| Large Focal Speakers Shipping Service I am under the impression that a piano moving company might be an option, but I have never used one. | |
| SOUNDLAB ULTIMATE 545 Pinotnoir, either the MA-1 or the MA-2 would work well with your speakers. SoundLab has shown with both models, and my understanding is that, of the two, they more recently showed with the MA-1s at Rocky Mountain Audio Fest. By the way, congratula... | |
| SOUNDLAB ULTIMATE 545 I’ve been involved with SoundLabs since 1999 and in my experience Atma-Sphere amps are an especially good match with them. As a new dealer I was frustrated that SoundLab wasn’t giving me an amplifier recommendation. So I asked a different question... | |
| What is the most important component to consider while building a new system? Amp + speakers + room = a "system within a system". These three need to work together well. Not saying these are the most important individually, but imo their synergy is. Duke | |
| Distributed Bass Array configuration @scm asked, " When using the crawl method and picking the best spot for Sub #1 are you supposed to then power up Sub #1 while crawling for Sub #2`s best spot and so on with each sub thereafter....??" Yes. When doing the Crawl to set up a Swarm or ... | |

| New set up in asymmetrical room - speaker placement etc @millercarbon, THANK YOU for posting that link! I hadn’t seen it before and I REALLY LIKE Steve’s offset diagonal configuration. Duke | |
| New set up in asymmetrical room - speaker placement etc "Sorry, you lost me there..." Let's start with your current configuration. Imagine looking down on your room from above, so that it looks like a square (almost). The speakers are at the top of the square, with the bay window on one side, and ... | |
| New set up in asymmetrical room - speaker placement etc You might try a diagonal orientation, with the bay window along one of the rear walls rather than one of the front ones. This can angle the first sidewall reflections so that they miss the listening position. And it doesn't need to be a perfect ... | |
| Will line conditioner do anything for the other receptacle in a duplex? A Richard Gray’s Power Company will have its full effect when plugged into the other receptacle. Let me describe an unusual application of a Power Company: I was living in an old house that had several 120 volt window air conditioning units. The c... | |
| New speakers dilemma for vinyls... Heeelp! :))) I don’t know whether Zingali has anything in your price range, but they might offer a European competitor to the Volti Razz and Tekton DI. Duke | |
| Distributed Bass Array configuration There are circumstances under which a pure 80 Hz tone can be localized and circumstances under which it cannot. Outdoors or under anechoic conditions, yes. In a home-audio-sized listening room, very unlikely. This is because the reflections start ... | |
| Distributed Bass Array configuration My name has come up a few times in this thread. I don't really see how to participate without either taking a side in an emotionally-charged "us versus them" thing that I want no part of, or turning into a self-appointed thread nanny. Until I fi... | |
| If you own quality monitor speakers you want to read this new review @dbphd asked, " What’s quasi-anechoic mean?" Usually the term refers to loudspeaker frequency response measurements taken with a "gated" measurement system. This is a system which turns on the microphone long enough to capture the output from the ... |
