| Gain control for low-pass bi-amp OP: If you are not getting the crossover upgrades, then rip out the woofer crossover in it's enitrety and use a miniDSP in it's place. | |
| Taming/Damping Electrostat Backwave @audiokinesis is right on about primarily needing diffusion though perhaps combination diffusers/absorbers could be considered. | |
| Power conditioner/Surge Protection Based on the testing done by Wirecutter, if you want surge protection Furman is the right choice. They make dozens of products however so you want to make sure you have the top of the line surge protection which is SMP/LiFT and EVS. Some of the ... | |
| The Horror @roxy54 I strongly disagree with your opinion of the intent of @audiodidact ’s thread. I think that it was sincere, if a bit tongue in cheek. Hey Roxy. That's fine, I'm not the A'gon police at all. I just ... don't ;like the smell of this ... | |
| The Horror This smells even more like a troll cave which upsets me mostly because too many a'goners will try to help out of genuine concern for the OP's post not realizing they are being kited around. The OP has essentially tied the problem and solution tog... | |
| The Horror You’re displeased because I had the sickening realization that there are major differences in what money buys you in this hobby. Not even a little displeased. More like, surprised that you had any sort of revelation at a trade show. You’ve also... | |
| The Horror Honestly it’s hard to tell how much of a troll this is. The number of great systems I’ve heard is about 1 system per show, on average. Usually the rooms are so bad that I can’t tell anything good about what I’m hearing (with Vandersteen and Fritz ... | |
| Are your speakers losing air? @deep_333 The concentric drivers are also very interesting ideas here. The big challenge for a center is you want to have the dispersion of a 3-way speaker, but the height of 1 woofer! It’s a compromise achieved in a variety of ways. Sometimes wi... | |
| Recommendations for really well-recorded music for high-end audio system demo Anything from Blue Coast Records, especially if you want to show off DSD. | |
| The Horror Just for the record, I'm joking. I don't actually give a damn how much a system costs as I believe excellent sounding systems are available at many different price points. | |
| The Horror The only real audiophiles own Formula 1 teams. | |
| Best way to offload currently inoperative Conrad Johnson MV60? Well, you can sell anything on e-bay or here if you describe it accurately. I once sold a watch in terrible working shape, but I still got 5 stars because I spent so much effort describing it that the buyer new what he was bidding on. Personally ... | |
| revel f208 @jtgofish - That's another thing... the tweeters just don't contribute that much to the sound. I mean, they do but we often spend way too much time and money on them at the expense of ignoring the midrange. | |
| Are your speakers losing air? Well @tvad - I guess you solved it for everyone!! I mean, yes, listening nearfield solves the problem if you can listen or want to listen nearfield. Otherwise, EQ the missing frequencies by adding a 3dB-6dB boost. EQ and room treatements ... | |
| revel f208 OP: To be able to swap out one tweeter for another and not change the crossover is a lucky situation indeed. More to the point, you sound ready to start experimenting, and I am going to encourage you to leave stock speakers alone, sell them and s... |
