Re: Tuning question

i can see where a test tone can help maybe get the balance right, but your only going to be able set it at rms signal voltage the problem with that is the peak dynamics will be set too high causing a great deal of clipping. there is a reason phoenix gold say's to set it up with a dynamic music passa...

Re: Cowon

ive hooked a multimedia player that plays mp3's up to an eclipse unit and the sound wasn't horrible as some people say. sure it's not as good as a digitally mastered cd but it wasnt bad sounding either, yea some mp3's recorded over and over again sound like crap but not all of them do. :)

you may need to take it to a speaker repair shop that guaranty's their work and can get the parts needed to take the speaker apart and put it back together again, because i looks like they speaker need's to come apart in order to fix it. :-s

Re: broken speaker tensil

if there is still enough of the lead sticking out from the spider then you may can solder it but when soldering these leads it's best when your first soldering attempt is successful otherwise it becomes harder to get the solder to stick and also you can futher damage the speaker. :|

so are they better than the white ones there is no hard and fast rule that you can say that this amp is better than that amp, they all sound good but with all the variations that the M and MS amps went through it's not possible to say an amp is better because of what color it is. for the most part ...

Re: broken speaker tensil

depending on if it is broken off at the speaker terminal or in the middle, if its broke off at the terminal sometimes you can resolder it with some extra flux and good solder and still have enough wire left for speaker movement.if it broke in the middle then it can be a bit more difficult to solder ...

as with any grey ms series amp they are the amps that where made earlier than the white ones, some of the grey 2125's have the speaker cables on one side and the wire's are smaller. :shaking:

ive actually taken the large main power amp fet out of a kenwood exelon tape player and put it into a clarion cd player that had a blown one in it. the kenwood was rated as having 50x4 while the clarion was like 25x4 the clarion seemed to have more power but it could have just been wishful thinking....

Re: zpa 0.5 or ms2250 ta

I think the TA would sound better. Dual mono and such a simple design is probably superior to a ZPA for SQ purposes. i can agree with that statement even though we don't agree on allot of things, but simply put i do listen to my 2125 more than my 0.3 im sure the same could be said for the 2250. :)
