| Distant from front wall I am under the impression that the best place to measure from is the center of the woofer. If your speakers are time aligned the tweeter will probably be very close to that. | |
| Best Digital Amp for Legacy Focus 20/20? Muralman1, your enthusiasm sometimes compromises your opinion. Your replicating the same notions you had for the EAR gear. I don't think Ar_t is claiming any superiority between his products and anyone elese, just that some building blocks seem to... | |
| Historical look at amps This is not the first time poor Ar_t has had to deal with the issue of his business. Audiogon certainly isn't making it any easier. I don't believe Ar_t is trying to hide the fact, it just becomes redundant after a while. All the same for those no... | |
| Threshold's Thanks Thorman, Arnold, and especially David and Sean who offered detailed e-mail advise! Though I haven't heard one I am very encouraged by all this information. Now if I could only find one. | |
| Historical look at amps Bombaywalla, perhaps the point was missed by me. As far as realization, others may indeed come to the same conclusion and others may not. How ever I think it important to realize that our systems are complex and some attributes of sound that may b... | |
| Historical look at amps Bombaywalla, that solid state most often uses feedback, may not be the perfect solution to a problem. On some level it works. On the other hand these problems are not the only ones that exist in audio amplification as we know it. All designs have ... | |
| Power for Thiel 7.2 Oops, scratch Audio Research, though they have used them amongst others to demo their stuff in the past. | |
| Power for Thiel 7.2 While Thiel is politely diplomatic, I don't think it's too hard to read between the lines. If one is using Thiel's top of the line product, I think it fair to say that Thiel's top picks might include: Audio Research, Ayre, Boulder, Classe, Conrad-... | |
| spica and ls3/5a's 213cobra, with all due respect, while there are exceptions, I think that your view of impedance loads and solid state amps is just the opposite of common wisdom. | |
| Spectral and Accuphase I don't remember all the details, but, I recall that some Spectral gear can be very tricky to deal with. Seemed as though Spectral stuff needed to be mated with Spectral and use special MIT cabling. Tread carefully! | |
| Threshold's I've noticed that these amps display class A/AB on the face plate. Does anyone know how many watts are offered in class A before they go into class AB. These amps are rated as 250 watts per channel into 8 Ohms, how much power per channel do they p... | |
| power for Thiel 3.5's I should add that the Thiel 3.5's can occasionlly sound a bit pinched in the low treble and despite the quality of the low frequencies sound a bit tilted up. This tilted up sound is not as prominent as some other Thiel speakers. I suspect this is ... | |
| Two subwoofers or One? Nsgarch, I can't argue with the truth. I will say that I while most experts agree that low frequencies aren't very directional, I suspect that on some level we are aware of something askew when those frequencies harmonics appear from where they mi... | |
| Two subwoofers or One? Nsgarch, I'm not familiar with this particular sub, so I must bow to your experience. It might be worth mentioning that it has been suggested that due to the summing of channels of stereo (i.e. not a dedicated sub woofer channel) signals to mono t... | |
| Two subwoofers or One? The usual advantage of using two subwoofers is that you will most likely spread out nodes due to room interaction. |
