| Speakers for Heavy Metal Back in the day I worked at a Klipsch dealer (and met Paul once) and though I was not a big fan of his speakers, they are "the bomb" when it comes to rock and roll. So I agree with some of the other postings about snagging a pair of Cornwalls. I... | |
| Anyone Used REW-Room EQ Wizard? HEW,Thanks, one of the best I've seen on REW! I hope to have the microphone by the weekend and will see what I can find out about identifying the problems with the bass in my "man cave". | |
| Anyone love TIDAL lossless streaming like I do? We have both Tidal and Spotify Premium.The sound quality from Tidal is definitely better (44.1k/16 bit is markedly better sounding than 320k MP3). When I go to find albums, not all of them are available on Tidal, same with Spotify, but maybe to a... | |
| Spotify Premium vs Tidal ... opinions? " Tidal sound quality is significantly better"I agree wholeheartedly! | |
| best bookshelf speakers for < $2000? I have had a pair of Totem Fire monitors for a while now, and every time I venture out to listen to other monitors, the result is the same (the other speakers sound "different", but not "better"). These babies have pretty good bass (for monitors)... | |
| Most overrated audio manufacturers? "I have no problem with people making money, but crazy claims and unbelievable profit margins exist in this arena "It's not like a lot of other industries, who pile on extra charges for things that you aren't really receiving.Yes, some items in th... | |
| Music for testing equipment speakers, headphones.. 2015 was a year of major audio system upgrades for me, including moving my system from our 13x24 living room (with a pair of stand mounts) to a 24x26 "man cave", for a few months, shopping for a pair of floor standing speakers.In addition to bring... | |
| I think I've Just Seen Absolute Proof That Audiophiles Are Insanely Gullible jmcgrogan2,Funny when you say: A simple survey....how many of you guys are married?I rest my case. ;^) | |
| The Best Midrange in the World Right Now I've been smitten with the midrange from the Focal Sopra No2's. Since transitioning to my music server/iPad setup, I rarely listen to an entire album start to finish, but the other night enjoyed Diana Krall's "The Girl in the Other Room", a reall... | |
| Is the word 'Integrated' that hard to spell? All those years I've been in the working world (about 50 of them), I've been surprised at how sloppy people can be with letters, memos and emails; it detracts from the perceived "professionalism" when it contains all those miss-spellings. | |
| The one piece of gear you will never sell Hard to say "never", but I'll go with my McIntosh MC452 power amp. | |
| How to upgrade in pieces - or - tell me about your journey! About four years ago, with the kids’ college expenses behind me, I started my journey into the higher end of our hobby, with the purchase of the NAD Masters Series components, a Velodyne sub woofer and a pair of Totem Fire monitors.I was immediate... | |
| In a lot of these threads people say without the room being treated Today I installed the 7th & 8th bass trap in my "man cave" and I’m close to being "done" struggling to control the "boominess" in the 24x26’ room. It was so bad that, even with a half-dozen traps, and using the room eq feature built into my JL... | |
| In a lot of these threads people say without the room being treated I did a lot of upgrades in 2015, in a new "man cave". When I got a new pair of speakers, got them "dialed in" to the room with just a few bass traps, the sound was just great! But when I added a pair of excellent subs, that last octave of bass h... | |
