In wall speaker help!
There are also “On wall” if that is an option?  
All In One Recommendations
Maybe Lyngdorf TDAI?  
Making speakers sound tonally similar with an equalizer
Only to an extent. One cannot overcome the passive crossover, so one can only work around that. If it s was bi-amped or tri-amped, then it is easier to get to where you describe.  
Best place to use better xlr cable
Maybe just try it and see if you can hear any difference?  
In wall speaker help!
Or run XLRs to the back and put an amp closer? Or use powered (active) speakers. Or run conduit and suck through whatever wires you need later on with a vacuum. I would do what I could to make it easier to change things later, and 50’ is a long s... 
What makes the biggest difference in sound quality?
To use the car analogy, replacing street tires on the Miata with racing slicks would help the Miata’s lap times. But if someone else has a GT3 and goes from similar street tires to racing slicks, his lap times will drop a lot farther because hi... 
At a given price point, better to go late vintage or modern?
The technology of drivers has advanced so much that new is ALWAYS better if its a properly designed speaker. There are a lot of price oriented product, as people always want a deal, always want better for less, but there are very high end drivers... 
How Big of a Difference?
I always love the "your system is not resolving enough" commentary.  Frankly, any reasonably eared person should be able to detect differences on almost any system, resolving or not, IF there is a difference. It's the delta you should be able t... 
What makes the biggest difference in sound quality?
@english210 The saying is that a Porsche differs from a porcupine because the prickly bits are on the outside of a porcupine. The miata is left to the reader to noodle out.  
Dampening Floor Vibration in Apartment
I suppose that you could start with some scraps of carpet underpayment and see if they, or you, notice anything happening before lashing out in a big way.  
turntable for daughter
My daughter has asked for a turntable for Xmas. Considering a Project Debut Carbon Evolution. Maybe a Thorens TD 190-2 if she wants automatic. any suggestions or thoughts? Not giving her my SOTA Cosmos Nor will I give mine the SOTA Saffire, bu... 
What makes the biggest difference in sound quality?
Usually both the guys in the Miata. The Porsche’s have the nickname of porcupine car, so there is also that.   
How Big of a Difference?
All I know for sure is that the specs which are rated in terms of “per foot” or “per meter”, seem to favour using monoblocks close to the speaker. So close that the speaker cables never get to the floor, always seems to work for me.   The only ... 
Other factors affecting sound
@ditusa (Relentless)… I am a bit too stiff in the back. And I could probably throw my shoulder out patting myself on the back.   I was planning to get a barn door for aesthetics, is this a bad idea? Like a Mr. Ed door? It is like windows are... 
How Big of a Difference?
Hope that helps - Steve Thanks, but I am probably a bit slow. I understand the speaker’s voltage and current draw relationship. And also the amplifier trying to get to a specific output voltage in a closed loop feedback fashion.  So it is ju...
