| What Do You Think . . . and How Does It Work? i heard these speakers at AXPONA a few years ago. it was in the madisound room that sells these kits online. very incredible deal for the $230 for the kit less the PVC piping. in this case they used minidsp for the active crossovers. sound was... | |
| Harbeth 30.1 or legacy calibre while i prefer the sound of the harbeths, more natural and much more forgiving yet plenty detailed, the legacy calibres are different but quite excellent. the biggest difference is that you can put some serious wattage into them with biamping. i... | |
| Subwoofers - Front Firing or Down Firing - Which Sounds Best? i found that the direction the driver aims has an impact on the quality of the bass. front facing subs, in my room, projected and distributed the impactful, tight bass out into the listening area the best. some people even adjust the angle of th... | |
| Subwoofer Recommendation for Harbeth SHL5+ yes, thinking REL t series. never owned them but interested if the ability to blend easily with main speakers and bass quality might be worth the tradeoff of lacking deeper low end frequencies.... | |
| Need some Tube and Class A SS Suggestions The Rogue Audio RP-5 preamp (or better yet RP-7) and Stereo100 amplifier are a stunningly magical combination. | |
| Yet another Integrated vs Separates advice post I have the Rogue Audio RH-5 linestage / preamp and Stereo 100 power amp. I upgraded from the highly regarded Cronus Magnum integrated amp. The idea of separates as an upgrade mainly influenced dynamics and musical life like energy compared to th... | |
| SVS Subwoofer Isolation feet. Will I lose bass? I don't believe that demonstrating the reduction of acceleration of a speaker enclosure proves that it will improve the sound. First we have no indication of the amplitude of the vibration and acceleration. It could be inconsequential. Second w... | |
| SVS Subwoofer Isolation feet. Will I lose bass? my experience soft vs rigid is similar to the video. the best sound achieved on my carpet over concrete floor is when the spikes pierce the carpet and make contact with the solid floor, speakers and subwoofer. | |
| Best Speakers for a MAC M5200 if you must keep a narrow profile the Spendor A7 would be an excellent complementary match for the Mac.my ultimate suggestion are a set of Klipsch Forte iii which sounded spectacular on your amp. | |
| Which is better for a DBA (Swarm); powered subs or unpowered? Hi cheeg, let me relay my subwoofer experience to you and a recommendation to use your $1K wisely. I have successfully and seamlessly tuned subwoofers in my car and home systems. I started out with one decent sub at home and it worked really well... | |
| Advice on setting VTA setting the headshell level is a great baseline starting point since most cartridges are designed to sound their best at that position. i use a small bubble level on top of the flat part of the headshell while the stylus is in the groove. make s... | |
| Short List of Amps I prefer over the Pass Labs XA25 or INT 25 @riaa. no padded cell here. rogue products are highly rated by stereophile currently class A and anything but garbage. my tube pre amp and tube power amp has that elusive combination of dynamics, high output, huge soundstage, transparency and worl... | |
| Short List of Amps I prefer over the Pass Labs XA25 or INT 25 tried to listen to a pass amp at last AXPONA. unfortunately their display was static and visual only. most unusual at an audio show and highly disappointing. i see a lot of them listed for sale, dis-proportionately so. compared to the bigger ... | |
| Chicago-area dealer recommendation Decibel Audio in Chicago. They are the best hands down. Super fair trade in allowance and pricing. | |
| Thinking of buying a pair of Splendor D7.2... i had the D7s for a while and they sounded excellent being driven with the refined, powerful output of a Rogue Audio Cronus Magnum II. The latest version III just came out and people love them. |
