| Newbie - Replacing front speakers & going 5.0! Advice needed :) Hi Aux,Well, I never said all room correction was good sounding but that it was a good way to match otherwise different speakers. Personally I use miniDSP and custom settings, and can get seamless sound out of 3 very different models of main speak... | |
| Newbie - Replacing front speakers & going 5.0! Advice needed :) Also, keep an eye on Parts Connexion and Audio Adivisor, they often carry discontinued Monitor Audio for cheap. http://www.partsconnexion.com/t/eblast/2017/auxms/auxms.htmlBest,E | |
| Newbie - Replacing front speakers & going 5.0! Advice needed :) I am a big fan of Monitor Audio. My experience, both in theaters and at home is that with room EQ the difference in speakers won't matter as much as you think. Get the best L and R speakers you can afford, and let the room EQ handle the difference... | |
| I need help getting this all to work? mofi,At least the one’s I went shopping to in the high-end. Auralic was one, Aurender was another. The big Asian brands all support both. Happy to be proven wrong, since I'm 95% PC/Linux/Android here. Best,E | |
| I need help getting this all to work? The good news: You are an all Mac home, and most device makers support Mac, and not Android. Also, Auralic makes a streamer/DAC/Amp as well. | |
| I need help getting this all to work? Here's the thing. If you really want a pick up your phone and hit play solution, you may need to forego any thought of separates. The best such solutions are receivers with built in streamers. Lots to choose from in the normal far-east market (Den... | |

| Is damping material necessary for a speaker having such a small cabinet volume? Wait.. Is this something you bought designed to be wall mounted? if so, follow manufacturer's recommendations. In a speaker enclosure, damping material lessens reflections, but also increases internal volume, so it depends. I have seen some delig... | |
| Need a preamp with tone controls! auxinput - To be fair, a large part of is that I just don’t listen to that many preamps anymore! :) :) :) The P7 is not perfect. The output of the Mytek Brooklyn direct to amps is better by a smidgen. What the P7 is for me is a good compromise for... | |
| Is damping material necessary for a speaker having such a small cabinet volume? I am confused. Are you talking about in-wall speakers? or wall mounted speakers? | |
| Need a preamp with tone controls! Sorry @lak I have no idea, never heard any of the classic series. Kal Rubenstein at Stereophile praises it though! Internally, it is a much more substantial device compared to the P5. | |
| Tekton Double Impact phase issues? FTR, I don’t mean to attack the OP. I find his questions reasonable and fair. I’m now just whining about the general FUD that has been lobbed. Sorry for the confusion. Best,E | |
| Need a preamp with tone controls! The Parasound P5 and P7 both have tone controls, but not the JC-2. The P7 is a much better pre than the P5. |
