I just upgraded from Koss UR-40's (open ear) to Audio-Technica A900's (closed ear) which are loving spectacular. The only thing is that I'm missing a lot of bass presumably because it's closed ear. How can I get more bass in my A900's? And I tried messing with the equalizers that are embedded into iTunes/Winamp and they just sound gross. thehandtruck fucked around with this message at 20:13 on Apr 9, 2007 |

I hope it's OK to post this question again since it was unanswered, let me know if it's not.thehandtruck posted:I just upgraded from Koss UR-40's (open ear) to Audio-Technica A900's (closed ear) which are loving spectacular.

I had a ~10 year old speaker system composed of simply a CD/tape/FM receiver and two speakers. The receiver died and now I don't have any way to use the speakers. I was wondering if there is a way to somehow connect the speakers to my computer. I recognize they need to be powered somehow, so if it's any consolation I have one of those altec lansing IM7 portable speaker things which may or may not help at all. If it's not possible, can anyone recommend a cheap amp/receiver that will power the speakers?

Sniep posted:It'd help a lot if you described the speakers in question.. at least their rated nominal RMS wattage accepted and at what impedance? Aiwa Speaker System Model No. SX-NAV800 Music Power 80 Watts Impedence 6 Ohms

Sniep posted:Something like this should work just fine for those. Do you know of anything cheaper? I'm really not looking for quality in this instance. Also I heard there was a way to slice the speaker wires into auxiliary or RCA, is that an option?

I have an old KLH KL2400 (http://www.shopping.com/xPF-KL2400) receiver but no speakers to go with it. Can anyone recommend a pair of speakers for around $125 to $150 that will work with that receiver? edit: that site says 6 ohms impedance but for some reason the back of the receiver says 8 recommended. thehandtruck fucked around with this message at 19:28 on Aug 19, 2009 |

Doc Spratley posted:Looking for bookshelf speakers I assume? Wow thanks for the help. I think I'm going to go with the $129/pair Beta 20's even though the ELT25M mini monitors look REALLY nice. I'm assuming the Beta 20's have better sound quality than the p152s?

I have the KLH 2400 receiver but I've lost the remote that goes with it. Right before it was lost the bass and treble were both turned all the way up. So I called KLH and they said not 10 minute before I called they sold the last one and won't make any more, ever. They've had remotes for 15+ years and I'm 10 minutes late. (I know I can use the EQ in music programs but I use more than one and it would be a huge hassle.) Anyway so I was wondering if there are any other receiver remotes that are similar enough to work.

I moved my speakers around and I'm somewhat sure they sound different than before. I've heard that mixing up the + wire and - wire can make things sound different, is this true? (Checking is difficult because of where they're located so I'd rather not if it doesn't matter.) thehandtruck fucked around with this message at 06:44 on Feb 14, 2010 |

Suqit posted:Very true, when you reverse the polarity and the speakers are out of phase they can sound funky. It is subtle or really noticeable? Like overly bassy? Is there a test? thehandtruck fucked around with this message at 06:49 on Feb 14, 2010 |

My old KLH reciever finally stopped working and I need a new to power my two Infinity Beta 20 speakers. Can anyone recommend one? I'm guessing audio quality doesn't change depending on the receiver but also if it matters, I like it loud.

KozmoNaut posted:As long as you get something that's 50W RMS per channel or more, you should be able to play loud enough to severely damage your hearing before you run out of power, unless your speakers are horribly inefficient, which they aren't. Heck, even 25W can play plenty loud in non-huge rooms. I really need zero features whatsoever. All I'm going to do is plug in an RCA -> Aux cord from my computer to the receiver. Do you think craigslist is a safe bet?

eddiewalker posted:If you just want a 2 channel amp without all input switching and multichannel stuff in a receiver, I'd just get a simple 2-channel amp. That little amp can power 2 large bookshelf speakers? Pretty impressive. Is there any advantage to getting one of those over the other? And thanks for the help.

I'm looking for some bookshelf speakers. I had the infinity beta 20's for a few years and loved them but I just moved and am looking for something a tiny bit smaller. (Hope this is the right thread for recommendations, it was this or the first home audio thread)
