 Possible? The RCA/XLR combo has nothing to do with it. It's perfectly fine.Disable any room tuning or EQ or correction circuits first. Best,E | |
| Need power conditioner advice. In reference to Furman/Tice/PS Audio/Richard Gray. If you have any wall warts or digital power supplies, it's worth putting them outside, on another device. | |
| Speaker Width? Really strongly recommend either: 1 - Ditch the cabinet2 - Get cabinet top speakers, maybe even horn loaded like the small Hsu or Klipsch units. Best,E | |
| Bi-amp benefits with active crossover Hi @Ivan_nsniborInstead of thinking of amplifiers as amplifying power, think of them as amplifying voltage, as indeed, the ideal amp is a voltage amp with infinite power. So, take an amplifier that can produced a maximum of 10V rms. In music, most... | |
| An encounter and lesson in speaker prices ... Some equipment manufacturers preamps and amps are 'out of phase' by design. The easiest way to get them 'into phase' is to reverse the wires at the speaker posts. One such manufacture is Conrad Johnson. I think that several readers are misrea... | |
| Going linear - The Luxman 507ux Hi @pokey77Nope, I heard the 507uxII’s with the Wilsons. He had moved the harbeth out of the way for a previous customer. I don't know how the Wilsons were configured, but I was forced to engage the Luxman's tone controls to get the system balance... | |
| Luxman 507uXi vs. Luxman 507uXii 507 doubles down into 4ohms. 505 doesn't. Good eye! I missed that. Best,E | |
| Speaker Width? You know, IMHO, it's not hte speakers, it's the cabinet. If you could get a simple single-width rack, all your problems get solved. | |
| Speaker Width? Um, honestly, you may be much better off with bookshelf speakers that are horn loaed or use a D'appolito configuration. That way you can put them on the furniture, next to the TV bracket. | |
| Looking for a 2.1 setup for music and home theater Personall loathe current Dali. They are bright sounding and bright measuring. They give you extra detail for the first few minutes and then are pretty uncomfortable. I know I am in the minority. Instead of a 2.1, strongly suggest a 2.5 speaker tow... | |
| Looking for a 2.1 setup for music and home theater I'm using a Mytek Brooklyn with Luxman 507ux. Love the combination. Mike Rose at Excel Audio sells both, but he has 505ux (almost same amp) for $2,500.If you go this way, do not go with Marantz. :-) Best,E | |
| TIDAL What's this "signal tops chopped off" part? | |
| Soundproofing @folkfreak - Nice! | |
| Bi-amp benefits with active crossover @ivan_nosniborNo, that's not correct.Consider a speaker with the woofer section (crossover and driver) removed. The amp still produces the complete voltage swing. However, there is very little current flowing at low frequencies. So, power is great... | |
| Going linear - The Luxman 507ux Hi @andysfThanks for that, that's' what Mike said. I'm a little surprised, I thought my previous amps took a while. Actually I bought them used so not sure how broken in they were, but for sure, turning them off for 24 hours means I have a 2-3 day... |
