Appreciate Some Dac Advice
+1 on the Pontus II……  
Spatial X5 speakers
I don’t own the speakers anymore, but I thought I remembered 90 hz as the xover point. Maybe someone here can clarify.  
Spatial X5 speakers
Yes the X series has powered subs. Only the lower driver is the sub, the 12” driver handles mid bass and midrange duties.  
Klipsch!. The worst speaker company, EVER?
+1 @allears4u  I am the happy owner of a pair of LS IIs myself. You are right, when it all comes together it’s sublime. Takes a little patience, but get the placement and the supporting cast right and they are hard to beat at any sane cost.  
Spatial X5 speakers
As I mentioned before, the 20 watts of a Decware Torii were not enough to drive X3s to a satisfying level.  
Room Ceiling Height for 2 channel listening - is taller always better?

Has anyone heard the new Eric Alexander signature speakers the matrix LS?
Yet another thread to go down the toilet. Two days in and already five removed posts. Yah!      
I2S music server for Denafrips Ponuts

Spatial X5 speakers
Even though you would think the X series speakers would be great with a low powered tube amp, the Decware Torii I had at the time would not drive the speakers sufficiently in my room. This amp had sounded wonderful with a pair of khorns, but sound... 
Sound System on $10K Budget
@webking185  Another example of someone rallying against something they know nothing of. “My cheap (insert product A here) is as good as your expensive (insert product B here)” Budget systems have a place and can sound very good. But it’s not th...
