| Sub Wiring Rewired things this morning- all is right in the world. Probably no difference soundwise, but a little neater for sure. Thanks for the replies. | |
| What do you all think of ADS/Braun speakers? I had 3 different pair- loved them back in the day. I think they’d still compete today soundwise. | |
| Why Streaming Service Sounds ‘Flat’ vs Tune In /Local FM /Radio Paradise Just saw Erik’s post after mine- no, I listen at various levels, and rarely very low. Average 75db, and into the 90’s at times. I’ll mention ‘The Jazz Groove’ as one of the Tune In stations that sounds quite good. My 900.00 Pro-Ject turntable com... | |
| Why Streaming Service Sounds ‘Flat’ vs Tune In /Local FM /Radio Paradise OK- so what would be a step in the right direction as a streamer? I use a Luxman integrated L-590AXll, Spatial M3 Turbo S speakers, and an Esoteric K-07X CD player that doubles as my DAC. I know that’s a wide open question, but maybe to narrow i... | |

| 2 subs connected to a 2 channel amp? IF I’m reading you correctly- you have a pair of speakers, and a pair of subs, one sub dedicated to each speaker. If so, you need a speaker wire to to each speaker, and a speaker wire to each sub. The sub may have two inputs ( two positive, two n... | |
| "High end speaker covers" do we need them? At first I saw this thread title and said ‘not another way to waste my money’. Then I thought of all the times I’ve had work done at my house- different rooms, etc., that involved sanding, shop vacs, etc… I honestly don’t know that I’d definitely ... | |
| NY audio show 2022 I will agree with someone that said he was disappointed in getting a two day pass. It was a small show, but getting to see/hear different equipment was great. I liked the Audio Note room- they were playing real music. The GT Audio room sounded p... | |
| After years of separates, I'm going integrated. Anyone else do the same? I’m also in the camp of downsizing with no regrets. Had separates of varying pedigree since 1995, and went to a Luxman 590AXII 4 years ago. Headphone amp, phono stage, tone controls, great, great sound… I didn’t audition any other integrated b... | |
| Those who seek to deny access to information I’m not sure if this is what you’re looking for, but it’s a smaller forum with some knowledgeable folk, and zero attitude. No one engages in battle over audio. No question is derided or belittled. Check it out. https://www.audionervosa.com | |
| CDs And Green Markers. Please Don’t Laugh. Funny thing is, every disc that I treated with ‘CD Stoplight’ sounds great. They are still among my collection, and I very well may have treated those that I thought sounded good in the first place- so confirmation bias or something like that? Li... | |
| Spatial X5 speakers FWIW, I have the Taket Batpro 2 supertweeters on top of my Spatial M3 Turbos, and use a couple of pea sized pieces of Mortite- it’s a rope caulk similar to Blu-tack. It’s held firmly in place for three months and counting. You can’t even tell it’s... | |
| Recommendations for speakers with Luxman 509x https://legacyaudio.com/products/view/signature-seNot at all clinical sounding and designed for closer wall placement. You’ll certainly get a lot of recommendations, so best of luck. My system is also in my living room- it can be harder to place e... | |
| ezcrossover contact info You’re probably way ahead of me, but I know he advertised his services on the AC website at the GR Research circle. Maybe try him through there. | |
| sensitivity question I will say this regarding speaker specs- I recently auditioned two speakers in my home- one manufacturer (Wharfedale Linton) stated the sensitivity at 90 db, the other (SVS Prime Pinnacle) 88 db. The SVS played louder for a given volume level, and... |
