| Subwoofer slam vs boom opps, the subs are both in the same phase, different phases kills the bass | |
| Subwoofer slam vs boom Thanks for the help all, just pack to tinkering I reckon...The processor has stereo sub outs, with the usual large/small speaker sizes and bass redirect and roll off. Cross points are 50,65,80,90 and so on up. The processor can be switched from on... | |
| Subwoofer slam vs boom I thought I was cheating by using all large speakers. In hind site for a ht setup this might not be true.What is in the .1 track? I wonder if some frequencies are not being duplicated in both the mains and subs. What I have tried to do is let each... | |
| Sheilded/Unsheilded Power Cords Honestly, when I was done braiding the wire and all the mess, the DIY were going to be better...No matter what :).I had not a/b the cables, until just before this reply. "more noise" between the two- nope. Seems to be the same. I had meant this fo... | |
| Busted Phillips Screws Sometimes you can get a straight screw driver to bite what is left of the screw head. Try different sizes, with a sharper point.Marty | |
| Sheilded/Unsheilded Power Cords Bob's not going to like this,I wonder how one could do a DIY active shield? Put a dummy load on a small DC transformer and shoot the current up the shield, or wrap the wire around the cable?I must say that with my limited, yes very limited tester,... | |
| Sheilded/Unsheilded Power Cords I might be over taking too simple of an approach here, but I took one of the little pen things that detect current/voltage(hot leads) and went around my system with the supplied(careful wording here...) and it went nuts.With my DIY adventure, the ... | |
| B&W, Aerial 7B -- my impressions, something off? I also heard the 8b's at the same time and my experience was the same as yours. | |
| B&W, Aerial 7B -- my impressions, something off? 7b's- I only heard these once but,"Where's the bass", is what I walked away with, empty handed.Marty | |
| Monitor speakers pros/cons Room size is only a general factor. I am sure I would be moving some day. No married so I just have at it.I really am looking for new speakers and am wondering what a better route might be. It seems that the less cabnet one buys, the better the dr... | |
| Monitor speakers pros/cons In general, less than 500sq feet. The average room size, 600 is getting pretty big. | |
| Component video cable? I tried the Straight Wire Silver Link II's vs their cheapo conx one, very little differance. I was surprised as other cables (ic's) can make a huge differance.Must be a video thing or just me...If/when I try again I will try the Better Cables out.... | |
| Monitor speakers pros/cons I should have added more specific information, the processor is a Simaudio Attraction with stereo sub outs.The subs currently are HSU VTF-3's(pair) and a VTF-2 on the center run from line level inputs. Might pick up a Outlaw ICMB and only use it o... | |
| Ready to Plunge into Aerials; One more question... Why did you skip the 8's? | |
| Ready to Plunge into Aerials; One more question... Can I ask what other speaker models you looked at and why you choose the Aerial line? I am just beginning my search for new speakers.Sorry, I can be of no help with the center channel speaker.ThanksMarty |
