| advice on hiding cables @toro3 I think this idea is the best compromise for a room that is not a dedicated listening/theater room. A dedicated theater room would be nice but then it wouldnt be good for anything else. For the money I have to throw at this hobby, a dedicat... | |
| Sub output: Is it the woofer size or the rated RMS The biggest factor affecting sub performance is air displacement and that can be a small cone with a large displacement or a large one with a small movement or something in the middle. Either way it’s a compromise just like all speaker design but ... | |
| What decibel level do you listen at? What is ideal? For me my listening levels vary all over the place, when I am listening late at night which I often do, levels are very low probably no more than 60-65 dbA. During the day, when there is not a concern about disturbing anyone, those levels can have... | |
| New vs uses in your current setup pre-fire I had a lot of used, inherited, or refurbished gear. Mostly those pieces are being replaced very slowly with new, and not all of them are being replaced. Going forward, I will look for bargains, discounts, close-outs, and take advantage o... | |
| A principle guiding the wise audiophile life @p05129 I agree with a lot you say, but I have also found that some of these premium brands are just premium because they include the audiophile tax...Which is all to liberally applied via the marketing department of the companies guilty of such e... | |
| A principle guiding the wise audiophile life @newton_john - we have a similar problem about the music...her tastes are much more encompassing of what I as a certified music snob look down my nose at, however there is a good bit that we share and we do...she prefers to do her listening while ... | |
| Experience with stacked subwoofers? Having experimented with different subs and arrangements in-room I can say with some authority that the results you get may surprise you. And it can go either way. My experience supports the fact that if a single sub is good, then two is way bett... | |
| Are there any recording artists you just can’t listen too? Oh and Yoko Ono....omg so bad... | |
| Are there any recording artists you just can’t listen too? @thecarpathian yes :) cant stand them so much I inadvertently changed their name. But the edit is in. | |
| Are there any recording artists you just can’t listen too? I hardly know where to start...omg, there are way more that I dislike than I like. Yeah, I am something of a chip off the old block. My father was a self confessed music snob. He was fond of saying often, "No music has been written since 1900." Ye... | |
| advice on hiding cables @miner42 I understand your problem and think you might find something acceptable as a compromise to in-wall routing on Amazon. I was looking for something similar myself and ran across an add-on channel that runs along the baseboard. The advantage... | |
| Adding an extra 1ft to premium speaker cables @jasonbourne71 I'm with you on this one...Very few speaker manufacturers use high quality internal wiring. Assuming 4 ohm speakers and amplifiers under 500 wpc 12 gauge monster cable is more than adequate for any kind of wire run under 50 feet and... | |
| How close are you to being to your endgame? My system outline and I'm almost there. I am no where near end game at this point. If I live long enough I expect to get there within the next couple of years. And while I appreciate that many folks have a single system they have carefully crafted to a sound signature they find satisfyi... | |
| How close are you to being to your endgame? My system outline and I'm almost there. @aj1735 If you would like to sell your Wiim Ultra, I am at least tentatively interested. Can we talk about it? | |
| Need advice on using subwoofer with Aerial 10T's IF you are going to the trouble of getting a subwoofer, by all means get two of them. Bass is not monophonic, and besides that, the second sub will help avoid bass dead spots in the room and may very well make a good system great. Ask me how I kno... |
