| ??? What Is The MOST Expensive System You Ever Heard ??? What Was Your Opinion ??? Estelon speakers (probably their top model at the time) and very large Vitus mono amps - auditioned at an exhibition. Can’t remember the source, other than it was digital. Price: north of $1M.

| ATC SCM40A speakers @lonemountain -- Good post and insights on ATC speakers and their high quality drivers. However: For example, many performance attributes depend on other attributes and you cannot have all of them- you must choose. For example, there is a cle... | |
| How does 10+ year old technology compare to modern: Musical Fidelity M1 DAC Within a given DAC budget (say, ~$5k) I'd go with a used ref. model - even if it's quite a few years old - rather than a new "mid-level" ditto. From my chair the DAC chip evolution, with a few exceptions, has if not stagnated then moved very slowl... | |

I’ll be doing that, not in the bass but with the inclusion of a dedicated tweeter (JBL 2405 Alnico) over my main speakers within shortly. A simple 1. order slope cro... | |
| My high pass filter experiment and a couple of questions Most who’d implement a high-pass filter over the main speakers would do so over an existing, passively configured speaker setup (i.e.: with a build-in crossover "seen" by the amp on its output side), meaning an extra layer of signal processing/fil... | |
| Speakers for low-level listening @fsonicsmith wrote: This has been covered many times before. Using what equates to little more than a loudness button is antiquated thinking. Ultra-sensitive loudspeakers, often horn-loaded, are more dynamic. Dynamic range at all volume levels,... | |
| 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. | |
