    683's on an RTA

    Hello fellow B&W fans!! SO on my day off I got bored and wanted to look at the difference between a few things. I will first off apologize for the crappy pics, but you'll get the idea.

    About a month or less ago I bought a Behinger DEQ2496 ultra curve from Audiogon. The person I got it from didn't like the large amount of stuff this thing does so he sold it. I also bought the matching calibration mic and cord.

    This pic is the 683's with no adjustment on the EQ



    683's after the auto EQ w/room correction


    The one peak and the little dip I can't get rid of with out hammering whats around them.

    683's with auto EQ w/room correction and my sub turned on


    I turned the sub x-over down to about 35hz and then started turn the gain up until what you see in the pic. You can tell it's a 10" driver by the wayit rolls off at 20hz

    This is what the GEQ looks like after running the auto EQ function



    Here's the unit itself




    I did the 683 testing at a 75db level and the sub I just brought up to what I thought would work
    Magnepan,ARC,VTL,Transparent Audio ;x(

    "The term "audiophile" means essentially nothing -- it's a self-anointed status that entails no credentials, qualifications or certifications. It means "hobbyist," nothing more, and anyone can lay claim to it. Ironically, I've come to recognize that "audiophiles" represent a group that will believe almost anything"

    Best CENTER for 683s?
    by Randell
    I just bought a pair of 683s, which I'm loving. However, I noticed that my existing center (Athena AS-C1.2) is not really up to par. Here is the current center:

    I find that the Athena sounds very directional. Like the sound is obviously coming from...

    Bought my first DVD-A albums!
    by Chris D
    Well, I've reached a new level of craziness. I just bought my first three DVD-A albums, but still don't own a DVD-A or SACD player. (sigh) By signing up for Silverline Records' newsletter, they sent me a free DVD-A sampler, and a Best Buy coupon. You could get $2 off Silverline DVD-A albums, up to a...

    How long for new 683s to burn in?
    by SteelyTom
    I'm curious if anyone has any thoughts on whether there is a burn-in period to begin with for a new pair of 683s, and if so: (1) how long does it take; (2) will a perceptible change in sound quality result after burning-in takes place, and (2) should I baby these guys until the burn-in period is over...
