Sealed, Ported, or Passive Radiators?
No, the new 2.7 use passive radiators very nicely.Andrew, have you tried stacking subs? Sometimes this "blends" four subs into a room well. Also, some stack subs with a footer under them to get them away from the floor some (two subs have ample ex... 
WOW, they are important, but in what order?
Still, I "read" the comments, but no compute in my system. Not so interconnects and speaker cables. Big changes there. And yes, I just dropped a big coin on NORDOST tyr2 XLR's pre to power amp (everything sees the benefit). Tonearm cords to head a... 
How big is your matrix - how we bias or enjoyment.
Frogman,What my comments mean, is that when people use their "background" to justify your rightness is insecurity in itself. WHY pray tell is it necessary to paint your personal picture if you are confident in your perception(s)? It isn't. The onl... 
WOW, they are important, but in what order?
JafantWell, I "hear" that response but it does not compute in my system. Interconnect and speaker cable sure do, though, as I hear those changes. Not so power cords.Here is my take on why. The manufacturer of components KNOWS what criminal intent ... 
How big is your matrix - how we bias or enjoyment.
...I spend several hours each day around the sound of acoustic instruments. I KNOW what they are supposed to sound like; I KNOW which cable, in my system, gets me closest to that sound. That knowledge is not simply preference or "like"; it is know... 
Speaker Spikes - do the shake test
Cabinet resonances are logarithmic with volume. To say they make a difference down low is pointing out the diminishing effect of the cabinet. No one is challenging your superb hearing, but most will hear the difference only when their is enough en...

Timrhu, What do you want? Your purpose?Marqmike,So true. I get sick of the buying phase pretty fast and just want to listen to music again...for about 30 more years. I'm trying to get there...again. Also, VERY good point about enjoy what you have....

Most adults can monitor their involvement in voluntary communications. Those that can't, well...sorry to hear ten minutes is the length of your attention span.I see people stuck in this all the time. It greatly limits the ability to improve your s... 
Sealed, Ported, or Passive Radiators?
At 120dB you may not get to support your artist too long, or hear them anyway!Multiple drivers are simply super hard to integrate as every driver is a slave to what it sounds like and is made from, and the overlap to the drivers above and below is... 
Speaker Spikes - do the shake test
...Then explain why the spikes make a difference at any volume level...Don't need to. It's the same answer as when they are louder. Different people will hear the degradation of sound depending on their ears pleasure center based on driver movemen... 
inexpensive warm sounding speaker cable
Belden 1313A is 10 AWG OFC design that is exactly what you elude to wanting. It should be very affordable. Grab some crimp then solder spades and your set.This cable has a very full sound and is not bright by nature, but still is decently coherent... 
WOW, they are important, but in what order?
Polyglot, well I've tried to hear power cords and conditioning but nope, can't say I hear that at all. Interconnects and speaker cords, yes, thoise are suprisingly easy to hear. XLR verses RCA is also apparent in the sound stage in my system,with ... 
Speaker Spikes - do the shake test
...If Dynaudio only supplies one type of spike for their speakers they have apparently voiced their speaker that way...No way that's true as big a difference as it makes in the sound based on the coupling to the floor. That, and you won't like wha... 
Best way to hook up a subwoofer
I'll save the smart comments about speakers with better bass. I have C4's that are supposedly "superb" at bass. No, they are good at bass but need two DD10+ subs to be flat to 20Hz. Yes, it makes a difference. I have NEVER heard a speaker system s... 
spikes under a subwoofer ?
No one right answer. You sue the method that reduces the cabinet movement, simply put. THAT depends on the floor. For instance, my C4's with spikes firmly into the concrete floor simply blow away the speakers sitting on the carpet. ANY movement ki...
