    Garage speaker placement

    I have Advent Legacy IIs high and 20' apart on the back wall of a 2 car garage. It's like an ampitheater with the doors open and sounds great at any volume level whether I'm inside or out. The neighbor on one side doesn't mind and the other one has dementia, hopefully not from my music which is...

    IL-50 tweeter problem

    I had an IL-10 in use during the tweeter problem. Front removed. There was a fair amount of sawdust in the opening and on and around the tweeter. The tweeter is mounted to the plastic front with four philips screws. No need to worry about polarity, there are different size spade...

    Orchestral Music: Where do you stop with the volume knob?

    A remote helps a lot with the getting up and down thing. I don't have much in the way of orchestral stuff except Copland and a few others but, Fanfare For The Common Man has to be crankin'

    Wire length?

    Job's done, I went with the same length. Sansui 350a to Electro-Voice Aristacrats. I used 18ga only because this system is played at low volume. I believe the bass response is better with the new wire, I won't even tell you the size of the old wire. I think the Aristacrats were made for jazz...

    Wire length?

    How important is matching the length of speaker wires and do you match? I'm asking because I'm running new wire (larger gauge) and the current lengths don't match.

    Why do we like the music we like?

    Why do we like the music we like? Is it a predetermined genetic thing; do different brains perceive music differently so that some forms are unappealing or is it a combination of things, i.e. age, exposure, intellect, wealth? Is there progressive change as we mature and why do we settle on the...

    new here, seeking some advice for my new vintage hi-fi setup...thorens/tandberg

    There's a "sticky" thread about using "Deoxit" for cleaning pots and switches - I'd start there and report back. I love those speaker grills.

    IL-50 tweeter problem

    I've got a blown tweeter in my left channel. I believe this occured while switching my cable box from HBO on demand to a lower non digital channel. I had the volume quite loud during the movie and neglected to turn it down when switching channels. There was a loud pop from both channels. I...

    Monday morning QBing the deal isn't going to change anything so take whatever lessons you learned from this experience and just enjoy your amp.

    VCRs

    The problem with line-in only is that you have to have a set top box to record TV and then the set top box has to be on the channel that you want to record from. If I want to record the same program Mon-Fri at 3PM, which is what I want, then I have to make sure I leave the set top box on the...

    New music ideas for young woman (daughter)

    She's 27, uses CDs, likes country and classic rock. What I'm really looking for is something out of the mainstream. Something new, Indi. I like to introduce her to new ideas. She plays classic violin but wants to learn to fiddle, so maybe some bluegrass.
