| Do You Unplug Equipment During Thunderstorms? Yes, absolutely! | |
| Replacing JL Audio F112 v1 @soix You are probably right. | |
| Replacing JL Audio F112 v1 If one has mid level mains, SVS or Rythmic are fine but they won't be fast enough to do the high end Focals justice. Speed is not about how fast they make sound but actually how fast they stop making a sound and get out of the way again. Power ... | |
| I'm curious. What is your "normal" listening volume? Peaks are at around 80db, but it seems that as my stereo system became more refined (mostly more costly components) I lowered the volume. My usual is in between 70-75db. | |
| Buying used audio equipment in peron in Canada Get a second invoice and say you took it up to be repaired and that it was yours all along. (this from a Canadian and former NYC resident) To be fair someone already paid the tax on it when it was bought. The governments want you to pay tax on thi... | |
| Replacing JL Audio F112 v1 Rhythmic G22's - get 2 of them. Dual opposing sealed 12" drivers. I have 2 with my Focal setup, I removed my REL S812's for these. Much better in every respect. | |
| Why do I have to prove I am a human, every time I refresh a page on this site ? @thecarpathian : okay, you got me. lol. | |
| Why do I have to prove I am a human, every time I refresh a page on this site ? @thecarpathian : This method actually does prove that you are human. It's the way you touch the screen or use the mouse. A computer will do it in an exacting way whereas a human will not. Look look it up, it's actually quite interesting and quic... | |
| Ugliest Component of the Year 2024! Anything from Wilson Audio. | |
| Borresen X3 measurements I think the Borrensen line of speakers deliver some of the most grating and unpleasant sound I've heard in a very long time. My ears hear these speakers and they are just sound incredibly harsh. I don't really care if they measure well or not, I c... | |
| Reliability - what’s your experience been? Can only speak to the Bryston and Simaudio... both companies are stellar with repairs and service. | |
| Wilson Watt 3/Puppy 2 Loudspeaker @lanx0003 For 3K providing the crossover inside them is still in great condition (but these are really old) they will still have a less than stellar upper range. (there is just no way these speakers will be 'bright') And please remember that th... | |
| Wilson Watt 3/Puppy 2 Loudspeaker I wouldn't buy them. They will have great lows and quite a bit of punch but no high end articulation. Like other reviewers, I'm not dead yet and I owned a pair of fives, I would also say that a pair of 13 to $16,000 loudspeakers could easily out m... | |
| McIntosh MC312 vs. ARC Reference 150 I fooled around with MacIntosh and ARC, once upon a time. It was expensive. I ended up dumping all my Macintosh for all brand new ARC equipment. Nowadays I have a mixture of ARC and solid state. I think the comments above are correct, Macintosh i... | |
| Are REL the most Musical Subs? There is no boom in a REL sub because most of the RELs don’t go down far enough to create one. I always think of REL subs as woofers but not subwoofers. Saying this, I have owned many different subs, including 2 rel S812s, which I sold to buy two... |
