The big Gensis are back, but what about Arion?
I know the Arion speakers well. They are a stunning achievement. Find another Heil type driver combo that can go down to 125 Hz and are efficient. They sound great and are incredibly adjustable for both balance and room. This is the type of produc... 
System that sounds so real it is easy to mistaken it is not live
NO! If anyone thinks recorded sound is superior to live sound(not amplified live sound) then that's an oxymoron. They are saying they don't like live sound(which is of course the standard simply by its very nature), that they prefer colorations wh... 
Speaker Suggestions $30K Sasha DAW competitor?
Ultimately always make up your own mind by listening on speakers. Beware of someone telling you simply another speaker is better(especially without telling you what they think they hear). even the best speakers vary a lot and final choice is perso... 
To couple, or not to couple, that is the question
From the latest I've heard and been told the biggest problem is microphonics in our systems. It's amazing how the sound of electronics are literally changed by vibrations. And the largest source of vibrations is our speakers and coupling seems to ... 
Do YOU have a flat frequency response in your room?
Flat frequency response is desirable but I don't believe it's the most important factor in sounding live. Dynamic linearity(linear changes in loudnes from micro to macro) is absolutely necessary. Change a seat in a live concert and frequency respo... 
Speaker placement in a room with the best performance if it is close to a wall?
There are bass nodes in every room based on dimensions. Some of these nodes are complete nulls. DSP can't fix that. Not my kind of speaker but loved by many and designed to be used in corners(even though they look conventional) are the Audio Note... 
Dust Settled Consensus- is the Benchmark AHB2 an Audiophile Amplifier?
Why is this a question. What makes it a lesser amp? All the reviews have been very good and while I don't find reviews to be the way I judge devices, consitency usually indicates a good product.  
A Question About Time Alignment
Be sure to not confuse time alignment with linear phase. Wilson speakers are time aligned, not linear phase, fundamentals and harmonics do not arrive at the same time. What time alignment is concerned with is when seperate drivers play the same fr... 
Active Speakers Better? No, per Michael Borresen
Speakers are a reactive load meaning a combination of resistance, capacitance and inductance. Amplifiers don't like reactance. They want just resistance, alas. The less reactive the load the more the amp acts like its specs. An amplifier only need... 
Things I don‘t know
Actually there is no sampling frequency for class D because class D is an analog encoding function. It is unfortunate that it's called class D. It was only called class D because it was the next amplifier format and it came after class C(lousy for... 
What is the Best Sounding Stand Mount Speaker in the world?
No such thing. There are many that are very good and they all sound different. So it's the one you like. In my case the one I'd pick.  
Most underrated female recording artists..
There are so many you can't count them. Many made a small living putting out a few albums and singing at coffee houses. Here's a few of my favorites that are undervalued: Bonnie Koloc - when she was a young a voice that could soar from one note t... 
Help finding a subwoofer
I was using a set of SEAS Froy3 speakers and added a pair of 18" woofers crossed passively about 85 Hz designed by the SEAS designer(a friend) and the improvement in openness , detail and clarity was overtly noticeable even thoughthe Froy3 was alr... 
Help finding a subwoofer
No suggestions but two comments. First an 8" woofer plus passive radiator is still just an 8" woofer. A passive radiator may look like a woofer but it's just a port substitute. Second, I know there are arguments against this but I'd look for a s... 
Speaker cable
Positive and ground are really the same thing. It's just a convention which is positive or negative. A circuit goes in both directions in each of the two wires. Therefore both should be electrically the same. Anything else is BS.,
