Audiolab 9000P bi amp speaker question
Your speakers are a 94.5dB@2.83V/1m sensitivity wise. With a minimum impedance modulus of 4.1 Ohms at 135Hz with the rest of the spectrum at 5 Ohm or higher. They're not voltage hungry and are not current demanding too so 100Watts is enough to s... 
How do I use an equalizer with a Hegel H390 using Spotify wirelessly?
@imabucfan you need Wiim Ultra or if you want a more comprehensive DSP, get a MiniDSP SHD which has Spotify Connect too via Volumio - miniDSP SHD with Dirac Live® room correction  
Harman To Acquire B&W, Denon, Polk And Marantz From Masimo In $350 Million Deal
@llg98ljk that is to be expected in a space that think it is a big thing when we’re a niche within a niche. To put how small we’re as a subset of audio, AirPods Pro 2, AirPods 3, and AirPods Max alone gave Apple almost 22 billion in revenue for 20... 
B&W 802D1 - How can I tame the brightness?
Put those B&W up for sale. it is their bread and butter to have thin, harsh, edgy, sharp and piercing presentation to their midrange and treble. Some can be fixed with extra damping that is focused on certain frequencies, or you can do the bes...

Good. Masimo was a terrible owner  
Has anyone switched from Class AB/A to Class D? Was it better? Was it worse?
@texasblues1959 I didn’t. Some of my comments were removed without explanation. I didn’t say anything untoward too

@ntpc4 someone gets it  
Best Match/Best Synergy?
any standard 14AWG cable will do. Just a decently built one that has the terminations you want, banana cables or otherwise @erastof  I’d say get two of this - https://www.amazon.com/GearIT-Premium-Braided-Speaker-Plated/dp/B0713ZJDFG/ in either w... 
b & w 804 s
@marley119 you have to send the Amp companies an email and send the speaker maker an email then.   Cos those amps shouldn't be choking  
Has anyone switched from Class AB/A to Class D? Was it better? Was it worse?
Amplifier class is just that. A different topology and implementation.   Doesn't correlate with sound quality at all and yes I use Class D.   Remember Class is  moniker for different topology. It is not a grading system  
Which would be preferable, an older Audio Research Corp. VT130 or a newer SS Rotel 1552?
Uhm the speaker/room synergy and your content is what should get you involved. The amp is there mainly to just provide voltage and current for your speaker tranducers to move air. So I don't get this sentiment about moving you @bigdoghoss    Mus... 
What do you listen to?
Lastm is good with this metric   I've spent 56% with new music and the other 44% with repeat music @rvpiano   
b & w 804 s
According to their published dataset, the 804S have a minimum impedance of 3 Ohm. This means they're current hungry speakers. Maybe your amp is choking and limiting  
Hlep chosing a streamer/server for my DAC
@diminishedchord get the Wiim Ultra and connect to your DAC's USB input. and use Tidal's connect feature or Qobuz's app built in Wiim's Home App. Wiim has the best UI/UX experience of all the streamers and fucks up the least software wise with con...
