I'm confused - Different music...different speakers?
Perhaps it's the 1″ / 2.54 cm alloy dome metal tweeter.  
Speaker shootout question -- do you position the same or differently, depending?
FWIW, "roughly" optimal position is not an oxymoron. We can call it "nearly optimal" if you prefer. The point is that if one is using REW for SPL and Impulse, there are various levels of precision one can get -- within 8 db, at this or that freque... 
Speaker shootout question -- do you position the same or differently, depending?
@riley804 No, it's not my first time. Far from it. But I did two sweeps with REW with the speakers in exactly the same position and the differences between them was very interesting. I recognize that finding the optimal position is, well, optimal.... 
Devore or Audio Note or other sensitive speakers: wanting to listen in Denver
@markhh2  Thank you! I appreciate your reply.

Deleting this accidentally duplicate thread. Thanks for your replies.  
Speaker shootout question -- do you position the same or differently, depending?
I agree with finding the optimal position. I agree that any one pair should be removed to get out of the other pair's way.  Johnny, not sure what you mean by "The room dictates the best position not the given speaker" since it would be room-AND-s... 
Suggestions for sturdy sub $2,000 audio rack
I contacted a local woodworker and he is building me a maple rack with 3" and 2" shelves for $1250, two shelves, nice and low. If I wanted a third shelf, it would be a bit more, but still well under $2k.  
Suggest your most desired MSRP $1,500-$3,000 Stand Mount for a Shootout.
My Salk SS6M's clock in at $3795 but I found them comparable to the Fritz Carrera's. Oh well!  
How important Is shielding with RCA wires? (Ethan Winer, new video)
@audio-union Thanks for your extended discussion of my question. I had not thought of some of the things you mention regarding Democratic and Republic science. You might enjoy that book. It was recommended to me by the former Chair of Biology at C... 
How important Is shielding with RCA wires? (Ethan Winer, new video)
@audio-union Thanks for your informative post. What would your definition of "real science" be? How would you put that into words? Asking seriously, not snarkily. Am currently reading a classic in the history of science, The Edge of Objectivity ... 
How important Is shielding with RCA wires? (Ethan Winer, new video)
@decooney  Thanks -- you're engaging his claims. Appreciated. @thyname I never said your comment was an insult. I said your comment was ad hominem. In particular, it is a circumstantial ad hominem with an implicit appeal to motive. It's a fallacy... 
How important Is shielding with RCA wires? (Ethan Winer, new video)
@thyname Another ad hominem. That provides some insight but not about the video or its creator.  This video has gotten over 1k views in less than a day. As we saw in the Prima Luna vs. Raven video, the introduction of facts in the service of argu...

@jjss49 LOL. I'm not sure we're above self-harm at this point. Kind of like our country.  
How important Is shielding with RCA wires? (Ethan Winer, new video)
@ted_denney  I've had my share of arguments with Ethan but here he's conducted and experiment in the service of an argument. I was hoping for a discussion of the experiment, the argument, perhaps the larger issue. Instead, you attack him personall... 
Got an itch to buy some new stand mount speakeras
I’ve come to have a lot of respect for Ascend. Well run, sell direct company. I'm currently testing out the same RAAL tweeter on some Ascend towers, and so far I like the air, clarity, but no metal tweeter brightness. Given you budget, I hesitate...
