| Speaker recommendations welcomed Your room is pretty massive. I don't think a lot of these recommendations are really going to fill out a room like that. Big room, need big speakers, simple physics In my similarly sized room, I love my tekton double impacts. Yes they have sev... | |
| Case in point: a $90,000 power cord by ASUNZ I can see all points here. Yes 90k is ridiculous. Yes it's their choice it's a free country. Yes it would be better spent elsewhere, as someone said you can buy a pretty insane system for 90k and there are a lot of people and causes in need. I... | |
| Tough Nut Cones Isolation for loudspeakers, brilliant solution over spikes @soix nice I didn't get a chance to watch that so I appreciate that info! | |
| Tough Nut Cones Isolation for loudspeakers, brilliant solution over spikes It would be interesting to hear someone compare these to something like the Gaia Isoacoustics isolators. People swear by them but I hate shelling out that much for footers | |
| Speakers "Too Big" for room I think you will most likely be just fine! I have friends with smaller rooms and bigger speakers and it sounds great. Be bold! And enjoy your system! | |
| Room Treatments - ATS Corner Bass Trap Agreed with @kevinzoe , although I have no experience with membrane traps. Filling your rear corners are top priorities for trapping, with as much as you can get in there loosely (using R19 or R13 type stuff, the fluffy kind) and then covering wi... | |
| Anyone have experience with Cardas Parsec power cables? @v-fi I may just do that. Free trials. In other words audio rabbit holes that keep me from work. Gotcha 😂 | |
| Anyone have experience with Cardas Parsec power cables? @v-fi I've heard good things about Veritas but haven't ever had a chance to demo. I'll make sure I keep an eye out for one of those locally to try. Thanks for the info | |
| Anyone have experience with Cardas Parsec power cables? Yea I'm sure synergy is the key here. My system is super resolute and has plenty of air and detail so maybe it likes the warmth. Or maybe it is a dynamic system, so having cabling that matches the flavor makes it shine. Hard to say exactly. An... | |
| What decibel level do you listen at? What is ideal? @jonwolfpell agreed, Pass designs like my XA30.8 are totally sufficient at lower wattages even for higher spl listening. I also have subs which really helps take the strain off the amps. I've blasted it loud as hell and haven't seen the needle ... | |
| What decibel level do you listen at? What is ideal? @larsman you should get an actual db meter. There's almost no way you're actually listening that low. Your app is probably messed up unless you like library volume level soft rock @jonwolfpell I agree that listening loud with certain genres is ... | |
| Power Help - What Conditioner - WHERE? @ghdprentice spot on If you don't have separate lines, then plug audio gear into your best conditioning device and everything else into a separate one, such as a surge protector etc. Preferably they would be on separate lines but otherwise anoth... | |
| What to upgrade from a Kef ls50 meta? I would definitely try to audition some speakers at a local hifi shop if that's available. They may even let you borrow some to try in your space before you buy. So hard for strangers in the internet to determine the right speaker for you. What... | |
| MBL Insolvent @kerrybh well said and good riposte to JasonBourne's ultimatum Ultimately value is in the eye of the beholder. I have no problem with people buying high end stuff. I know people with systems that cost more than 10x their car. Priorities and i... | |
| Streamer recommendation I agree with those saying stick with Aurender but I also like the comment to try the Wiim. It's about $300 to see if it can save you a ton. And the app rocks for sure. I suggest buying a few streamers or borrowing some from a hifi shop and see ... |
