| The term "High End" needs to die. Long live Hi-Fidelity! @mahlman I've had similar experiences with several $20k+ speakers myself. At some point the juiced high end becomes a signature sound, and reviewers all agree that is high end and everyone agrees with them. Buy what you like, but when "High End" =... | |
| Best speakers for HT usage? What's the problem matching your center? Do you like wide dynamic range? As in explosively loud? | |
| The term "High End" needs to die. Long live Hi-Fidelity! That’s a Strawman argument that human hearing differences are greater than differences in specifications. A strawman argument is a little different. It is more like : "I like baseball" to which the strawman goes "but what about whales?" https://e... | |

| I went from Class D to Luxman A/AB - And most of what you think is wrong Good luck with that one Eric. Thanks George. I've had very good luck given the positive responses on this thread and my previous ones. You are vastly outnumbered, and when cornered admit you won't actually listen to Class D. Hah. Best,E | |
| How Do You Deal With Baffle Edge Diffraction? Hey gang, Just FYI, the "baffle step" effect which @Elizabeth linked to is different than I think the OP meant to ask. HereBoth are real. Baffle step has to do with how the baffle affects low frequencies of a speaker without rear wall reinforcemen... | |
| How Do You Deal With Baffle Edge Diffraction? Unless you are using a waveguide,felt is good. Madisound offers felt rounds for just such a purpose. You should also experiment however with the area between your speakers. I have often found that harshness in the highs comes from not enough dampi... |
