| Help me understand "the swarm" in the broader audiophile world Hmm well another advantage of the Ohms is it’s coherent design using the proprietary CLS (coherent line source) Walsh-style driver.https://ohmspeaker.com/technology/ | |
| Help me understand "the swarm" in the broader audiophile world Many systems have a relatively small “sweet spot”. Adding a swarm might distribute the bass across the room better but the rest is largely directional and best heard in that sweet spot. You only need one sub to get the bass filled very well typica... | |
| Whats playing on your system today? I often just don’t get whatever Beck is trying to do. | |
| Sub Question. One higher quality sub or two lesser quality? (Rythmik vs HSU) If you have large full range speakers that go down to the mid 30s, if you add subs, you need larger ones that deliver output below that range in that there is little to gain to start with otherwise and you don’t want to merely add to the frequenci... | |
| Sub Question. One higher quality sub or two lesser quality? (Rythmik vs HSU) Duke, that makes sense. Thanks. | |
| Sub Question. One higher quality sub or two lesser quality? (Rythmik vs HSU) As I read it the two outputs are already in parallel and connecting two subs to each directly would result in 4 in parallel which would could result in loads 2 ohms or less with nominal 8 ohm subs. Two in series to each would seem like a better idea? | |
| Sub Question. One higher quality sub or two lesser quality? (Rythmik vs HSU) I see two speaker outputs on the Dayton. How does that work to drive 4 subs?2 on each wired in series? | |
| Sub Question. One higher quality sub or two lesser quality? (Rythmik vs HSU) I’d start with a single sub assuming that the subs used if two are not as good or well matched to the system. Getting the right sub to match is paramount. Best to start with one. That’s all you need if listening from a single sweet spot. Then, if ... | |
| Never Owned a Tube Amp and Want Advice Interesting to read about the Tylers. You don't see much hype about them here. They seem to be a good value speaker and tube amp friendly. Got my attention. | |
| the sound of massed violins in classical orchestral recordings Frogman one thing I would point out is transient response Is not limited to the leading edge of notes though perhaps that is where it is typically most pronounced. | |
| the sound of massed violins in classical orchestral recordings Vinyl may do a good job of glossing over the details of the sound of massed violin in a digestible manner but I would question if it is inherently better at accurately reproducing the detail these days than digital. Digital is more than up to the ... | |
| Want to setup basic home audio system You could Get a pair of Vanatoo Transparent 1 Encore active speakers and stream to it from any computer phone or tablet via Bluetooth and have a few hundred to spare. Very nice first system! I have a pair in my wife’s sunroom and they are very g... | |
| This looks like a terrible investment He lives right down the road from me. Will keep an eye out for that yard sale. | |

| the sound of massed violins in classical orchestral recordings No doubt due to the detail and transient response required massed strings and violin in particular are one of the tougher challenges and often one of the last things folks get a handle on, if it matters to them. |
