| My swarm sub system is in The Absolute Sound !! 2 subs are in the rear of the room behind chars. Like I mentioned I going to do a little re-configuration. The room changes with the season as plants come in for the winter and we are adding pieces for decorating. Little give and take. The sweet s... | |
| My swarm sub system is in The Absolute Sound !! Just a pic of the subs as AudioKinesis received the Golden Ear award from Robert E. Greene. I am going to move a few subs around as I installed 8 inwall jacks to move them in different positions. The room is all prewired for a Dolby Atmos system ... | |
| My swarm sub system is in The Absolute Sound !! ‘Yes, room treatment for bass is ineffective. The best passive road to the best bass is an intelligently designed room ‘I tried to follow the Golden ratio when building out the room and knew treatments all over would not go over well, so the swar... | |
| My swarm sub system is in The Absolute Sound !! Thanks for the comments. Duke’s finisher does a beautiful job. They really are like furniture. I have had them up and running for a year and still tweaking. After installing the Townshend Podiums the bass of the Personas changed considerably ( for... | |
| Townshend Audio Podiums - current owners opinion on the merits of this product Yes. Essential. I would have started with the Podiums and worked backwards when putting my system together if I would have known. The Podiums will show the best from your whole system. No add on peripheral can match this Each component in your s... | |
| Paradigm Persona 3F vs 7F Just installed a pair of Townshend Podiums under the 5f’s. Amazing how good this speaker can sound. Total disappearing act. I built my room with audio in mind . It’s very quiet < 28db. The Personas are so transparent and delicate in the upper ... | |
| Townshend Audio Podiums: The Full Review Just installed the Podiums Taking the Persona 5f’s to a new level. For about 6% of the cost of the system sure gives a 15-20% boost. Love the ability to set the rake with a few twists of the knob. Everything is better. Will have to re tweak the... | |
| Replace Macbook into Oppo with Lumin T2 for streamer/DAC? Depends on the rest of your system. If your system has any brightness at all the T2 will be fatiguing over timeGreat player in the right system but you may have to work at it to get its best | |
| Audioquest Fog Lifters I like mine on the Siversmith Fideliums speaker wire. Ribbons so they don’t fit on typical elevators. Work perfect in this application. I hear an uptick in SQ. For less than 1% of system value I like them. | |
| Paradigm Persona 3F vs 7F I love my 5F’s with a swarm sub system in a 27x17x10 room. Odyssey Kismet reference monos give you all the power you need,200 watts but lots of current. I heard the 5f’s at Axpona with 1k Mac amp and they never strained in a banquet sized room. | |
| Townshend Audio Podiums: The Full Review Just ordered #2 podiums. My Persona 5f’s are now sitting on pretty darn good Combak Harmonix footers. I plan on using them with the podiums. Was the last thing on my mind but it’s been a good year for Realtors and life is short!! | |
| Former Cerious Technologies speaker cable users I went from the Matrix to Silversmith Fidelium. Works real well with my Persona 5f’s driven by Kismet reference monoblocks. The wire design of the Silversmith can be a pain to layout but the Audioquest Fog lifters do a nice job of keeping them el... | |
| New Cary DMS 700 Sorry I missed this. So 6,000 new vs 3,500 usedthe 700 does sound better. I would say 10-15%the 700 has a much better interface. But if you are using Roon it becomes a moot point. So if I was a Roon user and did not have a hi resolving system and ... | |
| Distributed Bass Array configuration I have been enjoying my custom swarm( it’s on AK main page). Looks a lot better than the pic. Dual amps in a stereo configI basically set it up in my 27x16x10 room just as recommended. So many adjustments and I am not versed in computer calibratio... | |
| All NEW Paradigm FOUNDER SERIES...Could they be Paradigm's best speakers yet ? My wife’s cousin just received his 100’s. He is running Prim Luna electronics. Early reports are good. He also has Persona 3F’s so he should be a good judge. |
