| Magnepan, Ohm, Spatial or ?? Can't vouch for seller but there is seemingly nice pair of white Spatial M4 just up for sale here today for a very reasonable price. I was half tempted....would be fully if I needed another pair of speakers. | |
| Decware and SET Low Power Tube Amps with Hi Efficency Speakers Would like to hear from anyone who owns both decware amp and speakers. Seems like a very good value option for those interested in an affordable set amp System. | |
| What's the worst speaker or stereo set-up you've ever seen? A very high end dealer in NYC and another high but not quite as high dealer in North Jersey. Both setups were probably defective. I heard new Wharfdale Linton Heritage speakers on the bundled stands last week. Not sure about that. Sound was tizzy ... | |
| Don't like vinyl Not a fan of antiques, eh? | |
| Magnepan, Ohm, Spatial or ?? Jerry,Yes, everything sounds better with a Lava Lamp.Those are classic Boston A40s along the side wall, one under chess table. I am original owner and refoamed a couple years back. Great little speakers! I use them for sound off wall mounted TV ab... | |

| Magnepan, Ohm, Spatial or ?? Regarding room treatments, I would only spend effort on that after all else is dialed in and only as an option.If you find the bass to be a bit much or not articulate or obscuring the midrange, do try the isolating pads under the Ohms.In my L shap... | |
| Magnepan, Ohm, Spatial or ?? I’m guessing because that looks like a pretty lively room with wood floors so better to not put something too big in there. You can always add bass but not take it away very easily though isolating from the floor can help make more bass less intru... | |
| Magnepan, Ohm, Spatial or ?? Ohm Walsh actually need less distance to walls than many others. They are specifically designed for that by default. They will do a wall to wall sound stage normally so giving them room to breathe does have benefit in that sense. | |
| Streaming: WiFi or wired?? CakyolThat is true however I have seen some network switch product white papers that claim network Wire noise can make its way Into the signal from streamer to dac where it might have an effect on jitter that might be heard in some cases. The swit... | |
| Magnepan, Ohm, Spatial or ?? On upper levels I put my ohm 100s on Auralex subdude pads to tame the bass compared to foundation level. Isolation from suspended plywood floors is almost always a good idea IMHO. |
