It also helps reduce the smearing from side wal... | |

| Using PA Speakers In A Home "Audiophile" Application! @yoyoyaya @benanders I have used a fair amount of studio monitors at home over the years, nearfield and midfield (Neumann, Yamaha, Genelec, etc).

| Using PA Speakers In A Home "Audiophile" Application! @mgrif104 1) most (not all) music venues are mono - not stereo. This is because you want people everywhere to hear roughly the same sound. Given that pressure levels drop by 3 DB as you square the distance, people on the left side of the hall a... | |
| Little help with REL subwoofers, please? At 65 lbs, it’s on the edge of what I can comfortably deal with, which is a consideration for me. Perhaps I’ll wait to hear what my ortho says about my knee next week.... @northman , Furniture dollies have largely saved my back over the years..... | |
| Little help with REL subwoofers, please? @deep_333, thank you for the suggestions. I've spent the last couple days reading about Rythmik subs. I'm impressed by what I read about both the F12 and the F8, but at 65-75lbs, they may be too heavy for me--but I appreciate the recommendation. ... | |
| Using PA Speakers In A Home "Audiophile" Application! As previously mentioned, several brands like JBL, Klipsch & Altec ( in the past) offer both home & pro “PA” speakers which are very sensitive, dynamic & can play loudly while still sounding quite good without straining. Often the diff... | |

Most home listening areas won’t abide Clair Brothers boxes or even La Scalas, but I use a pair of original series Mackie 350s (10" woofer) with a 92 lb Mackie woofer in my music ... | |
| Little help with REL subwoofers, please? @northman Integrating a subwoofer with fast Magnepans can be very difficult with "conventional" subwoofers. Things that help - sealed sub - smallest driver possible that can still give 20 hz and below bass extension (i.e. serve as a "subwoofe... | |
| Using PA Speakers In A Home "Audiophile" Application! deep_333: Keep in mind that I have been at this hobby since the early 80’s. Things accumulate over time. We have no kids and it’s just me and my partner in the house... Funny true story - Years ago I was at work bidding on 4 or 5 stereo componen... | |
| Using PA Speakers In A Home "Audiophile" Application! The crossovers used in PA speakers are typically designed more for power handling than that nth degree of que ne se quoi for ultra high fidelity. But that doesn’t mean that they can’t be adapted for home use with quite good results. This is just ... | |
| Using PA Speakers In A Home "Audiophile" Application! I have tried many brands of PA speakers for home and still do use them, but I also have several hi fi speakers. I like to experience it all!
