Advice of Bob harley as far as speaker cable length versus interconnect length
take it for what you consider worth but Harley, editor The Absolute Sound maintains that longer interconnects are preferred with shorter speaker cable length. He reports that his listening room is organized this way...
To tube amp lovers,
Any sense in trying to run Vantages with a two channel tube amp (likely 100Wpc will be the highest I can do right now). I saw the specs of the vantage say recommended amp power from 20-500W/ch. Has anybody compared the ESLs run on a solid state versus tube?
tagging
If you listen to a lot of classical music, then you will see that the tagging function of iTunes is miserable. A single composer will come up with 10 different variations of the same name. One software I have heard organizes iTunes well is TAGALICIOUS, available from the App store. Also...
Difference between single and double biwiring
Can somebody pls explain the difference between single and double biwiring? I thought biwiring meant that you have to get two runs of cables from the amp to one speaker?

Can anybody provide a decent rec for Jumper cables for the ML vantage
To all the gurus of jumper cables,
Can anybody please me a few recs for jumper cables for my ML vantage which won't break the bank. I have a Transparent 10AWG cable to my vantages. And should the jumper cable have spade or...
Currently using Transparent in wall cable at 10AWG, no conduits but for Biwiring, realize that I have to. Sounds like, Getting better jumper clips may be a easier place to start
Have about 10-12 feet of speaker cable
Thanks,
My speaker cable is about 10-12 feet on both sides (runs through the wall and hence the length). Don't know whether bi-wiring is recommended for longer speaker cable length.
Wondering whether anybody has noticed improvement in sound quality in bi-wiring the Vantages. use a Rotel 200w/pc to drive them. Dealer says definite advantage but haven't done a A/B comparison yet.
Thanks for the reply.
It is the Apple Parametric EQ that is available from Apple and can be liked to iTunes or PureMusic player. it provides three variables to control.
Center frequency, Q and gain from -20 to 20 dB. I used a Radioshack SPL meter fixed to a tripod at my listening position and...
Am new to room correction but has anybody tried using the apple EQ plug ins to compensate for peaks and troughs in freq response curves. meridian room correction is way beyond my budget
Appreciate any input.
Thanks for the response. The only reason why I am debating is the Sound labs is a full range electrostatic at that price compared to the hybrid Summit.
Hi,
Was thinking of upgrading my vantage to summits but saw the full range electrostatics from Sound Lab (Millennium Px3) that is comparatively priced. Unfortunately my dealer does not have the Sound lab electrostats. Anybody heard them and do they compare to ML Summits. Wondering whether an...
