Standalone Room Correction Component

feedback wanted Reference 3A speakers???
Nyaudio,To clarify my earlier post:I believe that EVERY small (or smallish) speaker must make trade-offs. I'd argue that it's a matter of physics; AFAIK, proper reproduction of the bottom octave + cannot be achieved from a small box. I actually li... 
Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em?
Finsup,I use my Ohm 100s with Rythmik subs. I use an Audyssey enabled Onkyo pre-pro to integrate the subs and provide room correction. The system sounds awfully good and I think it's going on 2 years without a component change - probably a persona... 
Standalone Room Correction Component
Audyssey made a stand-alone unit at one time, but I'm not sure if it's still available. I believe that TACT made one, too - but I mention it with the same caveat re: current availability.Marty 
need help with outdoor system
I was in precisely the same boat last year, so I'll share my experience. Sonos is a great solution (I have 10 zones in my home), but it doesn't necessarily address your issue. Sonos doesn't make an outdoor product - I wish they did! You could inst... 
feedback wanted Reference 3A speakers???
I had deCapos for quite a while. I think they employ a very specific set of trade-offs to achieve a specific result.They combine better bass extension than most stand mounted monitors with a truly neutral octave to octave tonal balance. That's unu... 
Question on the Integra DHC 40.2 Pre-Pro
Pdn,In my view, Audyssey is a stunner...an absolute game changer. If this is your first go-round with it, I think you may be amazed. Subwoofer integration is seamless and clarity in the lower registers is eye (ear?) opening. Not everyone agrees wi... 
Stevie Ray Vaughan
For me, SRV and Gary Moore were pretty different animals. Unlike Moore, Stevie had that Texas flavored thing going on. And, while he was undeniably a wonderful player, I always thought Gary Moore was fighting an uphill battle for recognition for s... 
Lottery Winner would buy what kind of Stereo Gear
I love the big MBL speakers, but I don't think my home would be set up for the gold on white MBL look. OTOH....If you're gonna go the route of the guy in the MBL video, make sure that you reserve a few bucks for the red silk ascot. And don't forge... 
Question on the Integra DHC 40.2 Pre-Pro
I use two Integra AVRs (not the 40.2,tho) and an Onkyo pre-pro in various rooms in my home. I've never used the tone controls on any of the units because I let Audyssey do the set up and have never found the need to tweak further - other than redu... 
Anyone Using Bose 901 speakers In A Home Theater?
The Klipsch KLF may be terrific speakers (I've never heard 'em,so no comment here on SQ either way), but they are 180 degrees opposite from the bose 901 in "application logic". If the idea is wide dispersion from the surrounds for coverage of a ve... 
The most overlooked album
Vince's hot girlfriend from Entourage, right? If she can sing, too, I'll be pissed. Hot AND talented just isn't right!MartyWill check it out, though. 
Best Place to order cd`s
Al,Are you seeking a particular benefit relative to Amazon: Price, selection, audiophile SQ, etc?It might be easier to make a recommendation if I knew where Amazon was leaving you short.MartyBTW, I'll second MOG - a great resource, tho not physica... 
can you ID this music for me?
Try Cliff at DAG. He produced most of Lance's videos and probably owns the content (I'd think). If he thought he could sell a few copies, Cliff might be inclined to give your idea a go. I still thinks you're playing with fire, tho. 
can you ID this music for me?
Rx8,You don't want to go there! If you work your way thru Lance's demos, the resultant gear lust will eat up whatever few remaining $ you have after the high end audio lust has worked its evil spell. I agree that the Springer sounds unusually grea...
