| Bi amp and bias issue Bi-amping through the factory passive crossovers typically yields minimal improvements. Identical amps must be used with this configuration. To correctly use active crossovers the factory passive crossovers must be bypassed. Furthermore, whatever ... | |

| Do active speakers interest you? Also, let's talk directivity OP, We have been selling our Apollo series speakers for a little over two years now. They are active and fully DSP controlled. We chose to offer our speakers with and without amplifiers. We designed our speakers to be very amplifier friendly so th... | |
| How can I establish a reference level? Mike, There really is no direct correlation between the -dB reading on your equipment and the loudness (dB) at your listening position. The levels set during the recording process are all over the map. There are many factors along the audio chain ... | |
| How can I establish a reference level? Your approach is a complicated way to get to a simple answer and will likely not work out. Assuming your primary concern is protecting your ears, first look at what OSHA has adopted for guidelines. https://www.osha.gov/pls/oshaweb/owadisp.show_doc... | |
| This is DigDug's Wife; DigDug passed away. Need advice on selling sound absorbing panels I am sorry for your loss.The units in the photos are indeed made and sold by RealTraps.50-60% of the new price seem reasonable.They are very well engineered products. | |
| Sport Court as Listening Room? Seems to me that space has great potential as a listening room. Higher sensitivity speakers are always a good thing. If you use line source speakers, ceiling interaction will be minimal. You could use an acoustic cloud if you have ceiling interact... | |
| Absorb or Diffuse Behind Listening Position? Having the listening position against the back wall is not ideal. I assume the OP has no other possible listening position available or perhaps it's a multi-purpose room and there must be a compromise. With that listening position you definitely d... | |
| Need New 2 Channel System for under 25K The room being an office I assume room treatment is out. Our collective experience tells us that there is nothing less fatiguing than a well balanced sound with minimal room interference and phase anomalies. Decent speakers properly aligned (with ... | |
| Need New 2 Channel System for under 25K As a manufacture we make it a point to sample dozens of product every year. My motivation is to point people to excellent products and positive solutions. You should seek users opinions. If you misconstrued my suggestion as me trying to sell you s... | |
| Need New 2 Channel System for under 25K Considering the room integration challenges you have ahead, I suggest you consider starting off with a Trinnov Amethyst (about $10K retail) and adding powered speakers or monitors plus compact amps. This approach allows flexibility and future upgr... | |
| Absorb or Diffuse Behind Listening Position? The treatment of a sound room is not generic. Bass issues are largely determined by the room dimensions and size. Using bass traps (real bass traps) is almost always beneficial. Moving into the mid and high frequencies, the treatment often depends... | |
| What is ideal dimension size for a home listening room? My minimal experience with concave surfaces would suggest very diabolical. | |
| What is ideal dimension size for a home listening room? What’s a California corner?”ideal” is somewhat subjective and relevant to the objectives.Please share your experiences with non-parallel walls as used in a dedicated room. I’m always eager to learn. | |
| What is ideal dimension size for a home listening room? brownsfan, I am not aware of any room mode calculators or mathematical model for rooms with non-parallel walls. We started with a rectangle shape for a base line. Then we did some calcs and made some assumptions to come up with which walls to ... |
