| Subwoofer @jpwarren58, One sub can be used but definitely needs variable phase if you are limited with placement options. SVS is a great choice because of the adjustments available. It has a simple download which means you can tune it in from the comfort ... | |

| Moving on a sailboat - bookshelf speakers? Congratulations on the sailboat getaway. Preferably go for a sealed box design which will be much easier to accommodate. It is, on a boat, quite acceptable to lay the speaker over on its side and not concern yourself with imaging or soundstage. E... | |
| Integrating speakers into contemporary decor - can WAF ever be overcome? @avidlistener, good sensible post. @hartf36, cheers. My current speakers are rather ugly being large OB with a 15" driver and my wife loves them because of the sound. We spend many happy hours listening to a wide variety of music. Tonight we're ... | |
| Integrating speakers into contemporary decor - can WAF ever be overcome? If you can't hide or disguise them then feature them. Present your choice of speaker and challenge her decorative chops to integrate them into the decor. WAF??? WTF! | |
| $50k - $80k Budget…Opinions please. Start with the room. This defines what speakers you can fit and work with. How big is it? How is current damping? Can you treat it, etc... Once that is defined I suggest selecting a speaker as your choice will be a function of the room I'm... | |
| Duelund conversion to DIY Helix Geometry Cabling @williewonka, I added a 20AWG Ag to the 2 x 24AWG Ag and now have over 300 hours use and I feel the performance is now stable and probably will not improve further. The additional wire was twisted to follow the 2 thinner wires and then covered the... | |
| Can a better power cable make a difference if NOT plugged directly into an outlet? @hilde45, I find Jay's reviews to be accurate based on what he's said about some of the cables in his list that I've heard. He's done similar with interconnects and same thing, accurate according to the few I've tried. The comments at the end of... | |
| Can a better power cable make a difference if NOT plugged directly into an outlet? @hilde45, How are your DIY skills? I may have some exciting news but requires DIY. This link takes you to an interesting review of a bunch of great PCs : https://audiobacon.net/2019/08/17/27-audiophile-power-cables-reviewed/ Perhaps look for s... | |
| Frequency response measurement Hey OP, my advice is to not avoid but embrace the research, besides there is plenty of info especially with REW and if you visit "gearslutz" there is an REW dedicated forum where you can get all the help you need. The process is not difficult. ... | |
| Modifying Crossovers @simonmoon, good post. As you describe, results of sensible XO mods I've done have always improved the sound, ranging from a clear and easily heard upgrade to the astonishing. | |
| Modifying Crossovers I have found some rather expensive speakers that look expensive and fitted with beautifully machined spikes to give the impression of great care and engineering chops, but have cheaped out on the XO components which are hidden from view. Push-on c... | |
| Modifying Crossovers @carlsbad2, Hey Jerry, thanks for the generous offer. I have a lot of experience designing and modifying XOs. Have been doing this for what seems like forever and have a speaker design of mine about to go into production. The person who asked me t... | |
| Modifying Crossovers @jaytor, understood, thanks. | |
| Modifying Crossovers @carlsbad2, with regard to the Duelund bypass caps, I'm curious to know if you listened to your system before installing the bypass and what change you heard after, also which ones did you chose? @jaytor, very nice set up you have there and I not... |
