Need Guidance for Next/Last Pair of Speakers
A lot of this depends on your room and where you can or cannot position the speakers.  listened to Volti Razz and they were nice but landed on Forte IV’s and they are amazing.  I have a few other systems and the Fortes just do it all so well.   
any current integrated amps in market have great dacs?
The Mola Mola Kula w the Tambaqui is so resolving and in anotjer league than any internal Dacs   I have a McIntosh MA8900 nice p bad DAc   I have an NAD M33 and it’s a really nice all in one package. But the Mola another league. I returned a H... 
upgrade path from my current speakers? (Dynaudio Special Forty)
I have a pair of the HS’s after auditioning the SP40’s in my home. My Pass Lab INT 25 sounded great w the 40’s but not as good as the HS’s. I brought in a PL X250.8 amp and now the HS’s jumped to a new level with more of the Dynaudio sound. I noti... 
Wall treatments “Asymmetrical”?
@newbee just received copies of some of the suggested Stereophile cds and awaiting a Radio Shack Analog SLM, but I need to understand how the sound meter measures decibels and how that relates to setting up bass response??  The only videos that I’... 
Wall treatments “Asymmetrical”?
@newbee I found both an analog a digital slm on eBay. Is there a guide that can help me understand how to use this tool in dialing in my systems?

I’ll start searching and watching Yt videos on how to use a meter like that. Sounds like a fun project.  thank you Newbee

Any recommendations on a Meter or test record? Thank you  
Wall treatments “Asymmetrical”?
Great feedback from everyone and I appreciate it. I ordered the Floyd E Toole Book Sound Reproduction and will start it when it arrives.  I watched the noted YT video and there is so much info I will have to rewatch a few times to fully understan... 
Wall treatments “Asymmetrical”?
Thank you for the quick reply and things to consider.    Assuming you mean more than tape measure measurements, how would I best go about measuring my room? my system sounds really good, not harsh I have a record storage bookshelf about 18” behi... 
Should I Sell My ARC REF 6 and Get A Pass Labs XP-32
I agree w Audphile1 on how the XP22 presents a realistic soundstage and incredible dynamics. I have mine paired w your same amp X250.8 and Sabrina X ‘s and the bass speed and volume control is sublime.  I can only imagine how good the XP32 would s... 
Streamer Selection - Thoughts Requested Please!
I have an Innuos Zen Mk3, a Lumin U2 Mini and a Bluesound node and if I had to choose one it would be the Lumin. They all have their pluses. The Lumins SQ is very much to my liking leaning away from analytical toward warm. The Lumin app is fine bu... 
KEF LS50 Wireless II vs. Harbeth P3esr
I have a couple of passive systems and also have the LS50w2’s being fed by a node, primarily to connect to other zones, it sounds better than the Kefs alone. But the single biggest improvement was adding a KEF KC62 wirelessly connected and it took... 
DAC UPGRADE QUESTION
I have the Lumin U2 mini and used the Qutest DAc. It was an amazing combo for the money. I moved the Qutest to a different system and got a Holo May KTE DAc and it really elevated the sound. if you can get $1500 for you Qutest plus $3000 your in t... 
Pls help me decide Pass Labs X250.8 or Luxman M900u
I think you need to find great retailers that have no risk home trials. I have the 250.8 w Wilson Sabrina speakers and Reno HiFi made it possible to try various Pass products.    The best I’ve heard BW 803’s sound was w a McIntosh MC462. Very ful...
