Bookshelf + sub vs. floorstanding
Dutch & Dutch 8C + HSU VTF-2 MK5  If you have other gear, receiver or whatnot, just sell it, use the cash for more treatment or the next step up HSU (or dual).    __________________________But yes, for your setup, I’d much have a 2.2 bookshelf... 
Is biamping worth the time and effort with emerald physics? 4.3.
No. It’s a 95dB sensitive speaker that can handle 150W RMS. I bet even a 25W amp would be way more than enough. 
just to clarify
I like the do that, just leave the bridge plate and use the external amps to power the whole speaker. The T2 is around 90dB sensitive if I remember correctly, ~100W should get you reference peaks. Just leave the center powered by the Denon. Also, ... 
Audyssey and Tritons
@secretguy    Get a pair of Rythmik FV18’s and report back ;) 
Should I Upgrade to Latest HDMI?
HDR is noticabke regardless of viewing distance, you are probably thinking about 4K, but for your setup, you would still benefit from 4K, as you get full 1080p at ~30° viewing angle, and you are at ~35.5°.    HDR gives a few benefits:    * Brighte... 
Subwoofer recommendation for Dynaudio Confidence C4
@audiotroy Rel makes some of the best woofers on the market known for speed, accuracy and integration. I don’t disagree that they make well performing subs, just that there are equally performing subs for cheaperSalk makes decent speakers using ot... 
Audyssey and Tritons
@stereo5 True full range means they can achieve 105dB at 20Hz in the seating position, which they cannot do. 
REL Subwoofer: Speakon or RCA?
@dlcockrum    Nice breakdown.    One thing I would like to touch on:   REL SUB-BASS SYSTEMS are designed to provide room pressurization of frequencies around and below 20hz and to slightly augment bass performance of full-range loudspeakers in tha... 
REL Subwoofer: Speakon or RCA?
@daveyf    Not an opinion, based on pure performance, an equally priced sub from say Rythmik, SVS, PSA, JTR, etc. will easily outperform it. REL doesn’t offer deeper extension, louder output, better microdynamics, more musicality, etc. In today’s ... 
Subwoofer recommendation for Dynaudio Confidence C4
2 subwoofers offer better room and system integration. You get better seat-to-seat consistency, less peaks and dips, less localizability, deeper extension or louder output, etc.    REL sub’s are a bit over-rated.    If you don’t have bass mangemen... 
REL Subwoofer: Speakon or RCA?
Using Speakon is the only good thing about REL. If you were to use RCA, there’s a lot of other subs that perform much better. 
narrow and wide baffles and imaging
The width of the baffle really only affects the baffle step. If the crossover designer knows what they are doing, there is very little difference. Having chamfered edges or a curved face (like the LS50’s) have a bigger impact than the width of the... 
Audyssey and Tritons
Subwoofers need to be set further away in the settings in order to time-allign them as their amps take a few milliseconds to process the signal. So, it’d be out of sync if not.    If you don’t have external subs, set your speakers to Large and sub... 
Who said “ flat freq response “ is the best?
Human studies.    If your gear measures perfectly flat on-axis in an anechoic chamber, and it has ideal off-axis (steadily and evenly sloping the further you go), then it will sound good in a “typical room”.     Now, the room does play a large rol... 
ATMOS speakers
Are you looking for Front Height or Top Middle speakers? Atmos speakers should not be near the side walls, they should be in-line with the front L/R speakers, and reach at least 100Hz in-room. If the room isn’t very wide, you can mount them on the...
