| Sound quality differences in streamers @mgrif104 thanks for mentioning Positive Feedback's review of Switch X. I had no idea of the inner workings. This unfortunately is beyond my budget but have recently been made aware of the Hyperlink-Network Switch from Fidelizer, available at a ve... | |
| How to choose speakers that won't overpower your room? Being familiar with REW you should be able to accommodate any speaker. What causes people to experience room overload is simply the inevitable room modes. It’s the peaks that are responsible, peaks that can be 15/20 dB higher than the average in r... | |
| Are there any recording artists you just can’t listen too? I can't listen to today's girlies screeching at the top of their lungs trying but not reaching the highest notes without sounding like nails on a blackboard with a sameness to everything. Pop music on the radio is just irritating and will be soon ... | |
| speaker upgrade from Magico A3 Richard Vandersteen's speakers are polar opposites to Magico and worthy of consideration. Also Volti Audio which use waveguides/horns and sound full and lively. Their sensitivity is in the upper 90's dB/oct. You mention owning a pair of REL S/510... | |
| One Sub or Two? The only reason for 2 subs is if you don't have space for 3 or 4, but you do. The poster who claims you absolutely don't need subs with these speakers is unfortunately ill informed and has obviously never heard a good multi sub set up. I suggest h... | |
| Bookshelf speaker pairing with subwoofer Why limit yourself to bookshelf speakers? There are slim floorstanders that have a similar size footprint. The advice to seal the ports is solid, better still is buy sealed speakers. You obviously intend to use subs which is the best way to get gr... | |
| Nearfield Low-Level Listening : New Speakers or EQ? Thoughts? @gemoody, You're probably not going to like what I tell you. Most people find that speakers 'wake up' or 'come alive' when you crank up the volume because fine detail is obscured or missing at low SPL. If I'm not mistaken only @asctim has mentio... | |
| DeVore O/93 or PureAudioProject Duet15 for a First Watt SIT-3? I heard the DeVore 0/96 speakers driven by an 8W 300B amp sounding great. I spent most of my time at the audio show listening to these finding them fun and entertaining. Certainly these can't be accused of 'got completely wrong' Someone here with... | |
| so bass traps in corners do nothing, it seems we have been fooled. or are being fooled. Guys, I feel it would be remiss of me not to warn you about Dennis Fooley. Apart from him frequently offering dubious information he has spent time in prison. Best to steer clear. To those who think that bass traps do not belong in corners here ... | |
| Active Speakers Don't Sound Better @erik_squires of course actives sound better. It goes without saying that the same quality amplification must be used for the comparison so the damping factor is the same. One of the most pertinent reasons for superior sound is that there is no ... | |
| Recommendations for really well-recorded music for high-end audio system demo Hugh Masekela, the track Stimela. A South African trumpeter who will certainly get your attention and anyone else's in the room. | |
| Recommendations for really well-recorded music for high-end audio system demo Chuck Mangioni ... Children of Sanchez, plays Yamaha flugelhorn (startling dynamics) Johan Linstead and Nicholas Gunn, particularly well done latino and one of my favourites. | |
| Dirty little secret of Pedigreed, decades old Speaker line - no one will address I seldom respond without reading the whole thread but here I skipped past most replies. This is just inane drivel. The word bloviating comes to mind. Hey OP which competing speaker manufacturer do you work for? Change your name and try again! | |
| Townshend Isolation Products. I recently placed some Vibrapods under my Oppo 103 and was very pleasantly surprised at the result. On the strength of this I bought a used Townshend Platform to replace the Vibrapods, which elevated the sound further. The difference was IMO well ... | |
| People complain about lack of bass, not enough mid range. Solution? Yes, multi-subs along with bass traps and absorption of the strong early reflections are the best way to tame the acoustics. This done properly will essentially remove the damaging effects of an untreated room and allow you to hear the acoustics o... |
