| Why did you purchase the equipment you have and what do you like most about it? Fifty years of trial and error. Countless iterations of some form of a system. Perfectly happy with current setup. That's all that counts. | |
| Fine tuning the system. Where do you start and how do you proceed ? 1. The room 2. The setup 3. The gear However, I have found a significant difference in SQ among recordings. So much so that I grade each one D, C, B, A, A+ based solely on sound quality. Almost makes a case for the album making the biggest im... | |
| I’m considering upgrading my speakers internal wiring I agree with @stereo5 @mapman @erik_squires OP, you asked for some thoughts. I wouldn't do it. | |
| Guidance My room is small too. 14x15, 8' ceiling. First thing was acoustic treatments. Next was I figured out the best spots for the speakers and the listening seat. Then I added a pair of active subs to join my B&W 803 D3 speakers. That was revel... | |

| What's in your CDP tonight? the minority report The Cult | |
| I should start with speakers. This I know. I’d like to establish a new system. @hilde45 Bravo! Fantastic summation. Orderly progression. Now THAT'S how to set up a dedicated room! | |
| I should start with speakers. This I know. I’d like to establish a new system. Acoustic treatment. The room will dictate at least 50% of what your system will sound like. | |
| MoFi Sourcepoint 888 Speakers Nice! Great surprise. Enjoy! | |
| How can they not effect the sound I have three systems, and one of them uses small stand-mounts. One of the tweeters has a small dent. I can't detect any difference in sound quality or volume level compared to the other speaker. I have no explanation, but posted this to confirm wh... |
