| Overkill for small room There are many great integrated amps out there. You don’t need to do separates, particularly if that is cost prohibitive. | |
| Overkill for small room Good advice about room treatment. I would suggest getting a mic and using something like REW to measure your room before treating it, and measure after treatment installation. Or you could use dsp or Dirac or some other digital room correction. ... | |
| Overkill for small room Here is a good explanation of damping factor https://us.kef.com/blogs/news/damping-factor-explained#:~:text=Damping%20factor%20is%20a%20specification,quick%20tutorial%20is%20in%20order. It is a combination of the amp and speaker and it applies r... | |
| Qobuz vs Tidal I have both but listen to Tidal more often. I don’t hear a difference between the two but honestly I haven’t done a critical listening session to compare them. | |
| How would you spend my next $5K? Second sub was the first thing that popped into my head. Then I read the responses and saw that I was not the only one. I added two subs to my setup and it added something really special to the soundstage and imaging. I don’t know if you can pu... | |
| Overkill for small room I have a smaller room than yours and am running Fritz Rev7 SEs. They have a similar size footprint, woofer, frequency response, as well as being rear ported. I know it’s not the same speaker but I do not think you will overload the room with bas... | |
| Are You a Swifty? Not a fan. I agree with @bigtwin, spin up some Joni Mitchell. But, I do not begrudge her any success she’s had or condescend to any of her fans. I don’t get it but I don’t have to. | |
| Whats playing on your system today? Playlist of the first six Steely Dan albums. | |
| Stolen property Sorry, I couldn’t resist being snarky. I don’t know how you could know but if you’re thinking there’s something not quite right then don’t make the purchase. @bigshutterbug mentioned some possible red flags. | |
| Stolen property Check to see if they are still in your house? | |
| JL Audio Fathom @rauliruegas you keep saying the same thing over and over without explaining what you mean. There is also no 1.1ohm impedance in the curve for the Sabrina that I have seen. Sorry, I'm hijacking this thread and I don't want to do that. I underst... | |
| JL Audio Fathom @rauliruegas I’m not entirely sure of what you are saying. You mentioned low impedance as a limiting factor that the Mac can’t handle then switched to the autoformers can’t recreate the frequency without some sort of coloration. I have an admitted... | |
| JL Audio Fathom @rauliruegas where does the Sabrina go as low as 1.1 ohms? I’ve seen 2+ but not anything as low as you state. I think the MA8950 would drive them well just as @upstateaudiophile says as it will drive 2,4,8 ohm loads with 200W regardless of which t... | |
| I am about to embark on my next upgrade journey When I read this post and saw the Sopra 1 mentioned I thought of recommending the Fritz speakers. So a third recommendation for them. I recently listened to the Sopra 1 and it has nothing on the Fritz Rev 7 SEs I have. The Sopra is certainly a ... | |
