| Just getting started on a budget and need bookshelf speakers/receiver now Get the Elac UB-5's! Superb 3-way speaker designed by famed Brit Steve Jones (TAD). There is a pair now available on EBay for $408.91 (free shipping) from seller "savarety-official-store". That is about $100 less than the other sellers! | |
| What would be good preamp to run McCormick dna1 Another good budget choice is the PS Audio 4. I have two! Quite affordable! | |
| inherent design flaws with a 3 way, 15" / 8" / horn (large tower) speaker? A 15 inch woofer can go up to 800hz easily in a two-way system. Altec A7's (VOTT). Same for the Altec 19. Why waste money on car speakers? Vintage Altec 15's can easily be found on EBay and other sites. | |
| Add speakers lose power ? Stick to 2-channel (the Polks) or go home theater if you want extra speakers! | |
| Add speakers lose power ? You are not losing power! But your sound quality will surely suffer from adding extra speakers! Otherwise get a 5-channel HT receiver and do a full home theater setup! And seriously, those Bose cubes are really cr*ppy sounding! | |
| What would be good preamp to run McCormick dna1 Hafler DH110. Excellent SQ! Available often for less than $200. | |
| Add speakers lose power ? Your Polks definitely need jumpers to work properly with just one set of speaker cables! | |
| Add speakers lose power ? Sure, you can connect the Polks and the Bose cubes in parallel. But the total sound will be cr*p! | |
| Add speakers lose power ? What a stupid idea to put those cr*p Bose cubes on the sides! Stick to the Polks alone and throw away those Bose cubes! | |
| Add speakers lose power ? Do you have the required jumpers on the two pairs of terminals on the backs of the Polks? Red to red, black to black? | |
| inherent design flaws with a 3 way, 15" / 8" / horn (large tower) speaker? The proper size cabinet for a 15 inch woofer is LARGE! I had a pair of vintage JBL C36's with the 2215 woofers. These had the "James B. Lansing Signature" logo on the top front edge. | |
| JBL L5 - Frozen Voice Coil (Woofer) Too much power at bass frequencies damaged the voice coil. Overheating! | |
| Can I really sell this cartridge? NO! | |
| Rectifier Tube Rolling in a Modwight LS 36.5DM I have found more data: same pin-outs and construction, equivalent electrical characteristics. So the Russians just copied the 6CG7 (including its internal shield). Shame on ARC and others for calling it a "super" tube - and boosting the prices! A... | |
| Does anyone care to ask an amplifier designer a technical question? My door is open. Also plenty of choices for the 6N30 - from low-to-high prices (Saratov-made DR versions). Shame on ARC and others calling it a "super" tube - and boosting the prices for the gullible! |
