Friend needs help
Tell your guy to get these speakers for around 2000 dollars...Tekton Epic 15 https://tektondesign.com/product/full-range-speakers/full-towers/epic-15/#color They sound better than speakers priced 20 times, 30 times more, etc. There is no beatin... 
Are there any current production great speakers using AMT tweeters?
Get your ears checked..if both ears are in the ballpark of each other.. For my ears- no. Every single air motion / ribbon type tweeter I have heard have had obvious image left/right shifting issues. Basically center image wander / instability, e... 
The Loneliest Hobby, PART 2
Perhaps it tends to attract a certain personality type...loners  It has never been a lonely hobby for me.. When I was teen, 20s, etc I had a cousin, friends, etc to hang out with and we'd introduce different bands, etc to each other.. Adult yea... 
Subwoofers - crazy upgrade!
Name 5 of your favorite tracks and the spl you listen to them at. @gdaddy1 wrote I'd bet that of your four subs there are one or two that are weaker in output than the others. They get set at higher levels due to their position in the room. If ... 
Looking for New AV Processor
None of these are a sonic upgrade from the Yamaha CX-A5000... Keep it running, dump the 65 inch tv and get a 100 inch tv.  
Dynaudio Confidence Alternatives
Yamaha NS-2000A for 8k and some.change...Buddy of mine bought it and he has been wondering if he overpaid for a tad I sold him some years ago. Even the nitpickiest wife should be able to admire the aesthetic of it. You can only get something of ... 
The Best Sounding Systems can Play Loudly with Low Distortion
The best drivers on earth hide inside the high end pro speakers. These things are already designed to play clean at 125+db (no easy feat). When you play them at your easy peasy regular 85 to 90db, there is no stress on such drivers, distortion is ... 
Subwoofers - crazy upgrade!
Since your double impact has some legit ~30hz extension,  you could see if you room permits a [1/4,1/4], [1/4, 3/4] location for them, at which point they can also serve as part of the distributed bass array (this depends on your room size, of cou... 
Subwoofers - crazy upgrade!
By using the 1/4, 3/4 type of placement, you also eliminate the issues at 1/8th, 3/8th, 5/8th, 7/8th positions --> harman virtual sub principle For the height dimension, raising a sub to the 1/4 height, 2 feet up is easy to do. For a 3/4th h... 
Subwoofers - crazy upgrade!
Move the subs out of the corner and try something like this..   Rather than stacking, you can also get a in-wall sub for either sub 3 or sub 4..and mount it in the ceiling at the same lengthwise/widthwise location in image above. Ideally, you ... 
LFE vs High-level subwoofer connection, for FIDELITY
Right right,  Paul knew something that cavemen like Dr. Brian Ding (Rythmik), Dr. Hsu, etc didn't.....NOT Nonsense. Paul McGowen also highly recommends High level connection as does anyone in the world of subwoofers!! It's so simple even a ca... 
LFE vs High-level subwoofer connection, for FIDELITY
Guess you never had a mic, spl meter or anything....Gain and phase adjustment/setting will be different for each connection type....before you started to compare any diffaw-rances. Night & Day difference in my system between low level and sp... 
LFE vs High-level subwoofer connection, for FIDELITY
The "extra fidelity" from speaker level connections is some extra foolery propagated by the REL guy... If the preamp has xlr pre-outs and the sub takes xlr input...I would go with those and call it a night...If that's not possible, use the rca pr... 
LaScala speakers
That klipsch crossover is trash...these fools are screwing up a great speaker with that trash. Klipsch knows diddly about designing electronics. Hook that up with one of the Accuphase crossovers/processors from a digital pre (without adc). My frie... 
Large MP3 Library from 2000s CD conversion/rip/sunset
You had a 2 TB drive, you said? 4000 CDs ripped lossless into wav or flac is 2.8 TB or so. So, why did you rip it all as mp3 dude? You couldn't get one more drive? What's the matter with you?   Anyways...A amp like the Yamaha R-N2000A... if you...
