Two bookshelfs as center Kef Reference 5 and Kef R3
Ok so no due to comb filtering. I supposed that could occur but wouldn't that only be an issue if the speakers were offset?  Plenty of speakers use a similar design. All im doing is making a MTM configuration.   Anyway, I guess i won't do that.. ... 
Newb question about testing old speakers
@fiesta75 what do you mean they have an active crossover? I'm not an xover expert but what would make them active?  I thought they were passive.  
Installing huge tv with drywall lifter ?
Yes, except to plug in the Apple tv.  The plug was installed behind the tv.  
Installing huge tv with drywall lifter ?
Thank you for all the great ideas, thoughts, and maybe even prayers idk.. The Frame is a great idea and I love this tv, except it's a "clean" wall with nothing on it so the control box would be a challenge.  I already had this Sony Master 8k tv t... 
Newb question about testing old speakers
Thanks jasonbourne71. I am not trying to "tweak" them, just ensure they're all equivalent basically. I figure there's a high probability that one of their caps is worse than the other.. If anything, I would just replace with a newer cap. But I'm ... 
Duntech PCL-3 on-wall will xover at 80hz make easier to drive
Bringing this back up.. I'm no electrician but I do have a multimeter. What kind of impedence should I expect to see? 8 ohms? Do i connect my multimeter to the speaker terminals? I have 3 sets of these and they all have different stories.. I HIGH... 
Installing huge tv with drywall lifter ?
Thank you all for the replies. I agree, calling a friend is best. But I echo what one guy said up top, my friends are getting tired of helping me. I also agree with preplanning etc. But that's not always feasable with someone who likes to upgrade/... 
Installing huge tv with drywall lifter ?
gkelly, friends dont love doing this because they know it's a beast of a tv and they don't mind calling for help. I just like to have options to do things myself. I've always been very resourceful but this one has me in a tizzy.  There's t his th... 
Installing huge tv with drywall lifter ?
dekay, thank you but I'm not interested in paying and scheduling a couple of dudes to come out to hold my tv for literally 5 seconds. Many people, like myself, find myself tinkering alone late at night and I move things around too often to call so... 
Amazon abilities but with digital output... Sonos?
Interesting!  Just found this on Google:   No, you don't need an Alexa skill to use a WiiM Pro with Alexa. The WiiM Amazon Music interface is built using the Alexa Multi Room Music (MRM) API, which means it appears as a regular Alexa device. You... 
Amazon abilities but with digital output... Sonos?
Thanks Jeff, ok yeah I've been wanting to try the WiiM Pro hoping it acts like an Alexa, not having to go through the awful Alexa "skills" section.   This is for a small gym I own where clients come and go and are often by themselves. I want them... 
Amazon abilities but with digital output... Sonos?
Thanks for the input.  I do not want to use the 1/8th output jack on the alexa as that uses its internal DAC and is essentially double preamped / double volumed when you connect it to the main system.. "Main system" just means my main audio syste... 
JL Audio SA-600w subwoofer amp for non-JL audio subs?
I pulled the trigger on the JL SA-600w amp and I'm very glad I did. It just works well and is surprisingly "louder" and feels like it has more power than my Crown XPS. The DARO system works so well and easy/quick to use. I really like using the DA... 
Youtube audiophile hi res sounds MUCH better than my Eversolo streamer
Thanks @mattw73.  I do think one difference is those tracks on YT are cherry picked to be the best sounding/recorded versions of each song. I've had a really hard time finding those exact recordings in Tidal (and I tried some other platforms too).... 
Youtube audiophile hi res sounds MUCH better than my Eversolo streamer
Ok Soix thanks for looking. I'll try to do the same when I get home.  I do need more cross referencing obviously.  I've never heard a notable sound quality difference in Tidal vs Qobuz.  Also, i'm not sure how much difference this makes but I do ...
