    Has Anyone Ever Built Their Own Speakers?

    I have built my own speakers many times maybe 20 pairs. The best ones I have ever made are the Troels Gravesen designed ones. I hate bright treble and with his designs you always get options for tweeter level, not only that but he takes so many things into consideration in the designs and is...

    I brought a Naim Mu-so on Monday

    I recently purchased a Naim Unitilite I use it for playing DVD and for the internet radio. I can also play my Blu Ray and TV through it so very universal. Like you it's the first Naim product I have purchased and I am delighted with the build quality and sound quality.

    Rega Elex R driving ATC SCM11 (new version)

    I seem to remember in the WHF review of the Naim Unitiqute which is only 40 watts per channel they drove all sorts of expensive speakers without any problem so I would think that that the Rega would be fine.

    Use a Subwoofer for Hifi?

    I do too and I'm sure many others do. Gives more slam/realism

    Add sub to hifi system

    Totally agree, its easy to spend money but not always the answer. Done it myself many times in the past.

    Add sub to hifi system

    No it will not damage the speakers at all if it did I would not have done it my self. Use some foam or T shirts anything soft will do

    Add sub to hifi system

    Yes blocking the ports will reduce boom and give a tighter bass. When I set up my subwoofer I blocked the ports on my speakers and then used a sealed sub which in addition to giving more bass gives cleaner bass. Sealed speakers always give the best non booty bass in my opinion.

    Add sub to hifi system

    Try blocking the ports on the speakers and see how you like the sound then. If you like the new sound but find there is not enough bass then get a subwoofer.

    Track for setting-up subwoofer

    Spent a lot of time setting up and have used various tones and a meter. I am quite sure the crossover is correct. When I measured without the sub connected and with it connected there is no increase at or above the crossover point. My main speakers go down low anyway and I think what it is...

    Track for setting-up subwoofer

    I find that I have to change the level on nearly every cd I play. On some there is too much bass and on others not enough.

    Nord Hypex Amps

    I have a pair of the Nord monoblocks and agree that they are great. I have tried all the different op amps and have found the Sonic Imagery to be the best. Of course others may prefer the Burson or Sparkos and a lot of this prefence comes down to what the rest of you set up is. As a matter of...
