| JTR RS1s (18” sealed subs) vs JL Audio E112s, (JBL 4367) @james633 wrote: Overall, the JTRs are more detailed and textured than the JLs. They also blend better with the JBL 4367s much better than my JL E112s (also actively crossed over at 60hz). The JLs always had a bit of an over damped sound to me. ... | |

| Shocked. Need Opinions. How muck power do I need? In the context of the OP’s speakers and listening room it may not be obvious at first how much power/which amp is really needed, until the perceived experience sets in through a variety of different amps. Crank it as loud as you could possibly wan... | |
| When Was The Audio Golden Age? The Golden Age of Audio could be today - that is, if we combined in a sense past and present; what was lacking then we have now, and what we lack now they had then. The good news is that, if we really wanted to, we could attain both in our present... | |
| A speaker stand with room for an amp? @erik_squires wrote: I’m not running a broad based research project here. Some would simply refer to it as going down the rabbit hole, actively in this context and within the confinements of time, energy, capabilities and budget. Budget is typ... | |
| A speaker stand with room for an amp? @erik_squires wrote: Since this project is to convert my two way speakers from using passive crossovers to active ... Good initiative. It’ll give you a bearing for sure what’s in store sonically with active config. of your mains compared to th... | |
| Equalizer in a Hi Fi system @tlcocks wrote: Again, I was impressed by BACCH and am open to hearing the manner of DSP you implement. Again, don’t conflate tone adjustment (broad) with room correction (narrow). I’m not conflating anything here. Broad- and narrowband equali... | |

| When Was The Audio Golden Age? @erik_squires wrote: When were Snell A/IIIs made?? I believe they entered the market in ’84 and were replaced by the A/IIIi’s a few years later, if memory serves me correct. | |
| Equalizer in a Hi Fi system @tlcocks wrote: Wrong. A great analog studio EQ can and does add its own special color sauce if you will which can be all improvements, no drawbacks. "Special color sauce" pretty much tells it like it is, and whether such a flavor is a benefit... | |
| Equalizer in a Hi Fi system @tlcocks wrote: Oh I’m not closed minded to hearing it all. I’ve said that many times I want @mijostyn or you or someone to put me in touch with a good demo. Did a demo ever materialize at poster @mijostyn? Always exploring. The journey neve... | |
| Equalizer in a Hi Fi system @tlcocks wrote: I won’t go into how much better (again) studio mastering analog ideally with a hardwire bypass sounds compared to DSP. Read the whole thread. This war was fought already. It’s actually a great thread. Go back and read if if you’r... | |
| Equalizer in a Hi Fi system "Equalizing" is typically thought of as more or less elaborative tone controls as an extra measure on top of preconfigured passive speakers, and being able to attenuate a usually limited range of frequency bands. The rub mostly centers on the "ext... | |
| Passive subwoofer amps help! @mijostyn wrote: Funny you should mention the K2. They were the last Crown amps I will ever own. Their control over big sub drivers with high BL products was terrible. I think it was the back EMF that destroyed one of mine, the other went in the... | |
| Passive subwoofer amps help! @mijostyn wrote: I do not like Crown amps. I have had them twice and both times they were unsatisfactory. I’ve previously used Crown’s Macro Tech class A/B series for subs duties for a short while, and found them to be very good amps (not only... |
