| Step me up from Paradigm Studio 20 v4 bookshelf, seriously. Used Joseph Audio Pulsars (original version) would be a significant improvement across the board. New LSA-10 Statement is on sale here for $2500 and has a 30-day, in-home trial that would tell you everything you need to know — read the reviews. ... | |
| Am I out of my mind? #obsessed Stay at least a few feet away from your speakers and/or get some therapy. You may very well end up doing more harm than good succumbing to OCD, then you’ll really be unhappy. If you don’t listen to your speakers from less than three feet away th... | |

| Will 12 inch subwoofer be enough for an 18x20 room (with 10 ft cielings) Blast that room dictator! Who does he think he is to tell you what you can and cannot do?Yeah, he’s a bad dude just like his evil brother the cabinet dictator. Really hate that guy too.

| Pass Labs XA30.8 If you’re open to tubes I’d take a look at ARC amps. Over on eBay there’s another great Class-A option in the Valvet A4 at $3995, which seems like a good deal and would likely also deliver the qualities you’re looking for. Best of luck. | |
| External EQ/other solution? Pulling speakers further out into the room will likely help if that’s a possibility, and it’s free! Failing that, you could also try bass traps in the corners. GIK gets good reviews here and their products seem relatively reasonably priced — a p... | |
| Will 12 inch subwoofer be enough for an 18x20 room (with 10 ft cielings) I have an SVS SB2000 (sealed box) that has a 12” driver and goes down to 19Hz within 3dB. I have a similarly-sized room that opens to two medium-sized rooms, and with the right movie the floors literally shake so I doubt you’d have a problem with... | |
| What xlr cable to choose What type of sound characteristics are you looking for? | |

| Used Speaker in the 15k range Really depends on what sound characteristics you’re looking for. | |
| adding a DAC/Streamer or what +1 @fuzztone — keep DAC and streamer separate if for no other reason than it opens up tons more options on DACs you can choose from to best suit your particular tastes. I would, however, strongly consider a streamer/server that allows you to rip C... | |
| Which integrated amplifier . First and foremost I’m so sorry to hear of your situation — it truly makes my heart break. Over the years through personal experience I’ve become very disappointed with doctors’ general ability to make a correct diagnosis and/or identify the best ... | |
| Question regarding subwoofers Below 80 you can’t tell where the sub is, you can only tell there’s more bass. Where the bass is coming from, your main speakers provide those location cues. Also since you can’t localize there is no L and no R.”Totally agree, but one thing I’ve n... |
