| 4 amplifiers to drive 1 pair of speakers? Does your experience come from working in live concert, pro audio sound staging? If not then I’m not clear what your home audio objectives are. From a quick power ratio calculation, what you’re doing will quickly lead to equipment failure—meaning ... | |
| Japanese Audio While social and architectural comments are somewhat true, it’s also because SET (low level) amplifiers paired with efficient speakers is an inward meditative listening experience where all artistic musical nuances get absorbed. This is important ... | |

| Maggie LRS so ridiculously good I spoke to MagnaRiser as Im planning on tweaking my LRS. Looking forward to testing. Thanks to those who referred me to them. | |
| Equalization for vinyl nirvana @joshindc Since we have very similar components from source to output I think I can offer some pointers. As many have mentioned the room’s architecture, furnishings and treatment are key, but that’s the unknown here. Next, the method at which you’... |
