| The ideal auditorium? Blank canvas I should add that Duke (Audio Kinesis) also sells this less expensive variation of his multi-subwoofer set-up. http://www.audiokinesis.com/product_ak_sealedswarm.html | |
| The ideal auditorium? Blank canvas Waryn,I suspect that you'd regret not enlarging that floorplan. If you start with a minimum width of +/-425 and go from there, you'll probably be closer to the mark. You can probably get away with less flare to the side walls (smaller maximum widt... | |
| Do your speakers have enough "freshness" Sorry to pile on here, but this thread sounds a bit like one of those feminine hygiene ads. | |
| Ohm Walsh Microtall or Vandersteen 1C If the MWT is balanced like my Ohm 100s, they will be notably leaner thru the mid to upper bass than the Vandy. While real bass extension may be pretty similar, the Vandy will likely display a little more "oomph" on kick drum, etc. while the Ohm m... | |
| Add Sub Woofer Personally, I'd put an active x-over like the Marchand or NHT (if you can find one) between the preamp and power amp. I'd also think about adding a digital room correction unit for the subs (SVS/Audyssey or Velodyne SMS-1) between the bass output ... | |
| How far can room treatments solve boomy bass? Jim,I've never used a PARC.My DRC set-up has evolved from using an NHT X-2 active x-over between my ARC LS-25 and VT130SE. The NHT fed a Velodyne SMS-1 subwoofer management system, which fed a pair of powered subs (originally Velos, then Rythmiks)... | |
| Allen Toussaint John,I think that I own 'em all and the answer is:None comes remotely close to "Bright Mississippi" for SQ.I do have a soft spot for the sound of the Showmen records. These are pretty primitive recordings, but IMHO they manage to capture the essen... | |
| One sub in two systems: Is this possible? If you put an active crossover (NHT X-2) and/or a x-over/subwoofer manager (Velodyne SMS-1) ahead of the sub, you might be in good shape. IIRC, both of these units have SE and XLR inputs/outputs. You could run each set to a different system (adapt... | |
| Integrated Amp recommendation You might check out the Harman Kardon HK 990. This is a very different animal than anything else out there. It basically takes all of the audio features of an AVR, but none of the video and includes just two channels of high quality power amplific... | |
| Allen Toussaint I'm a huge fan. "Mississipppi" is great and sounds great, but IMHO it's a little diversion from his "power alley". I'm really a huge fan of his old 1970's Warner Bros funk/pop. He also did some great stuff as a producer/writer/sideman in the early... | |
| Name your 5 favorite Led Zeppelin tracks. Airegin,The same writing credit issue is true of half the songs listed here. IIRC, all songs on the Zep albums are credited to Page and/or Plant. Many are actually cover versions. Since they never bothered to change the name of the song (or change... | |

| Accurate speakers for a verity of genres? I own the Verity P/E and I'd think twice before putting a pair in that room. Per Hevac, it's a great sounding speaker for just about any genre, but....It does feature a notable hump in the bass that might be trouble in that room. It's hard to say ... | |
| The ideal auditorium? Blank canvas Waryn,The wall construction that I described was from the HT room in my former home. Those walls were, unavoidably, parallel. However, that formulation can be done at reasonable cost (depending on the materials chosen) and it sounds and looks grea... |
