| Seeking Bookshelf Recommendations @brylandgoodman you will not be disappointed with the Fritz. | |
| Seeking Bookshelf Recommendations Overloading a room with a larger speaker is a myth Maybe. Maybe I don’t mean overload but I certainly don’t have the space to take advantage of what a floor standing speaker would provide. I just know when I turn it up past 80db or so it’s ... | |
| If you have a nice system why do you really need room treatments? This entire thread is a mess. OP doesn’t have treatment but does have it. Why are people dependent on Dirac, by the way I use it too. It’s all over the place. | |
| Seeking Bookshelf Recommendations I use stand mounts cause a floor stand speaker would overwhelm my listening space. My stand mounts can overwhelm it as well at volumes above 80db. While a stand mount and floor stander might take up the same footprint the stand mount doesn’t tak... | |
| Seeking Bookshelf Recommendations Two pairs of Pulsars on Audiogon for sale right now. They are over your budget though. I have Fritz Rev 7 SEs and they are excellent in my small listening room. I don’t think you’d be giving up much, if anything, having the Carreras vice the Pu... | |
| Mark Levinson Has Saved Me And My MUSIC!! I listened to the demo tracks on his website and it makes a significantly audible difference. I stream mostly so I thought it wasn’t worth the cost but likely would buy it if it could convert streamed content. I have no frame of reference to ana... | |
| If you have a nice system why do you really need room treatments? Here’s a video that speaks to this topic. The clap example he gives at around the eight minute mark illustrates the point well. https://youtu.be/DrPvXt5Anz4?si=Ka4Qs2-78ROMYVaY | |
| Measurement Bias Good point. Seems like spending a reasonable amount of time listening to a component in a well known system where that one new component is the only variable would be a good place to start. Then measure and see if it matches listening experience. | |
| If you have a nice system why do you really need room treatments? Cause it corrects the way the room is interacting negatively with your system. I like the look of my treatments and they are functional. As @jpan states, you won’t know till you measure and fix things. | |
| Am I right for this forum? @ghdprentice The music was very severely compromised...so it goes. Are you a Kurt Vonnegut fan? That's too bad that the new conductor felt the need to change things so drastically, at least relative to what you liked. | |
| Am I right for this forum? @immatthewj either that or affirming that he belongs in this forum. | |
| Am I right for this forum? @immatthewj someone commented “cue Stuart Smalley”. The OP wrote that the comment stung a bit. I responded that he should ignore them. | |
| Am I right for this forum? Of course you belong as much as anyone else does. I would ignore the Stuart Smalley comments. There seem to be a few folks on here who like to type things they would likely not say to someone's face (at least I hope not). By the way @chrshanl37 ... | |
| Whats playing on your system today? Jellyfish - Bedspring Kiss | |
| No discussion about the Synergistic Pink fuse? Yeah, I don’t really get the OPs comment. I have the Purple fuse and it did make a noticeable difference. |
