| Flatscreen between speakers @richardbrand do have a center channel and rear channels as well. It has occurred to me that 7 unused drivers in the those three speakers were affecting the sound quality during stereo playback. I have also covered those speakers to see if I can... | |
| Flatscreen between speakers @spenav thanks. The idea for the room and the setup has been evolving for a long time, starting before I even had a physical space to build it. Frankly, even though 5.1 Blu-ray soundtracks sounded great pretty much from day one with multichannel... | |
| Flatscreen between speakers @richardbrand I have a recent model OLED Samsung flatscreen with a very thin (scarily so) panel and covering it makes a noticeable improvement in the center image stereo music reproduction. This may be unique to my room and the placement of my sp... | |
| Flatscreen between speakers @kubla36 cool! | |
| Are there any recording artists you just can’t listen too? So many. | |
| Flatscreen between speakers @spenav I see you are on a path with the dust cover. Too bad camo wasn’t available in cotton. Will be interesting to hear about how that works out. Looks like your speakers are well into the room and your TV is well back of your speakers. Not ... | |
| Bluesound Node versions SQ @ironrick6 what did you decide to do? FWIW, I have a Qutest and Node N130 and both are powered by a Teddy Pardo dual power supply. The Pardo supply improved the Qutest a little and the sound of the Node a lot. This digital front end is affected... | |

| What is the most overlooked consideration? @aewarren 100% Is this fun? If buying a piece of gear (new or used) from shopping to buying to opening the box to setting it up to listening to it isn’t fun for you, something is amiss. Also, will the new piece of gear allow you to enjoy listen... | |
| Sound quality differences in streamers “As long as you want very good, and not state of the art, this combo will work really well; and the Node has a terrific interface.” Adding an external power supply also makes a very big improvement in the sound of the N130 used... | |
| Dynaudio focus 360 @twangy57 I have learned some things from your series of recent threads even after being reactivated in this hobby for the last 20 years after a long break. You can get a lot of valuable information here once you learn how to apply the appropriat... | |
| What bass-litmus-test music do you take to auditions? I would add Mac Miller - “Complicated” | |
| What bass-litmus-test music do you take to auditions? @devinplombier the bass player on Goat Rodeo Sessions is Edgar Meyer. Check out his credits on All Music, he’s played on a lot of great recordings. kn | |

Goat Rodeo Sessions - Goat Rodeo Jacob Collier - Overture (From Djesse Vol. 1) Josh Stone - I’ve Fallen In Love With You Lizzo - Tempo Piltch &... | |
| Exceding recommended power rating I have ruined some tweeters before by over powering some bookshelf speakers and trying to use them outdoors as a PA system for a rugby party. Don’t try that. kn |
