    Infinity RS IIIa - biwire setup - do I have it right ?

    Know that I'm not the brightest bulb in the closet. Got a new to me pair of Infinity RS IIIa and 1st order of business is re-doing the crossovers. While there is some debate about passively bi-amping these or just using one stout high current amp, I can only go by my experience and it's been...

    Tell me this isn't one stout **** receiver

    I picked up a pair of Infinity RS IIIa the other day and wanting to simply hear them, not worried about speaker placement etc because I planned on immediately re-doing the xo, I plopped them down, hooked them up to a Denon AVR 5800 and as time went by, had them cranked up pretty loud. Great...

    Infinity RS IIIa woofers - wired in series correct ?

    I recently picked up a pair of Infinity RS IIIa and I'm just making sure the wiring on the woofers is correct as I've read some posts where they were wired wrong. Mine are wired in series - top woofer it is the red wire to the positive terminal on the speaker, bottom woofer it's the purple wire...

    Yamaha MX-800 - what voltage are led's in meters ?

    I'm bad at reading schematics obviously. I need to replace the lights in the meter & mine seems to have all LED's in it. Could someone tell me what the voltage on those are ? I'm guessing 5 volts but thought I'd check 1st as there is also 15v there. Thanks

    Carver amp - idle bias - Across emittors ok, speaker outputs high

    Carver PM 175. Not serviced, just checking bias. Reads 73v at filter caps. Using RP100, RP200, measuring across both emitters, adjusted them both to .01mv . Checking at the speaker outputs, left channel reads 11mv, right channel reads 196mv Imagine we can agree 196mv is too high. Anyone have any...

    Altec A7 - can anyone identify what I bought 803B & 802 maybe

    Not a bright way to purchase a pair of these but knowing basically nothing about the VOT speakers, I jumped in head 1st (wallet 1st maybe) and now I'm trying to figure out exactly what I have. The problem at the moment is getting the panel off the back of these isn't going too well, I'm sure...

    Altec 9440A "experts - 15335A or 15095A transformer for home use

    I have a pair of Altec 9440A amps that I plan on using to drive a pair of MartinLogan SL3 at the moment if they turn out to be as nice when I'm done with them as many say they are. In the manual it only mentions using the 15335A transformer, one required for each channel to use the balanced high...

    Altec 9440A gurus - could use some info on Control Board

    I picked up 2 9440A amps that were used as part of a sound distribution system and spent their lives in an enclosed rack so cosmetically they couldn't really look any better. I never even tried firing them up tho because after a quick examination there was an obvious problem on the control...

    Magnavox Amp 175 - Standalone amp - pics on threads are all gone

    I have a Magnavox 8802 I turned into a standalone amp even though I'm about as ignorant as they come about tube gear, I simply followed various threads that walked me right thru it. Really liking it, I picked up a AMP 175-77 I planned on doing the same thing with. Problem for me is most threads...

    Denon POA-2800 - where might these wires go

    .I picked up this amp from someone who says he got it this way but I tend to believe he did it and I was wondering if anyone could tell me where these wires might go ? They appear to be coming out of the Red-Black-Blue wires that are plugged into the amp board. The other side has been cut also...

    ToneAudio - We Review The Bose 901 Speakers

    I picked up 2 pair of the 901 Series II for what I thought was an awesome deal, great condition, no EQ, paid $175. It's my opinion that the Series I and Series II are the best sounding and those are the ones which was why once upon a time the 901's did need an enormous amount of power to sound...

    Apogee Centaur - loose ribbons

    I'm probably just not using the right search phrase but I have a pair of Apogee Centaur that I love but I blew out the ribbons on them. They still produce sound but they are really loose and twisted. I can't buy new ribbons at the moment but will in a few months because in my opinion, the $400...

    Mirage OM-7 - a too long "review"

    I have an addiction. Even though I still haven’t given my new to me Dahlquist DQ-12’s a proper tryout, perusing CL I saw a pair of Mirage OM-7 for sale that piqued my interest. I didn’t really know much about them but a quick google search gave me some reviews by Stereophile and Soundstage...

    why some spend $$$$$$$ on their systems

    I've said this same thing before, but this guy explains it in a much simpler way then I have. This is why some spend so much money on their systems, not just because they have more money then sense or because it is a status symbol to them or whatever some seem to believe. "It is within this...
