| Why did you purchase the equipment you have and what do you like most about it? From the 80’s and two decades ahead have been through a more traditional range of speaker brands (i.e.: lower efficiency, direct radiating) like JMLab, Snell, Spendor, JBL, Amphion, Peak Consult, Raidho and S.P. Technology before verging into the ... | |
| Balanced vs RCA preamps @kckrs wrote: How important is it that your Pre-amp has both balanced and RCA capabilities? Nowadays it’s only important to me that any component in my setup, or one that enters it has true balanced in- and outputs, and preferably only that. I... | |
| Do you agree with John Atkinson (and me)? You wonder why people would try and make it a quantifiable matter with music as well; my list of albums is longer than yours, not to mention more expensive than the totality of hardware gear comprising my setup. Thus, apparently, I’m the more musi... | |
| Wiring the SuperTweeter @milimetr wrote: Mundorf Mconnect ACW210-BK/BU Angelique solid core wire, 2 x 1mm in PTFE can also be interesting. Indeed! | |
| Wiring the SuperTweeter @milimetr -- A 1.00mm (no more, no less) solid core wire has something particularly well going for it at HF-frequencies, I’ve found. Just recently implemented a JBL 2405 Alnico tweeter over my existing main speakers. It’s high-passed at ~11,5kHz... | |
| MoFi Sourcepoint 888 Speakers @roxy54 -- Interesting speakers, the MoFi’s, though I’ve yet to audition any of their models. A local dealer recently became a distributor of the brand, so I’ll go have a listen to them within shortly to get a bearing on their sound - just out of... | |

| WHY DO SOME AUDIOPHILES TRY TO TELL OTHERS WHAT THEY CAN OR CAN’T HEAR IN A SYSTEM? @dayglow wrote: Thx for the reply. Synergy has always been the key with building a fine sounding HEA system. The focus should be on synergistic systems at all performance levels not just mocking expensive components that are mismatched. Tru... | |
| A new horn is brewing in the cauldron? The MF/HF horn in the background does indeed look like the B&C ME464 horn, which is usually mounted with or intended for the B&C DCX464 coaxial compression driver. Being there’s a dedicated tweeter horn just below however he’s likely using... | |

If an Adcom amp with JBL’s propped up on milk crates playing poorly recorded Sabbath can shake the walls is the "Holy Grail" run with it.

| Class D is just Dandy! @celo wrote: I am very very impressed with this amp. It is stupid powerful but that’s not why I like it. It is super balanced. Detailed sound, big soundstage, the instruments sound like live almost, very good vocals. Great that you like its so... | |
| Which sounds better 2 way or 3 way speaker design @rwwear wrote: Don’t dismiss 4 ways. +1 There are different approaches to a 4-way (or any other -way) design, of course, but as I have outlined earlier I prefer what’s essentially an augmented, high efficiency 2-way system based on a large fo... | |
| Which subwoofer should I get? @james633 -- +1 It’s telling seeing main speakers with bigger displacement area in their woofer section than the subs that augment them. Indeed, physically subs are quite often smaller than the mains, and knowing Hofmann’s Iron Law we know what ... | |
