| Best speakers for a small room Hmmm, it seems that OP, @jazzguy1958 , is MIA. Why start a thread when you can't stay engaged. | |
| Help me choose speakers I wasting my money? Probably. I would not spend more than $1k/pair for speakers that will be placement-compromised like this. There's very little benefit. ELAC - Debut Reference DBR62 for $700/pair (or similar) will be all of the speaker you'... | |
| Is there a DAC ranking list? Headphones for the win in that room. No question. | |
| What does a subwoofer solve? Subwoofers can solve a few problems (and create more), depending on how they are used. My preference is to use subwoofers to add pressurization to the room and ensure even response at the listening position. Even with full-range loudspeakers with ... | |
| Will I benefit from a subwoofer with 20Hz speakers? Justification for subs: The best place for imaging is never the best place for bass™ | |
| Speakers: Anything really new under the sun? @jaybird5619 - since you are in the Atlanta, GA area, I'd suggest joining the Atlanta Audio Club. They are a great bunch of folks, and being a member will enable you to meet and attend listening sessions at a number of member's homes. This will gi... | |
| Bought the wrong subwoofer! I own a pair of REL T/7i subs and a pair of SVS 3000 Micro subs. They are similar in size, but the Micro's are a bit smaller…an eleven inch cube. The T/7i has a single front-firing 8" active driver with a 10" passive driver on the bottom while the... | |
| Have you moved away from full range to standmount speakers + subs? My experience has been that you have to give the room what it wants for best results. With bigger rooms that offer listening distances ~10 ft. or more from ear to tweeter, the best fit is usually full-range towers or designs of similar scale. In s... | |
| DAC That Punches Above Its Price Point You almost have to try to find a bad DAC these days. I did fairly detailed listening and measurement comparisons between the Topping D90SE and Gustard X16 not long ago. With identical loads and levels matched to 0.01 dB, it was impossible for me t... | |
| To Stream or Not to Stream The single best thing about streaming and listening to my local collection is Roon.I could not agree more, thyce. | |
| Streamer Advice / Recommendation for Denafrips R2R DAC I have the new ZEN Stream from iFi Audio arriving sometime next week. At $399, it seems to be a very well sorted piece. Looking forward to sharing my impressions.https://ifi-audio.com/products/zen-stream/ | |
| Need a DAC Recommendation. IMHO, buying a used DAC is like buying a used cell phone.I wonder if there are any significant audible benefits to spending more than $500 on a new DAC in 2021… | |
| How many of you are digital only systems? It has been interesting to watch how our notion of 2-channel system composition has changed over the last few decades. FM tuners have given way to lossless streamers (eg., for TIDAL and Quboz). The outboard phono stage has, in many systems, been r... | |
| Warning: China-Hifi-Audio.com Another big +1 for apos.audio. A warning that ordering from them can be habit-forming... | |
| How loud are you typically listening? I’ve always tried to avoid prolonged exposure to loud noises, even when I was young. In spite of that care, I have significant tinnitus…I can hear the ringing in my ears over fairly loud traffic noise on my commute. Although my room is reasonably ... |
