| Do YOU have a flat frequency response in your room? Amplitude at frequency is one piece of the puzzle. The real question is where the dip or bump is. From 1.5k to 3k a bump will create a bright speaker and a dip will create a polite speaker. Having said that measurements can be misleading as mi... | |
| Why do so many sellers take offense to offers on their listings? There are times where low ballers will offer 30-50% but are prepared to pay much closer to ask price. I know this because when I ignore their offers they keep coming back with higher offers…but I still ignore them because IMO they are more likely ... | |
| THE IMPORTANCE OF TIME DOMAIN RESPONSE MUST READ We need to make it mandatory for speaker companies to publish the time response of all their speakers so that consumers can easily compare and decide exactly what they want. We? Do you have a turd in your pocket? ;-) | |
| Active Speakers Better? No, per Michael Borresen The synergy is built into the loudspeaker and the audiophile doesn’t have to search for some magical pairing of loudspeaker and amplifier. Active loudspeakers definitely have the potential for better sound compared to passive designs. Whose syn... | |
| Thoughts about the "Cheapaudioman" on YouTube He considers the Sony sscs5 speakers reference grade and uses them to evaluate products like Denafrips Ares 2....while using test tracks from Metallica and Korn...it's quite a show. ;-) | |
| Thoughts about the "Cheapaudioman" on YouTube but i like his channel. i’d drink a beer with him This I believe is his genius/gift. He has the rare ability to convince people that he is their good friend/drinking buddy. His new wrist watch channel will be popular for the same reason. Perso... | |
| Thoughts about the "Cheapaudioman" on YouTube IMO calling him a sellout is completely unfair. I mean he completely changed. What he used to make fun of he has become. Him refusing to pronounce Schiit out of fear of losing a few bucks is too cringey for me. If he would have started his c... | |
| Thoughts about the "Cheapaudioman" on YouTube His review of the sony ss-cs5 speakers was spot on. I bought those and very quickly returned. They were very bright and thin…brittle sounding. They sounded to me like a cheap speaker with two tweeters. I paid $88 but felt they were worth $50 as... | |
| Thoughts about the "Cheapaudioman" on YouTube Although it's kinda silly that he is not allowed to pronounce the name 'Schitt' as it should be. He is allowed to…but he is worried that the video will be de-monetized. He did the weird mispronunciation in front of Jason Stoddard on a live s... | |
| What are/were the best sounding cheap components you have ever had? Tekton Lore - $1080. Punches way way above its price. Pay extra for the grills if you don't like the looks. Van Alstine Vison SET 120 Power Amp. $1200. I haven't heard better at this price. Schiit Saga + Preamp. $400 If you like the sound of y... | |
| Transients hurting my ears on hifi solid state amps I remember learning that our ears are most sensitive in the frequency range where we are experiencing hearing loss. Apparently it's common for the high pitched voices of children to bother some grandparents. ;-) | |
| What speakers have you mistakenly let go and then later repurchased? Every speaker I bought did something I liked that after time wasn't enough to keep the illusion alive, that said the speaker still excels at what I initially liked about them and each following speaker pair I buy gets me closer to all the things ... | |
| What speakers have you mistakenly let go and then later repurchased? I have a pair of Spendor SP9/1's that I'm afraid to let go of for this reason - they don't do anything seriously wrong. I've owned them for over twenty years. That's a speaker marriage. 😁 | |
| Am I Better Off With Limited Low Frequency Speaker In A Small Room? Downside is that the speaker can sound bright but at the same time, not all that airy in the soundstage. And tonally, it sounds a bit gray. Nothing is so harmonically fleshed out that I believe it's real. It also. never feels like it really lets ... | |
| Am I Better Off With Limited Low Frequency Speaker In A Small Room? It has nothing to do with the size of the room, but the limited placement options due to size. Extended low is not inherently bad in a small room, but bad placement is bad in all rooms. A small room forces bad placement. Go subs. The more the mer... |
