SQ vs. Music
To me they are virtually inseparable. The music will be the first thing that catches my attention but poor SQ can draw my attention to the wrong place and change the feel of the song or become a distraction to the song. To me SQ is like looking at... 
Paying with a cashiers check? Need advice!
Have you looked into Escrow.com?A true escrow company will protect both the buyer and the seller better than PayPal ever will.If the seller is willing to use an escrow company you are good to go. 
Embarrassed....Audio furniture help
A possible solution maybe is to have custom speaker stands built by a local cabinet builder, possibly with two bases. One base that would sit on the credenza, placing the speakers at the correct level and a second taller base that could be placed ... 
DEBRA / SWARM DSP?
If you have direct access to your pre-amps outputs, you would ideally connect your pre-amp outputs to the minidsp inputs. You would then connect two of the minidsp outputs to your main amp and the other two outputs to the Dayton amps using a “Y” c... 
Suggest one obsure album we all should hear
I wouldn’t say these are obscure but could be interesting if you are somewhat adventurous. The Cramps - Bad Music for Bad People (spooky psychobilly) Big Black - Atomizer (aggressive, dark, shadowy) Orbital - Middle of Nowhere (aggressive, semi-co...

Subwoofer xover settings for KEF LS50W (orig model)
Set the low and high pass filters the same then tweak to your taste. 
A stupid question for which there's no sensible answer.
Secondly, I like the way my system sounds,This is all that matters. It doesn't matter if you have heard anyone else's system or if your ears are untrained or not sophisticated. It doesn't matter what anyone else thinks is good sound either. If you...

I’m still wondering if a very complex room could be a good room, audio wise.It absolutely can as long as you are willing to put in the work to make it so.The goal doesn't have to be perfection.What are you hearing now that you don't like? 
A stupid question for which there's no sensible answer.
I agree with Mahgister. The room is definitely the weakest part of the system, if you want to call it a part,Not only is the room a part of the system, it’s the biggest player in the system. Your room will affect the sound of your system more than... 
Universal disc players
@jafant Thanks for asking.I was intrigued by the Ayre DX-5 DSD mostly because of the company's design philosophy. I searched the net looking for a used one. I passed on the one on USAM that had been for sale for a couple of years because I thought... 
SVS vs REL and experiences with both: your comments and preferences...
I have a SVS SB4000 and a REL S5 SHO in my system as well as a Rythmik F12SE. Both the SVS and the REL have plenty of power and cycle nice and low. The biggest difference between them is in their reproduction of the musical envelope; Attack, Decay... 
Sub choice for Dynaudio Contour 1.1
I would choose either the SB2000 or 3000 depending on room size, what you listen to and at what volume level.If you absolutely have to have a REL, I would go with the i5. I would not consider the i7 at all. 
"Musical" subwoofers? Advice please on comparing JL subs
So here's a question that should have an actual answer: at what hz point does the average human ear start to discern music, timbre, nuance?Interesting question. In my opinion a single note is not music. To me music is a series of notes and rhythms... 
"Musical" subwoofers? Advice please on comparing JL subs
Hi Northman, Your assumptions are correct. The CR-1 will help make integration of the sub to your system much easier and the D.A.R.O. will make integration with your room much easier. As Eric says, there are other options out there that I believe ...
