| Anyone Successfully Go from Floor Standers to Bookshelf Monitors w/ Subs? I have and never look back. When done right with 3 to 4 subs, you will ask yourself why you didn’t think of it sooner. The location requirements for bass drivers and everything else are very different. It makes sense to separate these two into su... | |
| The Absolute Sound vs Pleasing Sound @audio2designWe are all in agreement that music is for enjoyment and I would never pretend to force my preferences on anyone, I was merely expressing what they are. I want to think that if I play a Diana Krall song in my system and it sounds like... | |
| The Absolute Sound vs Pleasing Sound @glupsonThis is absolutely correct. More and more artists are getting involved in that process to ensure that their message is getting out as envisioned. Thanks for pointing that out. | |
| The Absolute Sound vs Pleasing Sound With all due respect to some of our venerable members whose advices and comments I usually enjoy, music is an art but music reproduction is all science and engineering. Hi-Fi is about high fidelity. That doesn't mean we are not supposed to adjus... | |
| Dedicated power Do a search on line for this article by Vince Galbo: How to Wire Your House for Good Power -MLB Technology. It has all the answers and explanations you are looking for. It’s very good. | |
| Audio Lessons Learned - post your best advice for the newer members! John McDonald of Audience once told me that “the power IS the music”. Took me a while to understand what he was talking about.

| Used Speaker in the 15k range @jjss49 Good one. Very perspective. | |
| Dynamic range - effect on different speaker cables - even very high quality ones Guys, can we lower the temperature a little bit? Hurling insults at people doesn’t advance the conversation one bit. | |

| What to upgrade next. @dadorkWelcome to the club. My general advice to you is to do a lot of research before you buy. When you finally do, buy second hand. Some of us are further up the chain than you are, but the feeling to upgrade is universal in this hobby. So take ... | |
| Question For Those That Watch Movies/TV Through Your Two Channel System I hope the OP can read between the lines. The answers given here are correct for the most part although they might sound contradictory at times. Everyone is speaking from their own particular prospective, but not necessarily from his. So let me t... | |
| Subwoofers masking other frequencies. @audiomaze Yes, Audyssey will help you, but it is still a starting point. I don’t think it does much in the time domain. You will need to raise the level a couple of dBs from what Audyssey recommends for it to sound realistic. Good luck. | |
| Let's be a little meta: What topics are most hotly debated? I am not surprised a bit that bass is often discussed. According to dr Floyd Toole, getting the bass right is 30% of your system success. With the works of dr Earl Geddes, this 30% became totally attainable by the common audiophiles. With the effo... |
