| What is the one CD you can't find? Todd Rundgren's "Individualist" and "Second Wind" cd or lp. Marty | |
| Best Inexpensive Subwoofer ShadomeI understand the skepticism - total bass output from a sealed volume + given radiating surface is certainly limited by physics. I just don't think that this limitation has been the practical problem.I have a radiating area just under that o... | |
| Best Inexpensive Subwoofer Maybe it's my imagination, but we seem to be living in the golden age of subwoofers. They're getting better, smaller and cheaper! Hsu and SVS come up a lot, but AudioAdvisor.com also offers a ton of inexpensive subs from reputable manufacturers. I... | |
| MBL 101E placement in room Depending on the particular quirks of your room, the "free space room center" you've described might prove to be the best location you can use. The 101s are stunning sounding, but IMHO, they are voiced for very large spaces and often overpower "no... | |
| Lindsey Buckingham Ulf,I don't play music DVDs by habit, but I'm in the midst of this Lindsey Buckingham infatuation so I took your advice and bought the Bass Hall dvd. Gadzooks! The performance is almost unbelievable - is there anything left of that guy's right han... | |
| Velodyne sub hookup Don't know the Velodyne model here, but many will place a "low cut" filter in the "to power amp" path. The recent SPLR series puts a 6db/octave filter at 80hz ahead of this jack so the main speakers see rolled off info below 80hz - while your "y" ... | |
| Sonus Faber Minuetto owners or Electa Minima...... I use an old Magnum (100 w/ch SS) integrated with my even older Minuettos in my ofice with unbranded cables. Works great, but not set up for critical listening.Marty | |
| magnepan 1.6 subwoofer recomendations Alex,Whichever sub you choose, the Velodyne SMS-1 controller will alllow you a lot of flexibility in optimizing set up and integration. The MMGs were tricky, but I have ended up with very good results. A couple of "Bass Busters" room treatments ha... | |
| Speaker Help Required Map, IME it's the rare plant / plant stand that's meaningfully absorptive in specifically this region (or any region, actually, although they can be effective as dispersion tools) These devices aren't gimmicks. That most analytical of a-philes, Jo... | |
| Best room treatment The echo buster "bass buster" fixed the same bass issue in my room. No experience with other brands, but I believe the ATC works on the same principle (hemholz resonator tuned to app 80hz and absorbtive to an octave or so above).Marty | |
| Speaker Help Required BTW the bass buster is 4' tall and -in cross section - is shaped like 1/4 of a circle (fat wedge of pie). The flat sides are each 9" deep and they snug up to the walls forming the corner. There are about 100 colors available - so you may want to c... | |
| Speaker Help Required My guess is that you're getting bass reinforcement between 80ish and 150ish cycles from the left corner and none on the other side since there is no corner. This may well be audible since it can generate lots (app 12db in my room, relative to 80db... | |
| Tom Waits, Rain Dogs... I find this thread interesting because my first reaction was similar to Marco's. Upon further consideration, as Springsteen's music has gotten darker over the years, I can see where it's starting to approach Waits' sandbox(at least lyrically). In ... | |
| Greg Sanchez ? Zydeco piano Love this forum. Live in Montreal it is! Thanks a million.Marty | |
| Coleman Hawkins Probably more than any other player I know, the tonal beauty that Mr. Hawkins produced is a treasure. Listening to "The Hawk Flies High" is one of the great joys of owning a good system. I just wonder how well this works on radio/internet. I guess... |
