| First round of auditions disappointing Right, VR4, not VR4Jr. I still reiterate my comment about room and set-up. You can sometimes arrange in-home auditions by contacting the manufacturers directly. If you don't have a dealer within a certain mile radius, they will often ship you spea... | |
| First round of auditions disappointing Dislikes: Excessive midbass warmth, slow presentation lacked pace and transient attack, loose bass, total lack of dynamics and punch, compression at higher levels.Seadweller (Threads)I've said it before, and I'm saying it again. These faults are p... | |
| A series of underperforming setups...Solution? Tvad: Thanks for that suggestion. I've considered the Behringer before. Considering my setup: A DK Signature to Reimer speakers with a Shunyata Hydra to-Modwright Sony and Jolida players -all single ended. Where can you suggest I get the single en... | |
| A series of underperforming setups...Solution? Based on your reply, Foster_9, I'd recommend trying a Behringer DEQ2496 to shape the sound to your liking. Beyond that, it's time to accept what you have. | |

| A series of underperforming setups...Solution? 11-13-06: Seandtaylor99Try Cardas speaker placement formula and see if things improve.Good idea.I want to make a correction in my post above. I suggested placing the driver plane 2' from the front wall. This was based on incorrect math (I used the... | |
| A series of underperforming setups...Solution? I believe set-up is likely the cause. Excellent sound should the the norm with most of the gear you mentioned.What do you mean when you say bass has been a big disappointment? Quantity? Quality? Too much? Too little?I'd try moving the speakers awa... | |
| Moscode 401HR's Sonic Character Asa, I will not fall into the trap of trying to describe in a discussion forum what entails passion in me when it comes to audio. We of Anglo/Saxon and Scottish ancestry display little passion for anything. A little smile...a toe tapping...this is... | |
| Is Digital actually better than Analog? 11-12-06: RauliruegasDear Tvad: There is not a class knowledge experienced level contender here: that one is not a contender!!. So there is no tournament!.I have no idea what this means. | |
| Purist, Legenburg or K-S? Important lesson learned regarding jumping to conclusions. | |
