| The mistake armchair speaker snobs make too often @fleschler What I am after is an end-game speaker that I can afford for my listening room and my taste in sound. What I posted is totally MY taste, so I get it. If I had a mission like yours the goal is to get the taste in sound YOU want. For a... | |
| The mistake armchair speaker snobs make too often @phusis Check out old blue eyes, he used a center channel at home too: | |
| Lush and Romantic Tube Amps @bluethinker You have a very nice system but your description is vague. I suppose by lush and romantic what you mean is a classic, old school model. With speaker sensitivity you list I would recommend the Bob Carver RAM 285: https://www.bobcarv... | |
| Who has the Sickness, the Phile or the Non-phile? @unreceivedogma It seems like a labor of love from the cartridge all the way to the room design. Really nice way to showcase it to! | |
| Are higher end preamps worth the investment when you are only streaming Tidal & Spotify ? @puffbojie The Dirac gives you the option to take a picture of FR graph which I always do but have no idea where it goes. Maybe a pictures folder? I use windows so that's my best guess. You will need to upload the pic to your virtual system (se... | |
| Are higher end preamps worth the investment when you are only streaming Tidal & Spotify ? OK, to the crowd that is voting preamp I am scratching my head. I have a Marantz surround processor and a dedicated Sony Signature TAZH1 ES that functions as a DAC/preamp/headphone amp. It is a cost no object dac/pre from the best engineers at Son... | |
| Are higher end preamps worth the investment when you are only streaming Tidal & Spotify ? @vonhelmholtz and OP I don’t know if I should ask you why you think that you need room equalization, or question myself as to why I think that I don’t need room equalization. Post some measurements. | |
| The mistake armchair speaker snobs make too often @phusis All the hoopla on "matching the individual driver to an amp channel" has gotten old long ago, It "burns" me when I see a product trashed from an audio "snob" that simply mismatched the speaker to the amp, the cable, or the room. My pe... | |
| Who has the Sickness, the Phile or the Non-phile? @unreceivedogma Roger that, NP. What is your budget and listening preferences and I'll post something else. | |
| Playing two Bluetooth devices simultaneously from iPhone and/or MacBook Thanks for letting me know, you should get another splitter and use that sub your son didn't take yourself until he is ready for it. Check my profile you'll see I use a Klipsch sub too, I find them very smooth, hard to localize, and a nice upgrade... | |
| Are higher end preamps worth the investment when you are only streaming Tidal & Spotify ? With the goal of achieving higher fidelity, would a 10k -12k MSRP preamplifier be overkill when you only stream from Tidal or Spotify? Yes, the C658 is fine for your current setup. If you want an upgrade measure your room's FR and post it in your... | |
| The mistake armchair speaker snobs make too often @fleschler I demand a lot from my speakers now. I demand a lot OF speakers now, You have a very nice room, go with a 7.2.4 setup and enjoy the thrills. Think, you can get a LOT more dynamics and imaging from coverage of 11 speakers plus two sub... | |
| The mistake armchair speaker snobs make too often I don’t understand the argument, The argument is snobs calculate the cost of the "parts" of a speaker and pass judgement, overlooking the design and overall SQ. This rankles the DIY crowd in general. Personally I am parts agnostic, turn it on and... | |
| What's your experience with Channel Separation? @erik_squires Have you ever compared a two channel stereo mix with an atmos mix played back on just 2 or 2.1 speakers? | |
