SONIC. said:Ortofon blue, into modified yaquin tube pre, into a marantz receiver, out to a 200wpc pro amp. It's a bit of a hodgepodge but I like it!
Eh they are usually all standing up nice, but I had just rifled through them trying to find that one lolirk miller said:Storing records like that makes me twitch.
SONIC. said:Still need to make some risers and the front grilles but they sound fantastic.
Concert level sound with the kick drum is so much fun.

Cool! You can put bluetack between the speakers so that the Allison Six's stay solid with the Vegas and don't shake around, not sure if it would hurt the finish though. Do you use the Vegas only for the bass? What amp is that and what is the vertically oriented component?

Good call on the blue tack, but believe it or not the Allisons don't move one bit. Can't say there isn't vibration I don't see. The Vegas aren't a great standalone, IMO, but the bass is outstanding. Conversely, the Allisons have a beautifully accurate and full range sound. The amp is a Kenwood KA-7100 and there's a little Pro-Ject tube pre-amp for the turntable. That vertical component is my internet, LOL.CrabsAndCylinders said:Cool!

Wired separately into A/B, so I can isolate the Vegas.SONIC. said:Beautiful! I like the pairing of the CV's with something a little cleaner. How do you have that wired?
One of my buddies in college had some big CV's. The sounded OK but man when you crank them the bass was phenomenal!

I had to look that up. Essentially, the only way I know to do it is for the tweeters, which on the Allisons is what is behind the screen facing the room. The woofers point up on the top plane of the speaker box facing the ceiling.CrabsAndCylinders said:Did you place the Allisons back in order to time-align them.
I have heard about the internet, must try it sometime.
