| Original Advents and hi-end electronics. Lolo, while we basically agreed in what he should expect out of the Advent's, your comparison was not very fair. You chose a speaker that was highly advanced for its' time, uses a smaller baffle for better dispersion, soundstaging and imaging char... | |
| Internet purchase of Big-Screen TV Kevin pretty much summed up my feelings on the subject. Too many variables on a large product that IS "shake, rattle & roll" sensitive. If you DO decide to go that route, find out from the MANUFACTURER's mouth what the warranty is and EXACTLY ... | |
| Original Advents and hi-end electronics. The midrange on these will sound clumsy and slow compared to the quicker and smaller drivered speakers of today. Other than that, i would "toss" some decent wiring into the cabinets and you'll have a very solid speaker for pennies on the dollar. S... | |
| CARA - Room Acoustic Software Psychic, i have worked doing pro sound reinforcement for a living, sold pro sound gear for a living, recorded and produced a few local bands, etc... As such, i would consider myself QUITE familiar with all of the aspects that you have mentioned. I... | |
| Bass in my room isn't good? Help EXCELLENT suggestions !!! I too think that the crossover needs fine tuning as there is not enough "blend" taking place between the two woofers. I would also like to add that the drop at 160 hz could be due to floor bounce from the monitor. I am no... | |
| What is your opinion regarding electrostatics? I think that E-stat's and horns have a LOT more in common than most people would imagine. They both have specific characteristics though and some of this is where they differ. Getting them to work properly together would be one heckuva good trick.... | |
| Audio Terms Craig did a nice job on that one, which obviously took some time. I would like to add two things to what he already stated so nicely. The terms "forward" and "laid back" could also be used in reference to tonal balance. While Garfish used them in ... | |
| CARA - Room Acoustic Software Psychic, you are comparing apples to zucchinis. The atmosphere, acoustics, goals, etc... of a nightclub sound system are VERY different from that of a true "high fidelity" reproduction system. Regardless of the brands used in either, the nightclub... | |
| Do all DAC's need a signal to lock on to? This is not abnormal and depends on the design of the two components in use. The clicks that you're hearing is the relay engaging which in turn feeds the digital signal into the converter. I'm pretty sure that there is a simple way to disable the ... | |
| CARA - Room Acoustic Software Thanks "Meta" for clarifying the issues. Sounds like this program is REALLY worth the money and FAR more versatile than any of the others. Since your 1 gig puter can do it overnight, my older 200 can probably swing it within 2 - 3 days or so : )Ps... | |
| Has anyone listened to Legacy speakers? Thanks for the honest "review". Given the fact that you are an owner of their top of the line model, i would consider your point of view to be worth more than someone who does not own any of their products ( me, for example ). The "funny" thing is... | |
| CD Clubs -Press their own CD's? Sugar, i too have been buying cd's from BMG and noticed the "manufactured for BMG" on the liner notes. I just "assumed" that the discs were made specifically for them by the original manufacturer. While i have never done a side by side listening c... | |
| Passive Preamp Project vol. II There are different types of attenuators. Some can maintain a constant input impedance to minimize "loading down" the source but still adjust the output level accordingly. Try contacting Michael Percy, as he can supply you with the parts and diagr... | |
| CARA - Room Acoustic Software Metaphysics: Several YEARS ??? Thanks for the warning and the laugh : ) I guess i know what to expect now...I've seen others state that this program is SLOW and can really chew up computing power. My fastest puter is a lowly 350, so it might take ... | |
| COAX VS OPTICAL CABLES While optical cables may have minimal line loss, the same can not be said for the digital to optical convertor on the "playback" unit or the conversion from optical back to digital on the "recording" unit. Why not stay digital from deck to deck an... |
