In the Thread: How to USE “Resonating Oops” in loudspeakers
Post Subject: You asked about my systemPosted by Winnie on: 12/3/2007
In this exalted company its probably not up to much but I've not heard anything else demo-ed that makes me want to change. Smile

Front end: Vista laptop with XXHighend software (best sounding bargain in Hi Fi). Fireface 400 external soundcard
DAC/Pre amp: (gulp) Tact 2.2X - some room correction but mainly used as low frequency cross over
Mid frequencies: Rolled cone Lowther DX4s in modded Hornet Hedlund horns powered by EAR 861 power amp
Low frequencies: Pair of BD15 15" drivers in DIY BD 'reference' cabinets powered by Sugden A21a amp
High frequencies: Fostex T90As tweeters. High pass capacitor to Lowthers.
Mains: PS Audio PPP
Cables: Audionote silver

Because of my preferences I listen nearfield. I have none of the normal Lowther issues with this system, but would just like a bit of 'space' 'ambiance' 'reality' together with the clear dynamic sound. Hence my looking at Podium Panels and my interest in oops

I need now to work out a way of getting the horns and panels to play together. I have no knowledge of electronic so will look for help perhaps in AA. There seems to choices

1. Somehow split the spdiff cables from the Tact preamp and feed to another amp and then to the Podiums.
2. Take a second set of speaker cables from the EAR main amp and somehow get it connected to the Podiums

Being a Luddite in this field I will not attempt anything yet till I get a better understanding of what to do. I do have a S&B TVC that could be called into play.

Sorry have strayed a bit off topic

Cheers
