| Been an avid HT listener Hi @dennis041992 I had several dedicated 5 channel AV systems, but found that I liked listening even to TV in Stereo. Now I have high end two channel and the center image and vocals are spot on better. It may be, as @erik_squires states, that ... | |
| Gain level on a REL sub I know this is basic, and I know we all know this, but MAKE SURE your main speakers are in phase. I bought a new integrated to take to my vaca home, and pulled out two cheap pairs of small speakers, to try it and compare. I accidentally wired ... | |
| Are there any recording artists you just can’t listen too? If this was about what CONCERTS to avoid, it would be Dave. I like a lot of the music, so decided to go. There are crowds of friends talking loudly and not even watching. Then, on cue, they all turn and recite the refrains yelling Ioudly. Afte... | |

| Looking to upgrade from Emotiva XPA-1 monoblocks Hi @tkn42 , I had an Emotiva XPA 2 way back when and I would never call it edgy. Dark is more what I heard. Regardless, I would think the amplification could easily be much better. For 6K I would look at a Coda stereo amp or Audionet Amp mono ... | |
| Gain level on a REL sub Thanks @highend64 . Well I am stumped. While I wholeheartedly agree one sub is not as good as two, you still should get good volume and punch out of one. For High level, you are tapping out of the amplifier outputs? How are you connecting this... | |
| So what series are you WATCHING now? Loved Slow Horses, Night Agent and The Recruit. Started Mob Town last night. | |
| Gain level on a REL sub Hello @highend64 , something doesn’t sound right to me. I am a REL fan with a pair IN two systems. But even with one, it will easily play too loud. First thing, are you sure you have the phase correct? I’m sure you know, but that is the first th... | |
| Wifi vs ethernet revisited Hey @debrajray , no need to explain your keeping the Nautilus 804's. I still have a pair of N802's and a pair of N803's in my vacation home. In my opinion, the Nautilus line were the smoothest B/W ever made. And, at 30 years, with the exception... | |
| Wifi vs ethernet revisited Hi @soix thanks and +1. I was thinking vodka, but yes! | |
| Wifi vs ethernet revisited Here is great information on Switch X and Wifi X and how this wifi has less affect on sound: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4V8ZaVv9aoM I think this explains things way better than my attempt. | |
| Standmount speaker suggestion Yes Dynaudio are detailed...but smooth and listenable. I also think they have impressive bass for their size..controlled not boomy. :) | |
| Wifi vs ethernet revisited Hello @sns, Always enjoy hearing from you! Yes clock harmonization and redundancy is an issue. It could easily be an argument for combined streamer / DAC where it would obviously be optimized. Instead, great streamers tend to have upgraded clo... | |
| Standmount speaker suggestion Hi @ullogu1, I am familiar with the B/W speakers, having owned quite a few some years ago. I recently acquired a pair of Dynaudio Contour 20i stand mounts. I am blown away and smitten! In fact so much, I am already moving up to the Dynaudio Co... |
