| Big speakers in small room at moderate volume levels imho, it should sound awesome but you’ll be frustrated that you can’t use them to their full potential. Its like driving a 600hp car in a 55 zone.:D | |
| Frozen McIntosh MX135 😰 Thanks so much everybody! Its the IC front panel and I'm going to get it back soon!🤗 | |
| Velodyne DD12 or DD15 Wow, great discussion. But Im quite a noob as far as subwoofer terminology and procedures. Its all Chinese to me, and I'm Chinese (ABC)! XD. Can anyone point me to some comprehensive publication or website on subs? | |
| Current Inexpensive sub that can get it done cheap Well, inexpensive means buy from the secondary market (preowned). The prices I see on gear in good condition 8 or 9/10 and can be almost 50 to 60% of list. So of course, you get better for less. Sellers on this site are pretty cool. I just bought ... | |
| Velodyne DD10 vs DD12 Thanks all! I'm getting the DD12. | |
| Krell HTS2 vs McIntosh MX120? I tend to agree with you about side stepping rather than upgrading, and after some thought and homework I'd be wasting money. How reliable has your 7.1 been?Thanks! | |
| processor that could serve as a good preamp I have a Krell HTS2. It was at least 5 years old when I bought it in July of 2008 (eBay). It blew a fuse just this September. I sent it back to Krell and it took about 4 weeks to get it back. They are quite proprietary which is both good and bad. ... | |
| Why is 2 Channel better than multi-channel? Well, you can get a Krell HTS 5.1 which has a preamp mode which bypasses the digital stuff so you can listen just to the front. I have one and love the sound, only its difficult to set up at first. You can find them here for sale. I didn't read th... | |
| B&W 801 vs 803s Hi Palermo. I also have the 803s. They are powered by McIntosh; 200 per side. My room is 13x19 with 9 foot ceilings.To answer your original question as best as possible, my opinion is that the 803s is even a bit over the top as far as my room size... | |
| How do you determine how much to spend on speakers I spent about 45% on my speakers. Then again, its a surround system and they're more speakers to go round. The issue of balance is a very important point because you certainly don't want any more power than is needed for the speakers, nor do you w... | |
| McIntosh MC205 hum Well, the hum is definitely not thru the speakers. Its in the amp. I kinda figured the hum would be explained away by the manufacturer that it is due to the enormous power supply. (Thanks Theo) Don't you think for $8000 it should be quiet too? (I ... | |
| Down-firing subs and downstairs neighbors I own the building.But truthfully, to keep good tenants I have to watch it. They've had loud parties late into the night and i'm cool with it, so if I have a loud moment its cool too. Plus they take trips often!Also, an old wooden house is a music... | |
| B&W Nautilus 804s and clipping How much are you paying? | |
| question about grills.... can the room be off limits to the cats? | |
| Noisier Outer Edges? Seems par for the course for vinyl. The old RCA Red Seals although touted as excellent in quality, had a reputation for warpage, non-fill and general surface noise even when new out of the jacket - remember the 'dynaflex'?. I've been impressed wit... |
