DK Design VS.1 Reference mkII - Optimization
I think I misunderstood Tom's point. I thought he was suggesting that removing the top increased vibration due to a less rigid case structure (which is the case in automobiles...coupes being more rigid than convertibles in the same models), when i... 
DK Design VS.1 Reference mkII - Optimization
I also don't understand the 'wave' concept, I can understand EM fields of changing intensity, but 'waves' which bounce back and forth off some surfaces but not others? Are you aware of any science which supports this?Tvad, Audioaril, Tom, anyone -... 
Choosing the right Bryston amp
Better dynamics (especially bass response) at lower volumes with the higher powered amps. Sonically, the lower and higher powered Bryston amps are probably very close.Specs don't mean anything when it comes to how an amplifier recreates music. Som...

I do find some of the speaker positions in member's system photos a little odd: against back walls, six feet apart with no toe-in. There are obvious improvements to be had in better speaker placement if one's circumstances allow for it. 
Behringer DEQ2496 HELP
07-06-06: EldartfordTvad...I still suspect that your clipping is internal to the DEQ2496 (clip limiter) as a result of equalization. A 16 bit digital word input really can't saturate a 24 bit D/A unless your processing has led to an output of more... 
Elrod EPS 3 / Electraglide Grounding Concerns
I'll also borrow my friend's AC line tester to see if the outlets are grounded. I 'think' the simple plug in tester has the ability to see if it's grounded but not sure.Calgarian5355 (System | Threads | Answers)I believe that is the case.This revi...

FWIW my wife has the whole house except for the living room which I have set up as a music room and decorated it to accomodate music/audio. But - there is always a but - it has to not call attention to itself. No bass traps, echo busters, etc. As ...

07-07-06: PlatoGrant, I'm glad I don't live in your neighborhood ! How are the taxes? Do you live in NJ or CA? Does that 1400 sq ft include the bathroom and garage? :)CA. SF includes bathrooms, but not garage. 
Choosing the right Bryston amp
I owned a 4B SST and I ran it with Von Schweikert VR4 Gen III HSE loudspeakers (89db/6 ohm). Even at it's rated 250wpc (or whatever it was...I forget), the 4B SST would clip and shut down when running at relatively high volumes (95db-98db).Eventua...

Proper audio set-up and attractive home decor in dual use rooms is not an easy task. Compromises are required. At least they are in my home in LA where $700,000 buys a 1400/Sq.Ft house in my neighborhood. We do our best. 
Have you seen the VR9SE Review?
Fortunately for bottom feeders like me, the research and technology that goes into designing the VR9SE will eventually trickle down to the more affordable Von Schweikert loudspeakers. 
Choosing the right Bryston amp
Buy the 4B SST, and buy it used if possible. It has substantially better resale than the 3B SST due to higher demand from buyers. 
"Integrated Amp" Do I dare go there??????
