| Top Notch Desktop System Even better is isoacoustic stands. I would be surprised if you needed DSP for near field. You should be getting a lot of direct sound being so close. | |
| Emerald Physics Loudspeakers Though I think the newest versions of Emerald Physics speakers are less dependent on DSP. Yes I believe they call them Spatial Audio. | |
| What brands tend to have the worst resale value? Martin Logan, Vienna Acoustics, Anthony Gallo, Linn, Definitive Technology...these brands tend to sit on Craigslist forever. | |
| Just received shipment of my Magnepan LRS’s The frequency response is 50hz, but not sure if that is down 3db or down 6db. If anyone gets a chance to play a 40hz test tone I’m curious if there is much output. Since there is no port I’m guessing they don’t roll off real fast. | |
| Top Notch Desktop System The KEF speakers are tonally on the cool side, which some love and others don’t. | |

| Tone, Tone, Tone ! The Rega RS1 speakers on my desk give me tone, clarity, and speed so I totally understand your relationship with your Spendors. I have tried to replace them so many times with other hyped speakers, but each time I end up not keeping the replacemen... | |

| Magnepan for Background Listening Cool. It sounds like the biggest limiting factor is going to be treble since these guys aren’t very tall. Do the stands allow you to tilt them back or has anyone tried the book trick to fire them higher? | |
| Magnepan for Background Listening True. Part of the appeal is that they can be shoved against the wall when not being played. | |
| Subwoofer Class A/B vs D Power Amplifier The REL T5 is great for a small room. They are so good and blend so well that you don’t need to use 4 of them. One is fine, two is better, but it depends on your music. The JL will likely overwhelm a small room. I like to keep amp classes both Cla... | |
| Opinions and recommendations on active loudspeakers True. I don’t know anyone who prefers the LS50 passive over active. Why don’t studio monitors come with optional magnetic grills so they can be acceptable in a home? An active Magnepan would be incredible. | |
| Schiit Freya plus. Is this an upgrade? If you don't need the remote their headphone amps (solid state and tube) can be used as preamps. | |
| Terrible Booms Have you tried stuffing socks in the ports? | |
