| Speaker crossovers https://silversmithaudio.com/blog/customer-feedback14/ Here's my system with DIY open baffles (Yes, I made them). Not saying they're the best, but they're the most open, detailed speakers I've ever owned. | |

| Speaker placement L.O.T.S. Loudspeaker Optimization Techniques for Soundstage! Ran across this a little while ago. You might find it helpful. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CyTkwkK8ON0&t=1015s It's pretty straight forward and he explains it every step of the... | |
| What DAC upgrade made you say “DAMN, that sounds SO MUCH better than my last DAC”? I had a Calyx Femto DAC. It was excellent but I sold it and bought my current DAC, T + A DAC 8 DSD. It has many options for PCM or DSD with multiple filters and settings. I bought it because it was capable of converting everything to DSD @ 48/... | |
| Do any of you kids , want your system ??? I've thought about it but I think the answer is no. I can't begin to imagine trying to explain all the tweaks. 3 kids in their 30's and they all like music. My husband and I played vinyl all the time they were growing up, but none of them are crit... | |
| This is the list of the best makers of audio equipment. Respond if you disagree I disagree. How do you know? Did you compare "every" level of every brand before picking your "list of the best makers of audio equipment?" How much money and time did it take to come to your conclusions? I'd say it would take a walloping lot of ... | |
| How old are you? @justmetoo, stepping up to your challenge as a fellow female.I'm 64 and presently working on a pair of DIY open baffle speakers. Right up there with my passion for music is a passion for woodworking :) | |
| Speaker crossovers Thanks to you all pointing me in the right direction, I've spent some time doing due diligence. I now have Lii Crystal 10 full range drivers burning in (almost 200 hours) on open baffles and am expecting a pair of Acoustic Elegance dipole 15 woof... | |
| I was told to put Kitty Litter in my new speaker stands. Was he joking? If not fill your stands with mercury. If you have any mercury left over mix it with equal parts vodka and lime juice and drink it while listening to the results of your labors. Wouldn't be the best choice. There's a very good reason they stopp... | |
| Audiophile demographics? Here we are again. Remember May 2016 "Do female audiophiles exist?" and 2005 "Audiophiles...Why men? Any women here?" Not a new question. I and several other female audiophiles responded. But here we are years later, kicking the same question abou... | |
| Speaker crossovers millercarbon, how (besides reading) do we learn if we don't ask? Even students have teachers. Nobody starts out an expert :) oldhvymec, sounds like you might've built speakers. What kind? Never knew there were specific drivers for open baffle. O... | |
| New to 2.2 Stereo...Pointers? Sorry oldhvymec, but what is a bass bin? I had the subs crossover set to the lowest Hz on their dials (30 Hz HSU, 50 Hz SVS). My speakers are full range floor standers. https://www.monitoraudio.com/e... | |
| Is Wife Acceptance Factor (WAF) sexist? Bottom line, WAF speaks of 1. the one who is NOT (so much) into music, 2. the one who is NOT buying equipment and placing it in the main living space (dedicated listening spaces only need the main listener's approval) 3. the one who is NOT twea... | |
| Doe you enjoy your listening to music and your system more with others or alone? Mostly alone for total enjoyment and ownership of the sweet spot (recliner). My husband may mosey in and request something every now and then. I share certain songs with my kids sometimes. But when the family gathered (pre-COVID era), I 'd usually... | |
| Don't like vinyl I like (not love) vinyl and I don't even have an expensive set up. But to clarify, my collection is limited to LP's & 45's I heard as a youngster and teenager. (My mother belonged to Columbia Record Club for a while). Had a ton of fun spending... |
