| I'm curious. What is your "normal" listening volume? 45-65db at my chair 8ft from speakers. I rarely feel the need to turn it up louder cause it just sounds right at those levels. | |
| Just about to pull the trigger on Pontus 15th ... Like @2psyop i enjoy my Pontus II 12th immensely. I would buy it again. Not having heard the Laiv I would still purchase the Pontus 15th over it given my experience. | |

| Comparing speakers at home questions If I were comparing I would pick one and listen to them for several days getting to know how they sound then switch. In my experience, A/B switching doesn’t work well for me. Unless the speakers are glaringly different, in which case A/B testing... | |

| I’m considering upgrading my speakers internal wiring @erik_squires i was just thinking the same thing. Seems like you love your speakers and just want to tinker. If it were me I would tinker with a kit. Scratch the itch by building a kit speaker where you can use whatever components you want. In ... | |
| Qobuz vs Tidal @ronboco i was able to export/import my Tidal playlists, artists, and songs into Qobuz using Soundiiz. At least I think that was the software. It was really easy to do. | |
| Qobuz vs Tidal I have both and can not tell a difference between the two. I’ve compared many times using the same track on the same recording. | |
| Best Exercise To Improve Capability Of Handling Heavy Amps If you’re seriously asking this question then squats, dead-lifts, core exercises, bicep curls, pushups. If you’re going to the gym ask a trainer or hire one for a couple of sessions and ask. He/she can show you the correct exercises and form. D... |
