| Sealing ported enclosure to reduce boom Acquaintance of mine tried the sock in the port thing in brand new speakers. Blew out when he cranked it up. Well, that became a game of how far the sock could fly. Two weeks later, the speakers went in for warranty repairs. Just an anecdote. | |
| Anything better than 10 guage Romex? Can it, legally, be called a "power cord" or "extension" if it has the IEC connection on the end? | |
| Anything better than 10 guage Romex? Some have used Belden 83803. 12 ga, tinned, shielded, teflon insulated plenum wire. Not solid core and stiff. Parts Express. | |
| Bi-amping or Mono Block amps Why not both. | |
| Passive radiators, ext crossovers & subwoofers Not sure if I'm understanding the question.There's low pass and high pass components of a crossover. A sub, fed independently by interconnects, would only include the low pass filter, in which case the main speakers still receive full bandwidth. A... | |
| Practical Power Approaches PSThe benefits of balanced AC depend on the component plugged into it. When I had the SFL2, both myself and a friend almost simultaneously said, "Holy #$@%", within the first few seconds when fed +60/-60. It loved it. Some other components were in... | |
| Practical Power Approaches http://mysite.verizon.net/vze22yzp/id10.html(links may not work properly now)This is what I did, before I found that site. Have a 5 KVA and a 2 KVA that cost about $100 each, not including shipping. They're in a closet with a subpanel. They are fe... | |
| Real time analyzer Thanks KalDidn't find R&D TEF looks very competent but, being hardware based, is also expensive.Led me to Smaart v7, ($895) which is closer to what I imagined. | |
| Real time analyzer Anybody know of software that works with phase/delay? Aside from DEQX and Holm. | |
| Experienced audiophiles best speaker The ones in my living room are my current favorites.The second best were the ones I didn't buy or couldn't afford. | |
| biamping with a arc 150.2 and vtl mb125 You could try inline attenuators to balance the gain but, fair warning, those tend to have quite low Zin themselves. Then, you could have an impedance matching issue. Also, the more complicated the system gets, the more likely to get ground loops.... | |

| bi amp imrpoving? Psag: Does the megawatt amp allow you to take more control over the system and optimize to your preference? | |
| bi amp imrpoving? We're not so different. You're preaching to the choir. I'm currently biamping with dual bridged Plinius SA-100's and a 1600W bass amp with separate active low and high pass filters. Don't ask how much that totals. Before that, I passive biamped Ka... | |
| bi amp imrpoving? Don't see the point of using identical amps to biamp. Ya, it makes it easy but you're not taking advantage of mixing different characters. The result may be schizo but it's entertaining. Simple enough to tame gain with an attenuator. If you want e... |
