| Active Speakers Don't Sound Better BTW, I want to point out that the plate amplifier in my center is in a sealed sub-compartment. The simple box-shape actually has 3 separate chambers: Woofers Mid/tweeter chamber Plate amplifier All quite sturdy. The amplifier is not direc... | |
| Active Speakers Don't Sound Better I do want to point out that as the builder of an active, 3-way speaker I can point out a number of ways in which this is a technically superior speaker vs. what I would have made as a passive version. Also that my workflow is so much simpler I’ll ... | |
| Active Speakers Don't Sound Better Well, I know that you like to say provocative things to start a discussion Erik How rude and completely uncalled for! I’m absolutely shocked they’d allow gambling in this casino.... 🤣 but of course your experience with this one speaker ... | |
| a naive question about HT speakers I wrote about this here in my blog. | |
| iFi LAN iSilencer connection I'd suggest as close to your playback system as possible. | |
| 10dB resonant peak at 40Hz OP: Yes, that’s the one. As you mention, plugging the ports will work but sometimes at the expense of all lower bass. A parametric EQ on the other hand can clip these enormous resonances effectively and make it possible to better balance the ba... | |
| Summer Power Issues @immatthewj And that's exactly why I use Furman with EVS. More than once I've come home to find that EVS has shut down my power conditioner due to some random power issue. | |
| 10dB resonant peak at 40Hz Well, if you could move the speakers I’d say use the AM Acoustics room mode simulator to try to put your speakers and listening room out of the 40 Hz mode. Otherwise EQ is your only option. If it makes you feel any better, it's a very good option... | |

| Starting Over and I need your help I think that above all you haven't focused on yourself enough. What do YOU like to listen to, what type of sound balance excites you? Above all keep it simple. A small home office can be a challenging environment because of the speaker location... | |
| Summer Power Issues You want a Furman with AR (voltage regulation) | |
| Deqx pre8 Welp, I'm going to throw out what I know may be a terrible idea. Sorry. What about taking a cue from ground-plane measurements? Often used for subwoofers. The idea is to put the subwoofer up against the floor so there is no reflection point. ... | |
| USB DAC cable over 15ft - Solutions? What you want is an active USB cable like this one. You may also need an isolator at the far end if the target DAC is not galvanically isolated. The issue is a combination of that, noisy PC power supplies and that you’ll probably be on 2 different... | |
| When did you last update your Wifi firmware? @curiousjim Not having an update isn't necessarily a bad thing. They usually come out after a security vulnerability has been discovered, so with luck, a router gets more secure over time. Not sure how that affects any "apps" running on them ho... | |
| Surge protector @ejr1953 - There are two related recommendations for WHSPs - Keep any leads short while avoiding sharp curves AND place the WHSP as close to the inlets as possible. The thinking here is that shunt-mode surge protectors (which all WHSP I know of a... |
