| REL R328 & R305 -- are these two REL subwoofers close enough as a match? Thanks, wolf. Boy there are some folks, including REL, who say subs are like speakers and have to be matched exactly. But the reasons against that are quite convincing. It’s not an expensive experiment to do, however. | |
| Best small, desktop speakers, $500 or under (new or used) Those mentions of Dyn excites remind me how much I loved the Dyn evoke 10. I know some are older models, but how do they differ? What did Dyn change in the bookshelves, to your knowledge? | |
| Best small, desktop speakers, $500 or under (new or used) Is the R series much better than the he q series? | |
| Best small, desktop speakers, $500 or under (new or used) Thanks, guys. The NHT sound interesting.125 responses to a $500 or less speaker. You’re overthinking this My ManMaybe I already bought some speakers.Maybe I just like to watch the monkeys dance. | |
| REL R328 & R305 -- are these two REL subwoofers close enough as a match? @usery Thanks for your reply. It looks very tricky for your situation. Do you think 10 years is old for a sub? It's priced way under MSRP...Thanks for thinking about this with me. | |
| REL R328 & R305 -- are these two REL subwoofers close enough as a match? I think that was a serious comment. (Hard to tell sometimes.) If so, do you think that 10 years is too old for a sub? The one I'm considering is 10years old but has been checked out. | |
| REL R328 & R305 -- are these two REL subwoofers close enough as a match? I have not gotten responses here, but responses vary elsewhere. Rel says they should match exactly. Others have said they don't have to match if they're close. A very confusing topic. | |
| Best small, desktop speakers, $500 or under (new or used) @canibefrank -- it's great to talk about options in audio when the constraints and functions are fairly defined.@superultramegaHere’s an indication about size of speakers and distance from wall for ports — Here’s an example of TOO LARGE:PARADIGM M... | |

| Best small, desktop speakers, $500 or under (new or used) NHT and KEF -- really thinking about them.@b_limo http://www.hifi-classic.net/review/pinnacle-pn5-plus--452.html$149 in 1986 = $350 today.Of course, look at some ELAC speakers at the lower price points; many say these are doing a far better job t... | |
| Best small, desktop speakers, $500 or under (new or used) The pinnacle speakers are disappointing but they are not so terrible that I might not keep them for home theater surround. They are decent but not great. I am hoping that for focused and near-field listening I can do better with a newer speaker as... | |
| TOSLINK OPTICAL cables I hooked up my CD transport and compared good coax to inexpensive Toslink, then switched back and forth to try to hear a difference. I cannot say I heard one. Others will have different views, I’m sure, but what I’d like to learn is why different ... | |
| Best small, desktop speakers, $500 or under (new or used) The NHT sounds interesting. Their website suggests 100 wpc for amps and the speakers are 85 db. I have a 60 w amp but won’t be listening that loudly...hmmm. I have heard and like the Atoms. In both cases, these choices don’t seem all that much bet... | |
| How Do You Live The Audiophile Life I found Robert Harley's book helpful.I also joined the Colorado Audio Society. There is advice in the group and, when not social distancing, monthly get togethers to hear different member's systems. This is a great way to hear gear in a home at di... | |
| Have you ever used a separate speaker selector unit to audition speakers? Would you? @teo_audio Thanks for this sensible comment, which echoes others:If you find that you can’t tell the differences between the two, unless you had a switcher for instantaneous switching, then they are close sounding to one another.... close enough t... |
