| Can a power amp have too much power, risking damage to a speaker? You'll likely damage your hearing before the speakers | |

| If you have a nice system why do you really need room treatments? There are two aspects to room treatment. One is to improve the balance of the frequency response and minimize room modes, mostly on the low end. This generally requires both diffusion and absorption. Not all rooms need this, and it can be addresse... | |
| If you have a nice system why do you really need room treatments? Have you ever listened in an acoustically ideal room? Think about why some people use headphones exclusively. A properly treated room will make your speakers sound like giant headphones. You'll hear the sound field embedded in the recording instea... | |
| Best for Classic/Progressive Rock and Blues @audition__audio The JBL line is different. The woofers are descendants of the original D130 woofer used in the early JBL HiFi speakers in the 1950s. This speaker, and its many variations, also became the dominant speakers in electric guitar amp... | |
| Best for Classic/Progressive Rock and Blues @akgwhiz The original xover is part of the magic of those models. They are not designed for inductors like the Gravesen design. The way the drivers overlap in frequency ranges above 1500hz is key to their powerful sound. I still enjoy mine. | |
| diffusion at first reflective points + what ive learned about room treatments The primary goal of using absorption is to reduce reverb times. With no back wall, this may be less necessary. By having surfaces that slope, or are not parallel, room modes are reduced as well. So the diffusion adds to this, creating a nice acous... | |

| Can you use both RCA and XLR interconnects into the amplifier? I would be careful. My Parasound A23+ has both inputs and a switch but I don't think they're isolated. When I accidentally put the switch in the wrong position, sound still comes through but a different level. Yours may be different. | |
| Best for Classic/Progressive Rock and Blues Vintage JBLs like 4311, 4312, and many in the L series can be found for $6-800. If they're all original and in good condition,they will fulfill your wishes. | |

| Going Tubing +1 LTA Microzotl. I bought a used MZ2 and couldn't be happier. I was lucky in getting one of the last ones made, and the circuit board looks more like the MZ3. It's just a beautiful open sound, amplified by a SS amp. It's my first foray into tube ... | |
| AES Video "What Does 'Accurate' Even Mean? with James D. "jj" Johnston Great thoughts. Having been to many AES conventions, there are always good sessions about home listening. I especially like his idea of a threshold of quality and head movement. The psychoacoustics issues fascinate me. | |
| In-Room responce measurement with Legacy Focus SE speakers What @erik_squires said. Room reflections are distortion. |
