| Buying Tubes Again; Maddening Elizabeth, While various circuits have an effect on tube life some tubes simply last longer than others. While one tube may last only 500 hours another tube may last 2,000-3,000 hours or more in the same circuit. Unfortunately the better sounding ... | |
| Buying Tubes Again; Maddening Just today I had to make the decission whether to buy the longer lasting tube or the better sounding tube. I chose the better sounding tube. | |
| Soundproofing basement ceiling.. The soft tiles you mentioned in your drop ceiling provide some insulation, but if you want more I think your only option is to install fiberglass batt insulation above your drop ceiling. | |
| An interesting Digital vs. Analog experience Mceljo, Thank you for sharing your experience with us. | |
| Are Disc Players Dead? Macdadtexas, Vinyl production has increased from practically nothing. Tomcy6 has provided some very useful statistics. The only true test is to spend as much time, energy and expense into CD as you do in vinyl while making CD your primary source. ... | |
| Are Disc Players Dead? Are turntables dead? There really aren't that many records being produced anymore and the used supply of records in good condition in music that people want is diminishing. Add that to the fact that everytime you play a record it is wearing out. I... | |
| What is would be a small listening room size? 12'x17' is definitely a small room.15'x20' would be a medium size room. | |
| Room corrections Run your Dunlavys full range and add a REL or two. I was amazed at how easy REL subwoofers integrate into the system. This makes the most sense considering the type of music you listen to. I don't blame you for wanting to keep your system all Krell. | |
| Speaker height vs ceiling height I really do not believe tall speakers are an issue. I have owned 8' tall electrostatic speakers and 6' tall dynamic speakers without any problems. Most of the really tall dynamic speakers place their drivers in a D'Appolito configuration, so the m... | |
| How to restore faded veneer due to sunlight? The best thing to do is turn the speaker around to expose the other side to the sunlight. The wood will change color to match in a relatively short amount of time without spoiling the finish. | |
| Which speaker post to use: 4 ohm or 8 ohm? The 4 ohm tap on your Audio Research amp is not exactly 4 ohms. In fact it is closer to 6 ohms. So, it is recommended to use the 4 ohm tap. However, you should still try both and decide for yourself which one you prefer. | |
| Room corrections Try adding a REL subwoofer to your system. | |
| Room corrections You do not have to pull Dunlavys 3' into the room. You should start out 8" from the wall and make small adjustments. I am glad you gave measurements because 90" (7.5 ft) is too close together for Dunlavys or any other large speaker because the lar... | |
| 4 ohm or 8 ohm tap Try it both ways to see which way you like it the best, but do not make quick decissions. Let it settle in for a while. If one tap or the other has never been used it may take a while for it to break in. | |
| Speakers for Audio Research VT100MK2 I agree with Vandersteens. Dunlavys sound better with a sweeter sounding amp. |
