Best Speakers for Listening Bar I am building?
A pair of freshen up Altec V of the T A7's 500 series (larger HF horn) would be affordably terrific. They'd need to be raised high enough until at least half of the woofer is higher than the crowd. Go easy with the stereo toe in, experiment. Give ... 
The "audiophile gear" I REALLY need is a damn house.
Especially today, a home is a huge step. If you're currently living alone begin by getting your speakers out in the room. This establishes territory for the potential significant other and introduces them to the sound stage, the reasoning behind ... 
Help with Dunlavy SC-IV signature
Your have experienced ears.  The recording engineer who nudged me into this hobby had modified Duntech Sovereign's and me with little practical experience. He passed and years later I heard that general presentation again at a small shop with Dun...

Buchardt S400 Mk II vs Sony SSCS 5 in Bass
lanx0003 Did you settle on REL, SVS or?  
REL Carbon Special Subwoofers or the REL G1 Gibraltar Reference Subwoo
s_r-a,   I'm a hack, so I just googled, 'how is subwoofer speed measured?' What turned up was subwoofer distortion, performance, phase, and port length, nothing on measuring a subwoofers speed. Can you suggest another search? If I were a subwoofe... 
REL Carbon Special Subwoofers or the REL G1 Gibraltar Reference Subwoo
s_r_a,    I've never heard subwoofer designers or manufactures mention the speed of their products. Is there a measurement that's not widely known, the sound of out of phase or a subjective observation? What is, "the doubling associated with subs"?  
Buchardt S400 Mk II vs Sony SSCS 5 in Bass
["lanx0003 I sort of shy away from adding a sub, primarily because I do not believe a separated sub could easily match the speed and texture of the main speakers. I had tried at least three times (SVS and REL) but none of the sub. I have tried pr... 
Accurate and revealing subwoofer
Keep the Dominion no matter what. Consider adding a JL Audio E series which can master RCA output to the Dominion via a pair of long interconnect cables from Blue Jeans or Monoprice Cables. After performing a crawl test position each sub near yo...

Vintage vs Modern speakers.
shkong78, thanks for the Youtube clips. Altec A7’s (with the larger HF horn) where my first PA speakers. When stored in my live in loft I used one for band practice, playing radio, records and tapes in the mid 60’s. I had no knowledge of audio. D... 
Subwoofer - thoughts on Rythmic F12
Where are your two SVS SB-12 NSD subwoofers located in your room? And / or how did you come to decide on those positions? It's quite possible new units maybe faced with similar demanding room positioning interactions.       
Best €2500 sub purely for music?
["e_j-g (PS John Hunter himself calls the subwoofers, all the technicians I’ve talked to called rels subwoofers and the marketing on their website called their products subs. The company itself disagrees with that distinction)."] The folks in W... 
Injecting one sub to Benchmark system…
thomas, SPL 10 RCH doesn’t seem to bring up any information. Though I did find this which may help. Below is a link to an earlier SPL User’s Manual https://velodyneacoustics.com/pdf/spl/SPL-RSeriesManual.pdf The Sub on the cover lacks the Front... 
Injecting one sub to Benchmark system…
thomas, I love mijostyn. His system is terrifically satisfying. Judging by that system and his unbelievably well appointed wood working shop I'd say he has a financial foot up on most of us here. I know I'm envious. Yes, you can absolutly have ex...
