I'm not quite sure how to describe the problem I'm having, but it seems to have gotten worse and I'm probably to blame. At certain frequencies the tweeter has a high pitch but faint buzz. It used to be that when it did this I could poke around the edge of the tweeter and it will feel like it was...

A long time ago WmAx (Chris) offered to modify my Infinity IL10 speakers. He was confident the drivers used were worthy of being used in a modified/improved cabinet with an improved crossover. I acquired a second pair of IL10 (Interlude 10) bookshelf/stand mount monitors and I'm considering...

I've been thinking about what modifications I could do to my Infinity IL10 bookshelf speakers that would fix my few qualms with them. I do apologize for a general lack of knowledge about what those problems may specifically be, but I'll try to describe them. 1. - They are a ported speaker. When...

http://www.klipsch.com/products/r-15pm-powered-monitors Interesting product. It features a true Phono input (MM need only apply), optical, USB, and standard analog input as well as Bluetooth connectivity. Klipsch touts that their internal amplifier is ultra low noise and capable of delivering...

I acquired a pair of older, very obscure pair of speakers. They're Amrita Amrit-Logos and they're a mirrored pair of standmount monitors. I had always assumed that you would ideally want the tweeters further apart, especially if you have the speakers in a smaller space. Would there be any...

Thread title says it all. I got lucky and found a pair of Thiel PCS monitors in very good condition for a reasonable price and so far I'm pretty excited. Once I got them home and hooked up and playing for all of about 2 minutes I was beside myself. These don't sound like any speaker I've ever...

Just picked one of these little guys up for $35. Great shape and sounds pretty darn good for a bite sized powered sub/woofer. It's no giant killer, but it may be one of the smallest subwoofer I've ever had and it sounds pretty darn good so far. I could live with it. Just needs a wipe down/dusting.

Elac and Andrew Jones unveiled the UB5 bookshelf speakers at CES Jan. 8th. This new speaker will be part of a line higher than the very popular Debut series. They look similar, but it's appearance where the similarities end. Taking notes from Mr. Jone's work with TAD it appears to employ a...

I might have an opportunity to pick up a pair of these in good shape for a reasonable price (round $200-250 for the pair) and possibly may get the Mythos Seven center to match (around $100-150). This is possible because of the benefit of my work. I currently have a pair of Boston VR-M50...

This is a thread born of curiosity, no urgency. I happen to have some JBL L100t3s on the sales floor and while it's not exactly a suitable acoustic environment the definitely have a certain presence to them, and they sound very "big". How does a speaker like this stack up compared to modern...

I've on and off thought about trying to pick up a pair of Infinity IL36c center speakers and attempting to use them as a stereo left and right speaker pair. It's my understanding that the addition of the midrange relieves a lot of stress off the tweeter allowing it to do what it does best and...

Stunning to look at. As to how it performs I wouldn't have the faintest clue. This is very much in line with their hi-fi amplifiers of decades past in terms of appearance, but appears to be a whole other level of quality and engineering.

http://phantom.devialet.com/phantom/en/v2/?gclid=CI2N583ds8kCFZGMaQodjVEBog What the heck is this thing. It looks smaller than a boombox, claims "up to 3000 watts" and "0" distortion as well as 16Hz output.... Who is this clown? Is he another Dyson copycat? When pigs fly.

These look appealing. They have a 80hz filter on them that is defeatable and can be connected to a subwoofer without any extra nonsense. http://dd4life.3dcartstores.com/DD-PM151-Powered-Monitors_p_250.html

Now that I have a relatively up to date AVR helming my simple 2.1 setup I have a couple questions about ARC. The Components - Marantz NR1504 Samsung UN46**8500 (can't remember the letters there, sorry) XBOX ONE PS3 1. What audio codecs will return to the receiver from the television? Is...

I know, terrible thread title. I couldn't be bothered to think hard about it. http://audio.vizio.com/ Even though Vizio is no high fidelity audio manufacturer it is amusing to see them basically slap down certain mass market drivel. Really all that matters is that they said "Watts don't matter."

Flat, uninspiring face, no multichannel preouts, no phono input? There was a time when Cambridge appealed to the "Audiophile" market, now it seems like they're just cashing in on loyalists.

First let me be perfectly honest with you. I'm not an Electrical Engineer. I'm not an expert on amplifier design or service. What I know I have learned mostly from here and some research elsewhere. Again, I'm not an expert and I don't expect my writing to be regarded as expert opinion let alone...

Recently purchased a gently used Marantz NR1504 for a song and wondered where the best place was to get a replacement Mic for the Audyssey Auto Calibration. I found some on eBay as little as $16.00 with free shipping but wanted to verify it was hunky dory before I buy it and to be sure it's...

I'm looking for both new and used CD players (the smaller the better) of decent to high quality that have integral volume control that can be controlled via remote. I know some early Sony CD players had this feature as well as Adcom, both of which are typically on the larger side but I could...
