Two audio components no one really talks about
I built my system in our living room.  We have hardwood floors throughout the first floor and a large 10 x 13 Persian rug.  I think we have the right balance between hardwood floors and Persian rug.  I think the hardwood floors help to brighten up... 
Shouldn't This Sound Boomy?
I may have missed something, but describe your sound system.  There are so many knowledgeable people in this discussion group.  
Has this happened to you? How can it be stopped?
I would think audio gear has gotten better over the years.  It all depends upon your ears.  Many of us experience high frequency loss as we get older.  I would think amplifiers have their own sound and for that matter so do speakers.  I know I hav... 
Chord DAVE DAC
Where do you live?  Are their any audio shows near your area you can drive to.  
Best "Budget" / "bang for my buck" 2-channel amp and speakers can I get new?
I would consider adding a pair of REL subwoofers.  Their high level connection allows them to pay like woofers rather than subwoofers.  The key is to dial them in so you can't hear the subwoofers taking over your sound.    
Speaker positioning and center image depth
Why don’t you hire someone to do a master set?  This allows you sit in more places so you can hear great sound from many locations.  You also cannot hear the location of left and right speaker. There is a dealer in Denver who specializes in this ... 
Cables recommendation
I would recommend calling Jason Ressler at The Cable Company.  He is the most knowledgeable person I have ever talked.  I like his Synergistic Research.  He will sell what you need and give you the right recommendations.  
Paper cone drivers/natural materials
I have been told speaker cones should be lightweight and stiff.  I believe this relates to the amount of mass a driver has to move.  This, I would imagine lighter weight cone material that reduces flexibility might improve musicality.  Just a thou... 
Adding a sub. - can i start with one?
If you can swing it, two would be better.  I would only consider buying REL's.  Their high-level connection is incredible.  My friend had a single SVS and the sound quality was not as good as my REL's.  
Rogue pharaoh II or Cronus Magnum III ?
Those speakers certainly don't impress me.  I don't like JBL subwoofers either.  
Piega loudspeakers
I don’t consider SVS audiophile.  They are boom boxes.  I would add a pair of ElREL SHO’s.  Their high level connection allows them to play like woofers that blend perfectly and play down lower.  
Help me spend $6000
I don't believe you mentioned what kind of sound you have now and what sound you want to achieve.  The T5's are pretty small.  You might like the SALK Song3 Encores.  They sound really great playing jazz.  
Anyone have Warfedale Linton 85th anniversary?
How good they be for just $1,500/pair.  They also look cheaply made by watching the video.  I think people would be better off saving for a better pair of speakers.  If they only cost $1,500/pair what did they cost to manufacture and what did they... 
a better interconnect cable
psnyder149 148 posts 07-08-2022 at 09:43am  Note:  Soulution electronics have very low impedance so matching is more critical than many other brands.  Keep that in mind when you’re auditioning!   Could you explain what you mean by your comm... 
a better interconnect cable
I never know who to believe.  There are so many that are convinced the more you spend the better.  Then there are many who don't believe in expensive cables.  I certainly get the impression jassonborne52 doesn't believe in expensive cables.  Who's...
