| Vinyl playback - lack of bass? I agree with the many comments on set-up and media. One thing I've observed in all media; CD, SACD, Digital and Vinyl, is that the source media is often a big factor in how prominent the bass is presented. Try playing some R&B vinyl and see if... | |

| is McIntosh known for good dynamics? Agree with @stereo5; find a demo that reveals what you are looking for. I have a McIntosh MA352 IA paired with Dynaudio Contour 20s playing mostly Jazz, Classic Rock, R&B, Pop and Classical. I find that the system adapts nicely to genre, but ... | |
| Shipping costs- WTF If you sell through a site like e**** and use their shipping estimate and pricing you'll see a substantial discount vs retail shipping outlets. For returns, I have asked the retail shipper to send me their shipping label and charge me the shippin... | |
| Special Forty? I first found Dynaudio while speaker shopping at a local high end shop. I was so impressed with the sound and really wanted the bigger towers, but I opted for bookshelf Special 40s since my listening room is small (13' x11'). Once I got them ho... | |
| Do you listen to your music with your eyes open or closed or a combination of both? An enhanced experience with glasses off, eyes closed and dark room. But then I wake up to the sound of the needle skipping against the center label. Late night into early morning is best. | |
| «40% Of Audiophiles Are Dying And No One Is Doing Anything About It!» I'm trying to make more of "me" to carry on the interest but my wife is too old to deliver | |
| LOOKING TO IMPROVE THE ACOUSTICS OF MY LISTENING ROOM Get the better sound book Or call the author and book an appointment. Rather than chase trial and error solutions he can give you a specific plan | |
| Pure Silver Wire I've been using DH Labs T-14 speaker cables for several years. I find the sound to be a "subjective improvement" over the 12g copper cables I used before. I'm very satisfied, so no plans to further experiment with speaker cables. DH Silver Sonic | |
| SPEAKERS THAT SOUND ALIVE & DYNAMIC AT LOW LISTENING LEVELS I'm there as well at 69 with minimal diminished hearing. I agree with @audphile1 on the EQ use. I wasn't using the EQ on my McIntosh MA352, but since my diagnosis I adjusted the EQ settings to match my hearing levels and I'm pleased with the outco... | |
| Does You Subwoofer Settings ?? For that very reason I moved on from subs in my music 2-channel set up and only use them in a separate AV 5.2 system for video and occasional music listening. The lower end of my music system Dynaudio Contour 20s is beyond adequate for music low ... | |
| Selecting Rear Surrounds for 5.1 system For my AV 5.2 (separate from my 2 channel system) I'm using a set of Bowers and Wilkens towers (683 S2s) center channel HTM6, surrounds (607s) and 2 subwoofers (ASW8s). I think having the matched set of towers and center channel gives the same to... | |
| Can you recommend Jazz for some one that doesn't like Jazz? What @stuartk said | |
| Have an integrated amp with only 1 subwoofer out... Why not take an RCA splitter cable with one connection to the IA and two out. One to sub; the other to the EQ? Not sure if this will diminish the out signal, but I once used this to power two subs from a single IA out port and it seemed to work j... | |
