Using 2 Subwoofers
I'm going to be a bit contrary. I have a similar sized room and it is also open on one side. I have a JLf112 that I placed in front just inside my right main speaker in a position commonly recommended byt JL , THX, etc. I ran the JL equalization a... 
Blu-ray vs HD digital?
is there actually a way to run HD or BR on a server? I thought that the format is still locked up. 
The Best Best Speaker Thread
besterer? 
PMC speakers vs B&W... has anyone compared?
my sound engineer can beat up your sound engineer. 
PSB Alpha B1 for Peachtree Nova
could consider their own speakers the era d4 or d5. i have a set of each and like them fine. assume that they made sure the nova sounds good with their own stuff. 
Does the quality of a digital signal matter?
let me ask a related but slightly different question. I read often of a player being colored. THere is a thread right now about a music hall player being slightly "forward" and "bright". All things equal and in a world where jitter is the dominate... 
Does the quality of a digital signal matter?
Curious. In Jea48's linked article the implication was that the level of jitter was related to or at least different for different frequency levels of sound (presumably after the DAC). Someone straighten me out on this. It seems to me that the bit... 
What are we really trying to replicate?
my take1) all the time. Most of the stuff I listen to was initially put out with Marshall stacks with a swarm of 2 inch paper tweeters and 12 or 15 inch woofers. I cant hang with the volume (Dont want to either) but from a quality standpoint my sp...

What are the best small not bookshelf speakers?
Is there a room that you can mess with without WAF at play? if so go TV speakers in other room and watch movies in your room. I had WAF mini-issues until she heard her favorite movies with the full monty. Now the system is in the living room. neve...

Looking for a compact speaker w/ some low end kick
I've been happy with the bass performance of my ERA D5's. I also liked the totem rainmakers but I thought the low end was a bit better on the D5. If you have the bucks the Dynaudio C1 is a pretty ripping unit for such a small package.YMMVLuck 
Just One Shelf...
maybe a stupid question but what does a one shelf solution actually mean? Speakers only (or speaker only?) speaker(S) plus some electronic? anything that would sound better that fits on one shelf? 
Will there be any 'Arrow' mark in a Fuse holder?
My problem if you will is that I see two questions on all these products. 1) does it work? 2) does the vendor explanation make any sense?for 1) I most often need to listen myself. FOr #2 I find if the explanation is BS I automatically form a negat...
