| How far apart do you position your speakers ? Obviate: To anticipate and dispose of effectively; render unnecessary. Now that we've cleared THAT up...Pettyfeveresk: I am concerned that your spouse is named "my dog Hanna"My listening room has furniture, book cases, paintings, a glass wall, moo... | |
| How far apart do you position your speakers ? Doesn't the nearly infinite disparity between various speaker's responses in rooms, including tweeter off and on axis dispersion and woofer loading sort of obviate set-up formulae? And...has anybody CHANGED the speaker position months after thinki... | |
| Do you leave your components on 24/7? First, I think using SS amps as lightbulbs wouldn't work at all...very difficult to screw in...secondly, I've always used dimmers...they save a ton and don't trigger seizures and distribute mercury pollution like compact flourescents. This thread ... | |
| Do you leave your components on 24/7? So the simple solution is this: Use gear that sounds GREAT the moment you turn it on, and once it warms up a bit it sounds greater. Actually...I think I have that already. Still, nobody has mentioned what the supposed "more likely to fail" failure... | |
| How far apart do you position your speakers ? You have a low threshold of refreshment. | |
| Do you leave your components on 24/7? I wonder what this "breakdown rate" might actually be? I've been an audio fan and pro musician/soundman since 1967 and I personally haven't experienced much breakdown at all...and the perception of things sounding better after sometimes hundreds o... | |
| High-end amplifier clarification? Oops...I thought Roxy54 was aiming that comment at me...but it was at Rshnicle so I will allow it as Rshnicle's post wasn't as funny as mine, and apologize if I seemed harsh. Aren't I just a sweet person? | |
| High-end amplifier clarification? Still trying to impose "mirth control"? Still? I do have compassion for the humorless and feel for the long suffering friends and families of those unfortunate souls who are compelled to suck the air out of any attempt at levity by those who dare ... | |
| High-end amplifier clarification? I prefer to look at measurements, scopes, and articles (I don't understand ALL the technical stuff but, thankfully, there are a lot of real smart people that do) about amps instead of dealing with reproduction of sound by some lame "musician"...a ... | |
| Do you leave your components on 24/7? I think hell would have to have electricity...what...it runs on some imaginary power? Get real.... | |
| Do you leave your components on 24/7? I turn everything off except a Rel sub that's designed to be left on (no on/off switch anyway, and it's plugged into a different outlet...I unplug it when gone for days) as not much is happening until it gets a signal. Otherwise, having had gear w... | |
| High-end amplifier clarification? I listened to some Boulder amps today...I think if an amp weighs more than your car, it's high end. | |
| How far apart do you position your speakers ? So...I AM a bad person! Damn...I forgot to mention that the speakers sound great without pulling 'em out into the room. I just do it to remind myself of how wise and attentive I am, and that I can be as geeky as the next freak. | |
| How far apart do you position your speakers ? Since my speakers are light-ish skinny towers (Silverline Preludes), I move 'em out away from the back walls into a closer sweet spot when I feel like it, leaving my beloved old REL sub alone. I have the spot marked for returning them to "sweet sp... | |
| How far apart do you position your speakers ? Sebrof...I agree, but feel you may have missed my point. As long as the imageing and response of speakers meet my personal (and somewhat critical) tastes, I'm fine with some room sound. Many "audiogoners" might tweek the bejesus out of a room to o... |
