| Your sub experience: Easy or hard? My first experience with a pair of subs was difficult to the point where the best spot still resulted in unsatisfactory bass. The best spot was hard to find with asymmetric placement but neither in a corner. The bass was flat except for except a ... | |
| My subwoofer trials and tribulations. With so many apparent new subwoofer owners, it is tips like this that can be a good starting point for those in a rut. Ask me how I know ;). My experience with REL is the placement is the key, not only relative to the room but also to the speakers... | |
| Sabrina X Anyone Add Subwoofer(s) The reason to high pass main speakers is to keep them from messing up the bass if they are messing up the bass. I begrudgingly bought a crossover one only to solve that issue. The phase control on JL audio subs is set at 80Hz, which is their prefe... | |
| Sabrina X Anyone Add Subwoofer(s) A subwoofer can certainly improve clarity by using them to smooth frequency response. I would highly suggest room measurements to better define your issue before going further. Measurements are an efficient and accurate way to improve listening ex... | |
| Large speaker recommendation While JBL and Revel would natural choices for ML amplification and have ’big’ sound, they are both large departures from the SF sound. I kind of think used Wilson Sasha and Rockport speakers. There are a lot of good speakers for you to choose from... | |
| Best Home HIFi you’ve listened to I do not currently have audiophile friends. Albert Porter was nice enough to have me at his home while I was still in college. He had Soundlabs at the time, but I was most struck by the sound of his Walker turntable over SACD, which was the thing ... | |

| The past meets the future @ghdprentice How would you compare the sound quality between your digital and analog setup? They seem to be roughly even investments. The decision in allocating money towards digital vs analog has been a bit of a decision for myself, but ended up... | |
| Sub Pairing With Harbeth 40.3 XDs @jl1ny Sorry to interrupt but I am curious in what way is the S510 better than the T9. Room setup was the same for both models? | |
| Sub Pairing With Harbeth 40.3 XDs Installing subwoofers requires an even frequency response with limited decay to get tight bass. Multiple subs and feature sets included is subs are other tools to make this happen. With my limited experience I would suggest a larger subwoofer like... | |
| How do you make a final decision on a DAC I went with a Bricasti M3 largely to save money with its built in streamer. I also have positive prior experience with the brand's demos, and the resale value is stable. My initial interest was in Totaldac from prior demo experience and Holger Ad... | |
