| From a Close Minded Audiophile--Sumiko S5 Subwoofer Helps The minefield in most rooms is the below 100 Hz, if not the below 40 Hz area, where room modes are most likely to be excited. Since most floor standers cut out around this region, they are less likely to get into problems. So, less setup drama, b... | |
| Speakers Women Like You can have the cabinet made by Lee Taylor. The only thing after that is the crossover, and that can be purchased fully assembled from Madisound. If you can install a speaker in a car, this would be a piece of cake. Best,Erik | |
| Help me replace my beloved Wilson System 6 The Magico S1 Mk II + Subwoofers + room treatment will beat all of those sound and looks wise for significantly less if you have the floor space to let them breathe. They have a better, smoother and more lively top end. than any of those listed, ... | |
| difussor's Usually, if you lack imaging you need more absorption in the axis of the imaging problems. Good bass traps work in different frequencies and they aren't located where you need them. You need to eliminate strong and direct reflections, so start abs... | |
| Dazed and Confused - Upgrading System But Too Many Options! How about a Parasound integrated? Has a very nice DAC built in. You'll still need a streamer. I see New Old Stock (NOS) Squeezebox streamers in Audiogon for around $500. The most important part for me at least is the remote software support, so w... | |
| Speakers Women Like Interesting. I'm actually a big fan of Monitor Audio. The last time I heard Thiel's though Jim was still alive and I found their sound piercing, so it's hard for me to imagine you liking the Monitor Audio AND the Thiels.If your a bit of a techie... | |
| From a Close Minded Audiophile--Sumiko S5 Subwoofer Helps Hi JB!Subwoofers are great when they are well set up, which is rarely. I would strongly encourage you to make the most of them by learning how to measure your room and the speakers. Room EQ Wizard is free, and an inexpensive, calibrated mic star... | |
| Speakers Women Like Don, I don't have invisible speakers and all the ladies who've listened love them. Honestly I think lots has to do with the quality of the speakers. My audiophile friends don't love my speakers that much either, but music producing friends do. Th... | |
| How to merge home theater with 2 channel In your Oppo, make sure you set the DTS Neo:6 mode to Cinema. I believe this adds virtual surround if you don't have it, but can do funky things for streaming stereo sources. Also, with the Oppo there is a Tidal and Pandora clients I believe, so ... | |
| Looking for a 7 channel power amp to replace Krell showcase 7 If heat is a concern, you should be looking for ICEPower or Hypex based amplifiers. They'll stay quite cool. nuForce, Jeff Rowland, NAD, Bel Canto and Theta are making amps based on their modules. I personally own ICEpower 250 modules and they no... | |
| Magico S1 Mk II - The First Review audio....Great impressions! I won't berate you for not meeting any particular standards for listening like others here might! Hah. :) I'm curious though, you kind of hedged your statement at the end, keeping your comparisons to other Magico's. Ho... | |
| Speakers Women Like Come over to the Multi-Way forums on DIY Audio if you want to talk drivers and crossovers. Lots of AMT builders there, including me. :) Best,Erik | |
| Will an Auralic Vega best my Meridian 508.24 significantly? Well, i don't own a Shiit, I bought an AR DAC 8, and the Shiit to me was closest to it of the one's we listened to. I also like the Ayre DAC's a great deal. I wouldn't put too much on Stereophile's measurements. Sorry. Unless a DAC is seriously... | |
| The best separates between $2500-3000. Moving on from the original Rogue Sphinx Intg.. Oee thing about ARC, the new products don't sound much like the old one's. I like the new one's a lot, but ARC die-hards probably feel the opposite. I find the new one's clean without sounding clinical like the old equipment. I point this out in... | |
| Speaker Driver Material & The Sound of Dissimilar Materials Free, so how do you think speakers work when you get a phone call and recognize the voice, or vice versa? :) It would be pretty weird if there were vocal chords in your cell phone. Maybe you’d have to feed it to keep it working. The device in your... |
