| Logitech Touch vs Duet Can you use the duet remote with the logitech touch unit?Yes. That's the way I do it in my system. (I even sold my Duet Receiver and just kept the Controller.) It is rare that I play music directly from the Touch's screen. | |
| Is the Transporter gone out of production forever? I don't know the exact, official status of the Transporter but you're right, it is missing from the product line up now. However it was doomed to go out at some point since the visual display modules used in it were no longer being manufactured. I... | |
| What percentage of audiophiles use a sub ? Given the lack of the brick wall that you described, why wouldn't that be clearly understandable that such an effect were possible? The question is not whether it is clearly understandable, but what does one do about it? There are multiple complex... | |
| What percentage of audiophiles use a sub ? My case is a bit extraordinary in that my subs are integral to the speaker design and the speaker itself. The midrange driver handles above 100hz, and the integral subs are 10hz-100hz. So indeed the 65hz frequency of a cellos low notes is changed ... | |
| What percentage of audiophiles use a sub ? Yes, having a cello sound like a cello certainly does make sense, and in that case, a cello does sound more authentic to it's natural sound when (well-)augmented at the low end. The lowest note on a cello is C2 which is about 65 Hz. That doesn't ... | |
| What percentage of audiophiles use a sub ? Certainly I completely agree that subs are not "necessary" to enjoy acoustic music, but in my experience they can enhance my enjoyment of it.The problem with these types of discussions is that people prioritize things in different orders. I'll agr... | |
| Logitech Touch vs Duet Of course you could also get a Sonos system and save yourself a lot of grief. Just curious - from what grief would I be saving myself? | |
| What percentage of audiophiles use a sub ? Martykl, I actually think we're in substantial agreement. Summed up, both of us are saying that adding a well integrated subwoofer to a system is a lot of work to get right. My added comment is that, if not done properly, you can end up worse off. | |
| What percentage of audiophiles use a sub ? I think that if a lot of the anti-subwoofer crowd let a professional home theater calibrator come into their room with some subwoofers, a good means of filtering the bass below 80hz out of the mains, and a couple of days to make it all work - they... | |
| Bring on the criticism... That's funny, but really what's wrong with this setup? I'm serious?Depends on what's important to you when you listen. Assuming the amp set-up can handle it, extra speakers can give you more volume and bass.The drawbacks include a loss of precisio... | |
| Logitech Touch vs Duet For a slightly different take, I have several Slimdevices. I currently have a Touch, a SB3 and a Radio. I owned a Duet (and still have the Controller and use it with the other players). I also auditioned a Transporter some years back. (The reason ... | |
| Logitech Duet vs. Dedicated Transport I've done both. My experience is that as long as you have a good wireless connection there is no difference in sound quality between the two connection types. Some people do have wireless difficulties due to competing networks or other interferenc... | |
| Please...Advice For The Speakerly Challenged It looks like a couple of preferences have developed for you. Why don't you find out who offers a home audition? Your room acoustics is going to have a major influence on how well any given speaker works for you. | |
| What percentage of audiophiles use a sub ? I'd have to say that a good percentage of the systems that include subs that I've heard don't impress me. The bass is overblown and unnatural and doesn't much resemble the live acoustic music I enjoy. That's not to say a sub that has been well mat... | |
| Room acoustics how ? My image is not centered You've got a tough situation, especially with the glass wall on the right - that is very reflective. The masonry wall is probably less so, especially if the masonry has any texture. The good thing is that you can experiment with acoustics very ine... |
