    The Truth about AR9 speakers and WPC

    Hey guys, just picked up these well thought of speakers and afterwards I’ve read some reviews about how they NEED well over 100 wpc. I tried them on my Luxman L-410 75wpc but I like them better on my R-1050 55wpc. Am I missing something? Is there something magic that happens at higher watt...

    Crossover upgrades

    Hi there, Not sure if this is the right forum but here goes... I have a pair of Infinity Reference Two speakers and I've noticed one of the speakers is sounding extremely dull, like the tweeter isn't even working at all. My first guess is the capacitor is dead but I have no way of testing it. I...

    JBL HP88F opinions?

    Hi, like the title states, looking for some opinions as to the quality of the JBL HP88F speakers. I’m pretty new to the audiophile sphere and picked these up for free (in excellent working condition), and was just wondering if I could find insight from others who have owned. Thanks

    Vintage Speakers - and Pioneer SX780

    Hello all, First post - patience. I've been running a Pioneer SX780 for some time now, love Pioneer SX series. However, my speaker knowledge base often gets overrun with too many options. I want to run an A/B setup to play both, or just A depending on situation. Budget isn't a huge issue...

    Female banana to pin connectors.

    Couldn't find what I wanted so I made my own. These become married to speakers that do not have banana connectors. It enables me to swap out speakers quickly which is important when testing. The faster I can hear the next set of speakers, the better my judgement is. That is the theory...

    Speaker Crossover Analysis

    Is there a way to determine if a crossover is bad? That is, if the caps need replacing or something else? Is there a phone app I can use to read output or something? I don’t even know how this would be input or read but I remember in grad school that microphones can be self calibrating...

    Klipsch KG 5.5 vis-a-vis Zu Dirty Weekend

    Choosing between a KG 5.5 OR Zu DW to pair with my Scott 222. Thoughts on how they would differ? Anybody matched either speakers to a low watt tube amp? Very slim picking in my part of the world, so not too many choices for highly efficient speakers.
