ATC and Loki
Yes, I think this is more about ears than equipment per se. Mine are not nearly as fine-tuned as most of the people here. By the way, I’ve been playing with my new toy and it’s fun. Where I will end up in terms of settings or usage is still up in ... 
ATC and Loki
OP here.JON, your understanding of this matches my understanding of this, and I appreciate your efforts to keep comments impersonal. By that, I don’t mean to vilify anyone who is taking a different approach. I’m just commenting on what I appreciat... 
ATC and Loki
Thanks, all. The unit is supposed to arrive today so I will play around with some of the variables.To reiterate, I have two concerns. One is low listening levels and the loss of bass to my ears as a result. Across the room from the speakers, a wal... 
British Integrated Amps
I’ve got an MF A308, which was a 12-year-old steal from eBay. It liked my vintage KF speakers, but it loves my modern ATC‘s. From what I’ve read, this amp may be more musical than the direction that MF turned to after it. When it came out, it was ... 
Kef R11 vs Polk L800 vs Triangle Esprit Australe Ez`
I don’t think KEF is particularly a standout at low volume. Anyone else know more about that? Otherwise, based on the type of music you listen to, the British sound does sound right for you. 
Using 2 different brands of interconnects?
Thanks, decooney. I really appreciate your feedback, along with everyone else’s, too. You have to be in a certain position in life to be able to experiment freely with cables, especially high end cables, and this is not my circumstance.I took the ... 
Request for a recommendation on a small footprint floor standing speaker
I second the Salk idea. Check out their website and the various options. If you contact them, they are likely to be able to let you know what amps they believe work best with their speakers. 
Using 2 different brands of interconnects?
OK, thanks. I’m done if y’all are done. 
Using 2 different brands of interconnects?
I understand this is a charged topic and there have been a lot of debates already about it. To refocus us again, let me mention that my question is not about expense or the value of cables in general or anything along those lines. It’s just the mi... 
Using 2 different brands of interconnects?
I can afford what I can afford. Surely a $60 cable is better than a two dollar one, which is something like what I have now. 
Using 2 different brands of interconnects?
To be clear, do you mean I might or might not notice the difference between cheap and  expensive cables, or I might not notice the difference between matched cables from two different companies? 
Using 2 different brands of interconnects?
dweller: I won't have an opportunity to trust my ears until new cables show up, so I'm trying to minimize having to fiddle around by getting it right in the first place.jond: Is this common knowledge--a consensus pt of view? 
How do you know if you need to add a sub (without auditioning one, I mean)?
Minorl: I like your idea of testing DB at all the frequencies. Aside from my wondering about subs, I'm sure I have room problems I don't know about since I have almost no points of reference as to how rooms/systems without problems sound.It's cert...

61: great information. Thanks so much. 
How do you know if you need to add a sub (without auditioning one, I mean)?
So what does anyone think of the idea of using a Loki as a very inexpensive experiment to see if more bass even suits me. I know it won’t be the lower register bass and there are plenty of other differences between this and a sub. Nonetheless, I s...
