Describe the sound of point source loudspeakers?
   
Have you moved away from full range to standmount speakers + subs?
@audition__audio --Will get back with a reply tomorrow.  
Have you moved away from full range to standmount speakers + subs?
@audition__audio -- Speakers are not limited by cabinet size! If you give the proper amount of enclosure for a driver, an increase in cabinet size is always a negative. Unless of course you want to listen to the baffle and cabinet specific distor... 
Do you use a Subwoofer when listening to stereo?
(by poster @mijostyn)... It has to sound like I am listening to one speaker. As I evaluate lower down I go from listening to feeling. Do I feel that kick drum the way I do at the club. Are those low synthesizer notes shaking me the way they shoul... 
Have you moved away from full range to standmount speakers + subs?
@jjss49 --Good insights. It seems to me though you're leaving out one scenario, namely that pairing the larger full-range speaker (in your case the Spendor SP100 R2's) with a pair of subs. Have you tried out that combination with the REL's of your... 
New Klipsch Jubilee, with active crossover.
As a design the Jubilee’s are much more interesting to me compared to the DD67000 Everest’s. Basic physics, really; the Jub’s are (more appropriately) taller, their midrange/HF horn is somewhat bigger to actually support directivity control lower ...

@douglas_schroeder --... Better big tower speakers make nearly all bookshelf/monitor speakers sound wanting, especially if they do not have a subwoofer(s) associated. One of the most telling characteristics of larger speakers is their ability to ... 
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 ... 
REL vs JL AUDIO
@ozzy62 -- I think it’s cute you guys think this is a serious thread…….. Elements of it is.
