| Full range stand mounted speakers Just get a good scratching post and show them how to scratch. Use your nails while they watch and rub so cat nip into it. I have never had issue with my cats and speakers. Active speakers are the only ones I can think of. Dutch & Dutch 8C... | |
| SabrinaX Sub-Crossover 60hz with a highpass is a good starting point. Basses on the stereophile measurements of the Sabrina X, the woofer is taking a dive at 70hz. There is zero chance an 8” driver will outperform subs at 60hz-70hz. | |
| Would you choose 1 ou 2 subwoofers for a stereo set? I would pass on the 10” JL. Too small, honestly I would pass on JL they are over priced and break a lot (I own two and have had 4 replacements subs…). | |
| Does the Audio press ever excite you anymore? I am use YouTube almost 100% for audio reviews and press releases. I just listen while I am out and about. But for me it is just entertainment. I am pretty much done with my system or least know my next few upgrades as money allows. Where I am... | |
| Five feet from the front wall Genelec explains it better than I ever could. https://www.genelec.com/monitor-placement | |
| Five feet from the front wall desper, for box speakers. For bipolars I have no idea as the back wave is out of phase. I will have to think about the math on it. Macg19, good to hear it worked out. those distances are based on wave lengths and the speed of sound. What... | |
| Five feet from the front wall I always measure from the driver face/cabinet face. 5’ is no man’s land though. You will want to be no more than 39” or more than 7’ for smooth bass due to 1/4th wave rear wall cancelation. It is of course more complicated than that as all boundar... | |
| Best set-up under $20K Have you guys A/B-ed air play? I have with tidal connect through a streamer both hardwired and Wi-Fi, air play through the same streamer (both tidal and Apple Music over air play). Also A/B-ed to an optimized Mac and honestly they are all real har... | |
| Best set-up under $20K Grover30, Did you play with the treble switches before chasing amps? But I can see class D being a no go on these (I use a MC462). I run subs with my 4367 (but I do with all my speakers) and I have the UHF at -0.5db I also listen to hard roc... | |
| Best set-up under $20K The 803d3 is not worth the upgrade from the d2 imo. I heard them in the same room system. It is just a little more transparent and a little flatter but really the same speaker. The 802 is noticeably better in the bass but honestly I would just add... | |
| Upgrade from BS Node 2i? Ifi zen stream maybe. According to these guys it is cheaper and better. https://youtu.be/r7RMblioXuY?si=W5mQzp3IJitx2-Uo | |
| Tower Speakers Close to Back Wall 24” measured from the driver face is actually good for the bass, as bass is omni directional and the close boundary minimizes the 1/4 wave cancelation your get between 3.5’ and 6’ into the room. This is why you often see subs close to the front wa... | |
| Klipsch speaker placement They can all be placed in a room. I do fine some of them have a bass shelve (downward shelve) and are more full with some wall boundary enforcement. | |
| Full range speakers under $5k used. Any suggestions ? Honestly buy a subwoofer system and add it. all these “full” range speaker really lack dynamics in the bass. It takes both surface area and power for good deep bass. | |
| Focal Aria 948 Honestly in this price range/speaker size you really need subs. An active crossover that allows for a highpass is really the key to good bass with domestic size/cost speakers. I have owned some of the products recommend in this thread and they... |
