| Best equipment to integrate subwoofers with desktop speakers? Anthem | |
| Poor Fritz Hey @Roxy54The moderators rarely moderate. They automatically remove anything flagged. Ask GeorgeHiFi how much fun that is to play. Hahahah. | |
| I am indecisive about choice due to room size Test for you. Sit 2' from your speakers and listen to them. The difference between that and your chair is room acoustics. | |
| I am indecisive about choice due to room size That up to 70% of what you hear in a particular system is the sound of the room Absolutely!! Until you treat it, you can't hear anything. What I think happens is that over a long period of time, Audiophiles learn to hear past the room acoustics, b... | |
| Pass Labs int 60 vs. Luxman 590 uX ii Builer, It's a little more subtle than that. Most amps will double in power as impedance is halved.... down to a point. From 32 to 16 to 8 to 4. That's Fairly typical for most amps to handle. As the speaker impedance gets close to the amp impe... | |
| Poor Fritz Thank you to everyone who has given kenjit fuel to derail yet another thread and turn it into Kenjit theater. Your constant stream of engagement has turned this thread into something far from the helpful positive place I tried to start it. Please,... | |
| I am indecisive about choice due to room size The truth is Duke and I are going about the problem from complementary positions. The better controlled dispersion you can have, the less room treatment you need. Still, I believe you are better off treating the room first, before undertaking the ... | |
| Mytek Manhattan II as preamp :) See?? :) Best,Erik | |
| Focal 1028be ... what’s your toe-in? With prior inverted dome Focal tweets I used zero. Also, adding felt to the sides further smoothed the response. The key with Focal is that there are 3 conditions:1. No center2. Center, Left and Right but little in between. 3. Smooth sound field t... | |
| Best room treatment OP:Room EQ Wizard is free software. I’m not sure how much it has been extended, but originally it was free _measurement_ software, not EQ changes.And no, it’s not the same. Regardless of the system, Dirac, Audessey, JL Audio, etc. all make differe... | |
| I am indecisive about choice due to room size Adding bass.... not an upgrade. What I would do, have your room professionally treated by GIK. If you haven’t already, it will balance your bass to mid/treble energy better, in addition to improving clarity and imaging. Do that long before you thi... | |
| Matched interconnect cables producing different volume left and right You don't want continuity, you want zero impedance, or close to it. What is it?? | |
| Filter capacitance-how does it relate to amplifier performance? No one will give you a great answer until you understand what it is doing. Here's a helpful article:https://makingcircuits.com/blog/calculate-filter-capacitor-smoothing-ripple/But basically, bragging rights are the main benefit, followed by enabli... | |
| Pass Labs int 60 vs. Luxman 590 uX ii I am a Luxman pusher. Everything else is projection. :) | |
| Pass Labs int 60 vs. Luxman 590 uX ii For some one who loves Pass, you just did Pass a huge disservice. No modern amp company I know of has innovated along the lines of amplifier circuits more than Pass. Attempting to reduce a Luxman vs. Pass to Bipolar vs. MOSFET trope is something ... |
