Ok, so on another forum I frequent, a fellow is selling all his quite expensive and impressive gear. Short story is, I got a set of $500 Fadel Art interconnects from him for a steal. Now, having NO experience with that kind of expensive item, I am not sure what to listen for after installing...

I think I have determined that most of my harshness is coming from my dvr. My dvd's sound ok in a HT set up. I am going to look up the DSP-A1 and see what that is...

Ok, I give. What is that?

How come we are tilting our speakers when they are not manufactured straight up?

I'd like to see a new center channel that uses an electrostatic panel but is shorter from side-to-side than some of past offerings. More panel in a smaller unit.

Jonfo, I didn't mean 3 hours one way...still...you and I both know how we feel doing that much driving. I feel like the guy in the commerical in the 80's..."Time to make the donuts."

Nielson, Stereo Gear Model #s You can probably see the quality level/price points of my gear from this. Sanyo PLC-XU30 projector (This is my television.) Martin Logan Aerius i electrostatic loudspeakers/birewire/new panels in Feb. 2008 Yamaha RX-V995 digital receiver now ONLY using preamp...

Thank you Rich, for being my voice of reason. I was about to plunk down. Realistically, what I should do is wait for the pre-processor to come out that matches this new amp I purchased. Will be months until its released, so I will have some waiting to do. Tks for the input.

Thanks guys. I am listening to you. Let me take this on a different angle for a minute. I guess my receiver has only 20-bit 48 khz DACs. What if I got a new receiver with 24 bit 96khz DACs or one with Burr-Brown 192kHz/24-bit DACs used in all channels. Do you think this would help, using...

See, I knew I'd get in trouble for that one!

I don't have a room correction mode on my particular unit. Didn't need it, anyway before the panel upgrade. Always ran everything flat. But, you have a point with the treble control. I grew up with the notion that adjusting that control would be heresey. :o

Well, looks like I will send 'em in and see whats what. I have been sitting on my RMA, cause I just thought it couldn't be anything with the speakers/internals.

Yes, they should be broken in. Replaced in Feb. Jim Powers said he'd check the electronics, if I would send them in. Haven't done that yet. May end up doing that next...hate to totally lose my system for a few weeks. That is what is keeping me from sending the electronics in. I looked inside...

Good Morning. Ok, so I've been dealing with this harshness/brightness issue after replacing my Aerius I panels with new ones. The forum has suggested: A. The new panels are more revealing of my sound sources and that B. I am hearing the true SQ of my Yamaha receiver. Over the past 4...

Mine have been set much like User122 above for 8 years. A note: I've had my speakers toed using the "listen to the inner third of the panel" via the flashlight technique etc. I was looking at the CLX manual and they have included a flashlight diagram in the manual. However, the light...

vertical azimuth close to perpendicular Can you describe this differently. Not sure I understand your description. Are you meaning the panels are straight and not slanted toward the rear wall?

I spent a great deal of my 4th doing critical listening and "cranking" my system with my new amplifier (Emotiva). Happily, I didn't break anything but did push my setup quite a bit. (to the point of sound stage collapse etc.) Although I spent a good deal of time doing speaker setup years...

Ok, thanks. I'll watch out for rattling. I'm pushing them hard today and don't want to hurt the speaker. Thks.

I have never heard my speakers distort before in the 8 years I've run them. Probably because I have never overdriven them. However, I just added an outboard amplifer to my setup and am tempted to crank it up more than in the past. What would I need to listen for if I am over driving them? I...

I went the Emotiva Lpa-1 route. It is on my porch right now, so I will mess with it when I get home. Dipping toe into separates, so I will use my Yamaha receiver as a preamp to this new amp to power my Aerius I with new panels. And see what happens.
