| Raven Osprey vs Octave 110 with low sensitivity speakers Actually, my measurement microphone has an omni pickup pattern and so is less directional than my ears. I've had no problem in getting what I measure to correlate with what I hear in terms of general loudness and how that relates to my amp's pow... | |
| Bass is clearer and more impactful when I stand vs. when I sit This also illustrates why placing speakers in a room often requires some degree of compromise If full range speakers with no sub are used, the spot that generates the best bass response may not work well for imaging and vice versa. And while a s... | |
| Raven Osprey vs Octave 110 with low sensitivity speakers feliks -- how loud do you listen in terms of dB level? (Forget the subjective terms of "loud" and "moderate" as those mean different things to different people.) Get yourself a sound level meter if you don't already have one. Power and loudness a... | |
| Right speakers for big room limited to small room placement options Check out Ohms. | |
| Help! Spakers damaged during shipping?Paid insurance (with proof)being told not Insured? While several have pointed out the desirability of keeping the original shipping boxes for the product, that doesn't appear to be the basis of the denied claim in this particular case. It looks like Audiogon accepted responsibility for obtaining c... | |
| Help! Spakers damaged during shipping?Paid insurance (with proof)being told not Insured? If I read this thread correctly, it looks like Audiogon took an order and accepted payment for the shipping insurance and then failed to actually place coverage with their carrier. As a commercial insurance broker for over 40 years (and have actu... | |
| Schiit Freya order delay, no clue when it will arrive Your complaint seems to be growing in size as time progresses. It had been about the delivery date of the Freya, an $889 unit. Now you are paying "thousands"? And their "marketing materials are dreadful"? Interesting. | |
| Schiit Freya+ or Saga+? Vidar or Aegir? The output voltage of a line source component should be shown on the specs page of their marketing material or owners manual. The "more power is always better" mantra is the more popular approach these days -- I think the popularity of Class D a... | |
| Economical full-range floor-standing speaker options? I'd suggest you not get overly obsessed with the plus/minus dB range, whether 1 or 3. Once you put a speaker in any room in a home environment, whatever they measured in an anechoic chamber is changed, even with room treatments. Plus, there are... | |
| Schiit Freya order delay, no clue when it will arrive Hope you didn't strain yourself too badly in patting yourself on the back...;-) | |
| Finally found THE SPEAKER!!! Glad you found the perfect speakers for you, but I have to say in looking at Wisdom's web site, it is rather a mess. A ton of products with little clarity or explanation of the differences between them and what's best for what situations. One cou... | |
| Is Raspberry Pi 4B that good! I've been extremely pleased with my RPi 4B player. It runs Picoreplayer and outputs via USB into my Bifrost DAC (I also have a Topping E-30.) The RPi has a 7" touch screen attached so it can display what's playing and also select and control what'... | |
| Schiit Freya+ or Saga+? Vidar or Aegir? I have a Saga+ and a single Aegir running my 88 dB sensitive Ohm 1000 speakers. I moved to this combo after using a much higher power Hypex Class D amp. At my preferred listening volume (around 85 dB max average), the Saga/Aegir combo has more bod... | |
| Qobuz Trial The cost to "invest" in LMS (Logitech Media Server) is zero -- it's free. And it can be installed on Windows PCs, Mac's and Linux machines (include Raspberry Pi's), so it makes a great option even if you don't feel like spending big bucks on an of... | |
| Qobuz Trial I've had Qobuz for about 2 years and really enjoy it. The sound quality is excellent and the selection of material vast. However, to find music, I don't use the Qobuz player interface much. I use the Logitech Media Server with my players to not o... |
