| Buy or stay with? It looks like those speakers can’t do what you want by looking at the spec sheet. If you like the CV sound, but want more umph, getting a good sub or 2 would be one way. It seems that SVS has some good performance bargains available that can do wh... | |
| Standmount speaker suggestion $9500 for a plywood box (semi-finished?) and some off-the-shelf drivers? Wow. I'm also curious about how they got 92dB sensitivity from a bookshelf with a 5.25" woofer and a claimed 44Hz low frequency range. | |
| REW with subwoofers When I used REW for my system with dual subs, I started with just one active. Once I got that dialed-in the best I could, I then added in the second one. This way, if there were any phase issues between the two subs and somewhat the mains, I cou... | |
| External Speaker Volume Control Just google "speaker selector with volume control." There are several available for cheap. Plus, they have impedance matching so your amp will last. | |
| Ø Audio anyone? @willywonka Sort-of.... Steve Guttenberg doesn't do any review for gear he doesn't like. If he gets in a product that he doesn't care for, he just sends it back to the manufacturer and never mentions it on his channel. If he gets in gear he do... | |
| Shipping costs- WTF Yes, PirateShip all the way. | |
| No love for Cube Audio speakers? Have you reached out to TMRAudio in CO? | |
| No love for Cube Audio speakers? One challenge is the shipping cost of towers now. That's also a more obscure manufacturer than something like a Wilson/ Magico/ Sonus Faber/ etc. So you're just waiting on that one buyer that knows they want a Cube audio tower speaker and can ea... | |
| Budget floorstanders under $500 ? Hopefully after 16 years the OP found a solution. | |
| Bose Chucks Mac It was a good move. McIntosh wasn't getting the representation it deserves in those stores. The people going to BestBuy are looking to buy those dopey color changing light bulbs or some Ring cameras, not $10k pieces of audio gear. | |
| Are internal component upgrades worth it. I think addressing the cabinet concerns with adding internal bracing and something like Norez would yield much greater results than messing with the crossovers. If I was a novice, that's something that I'd look at first. If that's a bit beyond... | |
| How long should high quality speakers last? Our 1959 Bozaks in our bedroom still look and sound great. | |
| Good stores in LA Hopefully after 16 years the OP was able to find one. | |
| Which is best, using balanced or non-balanced connection? Which is better? Yes. | |
| 300 Watt Tube Monoblocks How about the Audio Research Reference 330M or maybe the 750SEL if you're into overkill? |
