| 12 inch subwoofer overkill for desktop setup? recording studios often use large subwoofers. if you feel the sub bass lacking after you have done your best for good integration there is no harm in getting a larger one. | |
| Does a DAC need a large/strong power supply? Audio lovers need to realize that a DAC is not just a digital to analog converter. It also must amplify the analog signal to a reference output voltage making it useable to the preamp, integrated amp or power amp in some cases. The analog ampl... | |
| Are Expensive Balanced Interconnects Necessary? Depends on what you mean by expensive. Having a balanced preamp to amp as well as two balanced sources the differences between cables is nearly identical to the differences in sound for single ended cables. I tried basic balanced cables inclu... | |
| SPENDOR SP100R2 vs QLN PRESTIGE 3 I heard the QLn recently and was underwhelmed. Paired with a dark amplifier the sound was opaque and dull. I might have liked them paired with a more neutral amp but doubtful. Spendors all the way. | |
| Pass Labs INT-25 Integrated amp paired with Harbeth 30.2 XD speakers a rogue audio cronus magnum is an excellent sounding amp and matches well with the Harbeths. plenty of power and a smooth, clear 3D sound that belies its price. | |
| Tube Recommendations Please there are 50 million threads available on quality tubes for a given tube spec. search and read them. e.g. "best 12AX7". personally I use NOS for small signal tubes, they sound the best. make a selection, buy from a reputable dealer and try... | |

| Subwoofers and Crossovers. Yes, thank you. I have learned a lot in my journey! Some speakers work well with the right subs, some do not, and ultimately if you value speed, dynamics and lightening burst timing no subs are best. Not everyone values that however. Go... | |
| Best "Budget" / "bang for my buck" 2-channel amp and speakers can I get new? A Rogue Audio Cronus Magnum III and a pair of Harbeth C7ES XD with 2 REL T9x subs can sound as good as anything. Think smooth, atmospheric, natural and a huge sound stage. | |
| Subwoofers and Crossovers. such a crime to high pass the Spendors but I do hope it works out for you. difficult for any sub to keep up with them. | |
| Why do so many people have problems with bass? the number one reason for problem bass that i see in people’s systems is caused by non ideal speaker and listener positions. speakers and ears too close to walls or large surfaces. speakers too close to each other. stand mount speakers on poor ... | |
| Subwoofers and Crossovers. The Spendor D7.2 are different animals with respect to subwoofer integration. Their quasi transmission line bottom firing port extends bass to 25Hz. When attempting to add 3 sets of subs to them without high pass filtering the main speakers, the... | |
| Adding a sub. - can i start with one? one good sub 80% there two good subs 90% there no subs 100% | |
| Kef R-3 owner questions boojay? | |
