| Large speakers plus EQ, what have you done? I do use subs, for the reason being that what and how they do it isn't found in integrated form in a pair of floor-standing main speakers (the subs take up 20 cu. ft. per cab, as a FIY). The main speakers are large (6 ft. 2" in height) as well, an... | |
| Do speakers need to be re-broken in? Having sat dormant for 5 years, they do need re-break in, if only for a short while - meaning, likely just a few hours, if that much. | |
| Class D is just Dandy! @celo wrote: Thanks @phusis I wonder what the model is. I am always interested in under the radar products. I am guessing the HSE line and they are SUPER expensive. WOW! I am referring to the T-series, that share the Class A/B topology and ... | |

| ???What's The LEAST Expensive "End Game"Amplifier You've Ever Heard??? Being that no amplifier is load impervious its performance will always be contingent on which speakers it's mated with (and vice versa), which is mostly about the obstacle that is the passive crossover situated between the amp and drivers and whic... | |
| Subwoofer Amps! The amp topology used in subwoofers...does it matter? Thanks for bringing up this subject. Not saying amp topology doesn’t matter with subs, but from my chair it’s more a matter of actually using a quality amp through and through than topology... | |
| Looking for my End Game Speaker @calgarian5355 -- For whatever it’s worth, i.e.: depending on your particular taste and preferences, I’d consider looking for a used pair of TAD CR-1’s. They’re hellishly expensive, yes, even used, but of the stand-mounted varieties I’ve heard in... | |
| ATC active vs. passive @erik_squires wrote: If I were at ATC, and they asked me to "activate" an existing passive speaker it would be just incredibly tempting to enhance it’s performance when transitioning. Exactly, because that’s what active config. offers. Which i... | |

| ATC active vs. passive Perhaps poster @lonemountain can chime in. He has extensive knowledge of and experience with ATC speakers. | |
