| How many of you streaming? Depends on the album. To be honest, if I am trying to gauge what a new artist is like I will listen to the first song and see if it grabs me. If it does, I will finish listening to it. If it doesn't I will still skip through a few other songs jus... | |
| What was the craziest location that you made an audio purchase from? I bought a pair of Allison Model Two's from a discount furniture store. No idea why they had the speakers, but they were cheap and a huge improvement on what I was using at the time. | |
| Poll: Most impactful component I would upgrade my 68 year old hearing. No tinnitus and being able to hear frequencies over 15 Khz. | |
| "But it sounds better at night...." 1. Less going on on the power grid. 2. Less vibration from outside sources. 3. Less cosmic debris. 4. And most importantly. Less going on in my own head. Sitting alone in a darkened room with a nice glass of wine, listening to Linda Ronstadt si... | |
| Is there a ceiling limit on what you are willing to pay for an audio component? The simplest answer is that I pay what I can afford and what makes sense given the rest of my system. Since retirement I buy almost 100% used. There is always someone selling last year's model at a discount and any well-reviewed component is stil... | |
| How do you high pass your main speakers? @ddrave44 Yeah. The more I think about my options and how they fit into my setup, the possible cost and how it will affect the sound quality, the more I think that tweaking the bass array crossover point seems the way to go. Thanks for the feed... | |
| How do you high pass your main speakers? @carlsbad2 You are correct. The ATC don't go much below 55Hz, but I knew that before I bought them. I agree 100% with your assessment. I just thought I would ask the question so I could see if there was something I was missing. I also used the ... | |
| How do you high pass your main speakers? @esarhaddon1 "Before you go complaining to management as some have in the past," Why am I not surprised. | |
| How do you high pass your main speakers? @esarhaddon1 "You seem to be saying that yo don't like your speakers or that yo know better than the engineers that designed them." "OR maybe you really do have CR@PPY speakers. so what the heck, experiment away!" "No one reding your post has ... | |
| How do you high pass your main speakers? @ddrave44 That would be great, but I have an integrated amp. | |
| How do you high pass your main speakers? @12many Sorry, but the reality of the situation is that the 80kh crossover point was based on my previous speakers. I will be adjusting the crossover point to perhaps 65Hz and reassessing things. | |
| How do you high pass your main speakers? @phusis Thanks for the response. Actually my MiniDSP crossover is set to 80Hz for the subs so there would be a redundancy of frequencies from that 80Hz threshold and where the ATC's roll off around 54Hz. Perhaps it might be best to just tweak... | |
| Posting the wrong MSRP: why? @fredapplegate People do it with everything they sell, so why not audio gear? I've noticed myself that there is a wide range of retail prices for items, depending on where you look. Amazon is famous for having notoriously high pricing for the ... | |
| Bass- at what frequency does it change from sounding like a string to just a low tone? @m669326 I have ATC SCM19's, Musical Fidelity M6si, Lumin D1 streamer and a Denafrips Ares II dac. I use four subs connected to the MF via MiniDSP 2x4. I am still tweaking the setup because the speakers a relatively new to me and I have reconf... | |
