| JBL 4367 = Sleep Denervation @james633 -- Congrats on your JBL 4367’s. I find them to be an impressive design from a relatively compact size factor, and agree that stands should be included. There’s something about the good old "15 inch woofer/mid and a horn" combo that has ... | |

| Too powerful of an amp!? @kld10 wrote: I always had over powered amps with lots of headroom. It’s always been beneficial I find. I am now at an extreme point where I already had a Mcintosh 300 watt per channel and I bought Avantgarde speakers at 107 db efficiency. That ... | |
| High end speakers at low volume @ricco275 wrote: my need is exactly to have presets to play music at a specific range of db, between 60 and 70db. The Anthem preamplifier seems to be a good solution with good feedbacks from users. I understand that’s what you want, and my ear... | |
| High end speakers at low volume @lonemountain -- Good post, Brad. Many think DSP automatically = digital room correction, but at its core it's simply a tool working in the digital domain with conversion(s) along the way, and DRC mayn't be part of that. I've calibrated my setu... | |
| High end speakers at low volume @mijostyn wrote: ... Having said this, you are not going to create a loudness compensation curve via room treatment. The goal is to reverse the Fletcher-Munson curve at the volume you prefer to listen at. The curve changes with volume. The hinge... | |
| High end speakers at low volume @ricco275 wrote: in your opinion what’s the best tone control option? Poster @mijostyn has proposed some options for correction in the digital domain preamps, and this would seem a sound solution in your case with the opportunities offered her... | |
| High end speakers at low volume @ghdprentice wrote: High efficiency does not equal sounds good at low volumes. Actually, quite often it does lead to an added level of sonic involvement here (of course, whether it sounds good at lower volumes is relative to the specific imple... | |
| What is "immersiveness" in audio experience ? Sound being immersive is an important, even vital trait - depending I guess on the aspect of it one may prioritize or define it as being. Indeed, immersive can be many things, like spanning a contrast range as that which envelopes the listener in ... | |
| How do you high pass your main speakers? Re: the OP and his sealed ATC SCM19 main speaker design with its huge magnet, large 3" and underhung voice coil SL-woofer, the distortion numbers here are already quite low up through the midrange, and my previous "leave it as it is"-answer (i.e.:... | |
| cheapest speaker made in the last 10 year that can beat any speaker made before 1970? @realworldaudio wrote: > Yes, it’s technology, but the development with speakers is not comparable to development in computer tech. With loudspeakers, Western Electric has already achieved very high sound quality in the 1930s, and that herita... | |
| What was the craziest location that you made an audio purchase from? Once drove to Poland from Denmark and back with a friend to buy a pair of speakers, only to realize when we arrived that they didn't live up to my expectations. Not an easy decision to make on the spot, but we still had a great trip on our ~950 mi... | |
| How do you high pass your main speakers? @tony1954 wrote: Actually my MiniDSP crossover is set to 80Hz for the subs so there would be a redundancy of frequencies from that 80Hz threshold and where the ATC's roll off around 54Hz. Perhaps it might be best to just tweak the crossover po... | |
| Top two most important sound qualities @bdp24 wrote: As for "hi-fi effects", it is image size and scale. Most loudspeakers sound comically "small" to me, the image of a grand piano, for example, being reduced to a miniature of it’s actual size. It’s like watching a movie on your iPho... | |
| Your experience of moving to two subs @gladmo wrote: Hi all, I have a 2.1 system with the sub sounding best in the center between the loudspeakers. My speakers have substantial, deep, and detailed bass for their size and with the SS amp I’ve chosen. Thus, the sub’s optimal crossover... |
