    TEAC reference series?

    in 2-Channel Home Audio

    Posted

    Anyone out there know about the TEAC reference components? I have not seen the TEAC name for years and even then it was on good reel to reel tape recorders not amps. They make some small components that will fit in my entertainment center. I will be using SB-2 towers.

    Thanks

    Need a headset

    Thanks for the imput, I tried some Sennheisers at $100 but a friend let me use his Sony 7506 at the same price and they were more compact folded and the sound was a little crisper.

    I decided I really wanted comfort and the Sony's fit better and are lighter. My basic need is for something to use for music and movies on my Mac titanium lap top will flying on the airlines. The closed design muffled more ambient noise than the open design and I am not sold on the noise cancelling technology.

    Now that you have got me looking at the better headphones, I get the feeling that the better sounds headphones do not have the noise reduction feature. I understand the closed and open designs but this noise reduction seems to be some sort of electronic filtering. Do you give up sound quality for the noise reduction?

    Hi,

    I am looking for a good headset for music and computer hookups. I looked at the Bose set they are advertising in the inflight mags but I have nothing to compare them to at $300.

    I want the noise muffling feature so I think I need the over the ear style.

    Any suggestions?

    Thanks

    Pro V 2 has bad sub connector

    in Klipsch Pro Audio

    Posted

    Hi,

    I have discovered that the 6 pin cable or the connector in the sub has a problem, I have to wiggle the cable connector just right or I get no sound or a static and thumping sound. When I looked inside the sub the female connector is attached to a circuit board which I don't think it can be worked on, and I have not been able to find the cable and the male connector to see if that is the problem . (I do think the problem is inside the sub.)

    Any suggestions?

    What is the warranty on this product?

    Thanks

    Pounding sound with 2.1s

    in Technical/Restorations

    Posted

    I have a set of 2.1s running on a Imac, in the middle of the night there was a pounding sound coming from the speakers. It was loud enough to wake my wife one night and me a few nights later.

    Both nights we shut the power off to the speakers to stop it. I think that there was feedback to the computer because there is a PRAM problem now, propably the mother board got fried. Has anyone incountered this problem or know what would cause it?

    Thanks

    Matching center and rears with KG-2's

    in Home Theater

    Posted

    On the old site there was a chart that match speakers for surround sound. I don't know if it is still on the redone site they are using now.

    Anyway, the SS-1 for rears, SC-1 for a center and I think the 12inch sub is what is recommended with the KG-2s.

    They package this all together as a surround setup that includes SF-1 instead of the KG-2s, I bought this group and switched the towers for the bookselves because of space reasons and it works just fine.

    Most of the people on this site would recommend you go with the higher level speakers. (The KG-2 as well as the Synergy line are entry level.)

    Hope this helps.

    Big Screen TV

    Thanks for the replies.

    This Set is for my Mother and Father in law.

    I have a 50 in Hitachi that came with this house and it is getting old but still works pretty well. I have big Sony tube sets and like them fine (heavy if you ever have to carry them).

    What I need to know is if the 53xbr is current as far as digital and whatever else is going to be coming in the next 5 years.

    I agree with your feelings that the Sonys own the tube market and I have always heard the Hitachis are good projection TVs and I will do the comparision.

    depressing visit!

    Same kind of thing is happening with rock bands and the albums they put out. There was a time when a band released a new group of songs it was a big deal and everyone was talking about it. Now a band seems to have a hard time putting three good cuts on a new release. Times are changing.

    What is a good Receiver for SF-1s??

    in 2-Channel Home Audio

    Posted

    These speakers are included in that SF package you may have been hearing, I bought the package to put around some old KG2 (bookshelfs) because I didn't want towers. Now the old JVC that is running the towers is getting weak and will need replacing. Here is where it gets iffy. I am really thinking of spending $5 to $8000 on a tube set up with some Sonus Farber speakers. I would like to play with some old tube equipment with these SFs and put them in the Pool room. Sooo as you can see I did't make my first post very clear and I am sorry for that.

    None the less nobody cares about this low end stuff that Klipsch puts out and thats fine, I just find that unless you get a little agressive nobody replies.

    Price is not real important but this stuff would be in the humdity and solid state may be better.

    Thanks

    Doug, I like the SF-1s fine. They are not a high priced speaker and I know that. The harshness seems to come from the past experiences with low end posts to this site. The statment was more to get a result, other wise people on this don't respond. I am assuming they do not consider the enter level Klipsch speakers to be up to the PWK standards. More suited to the Best Buy and Circuit City crowd.

    Sorry for the attitude.

    The 3300 from Denon is the discontinued model that the 3801 replaced. I think the 3300 is the same basic box without the 7.1, there could be some other differences and they are getting harder to find.

    The price point was in the $700 to $800 range when I looked.

    5CH Stereo vs. DTS mode

    I am not sure about this but I think the processor does not just split it into 5 equal channels but filters(?) some of the sound going to the different speakers. Just a guess thought because I don't understand the Prologic and Dolby stuff at all.
