Holy SLAMitude, Cremona's do have Bass
I decided enough babying my 501's and decided to turn the pre amp over 37 and yes I also turned the bass control on the C220 up a tad to 2 o'clock. I know some purist will say that I am adding distortion but you know what it sounds great
I knew they were great for classical and Jazz.... but they are also really great rock n roll speakers. |

The lesson here is this: let your Mac amp breathe deeply for best effect. |

David.......Never above 37......you've got to be kidding. Turn that C220 up to about 58 or 60, leave the tone controls flat, and see what she sounds like. Stop pussy footing around. Get down!

The filaments in the light bulbs that are in the ceiling are vibrating. I am going to replace them with the flourescent ones and hope that cures the problem. |

Another thing to consider is most fluorescent bulbs have mercury and other harmful chemicals inside the lamp. When they ultimately find there way to a landfill, fluorescent lamps are big polluters. Fluorescent is not as Green as manufacturers would have you believe.

At Home Depot I read the carton which says they are not supposed to be used with dimmers. The majority of the down lights are on dimmers even though they are seldom used, so I guess it is a no go. At about $14 a piece that saved me a chunk of change. |
