Subwoofer recommendation
I am not an expert but am happy with the Rythmik sub.  I have a F12.  You could get a couple for $2500.  
How can you evaluate a system with highly processed music?
@cd318 & @onhwy61  Thanks.  That is helpful.  I am not a musician nor do I create or music - I am a consumer - and I often wonder - what is that instrument or is it a computer/synth or even does their voice really sound like that ?!.   Your c... 
How can you evaluate a system with highly processed music?
Taking a step back, how can we know the level of processing applied to music?   I often wonder when listening to a passage or song the amount of post processing and the source of the sound:  Voice, manipulated voice, computer, synth, instrument . ... 
Lumin U2 mini vs Mac laptop sound test
@johnah5  Thanks for posting John.   I use the Bluenode as a streamer and keep wondering about a high end streamer.  Even if others can hear the difference, I am not sure I can as I don't have golden ears and am getting a bit older.  If it was min... 
Advice on how to liquidate system
I would say wait awhile too.  I find many songs tell stories and I love those song even when the quality is not great.  Some are old or just not perfect clarity, but listening to the story is still fun.  I also listen to music on many different ty... 
How do you high pass your main speakers?
@tony1954   Why did you select 80Hz for the crossover?  Wouldn't lower be better to avoid the duplication as you say?   I ask because I am still adjusting my subs crossover frequency and have it closer, but still above, the roll off freq of my mai... 
Who turns center off when listening to music
For me, when I used a AVR receiver, I would play music with what ever setting I wanted that sounded the best.  There are not rules.   It was fun for live performances to use all 5 channels or at least 3.1.  Usually though, just 2.1.   Now that I a... 
Your experience of moving to two subs
I had two SVS subs but was not happy with the quality of the bass for music. I moved to one F12 and I feel the quality is better. However, like the OP, I sense its location in the room and others can too, even though I left one of the SVS subs on ... 
Newly discovered
All Them Witches is great.  I listen to 7 Horse - new to me.    Thanks.   Check out Fink  - Warm Shadow for example.  And Ghost Town by Darrin Nauendorf.        
How do I switch from Wi-Fi to Ethernet cables?
A good example of what @balooo2 o2 is referencing can be seen by going to a YouTube video on right clicking on the screen. This pops up a box and then click stats for nerds. This brings up a data box and one of the stats is buffer health. While we... 
How do I switch from Wi-Fi to Ethernet cables?
IMO, even if you pour a bunch of money in your wifi, it will not be as stable as a wired connection.  Follow @cleeds advice and get a bid.    
Ethernet opinions
Sorry about your Mom. Just use Blue Jean cables. You won’t tell a difference.    
Bluesound Node 2 producing distortion and dropouts
I don't get distortion but do get an occasional drop out.  Mine Node has a wired connection.  I find it is due to a needed upgrade or my device (new ipad or Node) needing a reboot or software restart, or just a function of my ISP.   We usually reb... 
What is the proper loudness for listening?
I like 70  to 85 dB.  Does not sound as good and feels pushed on me if it gets louder.    
Subwoofer - thoughts on Rythmic F12
Hi everyone. I received my F12 - looks great and well packed, and seemed very solid and well made. Unfortunately it was the wrong model. I ordered the PEQ3 but was sent the XLR3. What is crazy is the box was mislabeled so no way for the shipping w...
