Best €2500 sub purely for music?
@hilde45  Good point I did neglect to mention my room which helps negate the need for subs but I stand by my comment that towers can do well below 60hz.  Regards  Ron   
Best €2500 sub purely for music?
@endymion_joshi-godrez  I have to disagree that no tower speakers can do bass well under 60 hz. My Rockport Avior ii speakers give me all the bass I need in my room. No subs. Also just pull the trigger on the S510s. We have 4 in our HT set up and... 
Vibration isolation or absorption?
I think you can only hear a noticeable difference with isolation or not on a suspended floor. Concrete floors are much better   
If you had to narrow your choices to 4 - 5 speakers
+1 Rockport !   
What's your experience with snooty HiFi salesmen?
@esarhaddon  The store you said is moving is Soundings and it would be worth your time to drop in. They are also now a new distributor of Acora speakers.   
What's your experience with snooty HiFi salesmen?
Soundings in Denver is one of the good ones. No pressure and very knowledgeable. Ask for Jess.   
2023 AXPONA Show Report
I went last year. My first show of any kind. Had a great time! To all the first timers going this year make sure you listen to the mighty Borresen stand mount speakers. Couldn’t believe how good those small speakers sounded. For 100k I guess they ... 
Law Of Diminishing Returns?
@audioguy85  That was @magister who said that. I miss his posts a lot.   
Absorption, Diffusion or a combination of it all?
@erik_squires  Hi Erik. That is mostly correct. My room is right on the edge of small to medium so my acoustician designed it to sound bigger than it is. There is no drywall in the room. The walls behind the speakers have Rockwool in between the ... 
Absorption, Diffusion or a combination of it all?
@audphile1  I would suggest a consultation from an acoustician. Jeff at hdacoustics is very good. Duke LeJeune recommend him to me. He can analyze your room for you. He designed my room and it turned out amazing. Good luck !  
Absorption, Diffusion or a combination of it all?
@erik_squires  i beg to differ on an all absorptive room sounding terrible. I think it depends on the room. My room was designed by an acoustician and I built it. I would love to have you over for a listen. I think it will really surprise you. If... 
Thanks to Paul McGowan
Ya leave all posts up ! We are all supposed to be adults here and they are only words. Geez   
Is soundstage DEPTH a myth?
Hello all. Is the Chesky test cd on Qobuz ? I couldn’t find it. Thanks !   
Spending a month's salary
@tee_dee  I have the node 130 with the Teddy Pardo LPS and I also have the Boulder 866 with the optional DAC. It is a fantastic integrated and the DAC inside is the same as their high end stand alone DAC. It is very good. I think you would be ver... 
Good speakers for Parasound Halo JC1
Hi @mikempls  I toured PS Audio and listened to the FR 30s in their listening room. They played clean even at high volume but the bass wasn’t there and the soundstage wasn’t as big as I would like. Maybe it was the room but I think you can do bet...
