My friends, I have returned from hell. A hell of my own making - of endless tangled cables and crawling behind cabinets, where the soundtrack is...
Preamp is an Emotiva XSP-1 (I always have to google this - why would you make both an XSP-1 and XPS-1). That's a really good point, I warmed them...
Good suggestion - I did play with my speaker position a while back and while toe in actually didn't seem to do _that_ much, it did improve the...
So quick first impressions of mono vs stereo Aegir: The TL;DR seems to be as expected - you trade off on bass vs "sweetness". The bass is much...
That makes sense, I was generally thinking about the imbalance between "Left" and "Right" channels in that scenario since the channel driving the...
Second Aegir just got put in the mail! A couple other things I thought of today while I was musing on setting it up: Is there any issue with...
You say that, but I just put an order in for a second Aegir. I'll post impressions (going to try both vertically biamped and bridged) when it gets...
Oh, I also tried the pocket doors open vs closed - you get an extra 3-5 dB boost by closing the doors in exchange for some pretty harsh...
Ok, so I actually did it - that was a fun experiment! Setup was my Pro-ject debut 2 carbon direct into my Emotiva XSP-1's phono stage, both sub...
Ah, when I mentioned 80w that's power draw at the mains - I'm assuming with the class A(ish) Aegir you're losing a lot since it's so inefficient,...
I hadn't even thought about that aspect. My understanding is you need to gain match the Vidar to the Aegir by sticking a passive pre on the line...
Oh man, I've thought of quad monos before (as a thought exercise!) but not this insanity, that's even better! I think you'd still have to gain...
So this could be way off base but my mental model was that you get 2x20w to each speaker with vertical biamping. So instead of 20w split between...
Even better, I have wooden pocket doors. I'll pull them out tonight and see how that works, but I'd honestly greatly prefer to leave them open,...
Paradigm 85f's. Claimed 93 dB sensitivity, and while that's probably optimistic, it's close. There's some impedance dips in the bass (this chart...
