Why, one front/one back sub, a double distance?
Hi Pmcneil, you said "a response flat below 10 htz:;and there is no other way to get this at any price)."That is a great lowwww bass response, how did you measure this? And I would love to see a graph of it. My sub is flat to 12hz, I use the free ... 
Audiophiles are older than dirt
I told my wife that I wanted an I phone and she asked me why. I told her because you can use it as a compass! I must have watched too many spy films. And those big 1/24 scale cars on those tracks were the bomb, I remember saving all summer for a h...

What is wrong with negative feedback?
Hi Atmasphere, Thanks for the advice. I have several "system busters" Lps. Certainly Daphos is high on the list along with Carmen suite on RCA and a few others that have very big dynamics. I am curious as to your system, what does it consist of? T... 
What is wrong with negative feedback?
Atmasphere said "My system can play so loud that prolonged exposure can result in damage."I assume you mean damage to your ears, not your system. I agree 115db is too loud as we do not want to damage our ears. Also I think that for audiophiles in ...

What is wrong with negative feedback?
Atmosphere said "06-25-10: AtmasphereAcoustat6, yes, sometimes I do. Most music does not demand it but some does: The Verdi Requiem, on the Soria box set (RCA) is a good example of vinyl being put the limits, and stereos too. If you play the quiet...
