What hi fi show at Leela hotel

Yet the Amphion speakers bookshelves Helium 410 comes up again...now I think there is something special about them

The 'special' is the D & D
The Speaker is like any other - nothing extra ordinary.
It is the person behind it in India that makes it extra ordinary.
It was set up very well in a given room. Therefore it sounded like it did....

If I may be permitted to go OT - the Amphion is like any lady / girl that lives next door. It could be any person - not important.
However, if she is 'waxed' / groomed / styled / dressed up / make up in place [not much - not less] / given good 'stylish' clothes to wear, that same neighborhood girl / lady starts to look 'pretty' & the attention is on her.

The same thing happened to the Amphion.
It is a good speaker [the lady next door has to be a beautiful person to begin with - an ugly duckling cannot be transformed] has the potential - just that Mr. Jilla knows how to extract that potential - simple...

Good analogy. I agree the Helium is not a very pleasant site to look at..

any good speaker can sing if it has the space to breathe around it. And that includes the 410.

Having heard the 410 quite a few times - these are very good for the money - you wont have to end up breaking the bank to enjoy good sound in a moderately sized room.

a very similar speaker is the Dali Mentor Menuet.

Both are pocket rockets )

Unfortunately - most of us do not have enough space in our homes to give the speakers the space they need to come to their full capabilities.

100 % Correct.

Speaker from Rear Wall - Correct Position to get the in room bass 'sorted' & then 'enough space' from side walls to get a sense of 'space & air'
Finally work on the toe in [if needed] for focus & height.

But, give your speaker space.
It is like a Parachute - more the air - the more it opens & the slower it descends.
Less Air & it will collapse & you will fall to the ground faster.

Hence, give your speakers 3 feet at least [if not 5] from the rear wall & a minimum of 3 to 4 feet from the side wall & your speakers too will sing....
:yahoo: Minimum gap between tweeters is 8 feet to 12 feet [depending on size of the speaker] !

And HOW does Bhagwan do it following none of that?
Would love to get some lessons at the temple itself!

100 % Correct;

Therefore I state, my set up is not correct;
It is a 'compromise'
I live in a space deprived apartment.
I do not have any spare room - where I can follow my hobby.
Therefore I have broken a lot of rules from the audio rule book...


p.s. If you do visit Mumbai - do drop by & listen to the 'im-perfect' room & the 'compromised' audio...Most welcome...

Could anybody tell that how much power cut affects our audio system?

When I listen to my audio system and electricity goes in between, will it affect my components? will it affect sound quality?

Will it ruin my system? Till the date i faced powercut so many times but nothing happened.

Whenever light goes I switch of complete system before electricity comes due to sudden high voltage which could be expected some times.

any answers please.....should I take any preventive steps in future?

You are doing the "rightest" thing! No need to worry as long as you are diligently doing whatever you jotted down here.
