| Speakers that sound great in terrible rooms Here is a line array from ex-McIntosh speaker designer Roger Rusell I've wanted to hear. I have to say I've heard current XRT speakers and really did not like them, but this is a much more simple implementation. http://roger-russell.com/columns/co... | |
| Speakers that sound great in terrible rooms I have to admit I've had a fascination with line sources all of my life. That and large ESL panels, and yet, I have ended up rather conventional. | |
| Speakers that sound great in terrible rooms @istvan1976You are right, I've measured some of the same issues, and I wouldn't move without my speakers AND my acoustic supplies. :) This audiophile's view was that speakers should be made for untreated living rooms or they should not be purchase... | |
| Speakers that sound great in terrible rooms @alymereI am very sad to say I never met the man in person. As I noted elsewhere, his work has been with me in some form or another for a very long time. More recently I liked going to his website, trying to understand his views of a Duelund cross... | |
| Power Conditioners---old electrics in my house. Here's my thoughts, with specific model recommendations for you. https://inatinear.blogspot.com/2019/04/power-management-for-frugal-audiophiles.html | |
| Small Office - Wilson vs B&W vs Kef Convolution filters attempt to completely perfect the output of a speaker. They're IMHO over hyped, and limited in their effectiveness. Better to get speakers you like the sound of and use DSP with a delicate hand. Here's how I used Roon to clean... | |
| Is the 2.5 way speaker the ideal home speaker? @helomechThat's interesting, usually three way speakers are considered ideal due to the midrange covering the entire human voice and much of the piano without the crossover involved. I wonder if your hearing more bass boominess from 3 way designs? | |
| Roon's update sounds really good Why would you use wifi for streaming over wired? Convenience, I don't have a great way to get the bits to the place over wired. Sorry I have disappointed you. | |
| Roon's update sounds really good three_easy_paymentsOh, yeah yeah, I bought this new audiophile Wifi antenna, with a golden ratio double helix photonic quadratic grand unified theory of basilisk oil. So long as I keep the basilisk oil topped off it sounds great! :) Honestly I'm ... | |
| Active Not powered stand mount loudspeaker recommendations What is an active not powered speaker?? | |
| Speakers that sound great in terrible rooms and this goes back to something else I've noticed. I simply cannot ignore a room. I can ignore the air conditioner more easily. Those audiophiles who can hear the nuance of equipment in a bad room, you are amazing, because I can barely listen. | |
| Small Office - Wilson vs B&W vs Kef The B&W speakers all sound like B&W speakers, in my mind, so you have to want that particular sound. You can’t really exchange them. Make yourself happy.I am not sure about the Tune tots but may I suggest bespoke speakers from Fritz? The b... | |
| Roon's update sounds really good Also changing my buffer size to a full half second. | |
| Roon's update sounds really good Oh, wait, my bad, I know what happened. I changed the router channel to use a less congested one. | |
| Roon's update sounds really good I just hit the update button last night... but it seems like I am running 1.7 / 528 on the bridge |
