| Adding subwoofer to Full-Ragne Speakers question I have two ways (w/12"PHL 4530 midbass drivers) plus stereo subs, and use a DEQX with both 2 and 3 way digital crossover ability. My initial plan was to implement a 3 way crossover to lessen the bottom end burden on my PHL midbasses (decrease inte... | |
| Is it worth spending $10k on CD-only player today? If your CD collection consists of discs that are almost certainly never to be reissued on SACD or DVD-A and if your musical taste steers you toward older music also "doomed" to not be reissued in higher res format, it is absolutely sensible to spe... | |
| Need suggestions for new speakers under $5K Tyler Acoustics Taylo Reference IIIs, on sale this month for $4150 custom made with your choice of finish. The SEAS 10 inch woofer will provide fast articulate bass at 30 Hz. The dual 8 inch SEAS woofers in Ty's Linbrooks are no slouches either. I... | |
| cd player advice If you can afford $1080, the Music Hall CD25 with "Performance Stage 3" mods by Sound Odyssey (listed as an ad under "CD players" on 'Gon)will likely not be bettered by any player in its price range and can be the foundation for future system upgr... | |
| Speakers For Rock Hi again, Kclone.An update on the Linbrook System - Ty now also makes a one piece model that is front ported and better if speakers require placement close to the front wall.Best wishes for great music, whatever your decision.John | |
| Speakers For Rock Tyler Acoustics Taylo Reference IIIs would do really well at just over $4500 new. For rock you need bass, and the Seas 10 inch woofers produce high output yet are incredibly fast and articulate. The Scanspeak Revelator tweeter ranks among the elit... | |
| Seeking $15,000.00 speaker to replace Quad 988's New Tyler Acoustics Woodmeres at $12k, if your room is fairly large. Very dynamic and detailed sound with prodigous bass output. 75" tall, but very unobtrusive for their size. | |
| Best combo - integrated amp/ speakers/$8,000 Coda Continuum Unison Ultra integrated powering Tyler Acoustics Linbrook monitors with Ty's custom stands. If space and budget later permit, you can trade the stands for Ty's Linbrook bass units for true full range (to 30 Hz).The Unison Ultra at 1... | |
| Please share views on Coincident MP 300B. Cousinbilly,What 6SN7s did you decide on? I'm an M60 owner with not much rolling experience in these particular amps.Thanks,jb | |
| Single box or upgrade w/DAC? Steve Nugent at www.empiricalaudio.com mentions Electrocompaniet mods on his website. He's modded a few digital products for me with clearly audible improvements. Such an upgrade path can save you a bundle. Consider giving him a call.jb | |
| Cayin TA-30 thoughts... If you own a hot glue gun (about $20 at Home Depot), have basic soldering skills, can paint/wipe down stain on cabinets AND can afford about $2500 consider the Zalytron "Phenomenal 3" loudspeaker kit. Easy build, as cabinets come pre-built/veneere... | |
| ARC 100.2 Enough power for Proac 3.8 If you already have great synergy with the Ayre you may consider getting a PAIR of quality subs and "dialing in" the low end according to your preference.I have stereo DIY subs using Adire Tumult drivers which gave me the bottom I was after. Kevin... | |
| Linbrook w/o base module vs with. Agree with Dsiggia - the Linbrook bass modules are an integral part of the system. No sub could ever integrate as well. BTW I am an owner. | |
| Recommendations on mid-fi speakers I suggest you consider the Tyler Acoustics line.I've owned both Taylo and Linbrook models.Top notch drivers and crossover parts, impeccably inert cabinets, gorgeous veneers.Made by a super guy who will let you trade up as your budget later allows.... | |
| Review: Marigo Audio Labs Apparition 5.6 Signature BNC-BNC Interconnect Yes, Ed, I do use the Orpheus Crossbow CD mat. To my ears it softens the brittle hi end on some of my harder to listen to CDs and has been worth its cost. |
