Hello all, I have been removed from the forum for several years, life got crazy for me. I will spare the life story and get down to it. One thing that never changed in my time away is my love for my ML Theos. But semi recently (last couple years) I have been experiencing this intermittent...

Hear is my question though... I have read the entire thread and I do admit that anything looks weird in the beginning, however why couldn't they have just made the new speakers with a similar cabinet design? I cant image that there is a legitimate engineering problem with the angular design. It...

I cant say I am a fan of the cabinet shape yet... However the concept behind what they are trying to accomplish would outweigh that for me.

Beautiful. I will try to remove the vinyl then. I considered just sanding the vinyl until its all smooth, but if the advise is to just strip it then that is what Ill do. I will report back when I actually make some sort of progress haha

Hello everyone! Its been a while since I have came on the forum. I have been busy and I have gone off to graduate school so I am being kept very busy, but my passion for music/audio is still in full effect. In fact I might need to update my system. Now to the meat and potatoes. Before I left my...

Sure, but the ESLs are still going to work on pretty much anything. Even the amp you are using now would be considered under powered for the 40's by some. It really just takes you looking into your overall goals and seeing what equipment helps achieve said goals. Everyone's goals are different...

Welcome! Looking forward to see witness your trip down the rabbit hole! haha

Youre probably right but sometimes the filter between my input signals and output signals fail and I end up replying anyways haha.

I suppose one thing to keep in mind is that most UPS's don't actually run the same circuit all the time. When you switch over to battery backup is when the power is out. I know that when I was using one and the battery system kicked in I could hear a significant difference, otherwise it was...

While you are correct, you are also dealing with an ideal world, which we are not. In theory yes you are right, but since incoming signals and out going signals are not perfectly out of phase with each other we still see magnetic effects on a varying scale. Then when you coil the wire you are...

UPS's wouldn't, hurt they just wouldn't help all that much. The big applications for UPS's is projectors and hard drives. Things that require a cool down/spin down/shut down phase. But if you still want one the only one I know of that is really good is from Panamax. Its the 5102. It only has...

RCA caps cover unused input/outputs from absorbing high frequency noise from other devices. Furman Elite is a company and product line. Google it and you can see their whole product line

I use Audioquest. They are awesome and have a full range of products in all price ranges. I really hate promoting companies I have no vested interest in haha but it helps for testing purposes. Magnolia HT/AV carries audioquest so running in to pick up some wires to decide if you like them or not...

Yeah it is going to be difficult to predict. Depending on how involved you want to get with you research you could run some computer simulations of your room haha. But it would be much easier to just get them home as start playing around with them. The tough part is that bass frequencies can be...

Wait wait wait. Are you Sure J means that. Usually certain manufacturers use different suffix's for no real apparent reason. I have seen them use Ks, Rs, Js, Qs, etc. And they all have different conversions based on who made it. This one however does appear pretty straight forward. Easy way to...

Yeah I am not ready to buy yet but I like compiling my options. I need to pay off some bills before the semester starts again, but good news is I got the next two semesters paid for by scholarships (pays for have good grades haha) so the money I would have spent there will more then likely go to...

That is very helpful. Right now I am between W4S and D-Sonic. They both get rave reviews but the D-Sonics are just a smidgen cheaper and get a bit more power, so that might be a decider for me. Let us know of anymore findings please.

I was going to point fingers at your pre next. Just a thought though, do you have the levels for the channels set correctly? I have no experience with Lexicon so I am not really sure what capabilities they have. But if you have (for example) the levels set really low on the center and higher on...

Ever since I added my Motif I have noticed a huge difference in the 2.1 vs. 5.1 and the difference is great! I love my Motif and I am really happy with my choice in it, so my inclination to the question is yes it is necessary.

This thread seems to have died quite a while ago and seeing as I am still interesting in possibly upgrading my spikes with outrigger feet, or not, I thought I might try to revive it quickly. I see a lot of people talking about the "science" to back up the claims. Now from my experience in...
