| 1st Post Intro & Ramblings I agree with most of that. I have noticed many here have dedicated spaces for sound, but that is not very common. In my years buying and selling or for work, a vast majority cannot spend the money you are talking and chances are you will not be ca... | |
| 1st Post Intro & Ramblings I most likely am not wording it correctly. Using a movie as your source, Pay attention to how sound from a center channel stays locked in, it’s a mono channel. Now listen to it in stereo (again, assuming it was recorded correctly). | |
| 1st Post Intro & Ramblings I said ramblings in the title. If theater sound was created to reproduce the stereo image on a larger scale for a larger audience, then why not listen to it in stereo at home where you are catering for just 1 or 2. | |
| 1st Post Intro & Ramblings Cables. WTF is what comes to mind when looking at the price tags. I am a firm believer in spending some in cabling. Starting with shoring up your power as far as you can afford, literally swap out the 14 gauge cables in the wall if you can. Amplif... | |
| 1st Post Intro & Ramblings After 10 years of casually reading, I can definitely attest there some high level professionals here. Since they’re here and maybe reading, I have a question that for the life of me I cannot figure out. I’ll start with “I don’t know everything but... | |
| 1st Post Intro & Ramblings I’m still using the tape measure most of the time and still tinker a lot, OCD. As to what can be heard or appreciated really comes down to the listener. I had someone sitting on my sofa and his exact words were “it doesn’t sound right, the singers... | |
| 1st Post Intro & Ramblings A few other observations. You guys are nuts. LOL. Some of the setups I have read and seen in pictures is just a whole different level. Me & my friends try and keep it simple at home, we build some large setups that can drag out for over week j... | |
| 1st Post Intro & Ramblings That’s great. A little bit time and patience along with experience can take a system a long way. I purchased a complete Emotiva surround setup (Craigslist) with the ERT 8.3 and a 5 channel Emotiva amp. Sold within a week and made a few bucks. 6 mo... | |
| 1st Post Intro & Ramblings An example of this is my present setup which is basic at the moment since I buy & sell. Denon X3500 and a Meridian 556 powering a pair of Gallo Reference 3.1 towers. My wife is slowly becoming an audiophile and we went to a friends house who s... | |
| 1st Post Intro & Ramblings Thank you fuzztone. Millercarbon; those budget builds are the most gratifying | |
| 1st Post Intro & Ramblings Now I’m gonna depart from traditional thinking and I’m sure many will scoff and throw stones but..... budget.A vast majority of homes do not have a dedicated listening room so our stereo and theater share the same space. Now I’ll try my best to ex... | |
| 1st Post Intro & Ramblings I cannot count how many homes I have been in through the years. I have sat on many sofas, eyes closed just listening. It surprises me how many systems are not dialed in correctly when it comes to speaker placement. Just a quick note, your ears do ... |
