| Admiral Television? Hodu:I'm pretty sure that Television was gigging around NYC as early as 1973 (a year before War Babies), even though their first record came out, IIRC, a few years later. That might make the Television reference even more plausible, that band was ... | |
| Admiral Television? Lowrider - that didn't occur to me. It's possible that all the flashy stuff is Rundgren and Cerniglia (unfamiliar to me) and that the Admiral Television was a reference to guitar effects.It's also possible that Verlaine (or possibly Richard Lloyd)... | |
| Admiral Television? I assumed that the appliance company was the basis for the mystery player's stage name. I was wondering if anyone knew which guitarist used that name. Some of the playing is really fashion forward for the day (the track "70's Scenario" is one exam... | |
| Is there an amp that does 2-channel and all this? MOT wrote:I have a problem with stereo purchases. :-)Who here doesn't?MartyPS At least you made an interesting one! | |
| 4 Velodyne HGS-15's or 2 Velodyne HGS-18's? If you're using Audyssey (or similar DRC) to smooth FR in the bass, then a pair of 18s probably makes more sense. I believe that you'll have pretty similar clean SPL capability all the way down well below 20hz from either set-up, and 2 giant boys ... | |
| EQ for a pair of subs To Edorr's point re: analog sourcesThe other alternative is to go all DSP as he indicates, but defeat that functionality when using analog sources. You'll disable the subs and hear straight 2.0 channel reproduction. If your preferred analog source... | |
| The most dynamic speaker you've heard... MBL 101. Low sensitivity offset by endless power handling. When doing shows, MBL pairs up the 101 with monster power amps and cranks 'em to 11. The resultant silent/LOUD macrodynamic impact is IMO startling.Marty | |
| EQ for a pair of subs If you're willing to beat your head against the wall during set-up:I used to use a Velo SMS-1 for EQ and for high cutting the subs. I also used an NHT X-2 active x-over to low cut my mains. The X-2 offer much more low cut flexibility and it took t... | |
| Gallo Stradas vs. Merlin TSM-MXRs Mateored,I'd be reluctant to comment decisively on your "what if?" since my biggest issue with the Gallo was that -IMHO - it absolutely needed a subwoofer. I'd estimate that - in the room that I heard 'em - the TSM provided close to a full octave ... | |
| Gallo Stradas vs. Merlin TSM-MXRs Sorry, I just noticed the small sub reference in your OP. I'm not sure that my observations are quite as relevant to your application as I thought, save the potential problems with the wide dispersion tweeter on the Gallo. On that front, the floor... | |
| Gallo Stradas vs. Merlin TSM-MXRs I own VSMs but have little experience with the TSM. I also own A'divas, but have little experience with the Strada. Oddly, however, I did recently happen to listen in on an A/B between these two speakers that a local dealer was conducting for anot... | |

| Requesting Thoughts and Ideas Sorry - my previous post should have read "bypass the low cut function". This reference was to the portion of the SMS x-over that filters the bass out of the main speakers. The SMS-1 high cut (filters out the top end of the sub's response) is enor... | |
| help with subwoofer I'm very happy with my pair of Rythmik subs 2+ years after they replaced a pair of Velo SPL8 in my music only system.Marty | |
| Atma-Sphere S 30 & Zero Autotransformer Boxes I had a very early production S-30 and it was definitely load sensitive. It sounded great with my Merlin VSMs, but absolutely wilted when driving my Verity P/Es. I understand (from a post in this forum by Ralph, IIRC) that Atmasphere subsequently ... |
