| Swarming! dnicol: " @noble100 I see you're running a 326S, (380S here) are you splitting an unbalanced out for the SA1000? I'm also going to try setting xover point lower as well. I do like the phase straight up at 90 though."Hello dnicol, The 326S has... | |
| Should people who can't solder, build or test their speakers be considered audiophiles? mahgister: " If we think one second, we can say this thread reveal more about the OP than about each people participating at the end...."

Hello kren0006, I could be wrong but I don't think many individuals find the idea of constantly adjusting their sub's level and xover settings, to optimize the bass by track, acceptable or even feasible. I know I wouldn't. I believe most... | |
| Should people who can't solder, build or test their speakers be considered audiophiles? My car’s mileage recently passed 71K miles so I’ve been absent from this forum for a few weeks researching which newer/lower mileage used buggy to swap it out for.

| Should people who can't solder, build or test their speakers be considered audiophiles? I only read books with pictures, those little ones with the cartoon like colorful action drawings. My predominate allure in this hobby has always been the music, understanding that my attraction is almost completely emotional in nature. Personall... | |

| Native High-Resolution versus Red Book Standard Audio: A Perceptual Discrimination Survey angelwars: " Waldrep's main gripe is old analogue recordings being sold as 'Hi Res' when they never were in the first place - not that there is anything wrong with old analogue or digital recordings made at CD spec but it's misleading to say they... | |
| speaker stands--general considerations The responses on this thread topic just illustrates the different approaches we all take with our systems; stand mounted monitor or floor standing type speakers, restricted low frequency or full range speakers, with subs or without, etc.... | |
| Should people who can't solder, build or test their speakers be considered audiophiles? millercarbon: If you could only see the worlds I’ve seen.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_JjJzMBGUwo What a shame!

| Levinson 5805 Hello no_money, It's been my experience that ML gear in general is very good at portraying a very good three dimensional sound stage that is solid and stable while also being very realistic/palpable and natural. I believe having plenty of hig... | |
| Should people who can't solder, build or test their speakers be considered audiophiles? Well said, brianjacobs. Looking back on this long thread, I'm thinking the underlying theme could be how we each choose during our lifetimes, on a daily basis, whether to be, or not to be, a dick.Tim | |
| Swarming! Yes, the Dayton is not operating correctly if there's a thump, buzz or hum. With my AK Debra, I found the overall bass sounded boosted if any of the subs were positioned within about 2 feet of a corner. It won't harm anything even if you p... | |
