  1. Wow nice post Andy! I want this system so bad, I can also hook it upto my PC also correct? And control the volume with the remote? Oh btw, on the iFi info page, the image that is supposed to be the side view of the iPod on the dock unit when you enlarge it goes to a picture of a ceiling mounted speaker.
  2. Is this a good panel amp? http://www.partsexpress.com/pe/showdetl.cfm?&DID=7&Partnumber=300-796 Also I miss measured the box dimensions, yes it is 1.65 cu-ft but I could easily put a 12" sub into side firing or front firing config. So I'm gonna take a vote on this one, what do you all think I should do with the new driver? Cut bottom hole 1/4" larger and put it where the original was? Cover the bottom with a piece of MDF and put the sub firing to the side? Cover the bottom with a piece of MDF and put the sub firing to the front?
  3. Whoa that down firing calculation is really confusing, can someone help me or tell me if this will work? http://www.partsexpress.com/pe/showdetl.cfm?&DID=7&Partnumber=295-185
  4. I do have another question, I believe there is a formula used to find out if a subwoofer is down fire compatible, would you happen to know it or a website that has it?
  5. I used WinISD to plot this speaker http://www.partsexpress.com/pe/showdetl.cfm?&DID=7&Partnumber=295-185 and It gave pretty good results 32hz at -3db with a nice curve 2.5" port which it came with at a length of 7.8" for a tuning frequency of 29hz And no you didn't scare me at all I know quite a bit about speakers for being quite a noob about them but I just thought I'd head to this forums of knowledgable Klipschers to see if I could get any advice
  6. I have a subwoofer enclosure that originally had a 12" Pioneer downfiring 100w per channel DVC home theater subwoofer with a passive amplified design that I've had in my closet for quite some time since the speaker blew, I'm wondering if you can help me replace it with a good sub that would perform well in the enclosure, it's 5/8" MDF with an internal volume of 1.65 Cu-Ft, I'm willing to convert it to a 10" side firing design but the largest I'd beable to go in a side firing config is 10". I don't want to break the bank here but I would be willing to add an amp to it I've been looking at the ones on partsexpress and they seem reasonably priced.
  7. Can anyone tell me how much of the 200W is put into the satellites? My guess is 40W x 2 and 120W for Sub.
  8. I seem to have run into another problem with the placement of the RB-75's.. Exactly how close can they go to a direct view TV?
  9. Wow I found the Marantz PM7200 on Cambridge SoundWorks website for $499, good deal? http://www.cambridgesoundworks.com/store/category.cgi?item=m1pm7200&adcode=WFROOGLEB3
  10. I'm only 20 and I'm not a millionaire, thoes Khorns cost about $6000 don't they?

SS amp manufacturers usually take measurements at close to (close to not at) max power where their distortion is lowest. At 1 Watt and below, these measurements would be far worse for many amps, so those numbers are not quoted. Sometimes s/n graphs are shown down to 1 Watt ar a half Watt or lower, and you begin to get an idea about how the amp will sound on efficient speakers at moderate volume. But again, those are only indicators to help you decide what to audition (not what to buy). I suggest you get the speakers then begin auditioning amps. Leo ---------------- So what I should do is get the speakers and then bring them to a high end audio store and try them on various amps?
  12. I'd like to keep the amplifier cost under $500 what would be my best choice, I want something new not used. I was thinking the Cambridge Audio Azur series.
  13. Can someone clue me in on Signal to Noise Ratio? I'm looking at these really high end amps and I'm only seeing that they are 85-92db SNR, and I look at cheaper ones and I notice they are 100db or more... Whats the deal? Are cheaper amps measured in a way that isn't measuring their true output or something?
  14. So between the RB-35 and the RB-75.. the 75 would be my best bet for a bookshelf speaker?
