| Class D, "Control (Variable Gain)," Amplifier versus Class A/B Separates? @benanders @soix @mashif @tweak1 @ghdprentice So at the end, I went a different route and accidentally got what I wanted. I was using some inexpensive, 28" stands with glass bases and platforms from Amazon, and I upgraded to the KEF S2 bolt-on, c... | |
| Class D, "Control (Variable Gain)," Amplifier versus Class A/B Separates? @soix yes, I’m currently using the GCC-100 in integrated amplifier fashion. The subwoofer is attached to the Aux outs on it as well. -Ed | |
| Class D, "Control (Variable Gain)," Amplifier versus Class A/B Separates? @soix Under $2K for sure. Preferably closer to $1K for this little experiment. Who knows if anything can be achieved at all? -Ed | |
| Class D, "Control (Variable Gain)," Amplifier versus Class A/B Separates? @soix @ghdprentice You know, to be honest, I'm not sure. I think at this point my system is 98% there, perhaps slightly bring forward the vocals, but that might mostly be it. I think I've gotten my system almost as far as I can go without doing ro... | |
| Class D, "Control (Variable Gain)," Amplifier versus Class A/B Separates? @tweak1 what kind of internal upgrades did you have done? My remote is quite worn, so I could really use a replacement remote. Or perhaps I could just get a universal programmable remote. Hmm… -Ed | |
| Room Setup/Tuning/Compensation War Stories Thanks @ohlala for that incredible story. I admit you’ve definitely put in more effort than I. Since my two sons are only 4 and 6, I’m not willing to overly invest in room treatments because as my kids grow, so too will our home evolve. Great stor... | |
| Time, Wear, and Technological Evolution @rocray @yoyoyaya @kingbr @soix @mofojo Got the LS50 Metas in. Haven’t even broken them in yet, but this did the trick, especially once I installed the included foam port plugs. I removed the in-line high-pass filters and am running the LS50 Metas... | |
| Time, Wear, and Technological Evolution @yoyoyaya i was able to source a pair of LS50 Metas just an hour North of my home, picking them up Tuesday night. Let’s see how it goes! Sort of a birthday gift to myself (turning 42 tomorrow). Ordered a pair of 26” stands as well, arriving Tuesda... | |
| Time, Wear, and Technological Evolution @soix @yoyoyaya I did more experimentation with placement today, like dramatically pulling them away from the back wall, and still no dice. Then on a whim, I also tried something new. The Electra 926 are designed for biwire, with the lower pos... | |
| Time, Wear, and Technological Evolution @yoyoyaya Yes, I’ve left the sub completely off any time I experimented with placement of the main loudspeakers. I did the vast majority (and a LOT of it) of the speaker placement testing before resorting to buying the woofer, actually. -Ed | |
| Time, Wear, and Technological Evolution @soix I’ve already put quite a lot of time into speaker placement, unfortunately. This is already as far away from the wall I can go before it messes up the highs and mids. Thank you for the advice, though. As a follow-up, the dealer didn’t ha... | |
| Time, Wear, and Technological Evolution @rocray as it turns out, I was able to get in touch with a local KEF dealer, and while he does not have LS50 Metas on hand/demo, he has a pair of LSX IIs that he is able to let me audition in my home to get some idea of how it may sound right in m... | |
| Time, Wear, and Technological Evolution @rocray Yes, I have begun looking around for shops with demo spaces. Room is around 250 sq ft. I listen to a mix of stuff, primarily pop and rock, some jazz and metal, but almost no rap/hip-hop, or country music. I do not tend to listen super loud... | |
| Room Setup/Tuning/Compensation War Stories It’s the internet. You’ll always run into this type. I just ignore the noise. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ -Ed | |
| Equipment sight but not sound. 50/50 with recent purchases. SVS SB-3000 sub has really, really blown me away with the results. Absolutely love it. Bluesound POWERNODE, not so much. Love the functionality and the app, but the sound is quite meh, even when feeding it via analog i... |
