Comparison of various subwoofers for 2 channel audio
@decathlon1991  That sounds like a rather unique solution:  3 high on each side!  One of many possible solutions, as the next post by @mrdecibel went from 2 subs to 1.   It's great to hear the variety of approaches hear to 2 channel music.  I th... 
Comparison of various subwoofers for 2 channel audio
@mofojo  Since my first pair is balanced force 12” subs, I was leaning towards the Rythmik G22, which is also a 12” balanced force sub.  I’ve heard many say that they mix and match subs without any untoward effect.  I’m almost more curious to pai... 
Comparison of various subwoofers for 2 channel audio
@carlsbad2  Just prefer the natural sound, as I only listen to acoustic music. @james633  The bass in the listening position is great.  Near perfect, although perhaps slightly loose on occasion.  I was just going to daisy chain the two subs off... 
REL vs JL AUDIO
Any experience with other brands, such as Martin Logan vs. Rythmik vs. Velodyne vs. SVS?    
Speaker cable change??
All cables affect your system.  Sometimes you want a cable to hide or diminish a weakness of your system.  Presently, I prefer the Amazon Monolith speaker cables…something like $20, if you can believe it…  
MC-MM-MI CARTRIDGES . DO YOU KNOW WHICH HAS BETTER QUALITY PERFORMANCE? REALLY?
@dogberry I suppose it depends on history…why don’t you do a little look through posts on the site, and I think the conclusion is quite apparent…  
MC-MM-MI CARTRIDGES . DO YOU KNOW WHICH HAS BETTER QUALITY PERFORMANCE? REALLY?
@knock1 I suppose a more proper imitation of @rauliruegas would be something more like this: WHAT KIND OF STUPID QUESTION IS THIS? DO YOU NOT HAVE A BRAIN? DO YOUR EARS EVEN WORK!?…OBVIOUSLY YOU KNOW NOTHING ABOUT ANYTHING!   (As in life, so ... 
MC-MM-MI CARTRIDGES . DO YOU KNOW WHICH HAS BETTER QUALITY PERFORMANCE? REALLY?
@rauliruegas  Disclosure: this is not my typical response, but I am simply going to channel your personality, and the way that you respond to others in this response, and perhaps you may learn something: What kind of stupid question is this?  Do...

"The Mystery Of Sound Is Mysticism"
…or perhaps Pythagoras was right ,and humans have just gotten duller over the ages…or perhaps Pythagoras was more right, but the others aren’t completely wrong…  
Digital with same soundstage as analog
Tone and timbre would be the largest differences I notice between vinyl and digital.  I wouldn’t think that sound stage would be much affected by source, generally speaking.  
Whats on your turntable tonight?
Bach, St John Passion, conducted by Helmuth Rilling. Today is the 300 year anniversary of its first performance:  Good Friday, 1724 in Leipzig  
Planar Speakers and Diffusors
@kykat  Yes, thanks for catching that! In that last post, I typed: "I placed absorption panels on the entire back wall (with bass traps in the corners)." I should have typed "on the entire front wall" (behind the speakers).      
Planar Speakers and Diffusors
@ozzy  Thanks for sharing your experience.  Next, you may want to try adding absorption panels behind the speakers.  Start with a few, and see what you think:  perhaps you will find the imaging more precise, and the sound less bright.  Whether th... 
Planar Speakers and Diffusors
Try the diffusers, and let us know what you hear.  Generally speaking, I've read here and elsewhere that absorption is better on the front wall (behind the planars).  I have tried everything from nothing at all, to slight absorption, to full absor...
