| My endgame system I think Hi OP, the attention you have paid to room acoustics is impressive. Most just add some treatment as an afterthought. Congratulations, however you seem a little unsure about it possibly being overdamped. May I suggest you, if haven’t already, downl... | |
| “House” Character of Popular $20-$30k Speakers I second the suggestion to consider Vandersteen which IMO represent excellent value. Also check out Egglestonworks. | |
| Turn off or leave on? @kgbspy, (putin, is that you ???) makes me wonder if any of you got electronics training Ok you can climb down from your pedestal now and go ... well go somewhere. If the component is solid state and does not consume huge amounts of power wh... | |
| recommended speaker cables and interconnects @mitch2, provided some good information but just a cautionary note to all regarding the first link he mentioned. The Furez stuff he carries is great and at a very good price and if it interests you then there are many other places to buy from. I h... | |
| Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC @melm, I think you need to relax a little. I am free to trust or distrust whomever I wish yet I have not uttered any derogatory comment nor cast any aspersions on 'your' thread. Do you have any reason to distrust a good number of listeners like... | |
| Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC This is a great thread and I've read with mounting excitement/interest about the apparently amazing 005 which if it performs as described is at an equally amazing price. I see the Merason DAC mentioned, which together with the SW1X and Mojo Mysti... | |
| Will I benefit from a subwoofer with 20Hz speakers? @lanx0003, a constant directivity (CD) waveguide and a horn look about the same but behave differently. Generally speaking waveguides do not exhibit any of the annoying traits that gave horns a bad name. A CD waveguide in addition to allowing a wi... | |
| Will I benefit from a subwoofer with 20Hz speakers? @bishop148, did you not read the thread? If you did you would have seen my short explanation and @atmasphere's clear and informative take on the virtues of multi-subs. Perhaps you do the OP and yourself a disservice with your ill-informed dismis... | |
| Will I benefit from a subwoofer with 20Hz speakers? @dmilev73 Yes you will definitely benefit from a sub or 2 or 3 When this is suggested people think of being overpowered by thunderous bass which if properly implemented is not that at all. Think of the subs as tuning devices. An enlightened post... | |
| Does carpet deaden the sound too much? "cd318, yes absolutely. The ears perceive the result of an acoustic generator (the speaker) inextricably influenced by the room they are playing in. The approach to this is to try and limit the damage of the marriage. | |
| Does carpet deaden the sound too much? I've heard that an egg shaped room has perfect acoustics I'm not sure I agree. Will have to ask a chicken 🐔 | |
| Does carpet deaden the sound too much? @rixthetrick, Broad-band absorbers can be bought from the likes of GIK etc. who charge crazy amounts for a simple thing so I prefer to make my own. There is much info on how to DIY them and a search on the net will turn up lots. With an overhead ... | |
| Does carpet deaden the sound too much? @OP, there is a lot of nonsense being sprouted here through misunderstanding. Absorption in a room is necessary to reduce the time it takes sound to decay but the absorption needs to work over as wide a bandwidth as possible. If sound is left to ... | |
| Looking for Blues with High Fidelity @77jovian, and somebody else mentioned Mighty Sam McClain, “Give it up For Love” This album won many awards and was chosen Blues album of the month, or was it year? can't remember. Great sound quality. My fav. track: Too Proud (turn the volume ... | |
| Power Cables on Subwoofers do Matter @gladmo, I am not surprised at the increase in performance you achieved with your SVS sub. We are, after all, just listening to a modulated power supply. |
