| Forever speakers around $5000 I think Dynaudio or Dali are going to have the right frequency balance for you. | |
| Why go out??? The issue of movie presentation quality is not new, it's been a problem for decades. I just watched Rise of Skywalker, and the screen was dim and the sound was disappointing. I can't tell if that was poor music/audio design or the theater, but ye... | |
| Time to buy a class D amp? The good Nelson Pass posted some interesting musings on high vs. low impedance amps and drivers and how they might be matched up here:https://www.passdiy.com/project/amplifiers/current-source-amplifiers-and-sensitive-full-range-driver...Fun stuff. | |
| Adding storage to a MacBook Pro Installing a larger internal drive is the answer. Last time I did this it needed a USB to SATA adapter to basically rip the original drive onto the new one before replacing it. You'll find instructions online. Alternatively, USB thumb drives in 25... | |
| Adding 5-channel amps to AV Receivers My suggestion is get an inexpensive 5 channel Marantz from Accessories4Less and then see if you need anything more. Best,E | |
| Living with Magico S3MKII & Luxman C900u +M900u (long term Impression) Nice review.Looking at your system I'd be curious if throwing a blanket over your credenza or on the floor between the speakers helps with the high frequency smoothness. I haven't heard this particular model, do you find any chestiness when playin... | |
| My stereo receiver is a little too bright. Can a cable help me out? Room acoustics. In particular for this issue, between and behind the speakers on the floor is really helpful. Experiment with blankets first. Best,E | |
| Eh hem!...Subwoofers... What do ya know? I want to be clear on my position in a few ways:Multiple subs are great1 sub, properly integrated is much better than most people know about. Hsu makes great subs too, and more people should try them. | |
| Los Angeles - Who is up for a w/e Subwoofer demo? Fair enough but only if I can bring Vandertones disc and my RTA Sure. We'll have to rip it though, I haven't got a real spinner anywhere in the house! :D | |
| Parasound A23+ vs. Emotiva XPA-DR2 I've never heard a Parasound amp I didn't like. Best,E | |
| Los Angeles - Who is up for a w/e Subwoofer demo? So I really should be more clear. :) The purpose of the demo would be to show how well a single sub can be integrated with a pair of satellites, and what that sounds like.I’ll be demoing: Hsu V15miniDSPGIK Accoustic panels and soffit trapsMy very ... | |
| Los Angeles - Who is up for a w/e Subwoofer demo? To be clear: Everything will be configured before anyone arrives. :) I'll need time to set up , and organize all the slides. | |
| To pre or not to pre My biggest issue with the Mytek was it would respond to a static discharge by going full volume. But I liked using it directly compared to some, not to others. The Mytek Brooklyn was more transparent than run through a Parasound P7. Slightly so. W... | |
| How do wireless subwoofers do this? Subwoofer DSP room correction does not implement a crossover. A preamp with bass management will implement a crossover. A crossover is a combination of 2 filters. Low pass and high pass. A subwoofer's input can certainly implement the low pass. ... | |
| Watts and power Hi @audiozenology: I did a complete speaker and crossover analysis. This means I measured the impedance and FR of each driver in the near field to achieve quasi-anechoic measurements. I further took the crossover apart and simulated the entire sp... |
