| Bass management--high/low pass filtering @koestner Is it worth it to send the signal through another box of electronic junk just to eliminate frequencies below 80Hz? Depends on how the high pass filter is achieved, and also depends on the system and user, so the solution will vary acc... | |

| Best amplification for Magico S3 newer version on your experience I've never heard the S3s, but the CAT amps sounded amazing on the S5 MkII | |

| use of ChatGPT for HIFI Out of curiosity, your post got me to ask ChatGPT to rate my system. It did a great job recognizing a lot of unique things about my system, but then it went it on to recognize pictures of my Dyna/VTA tube amps as Altec Lansing horn speakers! . N... | |

| What type of speaker would sound better? There are great and poor examples of all kinds of speaker designs, so it depends. I’ll take better parts and better design any day over more of something lesser. Better parts and better design at a given price point tend to lean more towards neu... | |
| Bass management--high/low pass filtering Many subs have active high pass crossovers. Lots of people use this configuration. My setup has a separate preamp/amps....I split the preamp output signal and sent part of the signal to an active low pass crossover set at 63hz that then feeds th... | |
