RE: biwiring tannoy speakers + `normal` amp = ???

some more specs:

http://www.hilberink.nl/plaatjeshans/tannoy/tannoyss8.jpg

model 605

the back of my amp says "speakers 8~16"

if that helps?

Year: 1991-3
High Frequency: 0251
High Frequency Size: 25mm
Low Frequency: 1661
Low Frequency Size: 6.5"

RE: biwiring tannoy speakers + `normal` amp = ???

thanks for that nevi

i`m using just a very basic amp (no A&B)

i was doing as you said with leaving the bar down but there`s still too much bass :(

i wired the amp into just the HF to test and they`re working. no foam bungs to be found either

would impedance play a role in any of this? (showing my brains here...)

biwiring tannoy speakers + `normal` amp = ???

just picked up a lovely secondhand set of tannoy speakers with biwiring.
at the moment (waits til money and upgrade....) i`ll be putting them through a bog standard stero amp without biwiring facilities

what`s the best way to set it up?
on the speakers there`s a `plug` which slides down for normal wiring (so both the negatives and both the positives are linked together) but when i wire it up as i would have thought was normal the sound is muffled (too much bass)

and i`m hurting even more now from writing this!

any ideas?

s-video to scart black and white problem

just got an s-video to scart lead to connect my scan 2500 (which works :P ) to my tv (s video from dvd. scart into tv)

but the only signal i get is black and white :(
the tv can handle NTSC signals so that`s not the problem.

what am i doing wrong?

RE: Creative Extigy

but the extigy looks sooooo good! :D

i was looking forward to getting one. never mind, i guess i`ll just have to save money ;)

RE: Creative Extigy

cheers for that.

i`ve got the much despised Scan 2500 (mine works finr though) and according to the scan site it has "Dual Decoding : Dolby Digital (AC-3) & DTS decoding"

http://scan.co.uk/sc2500.htm

would that help? or am i just clutching at straws?

Creative Extigy

what do people reckon on this?

http://uk.europe.creative.com/products/product.asp?prod=301&page=1

i`d only use it for it`s standalone functions (ie. not as a soundcard), but is it worth the money? it looks pretty sexy and seems to have all the functions i`d need for a decent sound system (minus speakers of course)

RE: Brass Eye Special

it`s a tv series made by (among others) Chris Morris (the day today, on the hour, numerous radio shows) it was originally aired in 1996 (i think), then a `special` was shown last spring/summer.

it wasn`t nearly as good as the original 6 eps, but there was a MASSIVE hoo-ha in the media; especially in the >spits< Daily Mail. cos they allr eckoned it was endorsing paedophilia (sp)

VERY funny. highly recommended. got mine ordered. blah blah blah

RE: Need some help with new PC

dunno if this is any good to you.

but when my PC crashes, sometimes it won`t turn off if you just press the power button.
if you hold down the power button for 5-10 seconds or so it will eventually power off, so you won`t have to resort to switching it off at the wall

RE: scan sc-2500 dvd player owners read in

i`ve got a sc2500 too, but don`t suffer this problem (though i know there are plenty of 2500 owners who do)

sadly, i thinkn it`s just a case of blind luck if your player works straight out of the box!

try asking here:

http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Scan2500

which mp3/cd portable player?

can anyone recommend a decent sub-£100 portable mp3/cd player?

i`ve had my eye on this one:

http://web6.scan.co.uk/productinfo.asp?wpid=14917
the Napa DAV316 MP3/CD-DA Disc Player

is there anything better (and preferably in a tolerable colour)?

RE: DVD cases

i guess they`re the big pile of AOL cds which no-doubt mount up in every sorting office around the UK

RE: genisis+cd games console.should i chuck it?

i don`t think it`s worth that much now :(

i never had one as a child (damned poor parents), but i`d love to have one now (just for the sake of it really)

RE: Anyone here going to buy a UK GameCube?

i thought it was £170? but that`s just getting picky

i`ll probably be getting one in the summer or there abouts when there`s no work to do ;)

unless....

i can find one on interest free credit?

anyone seen this? a bit much to ask i know, but i`m cheap.

very cheap

RE: Has Alan Partridge been re-released on DVD yet?!?!

i fell into the same trap as you.

sadly, the canned laughter has always been there. though it is `live` laughter, but that doesn`t really make up for it

RE: Blank DVD cases ?

http://www.bigpockets.co.uk/ usually have some good deals. they deal in bulk mostly though

RE: EDtv for £3.39, City Slickers, Tango & Cash for less than £4.60

i bought a couple of mogwai cds from them about this time last year.

arrived within a few days and at a good price

RE: DVDS ON EBAY

i love ebay!

it basically gives me the option to get a dvd from play. decide i don`t like it, then sell it on with a few quid profit :D

my favourite ebay moments are when people advertise the BOX for something big (ie. Xbox) then it sells for £200-300

classic

RE: ATTENTION - SHOPPERS AT RINGOS LOOK IN PLEASE

phew!

close one there! i almost spent £50 there on tuesday! went for the slightlier risky ebay option instead, but that payed off a treat :)

RE: 24 on BBC2 last nite

on seeing the trailer for episode 2 again, i`ve come to the conclusion that the daughter was actually kidnapped and that them there criminals have *really* thought the assasination through

RE: twin peaks

yeah. i`ve picked up a copy of the pilot. vhs though :( from ebay. it`s in the post

RE: 24 on BBC2 last nite

i didn`t think the girls had been kidnapped?

i got the impression it was just `boys being boys` (ie. they go somewhere `special` in order to get into their knickers. again)

actually. maybe you`re right

RE: 24 on BBC2 last nite

yeah, the `dodgy` guy was chatting to the lass about his `photography`. hmmmmm suspicious...

then they have sex in the toilet. he falls asleep, she half-inchs his wallet then goes back, kills the air stewardess, blows up the plane :)

and it all kicked ass

twin peaks

i`m finally looking into getting the season1 box set. at the moment, it looks like i`ll be getting it on ebay or something (got scared by play when they threatened me with import taxes etc etc)

is there anywahere (reliable. of course) which i can get it from, at a good price without forking out taxes and the like?

also, does anyone know about a season2 box set?

also (again) did someone mention twin peaks on here the other day? i could have sworn they did, but there`s no trace.....

RE: Robo? Prime Directives?

is this the same thing hat was on itv on saturday afternoons?

if so, it`s not quite as bad as robocop 3. but that doesn`t make it great.
it had a running story line at least

RE: FREEEEEEEEEEEEEEE DVD FILM! Only pay postage!

is that a real doctor? or a sort of `doctor of luuuuuurve` ?
if you`re a real doctor, you shouldn`t be going to weatherspoons :(

but hey, i`m a student.
but don`t worry, i`m already filled with self-loathing :)

RE: DECISIONS, DECISIONS...

Open Your Eyes - amazing film. crap R2 (and R1 actually) extras. but who cares?
Planet of The Apes (2001) - top film. stupid amount of extras
Final Destination - semi-scary film. a couple of good `chiller` moments
Heartbreakers - don`t ask me about extras. but it`s better than the one`s below
Die Hard With A Vengeance: Special Edition - only going low in the list cos it`s VERY cut when compared to region 1 (would be no. 1 or 2 otherwise)
American Pie 2 - BOTTOM OF THE PILE. w*** w*** w***. not literally (if only. it might have saved the film)

RE: Question about Jay & Silent Bob Strike Back (R1) features

it`d better be! me not have DVD-ROM and am slowing working my way through all the extras. finished all the deleted scenes and the slightly embarrasing comedy central feature

RE: Question about Jay & Silent Bob Strike Back (R1) features

you won`t be able to view the DVD-ROM features (only on a computer)

but the rest you shouldn`t have any problems with.

can some one back me up? or prove me wrong?
