| Efficient speakers -- What was your journey from A to B to ? @jonwolfpell Thanks for your experiences. It's helpful to hear how things change. @deep_333 One would be surprised how little power the "supposedly inefficient" ear candy speakers actually use at deafness inducing spl levels. I'm not ignoran... | |
| Why Music Is Good For The Brain @noromance I understand "brain" as a scientific model, a mockup for explanatory and predictive purposes -- a reduction, or better, a neuroreductionism. I'm more convinced that what we term the "mind" emerges from interaction among brain, yes, but ... | |
| Why Music Is Good For The Brain I hate it when people talk about the "brain" in order to make an argument about the our minds, personalities, moods, etc. It's a way of argument-by-physiology and if you talk to genuine neuroscientists (as I do) they will tell you what bunk it is. | |
| Efficient speakers -- What was your journey from A to B to ? @ditusa I've read about this distinction before, but obviously it didn't take! You can tell this is out of my area! I appreciate the reminders and the links. Thank you! | |
| Is toeing speakers a bad idea? | |
| Single input tube preamp @mashif In my search I came across the Quicksilver Line Stage preamp. This is an excellent preamp. I owned this for a while and it's reliable, sounds great. I wanted to move on from it because I heard preamps based around the 6SN7 tube and I l... | |
| Another post about a streamer upgrade @2psyop IMO the two most important factors in sound quality with regard to streaming has been the quality of the external DAC I have used and the quality of the original recording being streamed. This strikes me as correct. Many people tout ... | |
| Efficient speakers -- What was your journey from A to B to ? @wolf_garcia Thanks for weighing in. I always learn from your experience! @drewportland I'll take a look. Great idea! | |
| Efficient speakers -- What was your journey from A to B to ? Thanks to posters for the additional ideas! @vthokie83 There are some of these, nearby me: https://tmraudio.com/speakers/floorstanding-speakers/tannoy-definition-dc10a-floorstanding-speakers-gloss-black-pair/ Heard them? | |
| Efficient speakers -- What was your journey from A to B to ? @ozzy62 Thanks. You're surely right those details matter more with horns. I wonder as @doyle3433 points out whether the Volti is more forgiving/flexible than the Klipsch (modern versions -- good point you made about that, too). | |
| Building a dedicated listening room Once you figure out the room, learn REW. | |
| Efficient speakers -- What was your journey from A to B to ? @trivema The Klipsch I’ve heard have sounded a bit shouty and harsh. I bet this was due to (a) poor synergy between speaker and amp(s) and likely (b) lack of good room acoustics. I am hoping my next speaker adventure does not immediately launc... | |
| Efficient speakers -- What was your journey from A to B to ? Anyone try Blumenhofer? https://www.blumenhofer-acoustics.com/Products/SerieGenuin/GenuinFS1-3/GenuinFS1-3.php | |
| Efficient speakers -- What was your journey from A to B to ? @decooney +1000 on that question! | |
| Single input tube preamp There's an LTA Microzotl with two input tubes on USAM in your price range, and it comes with a linear power supply. The seller seems to have a great reputation. (I am not him/her.) That might be your answer. Very solid and well regarded product. |
