| Adventures With Subwoofers Couple of things. I've heard these effects and heard them solved. I suspect one of these issues: Not high passing the main speakers Alternatively plug them if ported Not a steep enough low pass on the woofer Unexpectedly bad resona... | |
| XLR vs RCA I find Mogami is a highly underrated cable. | |

| Why not more wireless connections? Wireless definitely has the advantage of convenience. For me personally it's really more about reliability. I have suffered in one way or another through many versions of wifi, sometimes in very congested areas sometimes not. Devices overheat ... | |
| Last Critical Tweak… how to quell occasional high harshness…? I was typing very fast earlier. I stand by my statement but wanted to expand a little. I've found that harshness in the mid-treble, especially when it sounds more like distortion is often room dependent and does not easily yield to DSP or EQ wit... | |

Their desire to keep the same form factor as the 509 is the only reason it's rated so small, and so long as yo... | |
| Optimized Center Channel I’ve typed this a lot. I have experience both in theaters and homes and built my own center channel. Here’s the absolute truth: Center channel speakers will not help you hear dialogue better. They help you hear the center channel track as if it... | |
| Electrical question Regulated power supplies are rarely used in amplifiers and the voltage on the rails is direclty proportional to the voltage on the AC. Having said htat, that's an unusually high drop. Your house's age may have something to do with this but moder... | |
| Room Treatment Help In a small room, do not neglect the ceiling between listener and speaker. | |
| Room Treatment Help GIK has very nice products and they have excellent advice, however I've heard many recommend ATS Acoustics as being as good or better for considerably less. | |

| Focals latest - Cat Houses? BTW, the side panels are detachable and they offer other finished. @slaw What kind of Velcro was on them?? OK, so that's a joke, but almost as big a joke as the resonances the reviewer noted in the waterfall plot caused by said, possibly ... |
