| How much reality do you really need? Only issue I have with the question is the lack of clarity around the word reality. After all, if my room goes from being a silent chamber to being filled with sound, that’s about as real as could be hoped for. Real in the most basic sense of "som... | |
| Quadratic Diffusers @mijostyn I was already given a couple of diffusers which are doing a great job. I'm interested in adding a few more given the current evidence I have that they work. I'm thinking about a diffuser able to operate in two dimensions. | |
| Pet Peeve -- why do headphone companies make the LEFT and RIGHT symbols so hard to locate OP, I agree.Also a capital crime: small stickers on every stupid piece of fruit.I think we have the beginnings of a political platform. | |
| Quadratic Diffusers Thanks folks. Two interesting options. I think I'd rather find plans and save the money on the kit by buying it all myself. If that would work out, $$ wise. | |
| Raven Blackhawk LE... am I going to be disappointed? Never said you or anyone cannot build a beautiful satisfying and excellent sounding system with 87dB or whatever speakers. Simply said you are making it unnecessarily hard on yourself to take that approach.It's only "unnecessarily hard" if there's... | |
| Raven Blackhawk LE... am I going to be disappointed? +1 @decooney A preference thing. Not an objective best thing. Exactly. There must be synergy (weasel word but valid in its weasel way) but beyond that preference. Trial and error. | |
| Raven Blackhawk LE... am I going to be disappointed? @millercarbon Sorry about the word "proselytizing." That word implies that a certain way of doing things is the only best way.So, would you agree that high efficiency speakers are only one "best" way to go?Or would you agree that moderate efficien... | |
| Raven Blackhawk LE... am I going to be disappointed? @millercarbon I worked out the math which said I didn’t have enough power. But what I also learned was that there is a much wider range of possibilities than you would accept. There are many reviewers and forum folks have found a lot of success w... | |

| Raven Blackhawk LE... am I going to be disappointed? Interesting path. You had Carreras and then Salks and the Belles Aria wasn’t doing it so you got a 20 watt tube amp to go with the speakers; but it wasn’t enough power so you’re now getting rid of the speakers to go with the amp? Is that what happ... | |
| Arrangement of components on rack Appreciate the knowledge here. One thing which I did not look ahead to when I was buying cables was how to arrange things. It turns out to be a very tricky balancing act -- one wants separation between this or that, and one also wants to have good... | |
| Most important fundamentals in your built/modded listening room? Great idea! Gotta figure out where that might be. | |
| Tube Flavor @performance_series Thanks for your comment. I think it takes a village to keep civility alive. @b_limo The more I think about it, the more I'm wondering if the Raven will give your Salks what they need for best performance. Hope you can report! | |
| Most important fundamentals in your built/modded listening room? Thanks -- a combination of boxing in some things within the ceiling and leaving other things exposed would be fine, especially if all is covered by a homogenous screen of some kind (fabric).A redivision of the room is possible but depends on many ... | |
| Tube Flavor @jerryg123 The recipe for becoming a "lonely old man" it to be mean and impolite as a younger one. There's a difference between disagreeing with someone or pointing out their mistakes and demeaning them or calling them names. Yes, I have "sensibil... |
