    Custom Terminal Build

    I'm finally addressing an issue that started, round about ten years ago, broken speaker terminals on my Fisher CA-2120 Integrated amplifier. I've been using this as a pre-amp for the Hafler P500 amplifier since the speaker terminals were junk. After the first two, the A and B R+'s broke, I wired...

    Sound but no bass from 1 speaker

    I have some passive speakers, one of which doesn't have any bass to it. They're 3-way and were working fine. The top and mids are playing, just no bass. I have ruled out amp, cables and source by swapping out all of these components with different components. Would replacing the crossovers'...

    MIT Universal Terminator Module T-4 - What is this thing?

    A bit of googling, but still no good information. What is this thing? There was one of these stuck on to the back of each of the very nice ProAc speakers I recently picked up. I immediately removed them, thinking it's a gimmicky or otherwise useless device. Anyone know what it is, what it does...

    ProAc Tablette 50 - bad surprise when I got them home

    Purchased a pair of ProAc Tablette 50 mini monitors from a nice local couple. They'd wrapped the speakers in towels and had them stored in boxes for many years, and finally decided to sell them. They're pristine. But they stored them in possibly bad orientations in the box, on the side, and...

    Celestion SL6si (have) or ProAc Tablette 50?

    I have the Celestion SL6si, and I like them a lot. They are detailed in the treble but not necessarily that open sounding up there. Would the rather small ProAc Tablette 50, give me anything that I don't already have with the Celestions? Some people rave about them. I am listening in a smallish...

    Inductors for dummies - crossover conundrum

    I'm probably in over my head again, that's why I'm turning to AK. I am endeavouring to repair a crossover that I'm sure is faulty, somehow. It's for a Rogers LS7. I'm sure it's faulty because I've tested the woofer and tweeter and they're producing sound when a signal is applied directly. All...

    Hello, Is it right that you connect the sub on the remote speaker termials on a Maratnz 2270 and the stereo speakers on the main terminals? So when you are listening to music you should have both main and remote speakers switches turned on. Is this bad for the amplifier or is a 2270 made for...
