| Isn't it really about quality of recording? It’s both actually but the dead end is thinking a hifi can transform a particular recording into something it is not. A very easy trap to fall into especially since no two setups ever sound exactly the same. | |
| cheapest cable upgrade ever FWIW I use Audioquest speaker cable with the AA powered DBS devices and gotta say the DBS is one thing that I have never noticed any difference with. | |
| What is the best 2 channel listening chair? I will try them all and report back. | |
| Price Isn't Always Indicitive of Quality or Performance Do it if you can and they are that good. | |
| Why do hipsters prefer analog? The only possible explanation is that analog is hip. It’s also groovy baby, yeah!!! | |
| What covid research can teach us about audio measurements. If the moral of the story is science and technology does not stand still, gee thanks Sherlock! Let’s see if this revelation helps convert any knuckle draggers into lesser knuckle draggers. | |
| What covid research can teach us about audio measurements. Sound is not an evolving virus so not sure how well the analogy applies practically. But it sounds good anyhow. Technology does evolve so there’s that FWIW. | |
| Can a set of Ls50 metas surpass or equal a set of Kef blade metas with subwoofers I agree, based on my experience, it’s objectively hard to beat ls50 meta and even a single well integrated quality sub for good sound at spl levels most people would typically want. It can be done but not easy especially for the cost. Having ... | |
| Can a set of Ls50 metas surpass or equal a set of Kef blade metas with subwoofers Yeah Blades are one of very few speakers in their price class that I would seriously consider owning. I love how KEF puts out extensive well written technical white papers to help explain and demonstrate (with metrics) how their products work and ... | |
| Can a set of Ls50 metas surpass or equal a set of Kef blade metas with subwoofers No doubt the location of the powered bass drivers on Blade would be a plus and the high quality enclosure also a big plus so the whole Blade UniQ design seems quite unique and not emulated easily with separate sub enclosures instead. One of the fe... | |
| Can a set of Ls50 metas surpass or equal a set of Kef blade metas with subwoofers Well my speculation is that if crossed over at high frequency to two or more good powered subs to enable higher spl without breakup, the metas would get pretty close to Blades in sound. Just speculating. Good quality monitors + powered subs se... | |
| Can a set of Ls50 metas surpass or equal a set of Kef blade metas with subwoofers I hope not. Ls50 metas are great within their limits but their limit is spl level. I use a sub with mine and do not feel inclined to go louder than 90db even in the small room they are in. Maybe if I used an active crossover to roll off the low en... | |
| New Klipsch Forte IV True one of the things I noticed auditioning the newer Fortes was poorer recordings were laid quite bare while good ones sounded good, More of a difference than usual I would say. | |
| SPL Meter phone app. I’ve had good luck with decibel app on iphone. Have used it and test signals to help tune in a subwoofer on multiple occasions. Also to help know when I may be going too loud and potentially damage hearing. I suspect all of us might agree we all c... | |
| Introducing Myself I don’t think there is any rule prohibiting manufacturers from promoting products in the forum, just always a good idea to be as transparent as possible. People come here to learn about new things including new products. My only word of cautio... |
