| Eversolo DMP-A8 I purchased the A8 several weeks ago and I like it a lot. There is a learning curve due to the numerous options, like any new electronic gadget. I do have one word of caution (after learning the hard way and possibly damaging my components in the... | |
| Overkill for small room Hello forum - checking in after completing stage one of the upgrade. I purchased a used AVM Ovation 6.2ME integrated on US Audio Mart - thanks Michael - which is an absolute beast into 4 ohms. Beautiful clarity and headroom for days. I think it's... | |
| Overkill for small room Tool has been a fave of mine since Opiate. Big fan of RATM too. Your sub setup seems quite impressive, even if I only understood about 25% of what you described. I’m sure that processor handles everything amazingly well, but that stuff is WAY ... | |
| Overkill for small room continued excellent advice. I've got a lot to think about prior to the amp purchase, but the research and learning is a big part of the fun for me. Thanks to all who have contributed helpful advice. @audiorusty - I'm curious to know what you con... | |
| Overkill for small room @asctim - interesting advice, as I assumed I'd set up the speakers on the narrow end, but I'll play with both and see what I like better. Regarding subs, I agree. I've had huge speakers in the past (Acoustic Research TSW 810s I think) that did no... | |
| Overkill for small room Based on advice from you and others, I’ve been paying attention to the WPC specs as impedance gets halved. I’m going to stick with SS for now. As with any complex subject, the more you explore the more you realize how much you don’t know. So man... | |
| Overkill for small room @nitewulf - are any of them on this forum? 😛 | |
| Overkill for small room Musical tastes are all over the place - Mozart to Metallica, Coltrane to Coldplay, Deadmau5 to Dylan, Bonamassa to Black Sabbath. Lots and lots of blues, both the old guard and newer artists. Good amount of classic rock, alternative, and prog rock... | |
| Overkill for small room @daveyf - yes, it will be a dedicated room, so I'll have flexibility as far as positioning and room treatments without disrupting the living space. I have zero experience with tube amps, so I'll be starting with AB or D and go from there as I lea... | |
| Overkill for small room All advice greatly appreciated thus far. I'm writing down the important stuff. @sounds_real_audio - I don't feel that the speaker purchase requires a new more powerful amp. If I already had a serious amp I'd very likely keep it, but I'm upgrading... | |
| Overkill for small room Wow, this a wellspring of helpful info. One question about damping: is this a function of the amp or the speaker? If I understand 'good' damping correctly, it involves quickly stopping the woofer's motion when no bass signal is present. Do I hav... | |
| Overkill for small room Many thanks for the helpful comments thus far. You've made me feel better already. My main concern is ending up with bass that's muddy/boomy/hard to control. With a small room, I won't have all that much space to pull them away from the front wa... | |
| Overkill for small room Yes the Contour 20i - apologies for omitting crucial information. I also meant to pose the title of the post as a question, as in "Overkill?" but I forgot the ? Noobies.....🙄.....what are ya gonna do? |
