SWL Posted December 2, 2008 Author Share Posted December 2, 2008 So, you have the preamp and you have the amps. Curious.....What do you have your gains/attenuators set at on the Crown's? speaker volumes on the Denon? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coytee Posted December 2, 2008 Share Posted December 2, 2008 Curious.....What do you have your gains/attenuators set at on the Crown's? I know you're not asking me....but I'll answer anyway [6] (Bill always has his turned too far down anyway!!) I'd speculate that I'm the only one running Crown K2's. I just replaced (tonight) my BX3 with the two K2's. One thing I've done in the past is try to adjust the gain knobs so when everything is turned down...I'd have no noise. I started at the K2's and worked my way back to my Peach (which is also currently out in lieu of my Lexicon) When I had my Peach in, I had the gains on it MAXED because the closer I got to 12:00, the MORE noise would be in the system. I got the least amount of noise either way down or way up but no where near, the middle. I ended up having the gains on the K2's on about the 5th click. Let's call it 9:00 position. What I'm finding intersting is, tonight when I put them back in (hooked up to the Lexicon for the first time) Anyways, when I hooked them back up.... I could have them MAXED and hear some noise, so I was able to back them down to about 3:00 until the noise was pretty much gone. This certainly livens up the potential volume control! I always had them at 9:00 which is certainly good enough for most everyday listening and 'cranking'. If I wanted to work downstairs or outside and needed some extra muscle, I could always move them up. Kind of like having secondary butterflies on your carb in your (in my case) Oldsmobile 442 [Y] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DrWho Posted December 2, 2008 Share Posted December 2, 2008 I've heard the Palladiums at Damon's house. I would have to say that to me......they sounded like an ultra-refined Reference speaker, that had midrange so smooth I've never heard out of a Heritage speaker. Fantastic speaker.....but the price is a different story. For what it's worth, I think the Palladium has a bit smoother midrange than the Jubilee, but I think a lot of that has to do with Damon's very nice sounding room. I'm yet to hear Jubs in such a tweaked out situation. As far as the bass, it's quite apparent that the Jub has way way lower distortion - so it sounds a lot more effortless and in your face with percussion. I also prefer the sound of bass when its tucked into the corner of the room and the Pals pretty much require placement out away from the corner in order to sound their best. That's probably the other half of why the mids are so smooth (naturally less early reflections). Being a 2-way, the Jubilee is a bit more cohesive than the Palladium...especially when it comes to cymbals, high hats and pretty much anything that hits the registers of the tweeter. The Palladium sounds like the highs are seperate from everything else, where with the Jub it all sounds like its coming from the same place. I find it particularly distracting with strings and piano actually. Actually, I would probably prefer the Palladium if it had a more cohesive top-end...the extra distortion in the bass is more forgiving of lesser quality source material, and everything else about the speaker is just so "inert".

bhendrix Posted December 2, 2008 Share Posted December 2, 2008 So, you have the preamp and you have the amps. Curious.....What do you have your gains/attenuators set at on the Crown's? speaker volumes on the Denon? XTi gain is set at 12 o'clock. Denon is usually at about -15 db for movies.

SWL Posted December 2, 2008 Author Share Posted December 2, 2008 Denon is usually at about -15 db for movies.I was talking about individual speaker volumes. When I used my Denon, I had them between 0db and +5db. (test tones) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
