| Yes, cables do make a difference -- regardless of price... My experience with cables might be a bit different from others. I bought Blue Jeans (Canare S11) speaker cables years ago. I just wanted some cables that were well made and at the time they were the only company to use a sonic welder on their con... | |
| Time/Process of Hooking up New Equipment I came home after 65 days of 12 hours shifts. The next morning I picked up my new subwoofers that had been waiting for me for a month. I have Devialet amplifiers, which can be programmed for low and high pass filters so they're ideal for subwoofer... | |
| REL vs JL AUDIO The first subwoofer I had in my van was a top of the line JL. It was one of the first ones with a dual voice coil. It was a beast. I could run it as hard as I wanted and it took it all.When that one eventually died I replaced it with a Dynaudio dr... | |
| What Integrated Amp do You use I have a Devialet Original d' Atelier, which is upgraded to 1000Pro. It's a very clean window into the recording. Those who say Devialet sounds clinical need to learn to set their speakers up properly. They're clean, not clinical. SAM adds more de... | |
| Looking for more detail in a speaker No time to read the whole thread so I might be saying something someone elastic's already has; That 'detail' in the B&W speaker is going to hurt your ears after a while. Get the Dynaudios. You won't regret it. | |
| Warm romantic & detailed I'm going to throw in a bit of a curveball here.I use a Devialet Expert Pro with CI board. They've always had bass and treble adjustment but lately they have introduced what they call "Sweet Room". It's meant to be for room correction but it's bas... | |
| Disco...yep, I'm going there Sorry, too busy grooving to some 12" remixes to answer that question | |
| Bi-wireing speakers According to these articles they’re going the opposite way. And so do others. https://hifipig.com/devialet-add-axd-tech-to-their-expert-pro-line-of-amplifiers/http://designwsound.com/dwsblog/2018/10/devialet-axd/ | |
| KEF blades 2 or Dynaudio C4? Hi @mountainsong , I've tried to read most of the replies here but it got too frustrating having to sift through the egocentric replies to find a few genuinely helpful ones... Let me try to be helpful.I own both Dynaudio C1 mark 2 and Kef LS50 Wir... | |
| Is there actually a difference? I have recently installed my old amp because my 'new' amp is going for an upgrade. Both are the same SS brand, one just higher up in the series. Even in our acoustically very bad living room I was surprised to hear the difference when playing at ... | |
| Listening Height Adjustment -- Is This Why Two People Don't Hear the Same? @folkfreak ,Let me start by apologising for 'concluding' you're a 'neophyte'. (I had to look that one up...English isn't my first language) just by looking at some pictures. Out of respect I've decided to read your whole system thread and got a lo... | |
| Listening Height Adjustment -- Is This Why Two People Don't Hear the Same? BTW, to adjust and measure tilt, use something (anything solid will do) under the level on the low side and 'level' the speaker out. Do the same with the same thing in the same spot on the other speaker and you'll have the speakers perfectly tilte... | |
| Listening Height Adjustment -- Is This Why Two People Don't Hear the Same? Hi Folkfreak,It saddens me a bit to see how much money and effort you have plunged into your system only to find out afterwards that one of the most important things for great sound quality (speaker placement) wasn't optimal in the first place. As... |
