| Real world Loudspeakers what does very good cost ? There are lots of good speakers under $10k, they are just ignored on this sight. | |

| Are you interested in the new generation of "old school" design loudspeakers? In theory I would like some good old school horns… but sadly I have not found any I like yet. I keep it on the back burner of things to buy one day. | |
| Are big subwoofers viable for 2 channel music? JBL SUB18. Peak output of 137db and gets pretty low while doing it, Pretty nuts. https://jblpro.com/products/sub18 https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1221512-REG/jbl_sub18_high_output_studio_subwoofer.html | |
| Warning for Revel lovers Audiowatchfreak, I doubt the revel will wow you on first listen. They are a somewhat laid back speaker in room and are east to listen to with no real fault. I would curb your exceptions to be wowed but they could easily be a “last” speaker as ... | |
| Are big subwoofers viable for 2 channel music? Honestly I have thought of this same issue. I also have a large basement setup that is 95% two channel and 5% home theater. I have looked at large home theater subs (JTR captivator etc.) online and read up on them but almost no one uses them for t... | |
| Used vs. new The 804D is not near as good to my ear as the 802D3. The bass output and slam is not even close. Mids are more open on the 802D3 too. The 803D3 always lacked bass to my ear however. now I did not really hear the port noise but the measurements... | |
| Warm, Lush Laid-Back Smaller Floor Standers? What is your budget? Also have you thought about trying a computer as a source and just using some EQ? Might be worth a try if you have a laptop around. I had similar issues with all the speakers I owned. Running two subs highpassed helped a ... | |
| Moving on from Parasound P5 Dac or Preamp The benchmark is fine. It is more of a clean clear sound than expansive soundstage type of DAC. It has noticeably strong bass impact. I would say this is entry level highend… they have a 30 day trial so no risk. I like bench mark better than Wyre... | |
| Subwoofer Choice Bound4h. it does not look like the Michi will support the CR-1 crossover. You would need an amp input. Does the michi have bass management built in? Looks like it has a sub out. | |
| Power cord - 5 ft vs 10 ft ? Currently I am running a 25’ exertion cord to my subs from the back of the room because of a weird ground loop issue I can’t shake. I guess that puts me in the power cords don’t matter camp lol. | |
| Rell or JL subwoofer? Mariobeniteziv, what do you not like about the F112? Sound wise I think they are pretty solid. | |
| We should reject hard-to-drive speakers more often While I don’t disagree but people want small speakers and deep bass so that in turn makes them hard to drive. They often wire multiple bass drivers in parallel which drops the impedance too I have owned 86db speakers and 91db speakers and don’... | |
| Older Revel vs Newer Magicos Trust your own ears. I have heard the Salon 2 many times but never the Studio 2. Keep in mind the “2” is much better than the original. Anyway I think the Salon 2 is without flaw. Spending major money can get you more resolution through better p... | |
| JL Audio CR-1 Crossover Ozzy, good to hear… or not to hear lol. Not sure if I would use the damping or not of the CR-1 or not. The E112 subs have a stripped down version of what the CR-1 does. I am trying to get a handle on how much cleaner it is. The issue with pass... |
