| Speakers for yoga studio Yes we mostly use Bluetooth from iPhone which sounds very good but also supports wired inputs. Also the onboard digital processing used to help massage the sound for the smaller boxes and the bass and treble controls are very handy to help get the... | |
| Speakers for yoga studio Well Ohms would be a singular choice in terms of soundstage and imaging throughout the room, no doubt. Also sound superbly relaxed and involving musically which I personally would love for a hot yoga session. The Vanatoos can do a nice job of th... | |
| Speakers for yoga studio Hot yoga fan here. Where? Vanatoo Transparent One Encore would be a smart choice. Sound great, versatile and will not break the bank at well under 1k. | |

| Speakers on carpet over concrete It probably won’t matter but try it and see. I have similar floor. Speakers are on castors. | |

| Higher amperage fuse for sound quality Fuses are there by design to protect your gear. There are many safer and way more effective ways to muck with the sound. Use a good quality fuse with the proper specs as per manufacturer and move on. That is the smart and cost effective thing to do. | |
| How do you judge audio components and speakers? @mahgister that is true the info is all out there for the taking. But the op is asking us as individuals how we do it. That book about me is not out there. It would be a bestseller, believe me! 😉 You should write a book too. Maybe get some indep... |
