| are all amps equal Most of us start where Keslerd is presently, i.e. not wanting to spend $500/6 ft of wire.I know I did.It's a journey unique to each individual. Price barriers break down in due time when the benefits begin to be heard. | |
| Good USED Speaker Cable Choices for $300-$500 ? I did, Tom92602, and it was not a difficult decision.You can try the Straley cables yourself with a home trial. | |
| Looking to get a turntable. 03-29-09: StonedeafRega's - probably the most consistent and reliable table/arm combo that has ever been made...the Rega and Linn LP-12 are the only models i can think of that have been on the market with minor changes fodecades.The TechnicsSL1200... | |
| Good USED Speaker Cable Choices for $300-$500 ? Analysis Plus Oval 9 is a good choice. It has a fuller sound (at least in my system), and it can be easily resold on the used market.It's a no-lose experiment.I replaced my Analysis Plus Oval 9 (and Purist Audio Venustas, and Cardas Golden Referen... | |
| are all amps equal 03-28-09: KijankiTvad - I found bass to be directional in spite of claims tha it is not and some LP recording that were mono below 150 Hz.I think this statement is contradictory. Mono below 150Hz indicates non-directional bass.Also - don't you fee... | |
| are all amps equal the sub is not very "tight" as I prefer, that may be definition.I don't understand everything I know...Keslerd (Threads)Tight bass with a subwoofer is often very dependent on placement of the sub.Research a placement guide. ACI has excellent infor... | |
| are all amps equal Tvad, I thought speaker/tube compatibility was all about the impedance curve, and that low efficiency speakers, with benign impedance curves, simply required more power.Phaelon (Threads | Answers)That's true.The OP's speakers were measured 85db by... | |
| are all amps equal I think you'll both agree that providing bass that is simultaneously clean, undistorted, deep, and high in volume, requires big drivers (at least 10-12 inches, or else equivalent multiple smaller drivers), which means bigger cabinets, and both the... | |
| are all amps equal 03-28-09: Kijanki As for the lack of correlation between price and quality - are you saying there is none and everything is just random?I am saying price does not necessarily equal quality nor lack of quality.Can one purchase $1k speaker as good a... | |
| are all amps equal 03-28-09: Kijanki...it seems to me that there is some correlation between quality of the speaker and its price tag.Listening to just the two speakers I mentioned previously will prove otherwise.I don't see how difference between 40 and 30Hz can ch... | |
| are all amps equal 03-28-09: KijankiTvad - it's a trade off. I asked the question because I plan to upgrade my speakers. Getting lower end (lower than necessary?)Define necessary. My definition of necessary is 30Hz at minimum. Lower if possible.... will cut on defin... | |
| are all amps equal 03-28-09: KijankiTvad - I understand, but shouldn't 42 Hz be fine if somebody listens to jazz or popular music.Not in my opinion, no. I am not one who is satisfied with the semi-full range experience.Again, all one has to do is listen to the jazz ... | |
| are all amps equal 03-28-09: KijankiUnless somebody listens to symphonic orchestra with big drums going down very low or needs special effects for the home theater than 42Hz should be fine (if its really 42Hz).I cannot disagree more.There is substantial bass informa... | |
| Has Anyone Criticized The Choice Of Your Cables? I also looked at your system, and your cables are indeed rubbish.Just kidding.IMO, someone visiting for a listen should keep their opinions to themselves unless they have a tactful way of suggesting an alternative that might be worth considering.I... | |
| are all amps equal First, get the amplifier/speaker match correct. The Usher BE-718 are not very sensitive at 87db (actually measured 85db by John Atkinson in his Stereophile measurements) , therefore they require a good amount of power. Although they have a fairly ... |
