Hey Brian - You couldn't be more correct re: things changing. I think Darwin hit the nail on the head. What you don't understand, is another angle of loudspeaker manufacturing all together. Do you know where 80% of all loudspeakers, and loudspeaker parts are sourced? Did you know that one...

Brian - chill out man. Seriously. You don't even know half of the story. Unless you were one of the few that when thru every step of the process to develop, test, and build SVS products, and TC products - you're only speculating. I'm glad you've been 'keeping track' of TC Sounds, and of SVS...

Hi Vince, If you want to learn about comparing this M&K product, to this SVS product, then I think you're barking up the wrong tree. There just isn't enough objective data to support which one is 'best'. If you're interested in this acoustics stuff - the best way to learn is to pick up...

An old Sony 100x2 Dolby receiver. Has a nice EQ section in it. Model STA-D1090. Sure works great. I've got an Adcom GFA-555 amp, but haven't brought myself to hook it up yet. Should have to worries about the Maggies unloading or anything. You can really crank on them, as long as you've...

I've had my pair of MMG's for going on three years now, and I can't say enough how pleased I am with them. I run mine without a high pass filter, and I get rock solid bass response down to 40Hz. Try them without the filter, and see how much more gusto you get with them. I load mine approx...

I would steer clear of the Maggies. They are by no stretch of the imagination, 'rock and roll' speakers. They are very inefficient, very directional, and very picky. I would most definitely pick up something like a pair of Klipsch, or JBL speakers - something that is notorious for high SPLs...

Great new album by the now, one man band - Queens Of The Stone Age. definitely a step up in musicianship from their sophomore effort - Songs For The Deaf. Josh seems to be more comfortable with his voice, and he's actually writing and singing melodies. Still has that ever-so...

In no particular order.... 1. Radiohead - OK Computer 2. Hayden - Live at Convocation Hall 3. Smashing Pumpkins - Siamese Dream 4. The Beatles - Abbey Road 5. The Clash - Clash on Broadway 6. Pearl Jam - Yield 7. The Dismemberment Plan - Emergency & I 8. Sebadoh - Bakesale 9...

A Day In The Life - The Beatles. Formally introduced me to the Beatles when I was a kid. Still remains my favorite Beatles song. Paranoid Android - Radiohead. The most epic, and greatest recorded rock song of all time. IMHO. Mayonaise/Spaceboy - Smashing Pumpkins. These two...

iTunes is what creates, and pretty much completely controls the songs and playlists on iPod. You have two choices in how to control the playlists and songs on the iPod: Let iTunes automatically sync with the iPod, which will consequently copy all songs in your library, and copy all playlists...

I use the 40g iPod. Hardcore music guy, I guess. Love it to death. I use a pair of Koss KSC-50's. They've gotten GREAT reviews. Have outstanding bass response. Have 98% performance of what my Senn 590's do. Seriously. They're high enough imp. that the iPod has no problem driving them. For...

Yes, holding the Ctrl button, while clicking on the box, will uncheck the entire playlist. A better option, would be to just create a new playlist, just to burn. Go into your library, and highlight what tracks you want to burn (be sure to hold the Ctrl button while you choose your tracks...

I recommend you place the woofer as close as possible to the listening position. This solves problems with excess amplitude (volume), but also increases tactile conduction - so the whole 'experience' of bass is heightened. ***Remember, the lower in frequency, humans have less sensitivity...

By having multiple vents in your enclosure, each with a 'different tuning', the system will sum all of the vents, and you'll end up with a summed vent resonance. If you're thinking of having 4 different vents, each at a different length, for a different tuning - it won't work. What...

The User's Manual that came with your SVS has a great tutorial on how to properly set up, and dial in your sub. Pick up a $28 Radio Shack SPL meter, read the manual, and you're in business. -SDP

A tough decision you have, Robert. I've got a bit of experience with most of the SVS models, as well as the Velodyne models. In terms of output, in any scenerio, the SVS will take the cake. SVS's drivers have roughly 1/3 more usable excursion, as well as the added benefit of large...

The Sunfire unit is a great choice where a small footprint is needed. The SVS is better suited where maximum output, and low frequency extension is desired - with no regard to space constraints. Both wonderfully engineered units, but comparing these two, is much like comparing apples...

Hello. I've been quite interested in the $550 'factory direct' price that Magnepan has on their MMG speakers. Was wondering if any of you have had any personal experience with the MMG's? I work for an audio engineering firm ( www.dlcdesignaudio.com 'the DUMAX people' ), and we have a...
