| There is no substitute for cubic inch or in this case surface area Good question. At face value 12 inch drivers will put out a bigger soundstage than 3 inch drivers. I find it depends on the listening room. Large tower speakers with multiple 8+ inch drivers will put out a large soundstage if properly designed ... | |
| Picking a power amp Agree with the comments about speakers 1st. Since you don’t want to travel to try them out there are several direct to consumer manufacturers that will ship speakers to you directly. You can buy, try for a set number of days and return for free.... | |
| Anyone else constantly curious about amps? Interesting timing with your post. I just setup my system at our summer place. I had removed all of the equipment except for the dipole tower speakers I got used so I could let them stay the winter without worrying. Acquired a more powerful used... | |

| Listening Room or Components or my ears? Agree with the advice on treating your room including adjusting the speakers toe-in and your listening position. Focals can sound a bit harsh or sibilant especially if you’re sensitive to sibilance. You may want to demo speakers with a different... | |
| Shakti Stone Haven’t seen a post about these in a while. Personal perception, preference and experience is such an interesting part of this hobby. Whether or not you believe it makes a difference, you’re right. Can a Shakti Stone double as a pet rock? It w... | |

| Mono recordings and my new respect for them Agree that listening to some mono recordings can be preferable to stereo. The Beatles Revolver reissue has both mono and stereo recordings of Rain and Paperback Writer. Have a listen and see which version you prefer. Enjoy! | |
| HiFi Rose 250A issues with app & setting up I would return the unit. You know it’s not your Wi-Fi or other equipment. The operating system is critical in my experience. I’ve had similar negative experiences with other brands although I haven’t used Rose equipment. I’ve had a positive ex... | |
| 2 Channel system sounds weak and lackluster A lot of good advice. You know it’s not your equipment because it sounded good to you before in another room, so it’s the room. Start with affordable treatments like the rug and wall hangings that you mentioned. Set the mood too. Low level ligh... | |
| Is it possible to find a good DAC for under $50, 000? I saw that review and similar comments on the video. The good thing is the price is only 47K so with a 50K budget you have 3K to upgrade the cables. I’m thinking of upgrading my $1300 Holo Audio Cyan 2 DAC to the Top line May DAC used which is $3... | |
| Why Does Expensive Gear Seems To Sound Better? Interesting reading on a cold snowy day in mid April! Takes me back to my early teens when my friends would argue over who was the fastest and best guitar player. I too love black faceplates and blue meters. Equipment has to sound good and look... | |
