Thanks for the advice . Unfortunately it is very hard to loan a tube amp here from a dealer...
Understand . But the dealer here does not loan the amp .:(
Can you recommend some nice tube amps other than mcintosh to match with the mac tube pre?
I am already satisfied with the HT sound so do not want to mess with it anymore :p
Now just want to concentrate on the stereo part . At the same time , learning from you guys . :)
I...
I get what you mean but for HT , I need timbre matching espcially on the L,C,R speakers . If I change the tone on fronts only leaving center as usual , the timbre will not match unless I bi-amp the...
Thanks. Not quite comfortable on shorting the input capacitor as I still need the speakers on HT duty using just the MC501s. Think I better save more money to get two MC275 and mono it instead :o:
Thanks . Need to study the Array 1400 bi amp tech library. Hope I can understand :o:

I also have a Denon AVP A1UD pre/pro . Think can use this as external crossover , right :confused:
But still dislike the idea of having 2 volumn controls , 1 on Mcintosh c220 pre and 1 on Denon .
...
Am using diffusors and foams on ceiling now . Diffusors covered 3/4 area and foams is 1/4 on the front ceiling.
Still not sure if I want to go for active crossover :confused:
Thanks all bros on your suggestions . I actually found out the problem lies on the floor treatment .
I always use a thick carpet and just concentrating on the walls and ceilings treatment. Tried...
I am still using the original spikes . I bought a marble and below the marble with auralex high density foams . Around 2.5 inches raised .
What do you mean by 5deg from horizontal? Is it like...
Thanks Tim . Seems like I need to save more for dual MC2102 or MC2301 monoblocks :(
Not sure if the Rogue Audio zeus tube amp is a good match to my Mc C220 pre and my CD player .... :o:
Think I will have to buy a more powerful tube amp to control both horn and bass if want to try a tube amp. Is the Mcintosh MC2102(100W/channel) enough for the Array 1400?
Tried different taps , 8ohms , 4ohms , 8 for horn and 4 for bass , 4 for horn and 8 for bass.
Both 8 ohms have bigger soundstage and more dynamics . Both 4ohms narrow the soundstage but more warm...
Thanks , I will measure myself and check the 8-10khz area :)
Did not verify the results but home theater sounds pretty nice to me :D
Good recordings sounds good but the those sounds I like is those with super highs on female vocals :( .. So need to find...
Thanks for the advice but I do not like to engage EQ on speakers except super deep bass from subwoofer which is not practical to tame using comercial bass traps . I still prefer to use foams and...
As mentioned , my room is already fully treated with lot of foams,fiberglass,rockwool,bass traps and etc..... I have tested by changing foams to diffusors or vice versa but that did not help to tame...
I am using the Mcintosh C220 tube pre . I have 2 CD players , one tube and one solid state . The solid state sounds less harsh and bright than the tube CD player. Tube cdp is Raysonic CD128 and the...
Hi Tim,my room is fully treated . Ceiling, walls , floors has been treated with acoustic foams(ASC panels,Auralex bass traps and foam panels,ecophon panels + DIY diffusors) . It just sounds harsh and...
Hi Tim , thanks. Not going for active bi amp at the moment . Passive will do . :D
Just want to smooth out the highs on the Array 1400 when listening to female vocals . Maybe my room is too small...
Dear friends , I have a pair of Mcintosh MC501s and the Array 1400 speakers . I am thinking of adding a MC275 MKV just for the horn module and bass running by 501s . Will there be any ill effect ?...
Done :D
The front portion of the horn is held to the rear section by push pins similar to a speaker grill.
Lay the horn on a table face down and pull back portion away from front portion....
Thanks . This is also my main concern :crying: By looking at the driver , I understand the 4 bolts but not sure if there is any latch that I need to be careful if force to open horn back shell :(
My 435AI-1 driver on one of the Array 1400 has some sort of distortion . The dealer is kind enough to provide me a new driver but I need to swap myself . As such , do anyone has the instruction...
