| Magnepan LRS+ which amps do you use ? * 100 watts or less ** Schiit Audio just dropped their 200wpc Wotan dual-mono amp. Jason commented that the whole Schiit staff was shocked at how good their test LRS+ speakers sounded on it. Bass drive was specifically mentions as being outstanding. | |
| Should I replace the crossover capacitors in my vintage AR 3a speakers? I've recapped similar speakers, most recently, my AR58S speakers. As in the 3a, it's a 12" 3-way, using dome mids and tweeters. My 58S's used Unicon branded electrolytic caps, which still sounded very good. Though, I didn't measure their capaci... | |
| Modifying Crossovers @ervikingo A few years back, Paul McGowan at PS Audio, recapped his IRS-V speakers. Paul asked for Arnie NuDell's help with the project. Arnie recommended Mundorf capacitors. The Mundorf EVO Oil caps, that I mentioned, are very good for the m... | |
| Modifying Crossovers @carlsbad2 Beautiful work. I like your choice of capacitors. Mundorf, at least to my budget, are my favorites. I've used quite a few of the EVO Oil caps in speaker rebuilds, and have always liked their sound. I'm using a mix of Supreme EVO O... | |
| Martin Logan CLX ART ML rates the ART's at 110 pounds. But, I guess that's much lighter than those Tekton sub towers the seller was using...! Hopefully your Velodyne subs will play nice with the new speakers...! Congratulations...! | |
| Martin Logan CLX ART While my EM-ESL's are far from the CLX ART's you're interested in, my speakers and the ART's use a similar 8.6" wide panel. The ART's are much taller, for more of a line-array speaker. So, while my speakers are babies in comparison, they still p... | |
| AR9LS Speakers - a good buy at $1k Thanks @mr-mikes !!!It was nice to hear that you still own and appreciate your AR-9LS speakers. I own AR-90, AR-58S, and AR-92 speakers, and they all sound wonderful. Refoamed, recapped, and restored, to bring them to like-new condition, is well... | |
| Thinking of a Schiit Freya + and Vidars, to Power Martin Logan ESLs I just bought a pair of Martin Logan EM-ESL's. They definitely throw a nice soundstage and image. Not bright to me, as I don't like a rolled-off sounding speaker. Deeper bass than I expected, but a little midbass shy. Not bad though; just not ... | |
| Schiit customer service seems poor Jason Stoddard posted this yesterday, concerning delays and shipping:https://www.head-fi.org/threads/schiit-happened-the-story-of-the-worlds-most-improbable-start-up.701900/page-5163#post-16378983http://" Actually, that's not quite what the new a... | |
| Stand Alone Super Tweeter for Revel F208? I've seen stand alone Air AMT tweeters at AliEpress. There are 2 different versions. Both versions in external enclosures, with binding post connections and level controls. So, simple enough to try.https://www.aliexpress.com/item/High-power-rib... | |
| Infinity Kappa 9's sound terrible...HELP Personally, I wouldn't recommend the DS Tech Labs crossovers. They totally disregard the original designs, with their crossovers. In the case of the 9's, they turn a 5-way system into a 3-way. The Semits and Emits are combined together, and the... |
