| Please explain amplifier output impedance Bob and Duke, thanks for your great replies. Very helpful.Still, no one has answered my basic question:"What amplifier output impedance measurement is considered too low (X ohm - low), too high (X ohm - high), and just right (X ohm - ideal)?"As an... | |
| Totem Arros - Set up 10-08-06: Bob_reynoldsTvad, the problem with sending a full range signal to the Arros and, in fact, many speakers with much larger woofers is that the distortion increases dramatically when they attempt to produce bass frequencies.Yes, I recall re... | |
| Speakers cables that are warm yet detailed........ Garebear, your comments about my abrupt post are valid, so allow me to address them. Ive read similar posts for almost four years. They have the same theme. The respondants are well intentioned, but they often dont read the question, nor do they... | |
| Richard Vandersteen at Audio Connection Nice post, Joe. Top to bottom. Thank you. | |
| Speakers cables that are warm yet detailed........ Here we go again...another wire thread that'll eventually have 75 different suggestions from everyone who posts what they use with no regard made to the original poster's associated gear.My suggestion is to buy a few used pairs of cabling from the... | |
| Small Floor Standers The only really bad match was with a pair of NHT super zero's. WayneWdrazek (Threads | Answers)Don't blame it entirely on the SuperZeros, and don't let your experience with this combo dissuade you from trying the NHT SuperOne that go down lower du... | |
| Totem Arros - Set up Frankly, I don't understand how sending the full range signal to the Arros is a big deal.What I'd suggest, even though you may decide not purchase any of their products (or you may), is to call Mike Dzurko at ACI. Tell him what integrated amp you ... | |
| My system is bright? I need help. thanks 10-08-06: Audphile1Hey Scientist73, sibilance on Patricia Barber(I am pretty sure you're either talking about Modern Cool or Cafe Blue) is there in the recording like that. It is not your system.I agree. The amount of sibilance heard on the record... | |
| Please explain amplifier output impedance Thanks for all the replies. In short, an amplifier with high output impedance will be much less linear when coupled with a speaker than one with low output impedance.Shadorne (System | Reviews | Threads | Answers)Tube amps are notorious for having... | |
| My system is bright? I need help. thanks Adjusting your speaker placement, and adding some room tuning tweaks will do more to tame system brightness than wire, IMO. The root cause is the synergy between your speakers and electronics. The problem won't be truly fixed until one or the othe... | |
| My system is bright? I need help. thanks I believe you have room to move the right speaker 6"-12" closer to the wall unit, and the same on the left. If you haven't already tried them farther apart, give it a shot and see what you think. I'd start both 12" closer to the walls (so they'll ... | |
| Small Floor Standers I believe you might be able to put together a used combination of NHT SuperOne monitors/SW-1 or SW-2 Passive subwoofer/SA-2 Subwoofer amp for around $1k. The NHT gear is very nice and has received lots of positive reviews. | |
| My system is bright? I need help. thanks IMO, 5.5-6 feet apart and sitting 7 feet away makes the speakers a little too close together. 7 feet apart (measured from the center of the drivers) would be more conforming to a traditional near-field set up. At 5.5-6 feet apart, how far are they... | |
| Totem Arros - Set up How about an ACI Force XL with High Pass filters used in conjunction with ACI Speaker Level Converters? With the ACI Speaker Level Converters you run RCA interconnects to your sub and the speaker cabling directly from your amplifier to your Totems... | |
| My system is bright? I need help. thanks Personally I don't like the Eggleston's but you may prefer to soften them with a serious amplifier topolgy change. I would change the speakers to maybe a Dynaudio, considering the equipment you have now. D_edwards (System | Answers)I've heard the ... |
