| Which types of speakers are ideal against a wall? You can certainly design a speaker that goes against a wall, and you can certainly market a speaker as "placement friendly", but physics is physics, and the longer wavelengths are just going to interact with the room and create resonance problems ... | |
| One Only Please- Your Favorite Track from which album and Artist please Bach/Goldberg/Gould/1956/Columbia. It was conceived as a single piece, beginning and ending with an aria, so I consider it as a complete work of art and a singular expression of artistry (not to be defined by "tracks").Magnificent and sublime pas... | |
| Help for an Old School Audiophile Start with a Tidal subscription and your smartphone. There are a number of ways to get the files to your hifi, the easiest being wireless internet. If you have an iPhone, an old Airport Express works great, if android, buy a used Chromecast audio.... | |
| Which types of speakers are ideal against a wall? If your decor dictates speaker placement, I would highly recommend digital signal processing. | |
| Which types of speakers are ideal against a wall? The ports have nothing to do with it, other than contolling volume and efficiency. The bass wavelengths are longer than your room.I would advise moving your subs around until you get a balanced bass response with the least room resonance. You sh... | |
| Amp for Harbeth P3ESR and Cambridge Audio Azur 851N I ended up with an Odyssey Khartego. Have Klauss modify it for a total of 120,000µF memory. Those little speakers are power hungry! | |
| What is the best BNC Digital Cable under $4,000? I have heard $250,000 systems was scooped off the curb. If the data is identical at either side of the cable, there will be no sonic difference. Don’t waste your money unless it makes you feel happy! | |
| Classic Sub For A Reasonable Price It all depends on what you are looking for. For modern speakers being driven by appropriate electronics playing anything other than electronica, EDM, heavy bass rap, or serious pipe organ music, REL makes some great subs that typically integrate ... | |
| How come Horn + woofer designs are not more popular? Horns, properly selected for the application and room, sound great. The ones I like, however, are too big for my room. I can get them to fit, but I only have one room in my house that I can use for whatever I want, and I do other things in there... | |
| "You cannot handle the truth" 1.5 hours a week. I posted about this on another thread ( https://forum.audiogon.com/discussions/what-a-sad-world-we-now-live-in/post?postid=1752367#1752367 ).Of course, that is for those of us that work and have lives outside of audio. I think ... | |
| What a sad world we now live in....... "Teo-audio" apparently lacks the mental authority to understand how modern technology can enrich one's enjoyment of music. Rather than trying to come up with a unified theory of the end of the world, I might advise a subscription to Tidal and list... | |
| YOUR AUDIO JOURNEY COMPLETION! Well, first of all I'm not going to lug my system to an audio event to verify my purchasing acumen. I've been to those events, and opinions are all over the place (and the rooms mostly suck). I prefer to keep my listening non-competitive.I have ... | |
| "You cannot handle the truth" 70 hours is probably a years worth of listening for most of us. The guy probably just wants something new, or something that works better for his system, or he needs the money.I have been burned both buying and selling audio equipment. As far as... | |
| What a sad world we now live in....... A paper released last year ( https://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=3285436 ) determined that the average "free" time most working Americans have is around 2.5 hours per day. Here are some of the things I like to do (in their general... | |
| Speaker advice for listening to Blues music One of the posters correctly pointed out that Maggies are not electrostatic. They are actually planar magnetic, a different beast, but both planar magnetc and electrostatic speakers share certain characteristics such as high detail retrieval and ... |
