| NEW Tekton Design Speakers - The Bonnevilles @deep_333 Leave the ports and build them into the front wall. Cover each one with a photo-printed fabric screen and voila! totally hidden and total WAF. | |
| Looking for specifications headphone output specs Yamaha CX-A5000 I checked the user guide and although they reference the headphone jack, they provide zero information as to its specs. I did however find that your AVR has some sound settings that I have never thought would exist. Such as settings based on what... | |
| NEW Tekton Design Speakers - The Bonnevilles There are plenty of ugly speakers, but Tekton has made it their signature trait. Is there something wrong with considering aesthetics in the scenario or am I missing something? | |
| Let's talk about Silver... Both times I tried silver interconnects, they were a little like chewing aluminum foil. Although, that seems a little HARSH. ;) | |
| What would you save in a fire? Interesting question. I am divorced and my cat passed last year, so it's down to "things". A couple of hard drives, my passport and a few family photos and mementos. Add in some artwork and ceramics and that's about it. All the audio gear can... | |
| Who is Roon? @mapman "It’s a common problem these days that people use the sins of others to justify their own sins" The problem may be due to the fact that we are in short supply of positive role models. We live in a time when vacuous TikTok "influencers"... | |
| Who is Roon? @mapman "Luckily Musk is OUR oligarch having immigrated from South Africa. Lucky us!" Why would you assume that an expatriate oligarch, or any oligarch for that matter, has any national loyalties at all? Perhaps if money and power were a count... | |
| The $27,900 disappointment? Wilson Audio Watt Puppy 8 issues. This reminds me of modern political campaigning. 90% of your campaign is spent telling the world what an idiot the guy you're running against is and 10% is used to tell the people what you are offering as an alternative. | |
| Nearfield Low-Level Listening : New Speakers or EQ? Thoughts? Just my two cents, but it seems that EQ won't fix your problem. EQ would be more for tweaking the sound of a system that is close to your ideal, whereas higher sensitivity speakers should function better at lower dB levels. I have 85dB speakers (A... | |
| Declare the correct value on the Customs form? I do not profess to know the intricacies of US customs costs, but if the shipper charged you $1,200 for something that was "not as described", I would not trust him to do what's right for you. | |
| Anyone else ever deal with Tidal "support"? Windows 7? Bob. Just because you explained your situation to Tidal support, doesn't excuse you from creating your own problems. Just because you live in the past, don't expect the rest of the world to help you exist there. Support for Windows 7... | |
| Subwoofer connection @gkelly is correct, in that a subwoofer with speaker level connections would be the way to go. However, because vintage receivers do not work with banana or spade speaker connectors, speaker level sub woofer connection is not a straightforward pr... | |
| ACTUAL MUSICAL SOUND VS. MEASUREMENTS I guess if you don't want to do the work and actually analyze what you are hearing or you're a novice that hasn't been into audio for very long, then measurements can be attractive. Armed with your measurements you can go online and act like you a... | |
| Is Subwoofer Elevation a Viable Option? @atmasphere How would furniture be "acoustically transparent" to low frequencies? Furniture is always included as a way of mitigating bass frequencies and serves the same purpose as a bass trap. When I built my acoustic panels, they required ... | |
| Is Subwoofer Elevation a Viable Option? @artemus_5 Yes, the REL's feet are the proper height, but the sub wouldn't be floating or have a hole under it. It would be on a table, plinth or pedestal so it would still radiate the same way. Just not at floor height. |
