| Can old ceiling speakers be used as Atmos Fronts? Yes, sure. You aren't going to be married to the choice, if they don't work out, get something else. Best,E | |
| Is there an actual difference between AB and A/AB ? Perhaps audio manufactures should drop the term AB They have, I think. They say something like "high bias AB" or "A/AB"The curmudgeon in me wants them to just stick to calling it AB. :) Let's have a fight over it! ;) Best,E | |
| Furman Elite 15 PFi - how to tell if everything is working @toolbox149I also want to point out that just because something is working doesn't mean it has a benefit for you right now. Like the fabulous surge protection. You really won't benefit from it until you have a surge. The Furman SMP and LiFT are al... | |
| Separate subs for bass management & LFE in a surround set up I think you have no idea how hard it is to integrate a sub well yet. Do that for 1 or 2 subs first. :) Actually if you have that kind of cash, hire a pro. Best,E | |

| 12V trigger wire There's a switch you probably hit by accident. :) The trigger wire is dead simple, no need for fancy stuff. | |
| Is there an actual difference between AB and A/AB ? You're not wrong, but what's your point? Knowing how many class A watts an amp can provide is useful info.Hey @onhwy61 - I'm not really making a point, I'm fine with a manufacturer making a claim to Class A at low power if accurate.Really I am a... | |
| Is there an actual difference between AB and A/AB ? Are you saying that amps like Pass Labs do not operate in class A up to a certain wattage or are you just saying that those amps should be called AB not A/AB?The latter. I mean, the whole point of AB is to avoid the crossover distortion of B, with... | |
| Do $2k speakers + DSP = $50k speakers? Properly integrated, subs are magic.Better with room acoustics being brought in before EQ. I'll go further: You can get better sound with satellites and a sub IF (and only IF) you can integrate them with each other and the room well. Otherwise, sm... | |
| Would you put Beryllium in your ears? Don't sniff the ear pads. | |
| Matching bookshelves to towers. It is a lot less important with auto EQ being used. :) Best,E | |
| Class D vs Class AB - Looking for best used budget amplifier for Magnepan MG12 A. OR A/AB. mess with D and be disappointed don’t be fooled by the hype. There is no substitute,,,,,,,,, << cough >> Haha! I have a pair of ICEpower 250 ASP based monoblocks. You could not tell them apart from Parasound A21s of simi... | |
| Separate subs for bass management & LFE in a surround set up My question is more, will I lose some of the utility of the 1/4 placement for wave cancellation if both left and right front subs aren’t playing the exact same signal Yes. Is it worth $5? Probably not. What I mean is from an absolute testing / me... | |
| The invention of measurements and perception Those two questions need some sort of answer before the question of quantifiable measurement can take on any sort of meaning. Exactly, which brings me back to my original thesis: A measurement alone has no meaning until we have given it one. | |
| The invention of measurements and perception Thank you for the kind words. quality associated with it. Clearly, these numbers represent specific physical things. What i meant was, is 4 Volts warm? Is 0.8A precise imaging? Do 30 watts sound hard? Inventing a measure, such as your cholesterol... |
