Hello, everyone. I am kinda new at this, i recently moved into college and I desided i was missing a key essential. A good stereo. I was planning go going with a floorstanding speakers and a fair priced Amp. I don't really have a need for a radio because my laptop has my entire music libiary and i can just play the spakers via that. I was looking for speakers that have a clean sound, but are also load. Of course, sounds qualty does mean something to me as well. I have been looking at a few sepakers from sony, polk and JBL. But i was hoping that maybe you guys could help me.

Proper subwoofer cable configuration

Cables
Submitted by itmanager on

I'm new to the stereo scene and need a little help with the proper config for subs. I have Polk RT2000p's for my mains which have built in amp'd subs. Both have line in and line out and standard wire connections. My Yamaha v659 has 1 sub out OR the use of the B front speakers for the sub. My guess for the correct config would be to run a male to 2 female splitter off the Yamaha and then connect lines to both sub in's. Is this any different than running 1 cable from the Yamaha sub out to the sub in of the first speaker and then a cable from that speakers sub out to the second sub's in?

"This will fix it!" Kimber Kable's Ray Kimber placed some acoustic baffles around the table on which sat my Apple TiBook. We were recording <A HREF="http://www.robert-silverman.com">Robert Silverman</A> performing one of Beethoven's masterworks for piano, the <I>Diabelli Variations</I>, Op.120, and I had been bothered by a faint whistle underlying the music. It turned out to be the sound of my laptop's fan, an unforeseen drawback of my decision to dispense with tape and record straight to hard drive for the August 2004 sessions. We had already had a problem with a slight slapback echo from the balcony of the Austad Auditorium at Weber State University in Utah, which Ray had fixed with drapes, and a problem with low-frequency rumble from airplanes overflying the college campus during one session had been solved by Ray phoning the air traffic control tower. However, even Ray couldn't deal with thunder, so that was the one session we decided to finish early.
