| Looking for a good Bluetooth speaker JBL Flip or Charge models. Multiple ones to choose from. Excellent sound quality. JBL touts the waterproof capabilities, though I’m not sure about it floating. A number of friends and myself do love the sound quality. | |
| Volume demands for crossover change It may seem contradictory, but it’s usually amps with not enough power that damage speakers. You have no such issue- you have an amp that puts out 300 wpc into 8 ohms, and 500 wpc into 4 ohms. Even if those specs are optimistic, you’ve got it cove... | |
| Volume demands for crossover change https://www.manualslib.com/manual/600202/Nht-Vt-1a.htmlThe manual does show a 3db difference in sensitivity between the two settings. Every 3db drop in sensitivity requires twice as much amplifier power. I’m not sure exactly how that would manifes... | |
| Between a Node 2i and DAC: Does Coax cable quality really matter? I have a Node 2i, and recently upgraded the coax SPDIF cable and there certainly was an improvement to my ears. I went from a budget Blue Jeans Cable to a Kimber D60. You’re starting from a higher plateau, but the question was will I hear a differ... | |
| Open Letter To REL, SVS, Hsu, etc., et al Thank you. | |
| Open Letter To REL, SVS, Hsu, etc., et al Sure thing drussell. Those tracks are exactly what will be helpful. I’ve been using a cd from Alan Parsons- ‘Sound Check’ from ‘93. It gives some CD players fits- it has 92 tracks, and navigating them can be a pain. Small quirks make it less than ... | |
| Open Letter To REL, SVS, Hsu, etc., et al I forgot this is Audiogon, where no snide or snarky comment goes untyped. | |
| Open Letter To REL, SVS, Hsu, etc., et al Thank you drussell. | |
| Open Letter To REL, SVS, Hsu, etc., et al I thought about the cd player thing as I was writing- I added the mention of the major streaming services further down in my post figuring that. I bought my first sub circa 2000, and have bought at least one from each of the above companies over t... | |
| Need Some Ideas/Thoughts for Speakers for New Luxman 590axii Ah... I have the amp- and I’ve tried a few different speakers. One thing is- it will drive most any load- several reviews with measurements attest to this. It was spectacular with Legacy Focus SE with the latest AMT tweeter. It IS spectacular with... | |
| Critical subwoofer tip I recently purchased a sub to augment the bottom end of my Spatial M3 open baffle speakers. Due to domestic constraints, one sub is all I will have in the living room. The sub is front firing, and placed about 18” from the rear of the Spatial. If ... | |
| Single driver speakers. Are they worth considering ? At RMAF there is a guy who always sets up in the lobby area, and uses Voxativ driver based speakers. He doesn’t play them loudly, but I remember thinking- I’ll be damned if that doesn’t sound EXACTLY like a piano. Every time I went by, same impres... | |
| PSB - Stratus Gold(i) vs Totem Acoustic - Sky towers I have compared the two- unfortunately in different rooms- mine, and my friend’s living rooms. They both sound great, and honestly, when I had my original Golds, I probably did not feed them amplification as well as they deserved. My friend’s Gold... | |
| Gershman Acoustics Inspiration I’ll pony up 20 bucks. You pay shipping. I have great feedback. Buy an ad. | |
| unbeatable Class A integrated I can’t debate the merits and demerits of the various classes of amps out there, as I’ve not heard that many, and I’ve certainly never heard them AB’d. What I can assuredly say is that the Luxman L590 AX Mk2 made by far the most positive change in... |
