If you are going to rely on the room the way it is, get a speaker with a wave guide for the dispersion is controlled. The results will be superior. The Aida is recommended to be at least 6 feet from the front and side walls to fully use their "dep... 
Opinion: Modern country is the worst musical genre of all time
@coltrane1 we fell off the country music train pages ago. I don’t think anyone questions that Jazz was created by black musicians do they? I wouldn’t feel bad about it not being heralded. That is probably true of most instrumental only music today... 
Peachtree GaN 1 Beta
@ricevs have you delivered the modified unit back to the customer? You keep describing the GAN1 as Class D analog switching. I do not think that is correct. Class D and PWM are not the same.

Here we have a "blind" comparison between an M2 system and the Revel Salon2. Guess which one wins, handily: The conclusion:  http://www.avsforum.com/forum/89-speakers/2907816-speaker-shootout-two-most-accurate-well-reviewed-speakers-ever-made-12....

That is a marketing video from an online retailer. No complete in their coverage nor free from bias. They have a broad line, but these appear to be some of the only active speakers that they carry.  
Opinion: Modern country is the worst musical genre of all time
These attacks on specific genres of music just come across as arrogant cries for attention. Why else would you go out of your way on a site, purporting to be about something related to the love of music, and tell everyone else what you hate in hop...

As a musician, I find this statement, "How many here can argue the complexities of “jazz.” Frankly, unless you’re a musician educated in jazz, who can truly play, it’s beyond your comprehension. So in essence, there’s no argument to be had." fun...

@donavabdear , It would probably help if you provided some more information: What brands does the dealer you must buy from carry. No point us suggesting stuff if not on their franchised list. Are you planning to do anything with your room in ...

The most important aspect of an active speaker @kota1 is good acoustical design. You can do some cool things with DSP but there is only so much that can be fixed. The Bryson does not illustrate the aspects of good acoustic design for a modern spea...

Do they call it the Model T because the acoustic design is from the last century? Double stacked tweeters and mids but bizarrely stacked with large spread between the lower mid and upper tweeter. Even on a 3 way in 2023 really no excuse for not us...

My apologies @o_holter, that you have been pulled into this childish exchange.

@o_holter , You will notice that unless I am personally attacked, my comments apply to content. The 4329P (which you cannot buy yet), is based on the 708P, which I am very familiar with. There may be tweaks in the drivers, but the articles imply ...

o_holter 782 posts 02-25-2023 at 09:40am  Earlier in this thread, thespeakerdude argued that my Atma-sphere MA1 amps wont be a good match for many active speakers (testing the passive speaker in the pair). He showed 1990s statist... 
Speaker Break-in
The testing the vendor would do prior to shipping which likely includes a burn in test, i.e. play loud for a few hours to ensure no failures will do almost all break in. At moderate volume, there will be measurable changes for a few hours more but...

Notice in the press release, that the press release is from the Harman Luxury Audio group (4329P). It will be interested to see if any measurements come out. It is based on the 708P which is a good studio monitor if you don't push it too hard. Pus...
