| Is the 2.5 way speaker the ideal home speaker? Usually higher tweeter points are achieved with 3-way systems which use a "true" midrange. Best,EOr a small woofer like the Silverline Minuet Supreme. 3.5k crossover point giving way to a beautiful midrange. | |
| Paypal issue beware. I call they said because he used some sort of mandated government payment they do not require any evidence that it was shipped back. What type of payment is this?By chance was the buyer Ben Carson? | |
| Schiit not that Good? The best sounding rooms were either only lightly treated with ASC, or used other brands of room acoustic treatment entirely. I would put that up above cables as being the cause first. Best,EI don't know E. Maybe speakers might be the cause first? ... | |
| where are all the posts/reviews about Prana, Philharmonic and others? Dennis uses Parts Express cabinets for some of his speakers, and off-the-shelf drivers, but designs his own crossovers, which is what he’s really known for (he’s developed them for many of Salk’s speakers as well) and does offer custom cabinets fo... | |
| where are all the posts/reviews about Prana, Philharmonic and others? Those companies that you mention aren't really brands or manufactures. Half of them stuff drivers into Dayton boxes from Parts Express and most if not all of them buy off the shelf woofers and tweeters from Parts Express types of places. That does... | |

| Paper Based Speaker Cone Question There are $50 speakers that use Kevlar and 100k speakers that use paper and vice versa. The cost of the enclosure is much greater than the driver. | |
| Ever Bought an Audio Product that was Stupid Good for the Money? Caintuck Audio's Betsy open baffle paired with a Musical Paradise MP-301 MK3 SEP amp is pretty stupid good. Add in a Chromecast Audio & Schiit DAC for a killer sub 1k system. | |
| Inexpensive Tube Amps I recommend the McIntosh 275. In all seriousness though, I own the Musical Paradise MP-301 and love it. It is an absolute steal for the $$, especially if you upgrade the tubes. It is designed, supported, and shipped by an Asian guy who lives in Ca... | |
| Speakers "Disappearing" You want speakers to disappear? Narrow baffles and small drivers.Speakers with a precise image? Small drivers and single point source, coaxial or single driver. | |
| Two Type of sound and listener preference are there more? This has been a stunning display of transparent nonsense. It boils down to a sales pitch similar to "all the cool kids are smoking lucky strikes, you should too." We have right-brained vs. left-brained and musical vs. amusical. People have to d... | |
| Two Type of sound and listener preference are there more? Many brass instruments can have an aggressive sound, do trumpets played in an open space sound melodic vs a harpThat aggressive sound could be from a hifi with too much treble energy. However, it could also be due to age related hearing loss. Basi... | |
| Two Type of sound and listener preference are there more? Defining musical is like defining how to dance. We know when someone can dance just like we should know when something is musical. PRaT? | |
| Emotiva T1 Towers - Audiophile Quality or Just Home Theatre Towers? I would say that you would likely be happier with the Elac UF5 or JBL 570 | |
| A HiFi newbs Elac Adante review The Home Depot wire is actually pretty brilliant. For fun buy some and test it out. You may prefer it to Nordost, Kimber, etc. |
