REL vs JL AUDIO
@pedroeb --People always choose only the most popular brand of subs which are not really the bestI'm wondering why they are not really the best, Is it due to one of these; better price, better advertising, better distribution, or simply a better p... 
Please critique my planned system, JTR Noesis 212RT + Deep Sea Sound Mariana 24”
@sheikyabouti -- ... Right now I need the one system to do both HT duties and music (bass heavy dubstep with plenty of 20-40hz content) but in a year or two I’ll be able to have a dedicated theatre room so this is my plan:Order a pair of JTR Noesi... 
Speaker Recommendation up to 70k
@arcticdeth -- Those “hifi”  ATC speakers are some of the very best you can buy.he prices are astronomical, but if you say you have 70K to dump, he’ll, that is what I would get. ...ATC speakers, not least their active versions, are actually very ... 
Speaker Recommendation up to 70k
@mofojo -- Add Bose to the list. They are suweeet. Bose - the finger of Satan dipped in holy (audiophile) water, of something like that. Their Blueetooth iterations may make for a good bathroom background music choice, while contemplating the s... 
Speaker Recommendation up to 70k
@emerald --I would go a bit differently here than the direction I assume you’d prefer; if "workman" or industrial looks doesn’t bother you too much, and you can rid (that is: relieve) yourself of any want to "experiment" ad nauseam with amps and e... 
Pro Audio Technology speakers
@txavguy --... Interesting, several systems that have been recommended to me seem to come with concerns about brightness/harsh treble. Aaand it's a common misconception not only on this forum but audiophilia in general - this notion that speakers... 
Pro Audio Technology speakers
@txavgut -- The system will be used 50/50 for movies and music. [...] the subs (LFC-15sm) don’t seem especially impressive, claiming response only down to 20Hz. But I realize specs aren’t everything. If used 50/50 for movies and music a 20Hz hard ...

@ozzy62 -- I think it’s cute you guys think this is a serious thread…….. Elements of it is.

Low-sensitivity speakers — What's special about them?
@lonemountain -- This efficiency issue is one "spec" out of many that a designer must balance. All these performance parameters are evidence of the enormous number of trade offs in creating a complete driver/box/electronics design. So designers m... 
REL vs JL AUDIO
@jeffvegas --I'd rid myself of brand-focus and gadgetry and go with the DIY-advice of poster @mijostyn above. Let physics have their say, and when you buy separate components (certainly electronics) reliability usually sees a clear boost. Cheaper ... 
Low-sensitivity speakers — What's special about them?
Thanks for linked article, @alexberger. In real-world scenarios with mostly passively configured, inefficient speakers - certainly approaching to some extent live acoustic (or amplified) levels - Thermal Distortion is an inescapable factor. @lonem... 
Low-sensitivity speakers — What's special about them?
@atmasphere -- Al was a really nice guy. I miss having him here. Indeed - a very knowledgeable guy, well-spoken and always with a balanced and to-the-point approach. .. A 'high sensitivity speaker' is really going to be more like 96dB at the low... 
Low-sensitivity speakers — What's special about them?
@gdnrbob Seeing Almarg's post at the front of this thread brings back fond memories. I hope heaven has a great sound system for him to listen to.Bob I wasn't aware of poster @almarg having passed. Sorry to learn of this.  
A friend told me JBL DD67000 is actually very bad speaker, is it true?
If not the DD67000's - which are really rather much more sonically capable and fleshed out than their smaller siblings, incl. the M2's to my ears - I'd go with actively driven Meyer Sound pro series speakers (Acheron/Studio) and add some big, high...
