@bdp24 - was he playing a Riccy when you saw him? Great that you had the opportunity to see them then. To be fair, most of his Tele playing was with Hiwatts.
Location of compoments.
Hello,
I'm reading Jim Smith's book "Get Better Sound". He notes that, if possible, do not locate your audio rack between the speakers, better off to one side. I would guess over 50% of audiophiles have their equipment exactly where he says it should not be placed. Needless to say, I would need 20' long speaker cables to reach the farthest speaker. Not very cost-effective or practical.
Any thoughts? Do most have their electronics between the speakers?

@drmuso- it's actually a hand wired 2061 reissue so it is smaller than a real stack. I've talked to Galen- seems like a good dealer, I have nobody in Texas I regularly work with other than a genius tube repair guy whose real love is pre-war amps. @bdp24 - I've had a little Fender and also have a small Vox which has that chime-y quality of the bigger Vox amps. I'm not much of a guitarist, was a keyboard player. but Rob Stoner helped me learn how to play guitar. There is a Les Paul standard here that was done by CV? Guitar with the pick-ups wired out of phase to emulate the Peter Green guitar. Using an Echoplex clone preamp/booster, it has huge bite and is way too loud. I have an American Tele-- with a standard Fender pick up and a hum bucker, maple neck. I forget how Fender branded it- a hot rod. It is not a custom shop job. I actually like playing that guitar better. @grislybutter -I was too lazy to reformat the photo when I pointed to it. If you have it on a phone and tilt it sideways you can see there is a little more room than that distorted view presents. The horns are highly directional and unaffected by the their position relative to the sidewalls. I have adjusted the volume of the integrated woofers to blend with the midhorn which means that a lot of the deep bass is coming from the bigger 15" subs, which I DSP'd using a separate line from the line stage. |
@mclinnguy The Who didn’t play in Vancouver in 82, their NW coast appearance was Seattle that year, then Vancouver in 89, I saw both concerts. (I lived on Vancouver Island from 71-92) |
I’m the poor guy constrained to combined Stereo and AV with a TV and the “rack” between the speakers, which are 4ft from the wall. I had a cover made for the TV - it helps with imaging for sure. Good news is I’m moving and the AV system will be separate. Bad news is, I’ve got a dedicated listening room but it opens to the main living area. No clue how this will sound but new adventures await. |
