Dog pissed on speaker
Make the color uniform again by pissing on both speakers. Drink a few beers so you can get a solid stream of foamy urine and really soak'em down. That should also change the odor. Just don't eat any asparagus prior to pissing. That would be bad. ... 
Are there other people like me ? Amazed by their low cost system :)
The main reason I go to audio shows is so I can have a reference to compare my system to. You get to listen to expensive and professionally tuned systems and determine where your system stands. If you don't listen to other systems how could you po... 
The D'Appolito, MTM Configuration
What speakers appeared on Stereophile cover? Too many to mention them all. Most recently did a pair of SVS Ultra for a friend. A classic design that sounds incredibly good for a very reasonable price.  
Subwoofer speed is in the room, not the box
@mijostyn  Your subs look great. Are they push/pull or dual opposed?  Have you ever tried precast concrete tubes? FYI..I don't use REL subs. I just use that crossover/volume method. My experience has yielded a great end result that's cheaper and... 
Subwoofer speed is in the room, not the box
@audiokinesis Did you ask any of them why they chose to not high-pass filter their main speakers?  Yes. The majority of the speakers were very capable of producing strong, impactful bass without using a sub. So, they were fed the full unrestric... 
Subwoofer speed is in the room, not the box
@mijostyn Rel is only interested in selling as many subwoofers as they can. Their method of implementation is worse than silly.  Is it just REL you think is silly or are all sub manufacturers silly? I just came back from the Tampa audio show a... 
Anybody going to the Florida International Audio Expo in Tampa?
I'm going on Saturday.    
The Best Bass Ever? A Subwoofer Discovery
FYI... you can just take a rolled up piece of paper and insert half inside the port tube and extend the length of the tube. Open breathing, no restriction and no more one note bloat sound. Straws also eliminate the bloat note and allow for open br... 
The Best Bass Ever? A Subwoofer Discovery
Great experiment! Anything placed in the port tube will disrupt the airflow and inhibit the resonance tuning from occurring. Altering the air flow in the port removes that 'bloated' one note bloom from occurring yet still allows the speaker full ...

@sfgak  Dali Epicon 6   Exceptional!!  They are rated to 32.5hz with VERY high tech woofers. You cut them @70hz?    
Preamp advice
@p05129   +1 Totally agree.   
Subwoofer speed is in the room, not the box
@erik_squires  @phusis  Just for clarification, I used your suggested high pass method for several years described in the article below. I worked directly with Barry so I'm VERY familiar with it. However, as committed as I was, I never achieved ... 
for streaming why not computer/galvanic isolation/DAC clock?
Streamers are just expensive computers. Mini Mac does a great job. I use Audirvana (highly recommended) to bypass the computers internal sound card using Exclusive mode. Works great!  
This weekend, Feb. 16-18th - 2024 Florida International Audio Expo
I'm there on Saturday!!! Can't wait! Then Ybor city for dinner at Bernini.  
Subwoofer speed is in the room, not the box
@phusis  most advantageous crossover point to subs typically sits somewhere between 80-120Hz handing over to the upper bass area. Subs sounding "boomy" are most likely badly implemented and/or badly designed/constructed or simply too small.  ...
