Big speakers in small room at moderate volume levels
My wife walked into my office just now and almost busted a gut laughing at my panels. She is a normal person. The best reaction to my audio stuff occurred when my sister and her husband came to visit my bachelor pad in the Bay Area. As you open th...

I received the GIK panels and have installed them without knowing what I am doing. Once I  contact the GIK rep tomorrow and get the placement done with his guidance I will post some new photos. I though I would post some thoughts the GIK rep gave ...

@gosta The DEQX can be used by newbies like me however, it is a bit more involved. The first step is to take it your backyard and then take mic measurements without any wall interfering. I don't think I am going to go to all that trouble for my of...

@mheinze The Pass should have been a good match for the Persona for my ears. I think I would have liked the demo you had in Germany. You may really hate some amps I have owned in the past. I thought the Simaudio was warm sounding compared to those...

Is DEQX a game changer?
@ drewan77 Sorry for the late response, I forgot to check this thread. Your response was very useful. When I get my small room sounding good you are welcome to hear it.

@mheinze When I first heard the Persona 5F with the Lyngdrof 2170 I was ready to go home after 5 minutes. I selected the Lyngdorf because of the DSP feature. We did not use DSP during the demo because the room was rather large and the DSP was not ...

@erik_squires  My room treatments from GIK arrive today. I will listen with them for a while, though I do not have a big speaker to pressure my room. There are some short comings in my untreated room that can be improved upon. So I will be listeni... 
Hegel H590
I contacted Hegel about hearing this in S. Cal but none of their dealers have bought one yet. I do know that the Suncoast dealer in Florida has the Hegel and a ton of other integrateds. You may want to give him a call and talk to him about it rela...

Interesting take by Linn on DSP. These are fighting words against the approach taken my Lyngdorf and Antherm.https://www.linn.co.uk/blog/want-true-room-correction-drop-the-mic

This amp seems a little like the amp I just heard with Paradigm Persona 5F, the Simaudo 860A at $15K. They were great with the Personas. I have always had the CODA on my radar so much so that a few months ago I was corresponding with CODA on the a...

@tomic601 One of the tuners I have is a modified Sony XDR-F1HD. It was rather low cost but surprisingly decent quality. However, it is a bear to use and I maybe interested in selling it for something else. I do not have the dollars to do this yet ...

@tomic601  I already have 2 tuners. I for each of the 2 stations I jam to. Now if I had a 3rd station, but no third station around these parts.
