| Monitor suitable for wall placement at $400 used? I love Soliloquy Sat-5's. They are not ported and will work great against a wall. The sound is great too! Very detailed and fast.The Linn's are supposedly designed to go against a wall??? | |
| I've got a hum in my Sunfire sub..... Theo is on the right track if you have the money for the upgrade. Otherwise, Sunfire will only charge you shipping to recap/repair/check-out the unit. Many of the Sunfire's have hum problems and the company is great about helping to cure it. I sen... | |
| What to do about speakers? I agree with Rich. I have a 2216B and use it all the time as a "beater" in the family room. The sound is great! Definitely look for speakers rated at 90db/watt or higher for an 8ohm speaker due to the lack of power(I do believe that wattage is dou... | |
| Life expectancy of Interconnects & Speaker Cable? connectors can get dirty/corrode and may need cleaned. | |
| Subwoofer options for Klipsch La Scala I've owned several pairs of klipsch. The amp of choice makes a huge difference. A different 7 watt amp even. Personally, I preferred class A rated solid state the most for bass (threshold) even though I am a tube person. | |
| Anyone think direct tv music channels sound good? From what I've read, it looks like they do compress the signal. Yes, an apple ipod can sound very good but, can it really compete with true 24/96? I almost never use my satellite radio through my system. | |
| Can the Manley Neoclassic 300B handle a 2 ohm load I own 2 amps that can easily handle the load:Dynaco ST-80 (1996 by Panor)-great EL34 amp that is switchable triode or ultralinear and has 2 ohm taps.Grommes G101A Monoblocks-amazing 30 year old amps that handle down to 1.4 ohms with no sweat using... | |
| Denon DV-2200 vs 2900 I love my 2200. I agree that the 2900 sounded "different". Also, for the money difference, the 2900 wasn't worth it unless you need more connections.I don't have any vibration problems with my unit and the sound is spectacular. I wouldn't bother c... | |
| tubes for CAL Alpha My Alpha came stock with such crummy "china" tubes that anything would have been an improvement. | |
| Budget tuner? Get lazy and find a rotel, denon or sony with remote. I got my denon 380 for about $120 and it sounded as good as my MD101 for almost all broadcasts (there is very little high quality radio in my area). There might be the rare occasion where a liv... | |
| Does the power of an amplifier really matter? Several personal points here:1-Yes, every 3db requires a doubling of power. However, it takes +10db to double the perceived volume.2-70db is a tad too quiet for most people. Most speakers are putting out 1 watt to produce around 89db. Simply to do... | |
| 2 Center Speakers in M-C/HT System? By the way, Soliloquys are upside-down designs. My tweeters are on the bottom. I have the bottoms together. Make sure that you don't toe the speakers in. I would have them facing straight out. I had to use 2 instead of a center because there is a ... | |
| 2 Center Speakers in M-C/HT System? I have soliloquy sat-5's all around with a velodyne ULD15 II for a sub. I could not fit the soliloquy center channel where I needed it and went with a pair of sat-5's instead. I laid the sat-5's on their sides about 6 inches apart with the bottoms... | |
| 12SL7GT tube gear Any amp that uses 6SL7's should take the 12SL7's. It is virtually the same tube but can handle roughly twice the voltage. | |
| receiver or amp If I recall, the Yamaha is a pretty decent HT receiver but not high end. I don't think it even had gold plated jacks. However, does it have pre-amp outs? If so, you can start by adding a 5 channel amp. Add at least a 3 channel so the front three c... |
