| What happened to my room acoustics @ervikingo The almost full-range Aerial 8 is reviewed favorably with impressive specs. It could be an endgame choice. Good luck with them. The Poang chair is a bit too upright for my liking as well. But if I sit further tilted back (on other chai... | |
| What happened to my room acoustics Of interest is that you mapped out the "golden triangle" and then didn’t adhere to it. Thanks @aewarren & @ervikingo. I experimented with that a while ago. If you take a look at my second sketch, you’ll notice the ’golden ratio triangle’ wh... | |
| What happened to my room acoustics Thank you, @newbee. I did experiment with varying toe-in angles, ranging from straight to pointing towards my shoulder, to find a trade-off between the width of the soundstage and imaging. I ultimately settled on a slight toe-in that points sligh... | |
| What happened to my room acoustics Thank you all for the advice. It appears that the consensus here is that I am sitting too far from the speakers. I've adjusted the seating position, bringing it closer to the speaker plane (11 ft), with the speakers now placed 9 ft apart. My room ... | |
| What happened to my room acoustics @newbee @rhljazz Thank you both for the suggestions. Before I made the following adjustments for the speaker/listening positions, I tried treating the first reflection point, but the HF dip is still present with the same magnitude. I’m not sure ... | |
| What happened to my room acoustics Is this even the right forum? It seems like you are replying to a thread from a different web site. I really do not know what are you talking about. I am addressing my message to the Audiogon forum. My speakers are Burchardt S400 II as said ... | |
| looking for an integrated amp in the $1500 range I had the S400 mk II speakers, which are rated at 87 dB, in my bedroom. During low-level listening sessions at around 45 dB at night, I found that, with well-recorded music, I could discern articulated bass notes and open, airy treble without any ... | |
| looking for an integrated amp in the $1500 range +1 @elliottbnewcombjr However, before acquiring more gadgets, consider implementing the F-M curve concept by using the internal 24 EQ presets or a 10-band graphical EQ in your Wiim Pro streamer, especially if you’re planning to downsize. I have ... | |

| New Speaker advice It is straightforward to assess whether the AVR used as a preamp is a weak link, as many have commented. Simply compare it to a direct connection of your DAC with the AR D300, both using XLR and SE connections, and you’ll know immediately. Findin... | |
| USB Cable https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zncAhs44sp8&t=1564s The reviewer offers a more objective assessment of Supra, Wireworld, and Oyaide USB cables. I encourage you to watch the video for a comprehensive evaluation if desired. In essence, the ... | |
| New Speaker advice @jetter I am going against the flow here, but I have a friend with an older Denon AVR and I am always amazed at how good it sounds. I have always thought Denon makes very nice sounding gear for its price points. I believe the issue lies in usin... | |
| DAC DIRECT IN TO AMPLIFIER OR TO PREAMPLIFIER @mitch2 I believe it was related to the size of the coupling caps used. I concur. After conducting some research, we could apply the general guideline of a 3dB cut-off frequency at 2Hz to calculate the desired load input impedance (RL) in ohms... | |
| New Speaker advice To make things a bit easier, you could probably rule out F36 simply because there's no point in having a floor stander with a light bass response (51Hz -3dB). | |
| DAC DIRECT IN TO AMPLIFIER OR TO PREAMPLIFIER After acquiring a preamp primarily for analog attenuation, I've become convinced that a separate high-quality active preamp can significantly enhance sound reproduction and elevate the overall listening experience in almost every aspect. The key l... |
