| Lots of detail, great imaging, not much bass? thanks, Tonyangel for the explanation. Agree that an active crossover would work in a particular system. I understand that we're just tossing out ideas. | |
| In need of recommendations for window treatments I've found that full-length draperies have improved my room in a major way. A medium to heavy curtain that you can have a pleated or folded fabric effect when drawn, rather than flat across the window to help with standing waves. I would not sugge... | |
| Lots of detail, great imaging, not much bass? Tonyangel- if you are talking about an inline passive crossover (which is an interesting thought), wouldn't this limit the flexibility of the bass roll-off in his system? 50 Hz sounds about right, but maybe 80 Hz would required. Maybe a "try and b... | |
| Bass leaves after amp warms up? Don't know, but again the issue of of output power comes up. You need an amp that doubles down it's power from an 8 ohm load to 4 ohms. The Yamaha does not. (Remember the impedance curve of the Synch One drops below 4 ohms). That's the solution to... | |
| Bass leaves after amp warms up? Fishing ... Class D as compared to class A, AB amps....http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Class-D_amplifier | |
| Lots of detail, great imaging, not much bass? I think we get it. I'll bet your system has enough gain and the small speakers suggested such as the Totem and Minuets would do well. They'll have tight bass and crossed-over higher that your towers. No low-end boom or rumble.perfect example..."To... | |
| Bass leaves after amp warms up? I dunno, Mapman...going from 40 inch, 4 driver towers is very different than headphones. | |
| Lots of detail, great imaging, not much bass? I'm not saying to replace anything; what I mean is some of the techs on this thread have voiced this concern and maybe they can offer advice since it's all about system synergy.(with more gain, you would get higher efficiency and not less bass; th... | |
| Lots of detail, great imaging, not much bass? B_limo, knowing all the facts now I think most important is having enough gain from your system and damping the room as you have wisely decided. I've lived in apartments (new construction) where neighbors complained about my TV thru their walls. | |
| Any James Levine with high-end sound? Have you heard Levine/Philadelphia Orch. on RCA Red Seal?Very good sounding Redbook; late 70s ADD. | |
| Which part of my turntable system should I upgrade There's nothing wrong with owning a budget system, but the Denon needs to go. Look for a vintage TT as many have stated and get a proper phono stage.Check out Audio Advisor for some inexpensive phono stages...NAD - PP-2i, Cambridge Audio - 551P,Pa... | |
| Lots of detail, great imaging, not much bass? You asked in your other thread about the Totem Rainmaker. Audition them if possible; 4 ohm but easy to drive, detailed, tight bass, very impressive. About $1000 I think. | |
| what tubes for my Rouge 99 It depends what sound you are looking for. Any Amperex from the Heerlen, Holland factory will have the widest soundstage, nice mids and sound sweet in a Rogue preamp. Cleartops have excellent high-end extension, are detailed and open. RCA Blackpla... | |
| Why does most new music suck? There is some good music out there, but the Rock releases in recent years suffer from the Loudness Wars. I'm shocked that some of the "studio savvy" musicians have let these CDs be released. These are artists who have been around since the 70s and... | |
| How can I protect ML 436 monoblocks amplifiers? "Can I espect a protection with the PS AUDIO POWER PLANT PREMIER POWER REGENERATOR ?"Many manufacturers do not recommend using power regenerators on power amps. This is a question for a ML dealer or contact ML directly. Also, using a power conditi... |
