I know I read it somewhere but can't find it. Regarding wiring the output from my C-52 preamp to my BF210's input what is the preferred method on a 2 channel system? Is it single run RCA to left & right from the preamp. Or use one sub (R) to feed the other (L) via speaker out? I can go either...

Thanks Jon I am content with my plan. Now to the fun part of watching over contractors from 5 hours away :D

My plans were for the speakers to be a minimum of 3 ft from the front wall.... not a problem as the room has a single purpose for a single person. I agree the room treatments will be extensive to make the speakers work and I'm willing to do this to learn. After all it is a hobby. ;) If the 13's...

Yes sir they are Stellar M700 Monoblocks. I keep comparing them to my Mac amps the Stellars seem to be lacking in the crispness of a cymbal crash as opposed to the SS Mac but far better in lower frequencies at the same volume levels (about 60db). With the inherit power increase to about (70db)...

Mike thanks for the input I value your experience. No basement, new home is 35 miles NE of Austin, TX "hard rock country". I am buying 2 of the TV's one for "my room" and one for the much larger and open living area. It will be my room because I watch sports and at times really crank up the 2...

Currently building a new retirement home and downsizing but, for the first time I will have my own 2-channel stereo room. I'm not concerned with HT and all that implies. I am relegated to 16 x 14 x 9 room with one 14 wall with a 6 ft window. I will list my existing equipment as follows: Samsung...

Stuck at home with my wife recouping from some eye surgery. Today it's Eric Clapton "Me & Mr. Johnson" then Little Feat "Rad Gumbo":rocker: Streaming on Tidal

As I start the process of building a new 2 channel system (with 13A's) curious if anyone has experience with these new amps? Reviews appear promising and the pricing is attractive. :music:

Jonathan, thanks for the explanation and input. At my age I don't require extreme volume so I've never (nor intend) to push my equipment to the extremes. Your suggestion of using the MEN220 to better match the gain is intriguing requiring further research on my part is required. That's why we...

I failed to mention I have a Mac MEN220 Room Correction System between the preamp and amps. It took a great deal of effort and time to "dial in" the active crossover settings but I like it. I do have one question for you gurus :D? Relative to voltage gain one of the ML engineers strongly...

I am currently using a McIntosh M275 (tube) to drive panels and a MC152 (SS) to drive the woofers of my ESL 9. Doing some testing I used the MC152 to drive both as opposed to Bi-Amping as I'm currently doing. I did notice a softer higher frequency sound from the tube amp as opposed to the SS...

Mike, Super nice set-ups. I hope to relocate in the future and will upgrade my ESL 9's to 13A's and add another BF10 sub. Curious what are the deminesions on your #504 room?

I added a 210 Sub to the system. After much tweaking with speaker placement, MEN220 and PBK it is now sounding much better. Finally got the clarity, separation and punch I was looking for. The active crossover was indeed what the ESL 9's needed for this application. My next experiment will be to...

GW1800, I did make the changes in placement per your suggestion it did help tremendously. Thank you. Found a "deal" on a McIntosh MEN220 Room Correction System it's now in the system, with factory settings (no tweaking yet) getting better all the time.;) I will utilize it mainly as an active...

bikerneil.........the jury is still out on the MC275??????????? Currently experimenting with a Mac MEN220 Room Correction in the system. Trying to Bi Amp the 275 driving the panels and SS MC152 driving the woofers. Contingent upon my success or failure I may sell the 275:(

Yes sir I am bi-amping with the stock crossovers. I am open to a good active crossover if you have a suggestion relative to Brand and Model I would surely welcome it? GW1800, I will implement your placement suggestions also, for sound and enhancement of room appearance :rocker: Thanks guys...

The room is not very conducive to a premiere listening environment (when my wife retires I'll fix this in the next home). The left speaker is inward right on the edge of the open area. The right speaker has an angled wall behind it, both are approximately 12 inches away from the back walls...

I hope to learn from the group experiences relative to Amp applications. Currently McIntosh MC275 (with a McIntosh MC152 waiting) driving ESL 9 Classics. I will continue to read and learn before posing a question.:D
