Left channel on my klipsch speakers just burnt out... anybody here got the knowledge or patience to walk me through potential fixes? Or someone who lives in NY/NJ area who would take cash to fix em? Klipsch help line was utterly useless. It's a pro media 2.1 system.

I recommended Mordaunt-Short to a friend a couple years ago. He got the floorstanding ones (which is usually preferable if you have the space) and loves 'em. There's often good deals. I got all my Wharfedale Evo speakers for a great price, much easier to find deals than for, say, B&Ws.

Some of the kit on those pages is just insane.

I heard about a guy who wanted the best possible isolation for his turntable. He built a concrete column for it to rest on that went from his basement up into his living room, the floor of which he'd cut a hole in for the column.

I don't know why he didn't just move his stereo into his basement and put the turntable on the floor, but I guess that wouldn't have been as much fun.

vroom vroom one is what i was talking about at first. that racing car set up looks like its about 4 feet from the chair. ansd is the chair against the other wall? and is a setup like that gonna sound like it should in a room the size of a large closet?

scott seward, Sunday, 25 November 2012 20:47 (eleven years ago) link

i mean i'm sure it will sound fine. but i have speakers set up between two rooms, one small room and one larger room. when i point the speakers into the larger room they sound way better. they open up.

vroom vroom is making my ears hurt just looking at it.

why do none of them have fancy walls? if you're going to spend that much you may as well cover the surfaces with some kind of optimally resonant material.

so after months of looking I finally settled on Tannoy M20s, made my order from ebay, got them today, quite poorly packaged and wet from rain soaking through the box. After letting them dry off I've found that the sound from one of the speakers is quite fuzzy and indistinct - any ideas what the problem is likely to be?

that happened to my earbuds after I got them wet.

i got very technical with the speaker by putting my ear next to it and it seems that there's no sound coming from the tweeter. is that a conceivable diy repair job, or a relatively cheap outsourced repair job, or am i boned?

Pretty depressing to see this thread re-emerge the day after I discover a suspicious buzz coming out of my Rega RS5's when playing anything with sub bass.

Not having much luck recently; moved into a new house late last year where I have, for the first time, a dedicated living room. Since then my turntable has been in to have it's needle changed and my amp went just before Xmas and needed to be sent back to Rega.

four years pass...

Thought this is worth a mention, the Andrew Jones designed Pioneer SP-FS52 speakers are available for a significant discount at $200 a pair until 1/4 at BuyDig. Jones moved on to German company ELAC, and there are deals on the Debut F5. I give a little history on Jones and some other cheapish gear recommendations.
