| Bookshelf speakers that pair well with Decware ZMA Looks like I’ll definitely have to read up on the Fritz and Ref 3a de Capo options. I’d heard of Fritz but never seen or heard a pair and didn’t know anything about the Ref 3A’s. Good to hear from a couple of you that the DeVore 3XLs and Dynaudio ... | |
| Angle of Sonus Faber Olympica I stands? I realized I might have to adjust, but the stands definitely have a significant rake so I figured rather than starting flat I’d start from that angle. you can clearly see it in the side profile photos …perhaps I can just print out an... | |
| Speakers need to be placed close to back wall. Help Aerial acoustic 5T are designed for being close to the wall | |
| Help me choose speakers Zero chance I’m getting into the Sonos ecosystem when I have several other systems in the house that already are configured for multiroom functionality without Sonos. I also plan to add a turntable back to the living room when my kids get old enou... | |
| Speaker positioning: why do audiophiles neglect this so much? Perfect speaker and listening position may not be inexpensive in the long run… it could end up costing half of everything you own plus alimony ;). Nearly all systems require some compromises to be made (budget, room size, placement limitations, ho... | |
| Best custom photo acoustic panels Thanks a lot, everybody. I knew this forum wouldn’t let me down. Will check out a few of those sites/companies. The one I initially found didn’t have a preview so I was a little worried about the fit along with the pixilation issue some of you not... | |
| Dog Owners, Do Subwoofers And Loud Noises From Your Home Theater Bother Your Dog? I’ve had 4 large dogs since having a decent home theatre setup. One will sometimes leave and go sleep on a bed in the guest room if he’s annoyed. The others couldn’t care less. If a show or movie has a doorbell sound, lookout though… guess that me... | |
| Most beautiful turntable under $5k I probably should have expected all the votes for vintage tables, but honestly didn’t. Glad to check out a few that were off my radar and be reminded of the beauty with some of the classics as well. I have definitely had my eye on that MoFi/Fend... | |
| Speakers for small room Those are in-wall rather than on-wall speakers. Just making sure he knows he would need to cut the drywall and mount those into it rather than just securing it to the face of the wall… I have in-wall speakers in my basement and had them in the liv... | |
| Bookshelf Speaker For Outdoors I wouldn’t permanently install anything outdoors that isn’t designed for it, but I live in a climate that gets both >100 F and subzero temps. If your local climate is mild enough and they stay 100% dry, you might have better luck, but it seems ... | |

| Upgrade from NAD3020i If you’re using a receiver as a pre-amp, then you’d probably get more improvement from an integrated than a power amp alone. I would go integrated unless this is an interim step towards a full separates setup with new pre-amp later. | |
| Speakers for small room Minimum frequency on those is 110hz and 100hz, respectively. That means your subwoofer will need to be set high enough to avoid missing those 80-110hz frequencies (80hz being a more common low pass setting than what you’d need with these). Make su... | |
| Looking for small active STEREO speakers I can throw in a carry on bag and travel with Not going to lie, you’re probably best with a decent pair of headphones and small headphone dac/amp. No small active speakers will get you the same quality, full-range sound as a decent headphone setup. Headphones will also be smaller and lighter ... | |
| Speakers for small room Lots of companies make slim on-wall speaker options. I haven’t heard many but would suggest choosing an option that extends below 80hz at a minimum because it will make integrating the subwoofer easier. Frequencies below 80hz will be less easily l... |
