They look good, exactly how'd you do it? BS Button

Dean, What speak is in your avatar?

Wrong Dean. Two things wrong with what you just said. 1. Most modern recordings are recorded "in your face". The vocalist is almost on top of the microphone. The bass guitar is plugged directly into the mixing console. Mics might be placed in the drums or immediately above or below them, or even attached to the rims. Stringed instruments are mic'd close, often in pairs or trio. The majority of it was literally recorded "in your face". A Klipschorn (for expample) is simple doing its job of presenting it the way it is. 2. I"ll say it AGAIN. Much of the so-called harshness or in your face quality that many people seem to complain about are also caused by the way the horn interacts with the room's acoustics (which in most residential environments is "harsh"). Other factors are the horns ability to produce all the nuances of the grit and other characteristics of the recording and associated equipment. With excellent recordings AND a proper acoustic environment there is no "in your face" quality to any properly designed horn. The recording and the room are also part of the playback system. Might I say that I agree with both of you?

I just bought an Audio Note M Zero tube pre on a wim. It's not even here, yet. Could someone please comment on this equipment. Seems like there are two Audio Note companies: one is Japan and one in UK, both of them are very elite it would appear, especially the Japanese outfit.

That sounds like the answer I was looking for. So, basically you'd need to run HDMI from your receiver to your TV, then run HDMI from DVD to your receiver, then run HDMI from your cable or satillite box to your receiver and swith between the two from your receiver only. Basically, I'll only turn on my receiver for movies on Friday and or Saturday nights, however. So it's no real big deal for me to swith the input on the TV, once a week. My current set up is HDMI cable from the Satillite box to the TV and HDMI from the DVD player to the TV, then I monitor the DVD player with RCA's to the receiver or integrated. If I wanted to, I could just run the HDMI cable from the DVD to the Receiver, dish the RCA's, and run another HDMI to the TV? Thanks again I have other questions about this stupid bass management on most of these 5.1 or 7.1 receivers. Set your speakers to "big or small"? What happened to the loudness buttons on these things?

In laymans terms, would someone please explain this to me. Now, I've recently gotten into a little more of the home theatre area and this term video switching keeps coming up. My problem is that I'm not ready for the 5.1 or 7.1. I still listen to two channel on movies, which sounds great to me. I have a 47 HD LCD with three hdmi inputs I have two speakers to use I can monitor my TV for Two channel, I can monitor my DVD player for two channel, Right? I can stomach 2-channel for the foreseeable future, but feel the need to go with a 5.1 or 7.1 receiver with HDMI. What does a darned receiver got to do with video? Why do they have HDMI inputs and outputs? This is really frustrating for a two channel junkie...Help!!! Currently looking around for my receiver or processor.

Speedball, As it turns out, there was a slight Bzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz sound, which I always thought was normal for tubes and I ASSumed was associated with the Peach. Anyway, since I've sold the Peach to you, I went ahead and hooked up my CD player (with variable outs) directly to my older Aragon 2004 amp (which I love by the way). Turns out the Bzzzzzzzzz was coming directly from the amp. I've never hooked it up this way before, but now I know. Glad to hear your Peach is dead quiet. No pun intended. BS Button

Sounds like it's bi wire only one way, then? If so, how do you put two banana plugs on one terminal (the amp side)?

What are it's purposes? I have RF-7's that I believe are b-wireable? I would have to take off the jumpers, no? How do you hook to the amp or reciever? Please advise BS Button

Another sideways version, evidently they fire backwards

On ebay

Caution: do not use anything over the original thickness or exceed the other dimensions. I would recommend a polyester batting material of about 3/4" in thickness. Do not get carried away. I made this mistake, on the first try, since I had access to dampening materials. I used a high quality convoluted (2" thick) polyester foam. It actually "choked" the bass response. I had to go back to original dimensions with similar material , and the bass returned. [bs]

Congrats to the Dtels and Rigma's too... BS[bs]

Kudos to you Colter

IB Slammin, Looks like MSU is a bottom feeder, again [*-)]

Hey man!!! When did you let the LaScalas go? Are the RF-7's the first choice, or the Cornwalls? I'm glad you still have the peach. woo Ya know it's really strange. I'll explain later. Good to hear from you Woo

One thing is for sure in my book. Low volume listening.... Corns[Y] RF7's[Y] LaScala's[N]

Glad your enjoying them I also appreciate their pristine condition...Thanks again KOHILL!!!

I'm really enjoying the RF-7's with a Peach in front of Aragon SS...

Just that I can stand a bit more volume on the 7's before it morphs into just plain loud. Corns have more impact and they get loud, faster. No doubt, the RF-7's require more power in my mind, but they appear to stay together with that additional volume More controlled bass on the 7's same room, same position, same power

Smells like my solid state amp just got a tiny workout, finally. I'm somewhat impressed at the longevity of the listening session. Most times, I'm only good for about 30 minutes to an hour. A lot beefier speaker than I had previously imagined. More mellow and laid back than the Corns, I'd guess. What else should I be noticing? Tell me... BS

Makes you wonder why they didn't put a tractrix in the "new" Cornwall III? BS

Get into the dog box and see if anything got in there between the 3" slot and the woofer. that happened to me on my first pair and I found all sorts of stuff in there. Could be a voice coil in the woofer? Most times you can rule out anything with bad cabinetry on the heritage line, I've found. Maybe a loose screw on the horn or woof? BS

Back of Cornwall 1's or equivalent type need the 1/4" fork, correct? I have a rather old Aragon amp. What will work there? I will solder and heat seal.
