Hello Oka, what you are describing sounds very familiar. First, try REW and do manual freq sweep. Try to catch actual troublesome freq range and listen from where on panel it's coming from. I've had Vistas distorting/buzzing especially at piano freq because panels were somewhat lose within side...

Strange......sitting off to the side, the center channel is the clearest sounding! While being in the other room also center channel is the one I'm hearing the most...... Really strange is your experience with the Stage....

I happened to have faulty Stage with panel section not working correctly. Once solved (soldering detached panel wire) it became the most resolving and musical center speaker I've ever had. I was not too far from Vista while used as center only. Not to even mention that even in stereo many of my...

Only to comment on M-channel music but the best sounding 5.1 mixes are with very seldom use of center channel.

Thank You Amey for your comments. All duly noted.

Musical Fidelity X-LPSV8 mod All of Musical Fidelity X series comes with el cheapo wall wart adapter. Than it goes through filtering stage and finally generic regulators. Cheap solution and very negatively impacting sound. First reasonable step was to get good +/- 15v supplied to the unit. I...

Musical Fidelity Tube Buffer X-10v3 This unit is really useful right after my Musical Fidelity Phono X-LPS. When I got it I run some listening sessions with/without and I could definitely tell the difference. However wasn't too sure if the difference is for better or worse. It was clouding up...

Because?????? You can't just make a statement like this and not give explanation. We are grownups and it feels like I'm having conversation with my 2.5 years old niece: "I don't like it", "Why"? "Because....I don't"!!! "This can't be"....what is "this"? Don't you like my soldering? It's quite...

Thanks Tom Hopefully soon I'll be boxing it all up to make it more "presentable"

Amey, "And a piece of loose paper providing "insulation" between a HV board and signal cables?" It looks like you have a lot to say about things you little know of. Up to a point you even started making your own stories about kids crawling around.:D (no offense - it was actually funny...

Amey, I'm not saying the DIY hobby is for everone!!!! Working with electronics DOES require working with potential dangerous voltage! I do not mean to encourage people without knowledge nor experience to get engage in this type of projects. It's prototype........prototype!!!!! Define...

Franken_OPPO 95 modification All of my components were modified to some extent. The most modifications received the most heated/loved component: OPPO 95 Despite all the hype and hundreds of million of people shouting out loud about all the greatness of this player, I was almost lonely voice...

Thanks MPS, It took a lot of trials and errors with REW. My Summits FR in this range doesn't look that good and I'm forced cutting them at 80Hz.

No smooting used.

Two pics = thousands words :) Strangely, I wasn't able to get such nice FR with dual Abyss.

Get yourself 18awg magnet wire. Make 1cm diameter cylindrical about 16 tight turns. Scrape enamel off ends and insert 2.2ohm 5W metal oxide resistor- solder. Place the output inductor you just made in series with +/- amp output. This is a simple and cost effective(about $5) trick manufacturers...

It's my personal responsibility as Pink Floyd fan to buy CD/Blu-ray(M-Channel) and Vinyl=$$$$$. Not to even mention new Bryan Ferry and new Bowie release plus some Bjork new sutff this month....

It has been over 10 years of my involvement in the WTC restoration project. Since that time I went through many stages of design of its different aspects (most of them I can't speak of - confidentiality agreement for sensitive information :-). From the beginning of a bare naked East and West...

"Honey, that's the price we have to pay, so you can hear where I am, when I'm not with you...."

I had similar experience with very similar speaker to yours - Vista. After I bought some BAT preamp with remote having "unity gain" button.... long story short, over 1000w went through my speakers for a couple of seconds. Panel took the abuse without any problems, all electronics inside were...
