    Next project will be to rip all those CDs to flac, store them somewhere else, and serve the music at a whim.

    Have they been abused? What's your goal?

    What's that up the right side inside the outer wall of the one with the doghouse? Looks like insulation - that's what I was talking about.

    Never been a fan of Yamaha audio (they make serviceable equipment in all their lines: motorsports, instruments, electronics, ...). I particularly like the "loudness" control they've use(d). But the idea of any company that feels they have to cater to so many markets just irks me. Like Brad Pitt told someone in "Troy": Decide! In this case I'd surmise it's the receiver you were talked into that's the bottleneck.

    If they're in fact sequential product and both as-delivered (I agree they seem more like mono units), then that would make them even more valuable as a pair, IMO, and wouldn't perform any modifications. I'm still curious if one sounds any better. Judging by the verbiage in the image in the earlier post (Longer "vent" path) I'd be inclined to go with the "doghouse" version as being unmodified, but for the exposed fiberglass...

    Enclose the backs making them look rather like Jubes, AND GET THEM ON THE FLOOR.

    No. All you need is some white glue and packing tape, I've seen the video.

    Spinal Tap thing.

    How are you guys getting such high numbers? My amp goes up to 11, which is one more than most, I thought...

    Never do today what you can put off 'til tomorrow.

    Yeah, but you could put the dogs outside, give yourself and your wife earplugs, crank it for a few minutes, then all the dust can be easily picked up with the sweeper, with the setup you've got...

    Which one sounds better?

    They're Forte IIIs, which, incidentally, happen to be the first money I (recently) spent on speakers in ~30 years...

    With a supply as stiff as that appears to be (why?), likely less than a dB. Rated power is all it makes under any circumstance, though in this case there aren't really any "ratings" anyway, plus it's an SET, so there's that...

    Do you recall what your point was with that response? It went right by me.

    Damn, that third one looks exactly like the one I grew up with!
  17. glens
    Hell, in that photo it almost looks like a single DIN unit!

    Build some servo-controlled platforms with remote control. With several "memory" positions for one-touch recall. Ought'nt be terribly difficult. Though certainly more work/expense than arriving at one suitable average arrangement...

    Rarely does a speaker which produces bass work better not being coupled to the floor. If you're talking about spikes on a fancy hard floor, then no way I'd do that. I'd use a set of mini furniture sliders whatever the speaker had for feet in such a case. The imaging may suffer to a very minor extent, but so be it. I never sit fixed in one position to eek out the last tiniest bit of subtile imagery anyway...

    Personally, I was more impressed by the guy who built L C R horns into his room and calibrated them with his son's drum kit in the mouth of the middle. Thread is some months old now.

    Loose screw or internal wires rubbing on something? I'd pop the woofer out and have a look before going to all the trouble of returning them.

    It's been open game for some time!
  23. glens
    That was rather my point earlier. Not the line cord doing it.
  24. glens
    Seen it many a time. Usually there are a bunch of pad staples jammed into the surface, just here and there except at the seams where nice straight continuous lines exist. So even if the staples are carefully (tediously) picked out instead of scraped up, the flooring will never be as nice again as it once was. It's almost criminal IMO.

    In theory. At the risk of being too simplistic, I'd like to say that any interference the power cord picks up will be AC in nature, it will get transformed to a lower voltage, then at a minimum be rectified and smoothed with capacitors. Whatever was AC is now DC (i.e. 0 Hz) so how is it going to affect anything? I'd think that even if it were possible for electrical interference strong enough to piss in the DC pool because an unshielded power cord picked it up would mess with any nearby low-level signal cables to a much greater extent.
