| Listening without interpretation...is it impossible? @middlemass Contemplate your navel? Are you up to it? @sns "Are non-audiophiles non-audiophiles simply because they don't speak our language, or is something inherent to them?" I think it has to do with vocabulary but also where they place th... | |
| Listening without interpretation...is it impossible? It is hardly earth shattering but the number of posts I see where people say just listen as if there was some way of getting back to an original pure experience that is not polluted by what people say may strike some as the antithesis of what they... | |
| Listening without interpretation...is it impossible? Interesting replies! @frogman Since none of us have a private language all our own, the very words we use to describe what we hear (to ourselves) are part of what others say. Your comment about the importance of developing a meaningful audiophile... | |
| Try a sub a third in the back @oldhvymec Thanks for the suggestion. I'm saving this into my "subwoofer" file. Until I move into a new room (it's built but kids are still in it with their game stuff) I won't be adding a fourth sub or make other sub changes. | |

| Try a sub a third in the back I have a REL R328 and bought two matching Rythmiks to put at the front. I figured I'd try the REL behind the listening chair and then go ahead and sell it. No way! I'm keeping it for exactly the effects you described, plus it helps smooth out the ... | |

| Speaker shootout question -- do you position the same or differently, depending? Thanks for posting graphs. Very interesting and great improvements! @djones51 Nice graph! Any DSP? Agree about starting without treatments and building up. | |
| Speaker shootout question -- do you position the same or differently, depending? @djones51 I agree with your comments about both red and blue plots. I think the blue plot represents a great improvement over the red one, but I'd like to try to get it to where you describe and then take a listen. I have not measured at 3 feet. ... | |
| I'm confused - Different music...different speakers? It's always tricky to pin things on one factor, such as a tweeter. But different tweeters do have different characters, at least for me. I've moved toward ribbons over metal tweeters. Focal 936s were too bright for me, and Dyn Evoke 30 soft domes ... | |
| Speaker shootout question -- do you position the same or differently, depending? @djones51 That’s a measurement of an Ascend Sierra Tower with RAAL tweeter along with 2 Rythmic subs and a REL 328 sub, in well treated room. The speaker measured much differently in a different position and without subs or treatment. Can you say... | |
| Speaker shootout question -- do you position the same or differently, depending? @snilf @snilf Good suggestions. I have a backup Adcom amp with A & B speaker sets. I could quick switch with those. Of course, the speakers would be coming through the Adcom rather than my tube amps, and couldn’t use my better speaker cables, ... |
