I've got the Behr DCX and DEQ 2496 and they're damned clean. I'm lookin at the Parts Express catalog right now. What should I get? What do you need? I'll part out the stupid monoblocks, Audiogonize the Clayton and throw the money at speakers and a DAC. What should I get? I've long thought about Maggies, though dipoles don't work in our living room too well. Last really neat system I heard used a bunch of Behringer B2031A for the upper range, and 4 units of this 15" subwoofer, floor mounted, for the bass: https://ssl.perfora.net/www.ficaraud...iew.shopscript They were driven by the 4 EP2500s. DCX 2496 crossovers were used to cross them over to the B2031A array. I need a stinking DAC. I had a Benchmark DAC1 but thought it was too sterile, gobs of clarity though. But that was before my re-education. That thing's well made, like a little jewel. What's wrong with using the digital input on either the DCX or DEQ? It's in the signal path, regardless. |

Dave How is it you've avoided a usenet kook nomination? I think he's trolling. :-( Just a fun post Arny. I ordered these long before you guys set me straight. I'm looking at Behringer or QSC now. Dayton has new 100 w monoblocks for 140 bucks. I've read other sources saying the Behr is indeed a QSC clone. That test with the OTL1 and pioneer(?) receiver and others was incredible. I've got a pair of $130 Panasonic XR10 receivers that are about as good as anything I've had in house, including the Pass X250.5 and Ayre V5x. (A tad sterile though....ooops) |

A stereo amp. 100 watts is plenty. I've been using 50 watts with my 84 db speakers. (By the way, I'm not trooling in the below posts. The test described by Coppola is damning -- a receiver vs the OTL1. Amazing.) I'll part out the stupid monoblocks, Audiogonize the Clayton and throw the money at speakers and a DAC. What should I get? I've long thought about Maggies, though dipoles don't work in our living room too well. Last really neat system I heard used a bunch of Behringer B2031A for the upper range, and 4 units of this 15" subwoofer, floor mounted, for the bass: https://ssl.perfora.net/www.ficaraud...iew.shopscript They were driven by the 4 EP2500s. DCX 2496 crossovers were used to cross them over to the B2031A array. Mmmm..."Fi", not heard of these. Good units I assume. Subs reflex loaded? I've got 6 - TC sounds TC2+ 12s, and 2 - Avalanche 15s sitting in boxes. These were intended for various projects. I used the TC2+ in dipole subs, eqed and crossed with the Behringer pieces. Good results but only really useable with dipole speakers. They work with my DIY ESLs, but modulate the diaphragms like mad. I've thought of stereo subs - 2 boxes. each sealed with 2 - TC2+ per cabinet for compound loading. I've had very good luck with Isobarics in the past. Excellent weight and power even with cheapo drivers. Plenty of eq and watts may do it. I"m actually using our fireplace as a sub enclosure. It now has 2 - 10" Orion auto subs but is essentially a rumble machine. Sounds great on Saving Private Ryan, for example. Music --- forget it. I've thought about stuffing those AVA 15s in there. The fireplace and chimney are effectively 15' long. Combined with a healthy 40 hz room mode, you can guess the result. I've thought about stuffing the fireplace/chimney. Possible, not practical, but if made to work it could be a hell of a T-line. The total volume and config are such that it doesn't behave like an IB, which is what I was sort of hoping for. I need a stinking DAC. I had a Benchmark DAC1 but thought it was too sterile, gobs of clarity though. But that was before my re-education. That thing's well made, like a little jewel. What's wrong with using the digital input on either the DCX or DEQ? It's in the signal path, regardless. Oh boy ... several problems. I've done this. The DEQ has optical SPDIF inputs which I've used with a Sony DVD player. It works, but clips on some CDs -- probably most CDs. The Pro-sound vs consumer product interface schism. Also, even set to minimum levels, the output of the DEQ or DCX is excessive for home stereo amps with typical sensitivities. This can be cured with an attenuator. I THINK, without sonic degradation. The there is lack of remote control. I've got to have remote control for at least volume and balance. There are solutions for this. The possibly insurmountable problem is our Comcast service. The newer boxes spdif output is permanently locked to Dolby 5.1, which the Behr stuff won't accept, as you can imagine. This could be disabled on older models, providing PCM output. No longer. Motorola tells me the capability exists in the new boxes -- newest being the DCH 3416 (POS), but that Comcast has elected to make this option unaccessible to the home consumer. Who knows why? Comcast is a monster corporation. A good home theater processor would solve a bunch of problems. I've heard some very good pioneer receivers with excellent amps in them. Pricey for the nicer ones. Finally, the Delta Summit purchase is true. If I keep them, my audio budget is exhausted for the rest of my life. Unless spectacular, they'll probably end up being returned in which case I'm out ~ 400 bucks shipping. Not catastrophic, not insignificant. I constructed that post with mirth in mind. Not meant to be troolish. I've started reading Doug Self's material. Wow -- this guy has a fine mind, to say the least. Finally, regarding the Coppola test: There is one exercise I'd like to see included. Impractical for obvious reasons, but send each participant home with an OTL1 and the receiver. See which one they return after a year of living with both. We assume the appearance, heat output and power(energy) consumption of the OTL1 are not factors. I visited your site. Helpful with some speaker cable experiments I've been doing. Dave |

Oh boy ... several problems. I've done this. The DEQ has optical SPDIF inputs which I've used with a Sony DVD player. It works, but clips on some CDs -- probably most CDs. The Pro-sound vs consumer product interface schism. It is technically impossible for a digital input to clip that severely. Also, even set to minimum levels, the output of the DEQ or DCX is excessive for home stereo amps with typical sensitivities. This can be cured with an attenuator. I THINK, without sonic degradation. Pro audio power amps have about the same input sensitivity as consumer amps. This is one point where there is very little possibility of a serious mismatch. If anything, pro amps are more sensitive when driven by a balanced source. The there is lack of remote control. I've got to have remote control for at least volume and balance. There are solutions for this. One of which is to simpy put the volume control at the prime listening location. The possibly insurmountable problem is our Comcast service. The newer boxes spdif output is permanently locked to Dolby 5.1, which the Behr stuff won't accept, as you can imagine. Tht puts you in the position of needing a Dolby Digital decoder, regardless. A good home theater processor would solve a bunch of problems. I've heard some very good pioneer receivers with excellent amps in them. Pricey for the nicer ones. Last time a friend had that problem, he ended up with the Outlaw HT processor. |
