| Another request for Streamer Transport options Why do you want to connect the streamer to both the STR and AVM 90? This is a very good streamer at a good price that can also play your saved files, but it only has one USB output. https://www.audiogon.com/listings/lisbf56h-innuos-zen-mk3-musi... | |
| Optimized Center Channel I’d still try disabling the center speaker and trying a phantom center, because if that sounds clearer/better it might indicate a problem with the center speaker. Worth trying to rule it out I’d think. Best of luck again in finding a solution — ... | |
| Subwoofer Question Congrats! Glad to hear all is well. | |
| Optimized Center Channel First, that Focal sells a $4300 center speaker as a simple 2-way MTM design is an embarrassment — any center at that price should have a dedicated midrange driver. Second, you have the center positioned with the tweeter well below ear height that... | |
| Subwoofer Question Those frequencies can be directional due to intensity/level/loudness. If the frequecies for the sub are recorded stronger in one channel or the other it will pull the image toward the sub. @emuagogo No. Just…no. If the sub is properly locat... | |

| Subwoofer Question To be clear, the OP was asking about imaging being pulled to one side. Properly set up and set at 60Hz the imaging and image placement from your main speakers won’t be affected (other than imaging improvements subs can provide) but you may sense ... | |
| Subwoofer Question If properly placed and dialed in it shouldn’t. | |
| Electrical question Get a couple dedicated lines installed. It’ll solve your problem and likely improve your overall sound as well, and in the relative scheme of things it’s not all that expensive either. | |
| Speakers That Won't Sound Too Smooth Or Soft with Luxman L-590AXII The Luxman apparently has an inherent sound characteristic that doesn’t jibe with your personal tastes, and given the speakers you’ve tried it may not be overcome with different speakers. What is it specifically that the Luxman does better than t... | |
| Small compact 2-way speakers? Harbeth p3esr xd vs DALI Menuet SE ? I have to mention these Diapason Karis speakers from Italy that get stellar reviews and are just flat-out gorgeous.

| Anyone try different footers for DeVORE Super Nine speakers? Nice speakers. Many people have gotten significant improvements with Townshend Seismic isolation products. Not cheap, but I believe they offer a return option and very worth considering. Read the reviews that are virtually all raves, which is r... | |
| The death of ultra hiend audio Any business can fail if it’s sufficiently mismanaged, and unfortunately high-end audio companies are typically started by audio engineers or audiophiles with little business background who wouldn’t know a SWOT analysis if it bit them in the ass m... | |
