Footers under new speakers
@trecool99  @buellrider97  I tried a  TON of different footers and materials underneath my loudspeakers. First under my Thiel 2.7s, but I tried even more under my Joseph Audio Perspective 2s.   I tried to soft footers , spikes, various pucks, ... 
Footers under new speakers
@hilde45  I’m sure you recognized a typo in there, but… that sentence should read: “a sense of density, punch and SOLIDITY to the sound.  
Footers under new speakers
    As I’ve indicated before… I tried and abandoned the Townsend Isolation Bars for my speakers.    The way I see it , we audiophiles are constantly looking for the next upgrade and more “ insight” into the recording.   And the other thing i... 
How close are you to being to your endgame? My system outline and I'm almost there.
    Yes, I’m at my end-game system. And I’m lucky because it essentially coincided with current downgrade in finances meaning I’m not really in this game anymore.  Like many audiophiles I owned lots of gear over the decades.  And since I like ... 
Make speakers disappear. Simple, cheap
@gdaddy1      Glad you got something out of it. in terms of the Home theatre experience, It’s been about 15 years And I swear, I pinch myself practically every time I use it. I cannot believe how amazing the experience is. As for the posi...

Make speakers disappear. Simple, cheap
OK, so what about the subject of this thread two channel stereo? I have my stereo speakers pulled well out from the screen wall behind them, into the optimal position for best sound immersion and three dimensional imaging. I’m not a fan of seein... 
Make speakers disappear. Simple, cheap
    @gdaddy1 You are speaking to an issue that has been near and dear to my heart for a long time . I’m all about ambiance and setting up the most effective presentation possible. First, I’m going to reference this  in terms of my home theatr... 
How good is the crossover in your loudspeakers?
@ronboco        I like them both in their own way.   The Thiels sound clear and detailed, but bigger richer and thicker with more focused, dense imaging.  Also a bit more authority in the sound and bass The choice of audio perspectives so...

  @kfuller3  As  it happens a few years back when I was doing a big speaker search I auditioned both the Focal Diablo Utopia speakers and the Raidho C 1.2 They were in the same store. I wrote about my impressions of the Raidho here:     http... 
Thiel Owners
  By the way, I just stumbled on this old video on YouTube:  Thiel’s Kathy Gornik talking about the virtues of free trade.  It’s a section from a larger interview with her. It sure seems to be relevant again in the current world situation: ht... 
Thiel Owners
@ig316b  Wow, those Thiel cs6 were quite a find!    Congratulations !   I had the  cs6 in my home for quite a while when they came out and they were incredible.  The best loudspeaker I’ve ever had in my room up to that point and still one of... 
Subjective vs. objective? Or subjective and objective?
Ugh.  I have a hard time watching Dannie. he’s fine with objective And measure measurements, Until they Can’t verify the claims he uses to sell cables, And then measurements aren’t good enough. Conveniently  
How good is the crossover in your loudspeakers?
  The crossover is in my speakers are good enough so that they sound amazing! I’m using Joseph audio perspective 2s and Thiel 2.7s. There’s always been a certain section of audiophiles who believe “ the less parts the better.” But that just ... 
What does the audio term 'air' mean?
When can talk about frequencies associated with what many people might call “air” but for me it comes down to a type of perception and not necessarily a particular frequency range.  Because I’ve heard some speakers that don’t go stratosphericall...
