BEST HORN LOUDSPEAKER TO PURCHASE
By far the best audio demonstration I’ve experienced was Devon’s Art Of Noise in San Francisco.    https://ojas.nyc/products/sun-audio-sv300be-kit?Tubes=Western+Electric+300B+w%2F+WE300B+Tubes&Workshop+%2B%24400=Yes Right from the needle dro...

Is your system still Analog if you use any form of DSP?
@maam522a  the use of DSP in room adjustments, subwoofer integration, etc.... If I use DSP as a filter to split off my subs is my system no longer analog??? To use signal processing "in room adjustments" for main speakers? Then you've entered t... 
Thoughts on a pair of Velodyne SC-8
@highend64  Would two subs receiving the same signal placed symmetrical to the listening position work in this aspect? What are your thoughts? From my experience directly comparing the big REL Studio III Sub Bass System and a Velodyne DD-18 S... 
Pondering REL and Dynaudio subwoofers.
@gotolondon2 A well experienced time with Velodyne. If something happens to my DD Plus' I'll defiantly audition the Dynaudio, thank you. My home sub history begins in 1967 with an Octavium. The mastering engineer who sold me the sub cabinet built... 
Pondering REL and Dynaudio subwoofers.
@gotolondon2   I have had Velodyne, JL Audio, and SVS subs.  Which model Velodyne and how did you determine its position in your room?  
Pondering REL and Dynaudio subwoofers.
You're considering two very different animals.  If I'm understanding Dynaudio Sub6 spec "(Hz @ 85dB +/- 3dB): 16" as well as the manuals suggestion of placing the unit at the listening position to excite your rooms unique standing wave bass mod... 
Magnepan LRS+ and WiiM Amp
@yyzsantabarbara  I just saw your Nov 2025 ad on the US Audio Mart, pending sale. I'm guessing a Santa Cruz Bullit?  email me if the pending falls through.   
Atlantic Technology SP-8000 inline with REL R-218 sub
@highend64  I was simply going to suggest optimizing room integration focus afforded by audibly precise standing bass wave mode room location positioning of your -2dB HSU subwoofer.  By referring to his -6dB products as "Sub-Bass Systems" Richard... 
Atlantic Technology SP-8000 inline with REL R-218 sub
Your R-218 is an innocuous -6dB@25HZ sub-bass woofer compared to the HSU STF-2 actual -2dB@25HZ subwoofer. This is a huge difference in actual low frequency output. How did you come to select the location of the HSU within your room?  
User feedback on subs
@mgrif104  I believe the three brands you're considering are all manufacture rated @-6dB. Subjectively marketed as subwoofers this "safe" amount of roll off is dramatic enough so as not to excite a rooms standing wave bass modes at the expense of ... 
Klipsch Heresy IV owners? what amp are you running
@decooney Regardless of the component in question any account of someone’s getting off the Merry-Go-Round makes for an interesting read. Thanks for sharing, nicely done.     
How Much Do Your Subwoofer(s) Cost Relative to Speakers
["@ryder  A lot of people advocate a minimum of 2 subs but some rooms (including mine) can’t accommodate more than 1 either due to the size or arrangement.  Does this photo convey how you see a subwoofer located in your room?    
Advice on choosing speaker cables for vintage Altec Model 19 speakers
I used DIY spade terminated lamp wire for years on my VOtT A7’s, just like everyone else.   
Subwoofer recommendation and wisdom
["@bartsw    The crawl is outdated and likely not something Dirac and Audyssey would recommend. One crawl does not tell you whether you are far or near target like a mic and it takes many crawls. It's just a yes/no at best. It does not tell you...
