| How do I know if I need a sub woofer? @atmasphere wrote: I use the Swarm subs as well and can also recommend them. That despite the fact my main speakers are flat to 20Hz. That meant I only needed a pair of the Swarm subs to do the job. What I like about them is they are designed to... | |

| Dispersion, narrow, controlled, or bi? @audiokinesis wrote: Sweet! I really like your radiation pattern choice, it’s wide enough and consistent enough to give very good coverage of the listening area, but not so wide that you have an excess of early-onset reflections. And you wi... | |
| Dispersion, narrow, controlled, or bi? @audiokinesis wrote: Me too! But I haven’t done anything as large as your speakers (yet), so you are getting good radiation pattern control down lower than I am. What are the radiation patterns of your big horn and tweeter, if you don’t mind? ... | |
| Dispersion, narrow, controlled, or bi? I prefer a large radiation area and front firing, tall horn or horn hybrid design with a controlled, narrow and fairly uniform dispersion pattern. Smaller and lower horn-based designs tend to be too "beamy" and upfront sounding for my taste and mo... | |
| Does Anyone Else Have a Very Slow Connection to Audiogon? It had a really slow response time earlier today, but for some hours now has been running fairly smooth/swift. | |
| Does anyone own a tri amped system in Florida I could hear? @tlcocks -- It depends on the approach you want to pursue: with passive bi-amping I don’t see the obvious benefits to make it worthwhile and would rather invest the money on a single amp. However, if you want to see how deep the rabbit hole real... | |

I know it wasn’t available in the states the last I heard. It’s still sold here in Denmark, but they may be emptying the stock that’s lef... | |

| ??? Where Does "High End" Start ??? @devinplombier wrote: ASR: "All amps sound the same, just get the one with the best SINAD. Ditch your preamp, it only adds distortion. 192 Kbps is all the digital resolution anyone ever needs. Just buy whatever that’s rated Golfing Panther and y... | |
| ??? Where Does "High End" Start ??? @whart wrote: In that era, which I lived through, it was probably easier to distinguish: it was not a receiver, plastic-y turntable and a set of bookshelf speakers (although some acquitted themselves well). Instead, it was separates- preamp/basi... | |
| Biamp & how many others As poster @ditusa pointed to, bi-amping isn’t just bi-amping. In the pro segment "bi-amping" is usually understood as that which implies active configuration (and, it seems, even as a descriptive, general term when tri- or quad-amping is actually ... | |
