| What percentage of audiophiles use a sub ? I have used a sub for years with my bookshelf speakers. Recently, when I switched to floorstanding speakers, I tried setting them up without the sub. I was never able to achieve the quality of bass in my listening room that the sub provided. So I ... | |
| What decibel level do you listen at? My average is around 85dB, with brief peaks, on some recordings, as high as 100dB.As several people have pointed out, my volume level is largely determined by the quality and dynamic range of the recording. I have also noticed, as has been mention... | |
| What is Musicality? Sabai wrote in the OP: Appreciating good music is not only a matter of how good your equipment is. It is a measure of how musical a person you are. Most people appreciate good music but some people are born more musical than others I think Sabai i... | |
| What is Musicality? The term musicality gets used in different ways by different audiophiles, but there is one usage that I find the most informative: A system is described as musical when the sound it produces is perceived by the listener as a GESTALT, rather than... | |
| Can back surrounds smear the front image? I do not listen to multichannel music, but I have noticed that my surrounds diminish the coherence of the front image during movies, even though my processor, like most, delays the signal sent to the surrounds to compensate for variations in the s... | |
| Meridian G68 or G61R Jose - Congratulations. I hope you will be happy with it. I have been.One last tip: To get the most out of Meridian Room Correction, you may want to download Room EQ Wizard software and use it in conjunction with MRC. It requires some additional h... | |

I've been using an Audioquest diamondback sub cable for the past couple years with no complaints.Al - Thanks again for your advice. I have decided to go with a Blue Jeans LC-1. It could not possibly have been more ... | |

| Part 2: Help me choose a new subwoofer cable... Al - You are a useful man to have around. Like a one man Wikipedia for A'gon. As always, your help is much appreciated.Having said that, reading your post gives me the impression that whatever differences may exist among subwoofer cables, they are... | |
| Best speaker cables for longer runs This question has come up a lot lately. I myself recently posted a similar thread which you can read here.FWIW, I have decided to give Paul Speltz's Anti-cables a try. Good luck. | |
| Upgrade advice for processor No, I did not listen to both amps. My advice was not based on any negative experience with the MCA-50. It was based on my highly positive experience with the A5. I used the A5 for both music and movies for two years. It is an excellent product at ... | |
| Upgrade advice for processor I am under the impression that the A5 uses a variety of upgraded parts. I could be wrong about that. You should consult your Anthem dealer. | |
| Meridian G68 or G61R The basics of the program are straight forward enough, but the more advanced functions are not. So, for example, configuring the initial system setup is straight forward, and will probably take you an hour. But once you start to configure bass man... | |
| Upgrade advice for processor Since you mentioned that 2 channel sound quality is a priority for you, and you are leaning toward Anthem, I would consider getting the Anthem Statement A5 rather than the MCA-50, if you can stretch the budget slightly. I have the A5 and I can tel... | |
| Upgrade advice for processor Since you mention that HDMI is not a necessity, I would consider a used Meridian G68. I am very happy with mine for both movies and 2 channel. |
