OMG, just removed my speaker grills and the sound just opened up to a new level!
I found that my speakers sounded much more open and had a far better sound stage after I took them out of their shipping cartons.Wish I had done this six months ago.The high end detail now is amazing. 
Bob Dylan - "Murder Most Foul"
The first half of the song sounded a lot more focused to me than the second half.My thought is that he had an idea for a song but didn't really know where he wanted to go with it so he decided to play with it during a studio rehearsal. The second ... 
Tone controls -- assuming you're ok with them, when would you try them?
At what point do you go for tone controls? When you don't like what you are hearing.As it has been said there are no laws that dictate how you have to listen to music. You are not going to be arrested, tortured, killed or thrown in jail  for using... 
Are big subwoofers viable for 2 channel music?
@noble100 @big_greg Just like you, I'm most surprised by the extremely high crossover frequency of 120 Hz, which is generally considered upper bass, is well above the 80 Hz threshold at which bass tones become localizable. Most individuals should... 
Are big subwoofers viable for 2 channel music?
+1 millercabon+1 big_greg+1 erik_squiresYes big sub woofers are viable for 2 channel music.I am also of the belief that quantity of subs is more important than which brand of sub. I believe any decent brand will work well.Currently in my system I ... 
Are big subwoofers viable for 2 channel music?
@tyrayThe room size pot appears to be a low frequency attenuation filter with 0 attenuation when set to large room and maximum attenuation when set to small room. I do not know if the pot adjusts the slope of the attenuation, the frequency where t... 
Are big subwoofers viable for 2 channel music?
Hi tyray,There’s just one caveat, My subs do not have phase (switchable or continuously variable). My PSA subs have 2 pots for:Time Delay from 0ms to 16ms andRoom Size from small to largeIn your case the time delay pot is your phase control.I do n... 
Subwoofer insight.
Hi Ric,I believe what Mr. ieales is trying to tell you is that REL subs are more difficult to integrate into a system than other brands of subs because they do not have variable phase adjustability. Phase in this case basically means that the outp... 
Question about Tone Controls + Equalizers
Tone controls are just another tool in the arsenal that is available to be used if you so desire.You could use the built in tone controls of your amp and the Loki at the same time if you want to, but assuming that the built in tone controls are ju... 
These seem a bit pricey $$$

Pro-Ject Debut Carbon DC with Ortofon 2M Red Cartridge: BASS sounds 'muddy' The Reason?
Some tracks sound good and others not so much.This makes me think that the issue is the source material itself unless as was stated the bad tracks are always at the beginning or the end or in the middle of the record which would then indicate a se... 
Is there a such too much power for speakers?
+1 @cakyol +1 @mijostyn If I remember correctly for every 3db increase in volume you will need to double your amplifier output power. So with 91db efficient speakers you should be able to get up to 106db peaks with your current amplifier.As a poin...
