Please enlighten us Bob on this simple mod!

The spec doesn't say it will sound good. - which it won't

"I know I originally posted that by comparison I thought the Eminence made the Beyma "sound like an overpriced POS", but I think I might have been tricked by the brighter/louder speaker always sounds better thing. The little Eminence kicks butt, but the Beyma has a certain refined quality that's also very appealing -- just not as apparent until you settle in with for a bit. Intersting stuff." Naw, it just broke in![]

Probably should not admit this, but I heard the Altecs with Subwoofer (VS2221) at 39.95 and they rocked! - I bought em!

I thought I would ask this here instead of the Pro Media Forum, so that I could get a '2 channel perspective' I need a pair of semi-portable PC speakers to plug into my Laptop and am hearing good things about the Promedia Ultra 2.0 speakers. Are these the ones to buy currently? THanks

2 Words - Tube Amps!

NO - Bad Idea for a lot of reasons: Mainly 1.) Vibration from the speakers will feedback into the amps and 'muddy' the sound. 2.) Tubes won't like the vibration and neither will the other components in the amp.

I'd just like to know what he's smokin?

I take it that the above posters have never heard an Edgarhorn. Anyone else?

So, what did you upgrade to? And where are you located?

One of the things that I have noticed, is that most folks get 'hung' up on the Khorn and Corner issue. I think a larger issue is the size of the room. Khorns need a lot of room to breathe. Big room = Great sound. Small room = poor sound. If you tried Khorns, and you didn't like them, your room was probably too small. A good room would be about 25 feet by 30 feet. Having great corners in a room that is 12 feet by 16 feet probably won't cut it! I have heard Khorns in a smaller room (with perfect corners) and they don't sound near as good as mine in a larger room with compromised corners.

I owned Belles previously and now own Khorns. My Khorns are not in proper corners currently and they simply blow away my Belles and all of the La Scalas that I have heard! I had the same concerns when I got rid of my Belles. Go for the Khorns and don't worry about corners! - you can always add the corners later. The performance of Khorns freestanding in a room will demolish a pair of La Scalas.

Yup! - You're right! - Sorry bout that!

Build a Welborne DRD SET amp kit and you won't have to worry about building anything else. Yes, it costs a bit more than the other kits, but you can select your Choice of Wood Frame and other options. The DRD45 amp sounds simply stunning!
