| Dear Fellow SC IVA owners I absolutely do not recommend adding a subwoofer to the SCIV system. The SCIV is an incredibly coherent speaker system. Adding a subwoofer would only degrade the coherency. Besides, if the system is set up properly the performance from top to bott... | |
| Dunlavy SC VI's... My mistake, I thought you have SC IVs. | |
| Have any VAC owners tried any KT-88's I see, you can get just about any power tube with Winged "C" on it now. | |
| Dunlavy SC VI's... Since the SCIVs do everything why would you consider mods? Look up Dunlavy SCIV on you tube. I have a manual I can copy for you and I would be happy to share my knowledge of the SCIVs with you. | |
| anyone a/b'd a AR LS 3 against a LS 12 preamp?? AR=Acoustic Research | |
| Your definition of soundstage The speaker is not the only thing that affects the presentation. The electronics have just as big of an affect if not more in some cases. Compare the presentation of solid state versus tubes for example. Or the laid back sound of early Conrad John... | |

| What is meant by a "fast" pre amp To me fast is the equipments ability to track the musical signal. Usually if the equipment sounds fast it's not because if it is fast it will sound like misic. | |
| Speaker separation versus listening distance?? What are your speakers? Some speakers have different requirements than others. Vandersteens don't like side walls. Maggies don't mind side walls. Tall speakers like Dunlavys need a little more distance from the listener to integrate the drivers. | |
| Is Speaker Termination Required? All connectors have a sound character. Bare wire sounds the best. | |
| The CD Player Lie? The more expensive equipment is expected to sound better and therefore is listened to with a more discriminating ear. The opposite is true of inexpensive equipment. We are surprised it sounds so good in the first place. We relax and enjoy the musi... | |
| Best Amp to drive my Apogee Stages? The Stage actually goes below 4 ohms and while this may not be a problem for your monster tube amplifiers it can be a problem for other amps. However, the point I was trying to make is that an amplifier's sound quality will vary depending on the l... | |
| Dynamic Headroom Different philosophies by different designers I guess. One designer claims to have something and the other designer claims it doesn't exist. | |
| What next, after finalising components ? Wilfredt, Sorry for the late response to your question. Yes, the half round ASC Tube Traps are placed vertically and side by side with no gaps in between. ASC Tube Traps are not cheap, but they are the best when it comes to room treatment. |
