| My end game speaks. Never heard the S7, but Magico S5 MKII powered by Convergent amps are among the best sounding speakers I've heard. | |
| Limiting a full range driver I would just keep the low pass setting of the sub at it's lowest setting (many are 40 or 50hz) to keep it well out of the lower male vocal range, which typically starts around 80hz, but some basement dwellers can get near 60hz. I would only att... | |
| SEEKING ADVICE: Which component would you upgrade first? Speakers often have the most impact on the system. Find something you love that works well in your room, and that can be driven by your amp. Lots of great deals on used speakers in most markets. A cart upgrade is a never a bad idea! 😎 | |
| First Bi Amping Experience What sort of improvements are you hearing in your system after the bi-amping? | |
| First Bi Amping Experience Are you running the Crown amp on the woofers, and mid/tweeters with the Coda? | |
| A little test Love the album. | |
| For the love of...kits? @jodeven I have been tossing around the idea of modifying my Thiel CS2 2 with an external crossover using upgraded crossover parts. But the big change would be to modify the design of the crossover for Bi-amping. Then design and build a tube am... | |
| Monitor Audio G4 Gold 100 or Proac Studio125? It’s personal, subjective, and very room dependent. Try them both, and keep the ones you love the sound of in that setup. | |

| For the love of...kits? @erik_squires Tinkerers and experimenters built the entire industry and the more of them we have contributing in forums the better off our hobby is. "Hear, hear"! 😎 | |
| Why do some amplifiers throw a bigger soundstage than others? IMHO, clarity is one of the most significant contributors to soundstage. If your speakers have good phase coherency, and are mated with an amp with good clarity, you should get a good soundstage if properly setup. | |
| Is tube sound vs solid state easier to distinguish using headphones? After owning Hafler, NYAL Moscode,B&K, Mitsubishi, and Discrete Technology separate amps,as well as many receivers and integrated amps, my view is that it’s pretty easy to tell a good tube amp from a solid state amp with good speakers without ... | |
| Which Vintage CD Player To Use As A Transport? Get one with a digital output so a better DAC can be added at some point. Denon has worked well for me, but all can benefit from new drive belts and lube | |
| Seeking Budget CD Player Suggestions Get a player with digital output and add a DAC. Topping E30 with a Denon has worked out well for me | |
| The D'Appolito, MTM Configuration I always liked this design option. If the.crossover point is low enough and the driver centers are close enough, comb filtering shouldn't be an issue. Always many variables in play, and pros and cons to each design choice. |
