| 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. | |
| Is positive reinforcement why things are sounding better? +1 @baylinor | |
| 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. | |
| Lowend amp The Parasound A23+ is in your price range. Damping factor >800. Class A/AB 160w@8ohms. | |
| The Midnight Effect - Who-How? I "warm up" my ears before seriously listening. I start at very low volume while "getting my head together". I allow my brain to "tune in" to whatever is on at that volume until I can hear details and depth. At some point the "switch gets flipped"... | |

| The real truth about recordings @soix That's how I feel about sausage. I just want it to taste good. But tasty sounding recordings are something I want to know more about. | |
| SEEKING ADVICE: Which component would you upgrade first? If you want more modern electronics, look at Rotel. Modestly priced, good quality, and nice features in their integrated amps. | |

| You don't lack bass, you have too much treble @curiousjim I also have a sensitivity around those frequencies where trumpets, sax, and certain guitar notes sound annoyingly loud. Less toe in did make a big difference as does room treatment. That frequency is typically around 2-3k and unfortu... | |
| Amp, Preamp, two volume pots, there can be only one! I solved that problem with a Schiit Kara preamp, but any good quality passive preamp will work. I simply run the output of my Microzotl pre into an input. In passive mode the volume control acts as an inline attenuator. I set mine about 2 o'clock ... | |
| You don't lack bass, you have too much treble Both. Absorption will reduce the brightness and diffusion will scatter the sound so room resonance frequencies are not emphasized. GIK has some nice slat diffusers in different absorption depths. 4" works well for most rooms. Most of their panels ... |
