Power Cables on Subwoofers do Matter
@gladmo, the svs sub does not use the standard connector on their plate amp. I have the smaller SB 1000 Pro which uses a C7 I think it's called. Does Zavfino give you the choice of connector. Also the Fina you mention is 14AWG which is considered... 
Feel free to talk me off the ledge
Hi OP, something to consider is the sensitivity of new speakers you may like. Your Klipsch are 99dB sensitive which is unusually high. If the new speakers of interest are only 87dB which is typical, then to get the same SPL you would need to doubl... 
Is there a solid fuse-like item that I can use in place of a fuse, to bypass it?
FFS guys, will this schiit never end??? cuckyol and his ilk, do you have nothing better to do. We all get it, you can't hear properly or won't even try. Great, just move on. It appears your system, if you have one, sounds so poorly that you need ... 
Suggestions for a streamer only (I have a great DAC)
At the XFi Premium show in Holland 2019 I visited the room that Aurender and dCS were sharing. The room was busy but eventually got a chance to talk to the dCS rep.  We were discussing the Network Bridge when the Aurender rep. joined us and to my ... 
To Buy or to DIY, here is my question
@jonwatches1, thanks for the compliment. I built those about 10/11 years ago but was not that happy with the finish. I used Woodoc Antique Wax but it came out a little blotchy so I rebuilt them as floorstanders which looked better and gained a few... 
To Buy or to DIY, here is my question
@oldschoolsound, Zilch was the backbone of that long thread and his passing a big loss.  My current speakers are some cheap OB jobs but when finished house repairs I will try Tannoy MG15 OB with helper woofer/s below. The last speaker I built wit... 
To Buy or to DIY, here is my question
@oldschoolsound, Well looks like we were recommending the same thing at about the same time. We have to accept that great minds think alike. So Mr. Chorus, gotta be something in it innit?  
To Buy or to DIY, here is my question
It is entirely possible to build a speaker that will easily outperform a commercial one for the same money, though it may not look as nice. There are many designs available by great designers that provide the volume of enclosure required, the cro... 
Atma-Sphere vs. Supratek
There is visually tidy and electrically tidy and these two doctrines don't necessarily align.  
Best Bang for the Buck Upgrade
Subwoofers do bring so much to the party if you can integrate them with your system and room well, even though your speakers are almost full range. Room treatments, are a good suggestion. Many recommendations here to attend to room acoustics w... 
Great speaker sounds terrible in my room?
I don’t think the basic problem of having poor balance due to insufficient bass will be resolved by changing components. What would really help is to spend about $100 on a measurement mic. and download a free program called REW. This is the only w... 
Great speaker sounds terrible in my room?
The lack of bass is from lack of boundary reinforcement. Do what's needed to keep these speakers because to replace them with something that equals let alone surpasses them is going to cost lots. They present an easy load and are fairly sensitive....

What Is So Special About Harbeth?
@extravaganza, you make a very good point 👍  
What Is So Special About Harbeth?
@jjss49 , I lost somehow a long reply to you so I'll try again a shorter version. I have no 'stake' in this! I have an opinion, just like anyone else and just like you. Do I think Harbeth are overpriced? ...Yes Do I like their overly complex ...
