    The official "Thank You To The Tolsky Family" thread!

    When I first heard of David's reluctance to have us over on Sunday because his theater was not finished, I expected to see paint splattered plywood floors, unprimed sheetrock, a bed sheet screen, speakers sitting on fruit crates and a projector carefully balanced on top of a step ladder. The...

    SVHS?

    Thanks Keith and Parker, I will probably get a satellite receiver with Tivo, but I still need a VCR. I have a small collection of tapes I'd like to watch again. Also, my ex-wife frequently asks me to record stuff for her (technofobia), and I am too nice to refuse:-)

    SVHS?

    My 10 year old JVC VCR died last weekend, so I need to get a new VCR. I am thinking of getting a SVHS machine for extra resolution. The last VCR was used mostly with a 31" monitor, the new one will be used with a 61" RPTV and a front projector. I don't own a camcoder, so editing facilities...

    How long will it take to "break in" my Mini Monitors?

    The break in information came from Ken Kantor of NHT fame. The mechanical parts of a speaker that need break in are the spider and the surround, the suspension system. It generally takes only a few cycles to get the speaker suspension to "loosen up", after that the changes are minor, if any...

    How long will it take to "break in" my Mini Monitors?

    According to a well respected speaker designer and manufacturer, it will take a few seconds to "break in" your speakers. However, it may take several weeks to "break in" your ears to the sound of the new speakers.

    My new sonosub!!

    Those end tables can sure make nice subwoofer enclosures. Here is my "end table", it's the one with a 15" aluminum cone driver http://www.surfnetusa.com/sho/BassPix/3-6.JPG ------------------ Best regards, Alan

    Why 12" drivers can't be musical in the 40-80hz?

    Why 12" drivers can't be musical in the 40-80hz?

    I have replaced a neat little 12 in. Infinity subwoofer (BU-2) with a dual 18 in. DIY monstrocity. Both are vented. The main speakers were Magnepans, by most accounts "a fast speaker", whatever that means. Well the 18 in. subwoofer integrated a lot better with the Magnepans and produces a...

    Possible to recreate the sound of Magnepan speakers with DIY?

    Well Steve, a great deal of Maggie magic has to do with diporal radiation and subsequent lessening of side wall reflections. Since you stated that you are trying to recreate Magnepan sound, I feel dipolar is a must. A monopolar line source can sound excellent, but it would not sound like a...

    Possible to recreate the sound of Magnepan speakers with DIY?

    Newforms are monopolar, Maggies are dipolar. Your best bet are BG planar drivers. More information here http://f24.parsimony.net/forum54306/ ------------------ Best regards, Alan

    Monitor and bass box, or monitor and sub for music/ht?

    Your current sub can handle anything below 80 Hz. So you need a speaker that will handle 80 Hz to 20 KHz. Most 6 1/2 in. and some 5 in. midwoofers can do that. I would go with a two way and your sub. A 10 or 2 8s are only useful if you plan on using your mains without a sub. But since...

    The BLACK HOLE Subwoofer

    "Wouldn't it be nice to have a 30Lx20Wx12H room, or perhaps a circular room .... " Yes Chris, then you can use your subs as tweeters and build some REAL subs. Anyone knows where to get the "Back to the Future" drivers? ------------------ Best regards, Alan
