| Atmos speaker recommendations for a Magneplanar surround set up? So, when you are done you will have a 12.1 system. I have a 2.4 system, so my opinion is worth nothing. | |
| Tweaking Your Speaker Placement @ghdprentice "the sound can literally snap into focus." Funny you should mention this. Yesterday I pulled everything apart to put subwoofer and rear speaker cables under my carpet and when I moved my speakers back in place, I put them 6" close... | |
| Tweaking Your Speaker Placement @rubicon15 Watching Bob was part of the reason this discussion started. I watched this same video and was wondering how I would implement what he was asking us to do. @thecarpathian Yes, I to use the stick with numbers, but as Maria Muldaur o... | |
| Thoughts on Speakers for a Small Audio/Video Room Definitely hard to get a sense of space when everything is squishy. Perhaps try setting only the picture width when you upload it or just make it smaller. Has the look of software trying to cram the picture into the space. | |
| Favorite scream in rock? Roger Daltrey in "Won't Get Fooled Again" Paul McCartney "Monkberry Moon Delight" Roger Waters (Pink Floyd) "Careful With That Axe Eugene" | |
| Lost in transmission how signal loss robs your sound. So, if you don't do all the individual things we do to improve the sound of our systems, the sound won't be as good. | |
| Package Has Disappeared in USPS System @livinon2wheels Why so much hate for UPS? I had one shipment get to me without some sort of problem about 20 years ago. Every one since then has been a fricking disaster. | |
| Have you ever bought something you've never heard of? +1 @ghdprentice Knowledge is king (and it's free). | |
| What were your favorite gear additions in 2024? My favourite gear additions were. . . . 1. Aurender N100 2. Denafrips Iris 3. Denafrips Pontus II That being said, since I got the new gear, my Musical Fidelity integrated has been in the shop for most of the time so I haven't spent hardly an... | |
| 2025 Audio System Wish List Time! Since I retired, I usually don't "plan" to do much of anything. That being said, when it comes to my audio system, two things that recently became top of mind are fixing my room acoustics and buying new speakers. I am pretty handy, so the room ... | |
| And a Ho! Ho! Ho! To All! Happy Festivus Everybody!! We are on line, so we will need to forego the "feats of strength" this year. My Festivus pole is up. (Insert crude remark here). Regarding the "airing of grievances", well...... That's up to you and yours. Cheers e... | |
| Why isn’t more detail always better? I think that too much detail in music results from the same issues that make some 4K movies hard to watch. Ultra-high resolution video sometimes reveals all the flaws in the sets and makeup, that would normally be invisible on a standard blu-ray ... | |
| How Many Times Do You Have To Listen To Understand A Piece Of Music? I know it's not fair, but I am quite judgmental when listening to new music. If I don't want to listen to the entire song, then it has almost zero chance of getting a second chance. | |
| Room is way too bright. @lovehifi22 "I keep hearing about this"first point of reflection." What exactly is that?" Did you do any online research at all? There is a ton of information on this subject at your fingertips, yet you seem completely ignorant of even the bas... | |
