Subwoofer with Revel Ultima Salons

Forums
Room Tuning & Acoustics
Submitted by rmm on

I have a pair of Revel Ultima Salons and a Gryphon Tabu Century Amp. For music I have been lent a REL Storm III. My room is 6m x 6m x 3m High. The Revels sound great but I need to wind the REL up to the 2 o'clock position (Hi Level) to hear/feel it. The REL has been wired in parallel on the speaker outs of the Gryphon. Do I need a Sub with a bigger driver to match the REVEL?

Paradigm Signature V2's have finally arrived

The Entry Level
Submitted by bluemark81 on

S2's and C3 finally came in. I will provide a review as soon as they are broken in.

Immediate audible difference is the V2's are not as efficient as the V1's so at the same volume level, the V2's do not play as loud. Appearance wise, like the V1's, they are a beautiful/classy looking speaker, although I almost prefer the look of the exposed tweeters on the V1's better, but like the fact that the V2's tweeter are covered making them less vulnerable. I prefer the look of the aluminum midrange/bass driver over the previous version, however, at a distance they look very similar.

Made in China

Submitted by mentalflycoon on

I have to agree with Sam Tellig on the "Made in China" thing. If it wasn't for the horrendous experience I had with Harmon Kardon's Chinese made receivers or Infinity's speakers I would never have upgraded to products like Vandersteen speakers or B&K amps which, obviously, are made in the U.S.A. So maybe the corner cutting communist audio is good for the high end. I will most likely never (willfully) buy anything audio that says "Made in China" again, which is pretty much the entirety of the mass market. Jeeze even "Made in Japan" isn't so bad anymore.

Magnepan MMG's - amping issues

Submitted by ToysNYC on

Ok,

First off, this is my first post. Second, "Hi".

I bought a pair of Magnepan MMG's about two years ago. I used to work at Stereo Exchange in NYC, so I had some gear that I hooked up. Here's what happened:

Marantz MA-22 monoblocs - Great little amps - very transparent but way underpowered

McCormack Micro Line and Power Drive (the older oblong shape) - beautiful but still underpowered

Pageant of the Transmundane

Jul 20, 2007

Now that we're perched upon the precipice of the <I>Simpson Movie</I> opening&mdash;at least a decade too late&mdash;I, by chance, I caught the Hullabalooza episode with the Smashing Pumpkins this week, the one where Homer becomes part of the "pageant of the transmundane," by being shot in the stomach with a cannonball.
