| Bose buys McIntosh @telemarcer exactly, you're making my point for me! That was absolutely not the case 25 years ago. The Cayenne helped save the 911! But you are ultimately correct, what's done is done. Hope for the best. | |
| Bose buys McIntosh I don’t own any McIntosh or SF gear, though I wish I did, but I’m hoping it’s like when Porsche started producing the Cayenne. Porschephiles were freaking out that they succumbed to the SUV market. But really, it allowed the company to prosper and... | |
| No God No! Say it Ain’t So! Just saw this on CNBC and immediately popped over here for insight. Looking forward to thoughts from the more experienced than I. | |
| The Low Volume Loudness Dilemma A little late to the party here, but I have been pondering this myself. What I haven't seen generally defined, though, is what constitutes low volume vs high volume listening. Max for me is 65-70 db. I've always thought that is on the lower side o... | |
| Gain control for low-pass bi-amp Thanks for the responses, guys. I posted this in a leisurely part of a vacation that quickly turned busy. Ordered a passive volume control, but after playing with the stereo more upon returning home (volume control still having not arrived), I hav... | |
| Audio Research D75 to Infinity Kappa 9 high pass - which ohm terminals? @jasonbourne71 thanks for the clarification. I really enjoyed the amp my first go around with it, hoping to get more quality time with it now. Given that, I'm going to run with the 4ohm taps. Anyone else feel free to chime in if you think I'm hea... | |
| Happen to you? Gear chasing because the fundamentals were wrong. I'm newer to this than most of you, but chasing wattage and not understand speaker sensitivity were the two biggest for me at first. Once I got that out of the way, the next revelation for me recently is the quality of DAC. A/B testing was a bit s... | |
| Infinity Kappa 9 S EMIT not functioning or Hearing Loss? That is some sage advice, @ervikingo, Thank you! Hopefully I can get back to playing with my toys before next weekend. | |
| Infinity Kappa 9 S EMIT not functioning or Hearing Loss? My wife had been out of town and just confirmed something is not right. Slight buzz/rattle out of one when bass hits (not playing loud) and muted jumble out of the other - certainly nothing resembling "sparkle" @ervikingo described. Strangely, I c... | |
| Infinity Kappa 9 S EMIT not functioning or Hearing Loss? Wow, so much activity since I last visited. To hit a few quick points first. I’m 43 and only real possible environmental damage I can think of is that I was a teen in the late 90s with a couple 12" subs in my car, which I rocked until the late ’0... | |
| Infinity Kappa 9 S EMIT not functioning or Hearing Loss? @roxy54 i didn't see your post until now. Thank you for the insight, that's actually very comforting! They sound great, so I was quite curious about what I could possibly be missing. | |
| Infinity Kappa 9 S EMIT not functioning or Hearing Loss? Thanks for the tip @russ69. Don't know why I didn't think of that simple approach. I think I can sort of hear something, definitely not pronounced out of one. Nothing out of the other. I ran some test tones on each speaker individually and used a ... |
