I disagree with drumminman. Movies often have lots of low freq effects which you may not even know exist until you hear it on a system capable of reproducing them. You state that the drivers are...

How can you expect any reasonable response when you don't tell us who made the speakers, what model they are, etc. If you want to go with something other than what the OEM specified, you need to...

If you want to give tubes a try & don't want to break the bank, then why not DIY? I built a Dynakitparts.com ST-35 & am extremely pleased. The JJ EL84 tubes I bought for it originally were, shall...

You are wise not to plug it in! There is a significant chance the electrolytic caps are gone & could explode when hit with a power surge.

Might be a fun project cleaning it up!

2001 Toyota Echo. Not fun to drive like our previous VW's and noisy on the highway. But it is extremely reliable; low cost of ownership, and does a good job of passing gas stations: so far, over...

Depends om what you are looking for from a sub. I have a PSW10 which I sometimes use with smaller speakers which have an f/3 about 60 Hz. The PSW10 fills in the bottom end of the music quite...

I am not a HT type, but I have been reading Floyd Toole's "Sound Reproduction". And I do have many years of experience with 2 channel and 2.1.

Toole suggests a 7.1 set-up with left & right fronts...

I recently built a Dynakitparts.com ST-35. Don't know about the others, but the ST-35 is common ground.

And I can recommend dynakitparts for their excellent customer service. Kevin returned my...

Speakers designed to be free standing are not likely to do well when put into a wall. Better to select a speaker designed for that purpose--I assume that one intended for ceiling installation could...

My suggestion is to go down to a local music shop & see what they have.

As a sound tech for a small theater group: if I were in the market, I would be looking at an ElectroVoice powered speaker...

T/S parameters are the performance characteristics of the driver which you need to design a cabinet. See:

Cheers, Jim

I would be reluctant to go changing a cabinet. Speakers are designed as a unit. Changing dimensions (even though maintaining the same volume) may affect performance. If the width of the front...

Zingo,

Running the numbers through Godzilla's calculator: the Tang Band W8-1808 would be rather a LARGE BIB: H 75.5", W 20.5", D 28.5". The 1808 has some very positive reviews, but I would be...

If you have been thinking of more modest size speakers, maybe you would consider building your own speakers using single full range drivers! Two possible choices from among many:
1) Metronomes with...

If you like large scale classical, I would suggest looking at the mid-sized drivers, maybe the Fostex FF165wk. The 4.5" drivers do the highs a bit better, but they can get congested with complex...

Not sure what your taste in music and spl requirements might be, but for SFRD DIY, you might look at http://www.planet10-hifi.com/ and related sites. Also, many DIYers hang out at DIYaudio.com ....

I would recommend against what you propose. In order to have coherent sound from front to back, you would need to have time delays for the mid and back position speakers, otherwise you will have a...

Zingo,

If you want to go w/ MLTL, then one of Bob Brines' model would do well for you.

If you want to make an OB, then check out MJK's site: http://www.quarter-wave.com/
Look at both the OB...

Speaker placement and orientation depend upon your specific room and speakers. Placement will have significant effects on sound stage, imaging, and bass performance. General rule of thumb is to...

For little nicks & scratches, I have had good luck with a bit of walnut (the meat NOT the shell) smashed onto the scratch then rubbed to get the nut oil onto the wood; pick off the excess nut meat...

Personally, I like many different styles of music, including classical. And I'd like to point out that as there are many styles of Jazz and POP, there are many types of classical. So if you are,...

What are you listening to? HT, music, or both? How loud?

I like my PSW10 for a music system where max vol is maybe 85dB peak. The PSW10 only goes down to about 30 Hz, so I wouldn't suggest it...

It's essentially impossible to get a car that's built in America with all American parts. IIRC ABC had a piece on their evening news a while back looking at where cars were built and how much...

My experience: we buy cars new, take good care of them & keep them as long as we can.

My 2001 Toyota Echo is going strong at 147K miles. My wife's 2004 RAV4 is doing fine at 275K miles. Both...
