| Making speakers sound tonally similar with an equalizer I’ve owned many speakers and they all sound different. I would say very difficult or impossible. Maybe if the speakers are in the same line- cabinet materials, driver materials, crossover components, etc. otherwise too many variables. I suppose fr... | |
| The pope's rig? He must have a stack of 18's for his pipe organ collection. | |
| Speaker shootout question -- do you position the same or differently, depending? Just want to add that if people are overwhelmed with a large room, it's sometimes easier (and maybe even preferable in sound quality) to section the space and be closer to the speakers. I've heard many setups where I preferred my at home closer, m... | |
| Speaker shootout question -- do you position the same or differently, depending? In my experience different speakers with behave quite differently depending on placement to boundaries and distance to listing position (reflection points, nodes, etc.) The position of the drivers in the cabinet will give a wildly different prese... | |
| Seeking advice for speakers for my Family Room Great looking room. Budget a rug, fabrics, heavy blinds. Pull the speakers out a little if you can- get a sub. You are relatively nearfield so I wouldn't get too worried about reflection points. Do you have any slap echo in the room? That's a real... | |
| Paypal Changes for 2022 It seems like this is to help get a little more revenue from cottage type businesses, but will be another way the IRS can flag any one of us. This is just a quick search of the taxes we already pay... Air Transportation Taxes Biodiesel Fuel Ta... | |
| It’s all a matter of degree For me it's doing things within reason based on the room I'm in. In other words I'm not going to spend $X on cables when I don't have equal reflection points, but I do believe in cables). You can put unlimited resources into a system but if your r... | |
| Selling on Audiogon Do we have a resident accountant on this? I already pay taxes on 96 things. If I sell interconnects to a buyer in Montana and deliver them do I get to deduct travel from MA? Only if they're balanced? | |
| Integrated Amplifiers - Luxman vs Pass Labs @erik_squires I appreciate the follow up. I know that feeling when you just can't understand why someone else would praise a product so highly. Have you had any experience with Sugden? I had a highly praised Sugden amp with my Nines for a trial an... | |
| Integrated Amplifiers - Luxman vs Pass Labs The Coda is great but for the money the lights should turn off when you power it down. Looks a bit like a Star Wars prop but a favorite of mine so far. I thought the lack of a volume knob would bother me but over time it's nice to be able to fine ... | |
| Integrated Amplifiers - Luxman vs Pass Labs I bought the 550AII when it first came out and years later in another system a 550AX. I don't think the thought lean ever came to my mind in the 4 or 5 combined years I owned them. Is it possible that this is coming from another part of the system... | |
| Big Below 15k used that can play loud as heck I would suggest experimenting with your listening position. No matter if the system is $10,000 or $500,000, I prefer to be closer to the speakers. I'm not saying to hurt hearing or blast them in your ears but once I get more than 15 feet away, unl... | |
| Who uses ADS Speakers My dad came home with a pair of ADS 910's in around 1978. I was five. He's had a few McIntosh setups over the years. Still going- he has them in his shop. | |
| Audiogon resolutions for 2022 - #1 less exaggeration when it comes to system changes Certainly an improvement over some of the silly statements you see. I think the important thing to keep in mind is that everyone has a different outlook on life. A small improvement to one person is life altering to another. Peoples statements nee... | |
| Video, Why dont audiophiles listen to each other. A little off topic but I've never pushed the "report this" button. Does it go to Tammy's Iphone for review? Is there a senior leadership team that reviews these post? 😂 is it a keywork algorithm? I spend around 6 years off Audiogon and it seems l... |
