| He spent his life building a $1 million stereo. The real cost was unfathomable. This article has many details left out of youtube videos I've seen. Major cautionary tale in my estimation, seems the cost of this obsession much greater than the benefit. Having a loving psychologically well adjusted and functional family far gre... | |
| can subwoofers make things worse? +1 @wolf_garcia Explains what I mentioned as sound stage expansion. Rel T series don't move air and shake room, roll off bass in lowest registers. As others have mentioned neighbors can be a very real concern, I was the one calling police on a... | |
| can subwoofers make things worse? I recently added two Rel T9x, Klipschorns, 13'W x30'Lx9'h room. didn't really add much bass. but expansion in sound staging far surpassed my expectations. I've spent much more on electronics in the past and never experienced this level of expansio... | |
| Little help with REL subwoofers, please? Rel S and Ref series are faster on specs, issue is whether one hears T as slow, if not than there is no problem. Same with Maggie's, I've heard them with a variety of medium to high end electronics, always enjoyed the sound qualities of these spea... | |
| Little help with REL subwoofers, please? @pennfootball71 I don't hear any sense of these being slow thus far. I suspect Rel subs very difficult to make generalizations about since main speakers and amps have relatively large influence on how subs perform. So far, with my Klipschorns, the... | |
| Little help with REL subwoofers, please? Update on my experience with the T9x, last night's listening session relatively large expansion of sound stage, and bass starting to loosen up and gaining in impact. These improvements due to burning in of every single component from 10/2 Romex ti... | |
| Little help with REL subwoofers, please? My take on subs is its far more about personal sound quality preferences, room, and main speakers than the subs themselves. The fact is I've enjoyed the db or low level input type subs with certain recordings and times of day I chose to listen... | |
| Tidal FLAC vs. Qobuz Why choose, I run both. | |
| Little help with REL subwoofers, please? @northman As I mentioned previously, I'm not seeking a sub that brings attention to itself, have had that in previous subs, my take is that type of sub is for home theater setups or bass heads. I want my subs to be invisible, simply an extension... | |
| Little help with REL subwoofers, please? I've tried a number of subs over the years, even with dsp could never get coherent sound with main speakers. With dsp the problem wasn't so much with boom, but rather timing with main speakers, always a step behind or slow, once heard could never ... | |
| What to do with a large collection I have same dilemma, deal with hassle of cataloging and pricing individual cd's and vinyl or selling in bulk. For the vinyl I've done a bit of cataloging and discovered a few highly valuable recordings, would hate to let those go for pennies on th... | |
| Must read/enjoy for 300B.... and all tube lovers Great read, thanks for the post. Now I fully understand the reliability issues with the earlier Elrogs, was always interested in purchasing, too many reported failures kept me away. Coincidentally, I was also running AR SP9 back in same time fram... | |
| Klipsch Lascala II bin separation One possible issue with this is speaker manufacturers voice their speakers in stock configuration, and that may be superior to diy mods some of us undertake. I've tried a multitude of footers over the years, they all have unique sound qualities. I... | |
| Klipsch Lascala II bin separation Makes sense,I'd expect isolating mids and highs from bass bin cabinet resonances would result in greater clarity. I modified my Klipschorns years ago, getting rid of top bin altogether, mid driver mounted to Volti tractrix horn, tweeter mounted t... | |
| Audio Research SP9 family Generally, I don't like to criticize components, but the MkIII I purchased many years ago was without a doubt the most disappointing audio component I've experienced in over more than thirty years as audiophile. Low resolution, transparency, just ... |
