Selling an individual ELAC Debut Reference DBR-62 bookshelf speaker to be used as a center channel speaker. It's the White Baffle with Oak Cabinet style unit. Also including an ELAC Sensible Speaker Cable that pairs nicely.
I have a pair of DBR62s I use in a stereo setup and have been...
I don't think I pushed them that hard. I was running some tests after setting up Dirac and pushed the volume higher on my SVS 3000 Micro. I heard some clipping/distrotion and cut the audio as quickly as I could. Sounds like I shouldn't be too concerned though.
Simple question here, if you do push your speakers or sub beyond their limits and hear distortion, how much damage have you actually done? Is it instantaneous or only if you play over prolonged periods?
I used an Onkyo nr7100 for Dirac and ran a 2.1 setup with it and absolutely loved the sound. Like OP, mostly listen to music but now adding more speakers for the times I watch cinema.
This is me too. I use youtube/bandcamp/soundcloud for new artists and youtubemusic for mainstream content. I have countless amount of purchased content that I basically never listen to. Streaming is just too convenient.
I think I'm going to look into this option! Otherwise I may tether a thin cable around the top of the floorstanders to the wall. I think that should be secure enough and wouldn't bother the speaker.
Thanks for the input. I'll save my money. When people go for proper overhead speakers, do they opt for angled ones or overhead ones that point straight down?
What is the conesus on wall-mounted speaker stands, or even a wall-mounted shelf that you can put a bookshelf speaker on? They would be out of the reach of children and not a threat of toppeling over, but would they impact sound quality?
I'll have to try it out and see. Thanks. You're right that anchoring speaker stands is probably a less destructive, simpler solution than trying to anchor a speaker
I've read about the horror stories of pokey fingers. Definitely keeping the grills on - I dread when the kids figure out the grills are magnetically attached :eek:
Good idea about maybe using furniture-to-wall security mounts on the stands, that could certainly provide some comfort.
I know a...
Are tower speakers generally considered safer than speaker stands when it comes to children? My kids have been around a pair of tower speakers before and I hadn't really been concerned about their safety. I'm looking at buying a pair of ELAC DFR52s. Alternatively, I could get some stands for my...
