Subwoofer
In the past we only sold Rel subwoofers. We never went further than about 50hz-60hz.Based on surround we went to 80hz. I never thought about using it further than that. Until a client of mine phoned me in 2012. He read about an article about using...

It is a fact that subwoofers give a superior level of qualtity and integration whrn used till 120hz.But most subwoofers are not able to be used till 120hz. And this is a fact as well. I have proven this many times and you are welcome for a shootou...

In the past you had less different other options. These days there are more options, but also better options like REL.Shootouts give you the information that they are not the best anymore. In my world the best only counts. I don't care what the na... 
Power Cables
The PK-10 powercabels are a lot better than the powercables in the lower price ranges of Nordost. I know it, I sold them for over 9 years of time.The limitation of the Nordost is that they are incomplete. Even the Nordost Valhalla powercables ( I ... 
Power cables for PassLabs preamp and poweramp
Most tests I did in almost 18 years were with cables. That is way cables are a component in each set I create.All my tests were in many different price ranges. Always to find the best for the money. Based on all the tests I did I can say that over... 
Power cables for PassLabs preamp and poweramp
I sold ( for 9 years of time) and owned Nordost Valhalla ( for 12 years) cables and also the powercables. These days in shows I often see them.Before I auditioned a set with the new Nordost Valhalla I said: we will have about 1 metre of depth. So ... 
Power cables for PassLabs preamp and poweramp
Pass Labs creates a wide and deep stage, but individual focus of instruments and voices is not as palpable and intimate as in real.I had many conversations about this with Desmond in the past. He said that the .8 series is more intimate and sharpe...

The Purist Audio Limited had a burning period of over 21 days. And this 24 hours a day. I really hated this! 
Power cables for PassLabs preamp and poweramp
The PK-10 is for the money exeptional, but when you use the latest LE powercables it sets the Pass labs to a superior level.I owned the XA100.5 and used the Purist Aqueous 20th Ann pwercables. Later I also owned the X250.5 and now comes the clue.W... 
Monitor Audio Silver 8, opinions please ?
I tested the RZ900 for Onkyo Benelux in 2015. The thing is that it is inferior to the older models like the TX-NR929. The Monitor Audio Silver series is the only series in this price tange I tested who can create a deep and wide stage. B&W, Ke...

These settings we used 15 years ago with Rel subwoofers as well. Because you cannot use them a lot higher. I can garantee you 100% that this is inferior compared to using a subwoofer till 120hz.Rel you cannot use it this high, because I had client...

It is our crying Woolfy again. I guess you still use your "old' Rel 150 subwoofer. In audio the most convincing sound always will win. It is not 6 years, but 18 years of sales experience. The biggest difference compared to all my collegues is that... 
Subwoofer
And yess all products are not perfect. But only when you are aware of all the properties ( d.n.a. of a tool) it owns you could be able to use them.When I ask to people; tell me the properties of the product you own or sell? They can’t answer it. T... 
Subwoofer
I will explain it once again: I compare and test all the time. The only thing what is important in audio is that those products who give the best results do matter. All the other products doens’t make sense.Even te brand does not matter, because w...

"regarding cone material.....Rythmik’s Brian Ding recommends AGAINST crossing-over his aluminum coned subs at higher than 80Hz "I understand because the are too slow, and cannot handle more. This is a limitation, you never should choose for audio ...
