how many ways to hook up a subwoofer
@ozzy , would you mind mentioning the model number of the Jensen ISOMAX? I have a vintage system and that might be a good option for me, thinking of adding a sub to it.   thanks  
Good Speakers for Rock and Roll Under 15K
Guess I’m saying the Pioneers didn’t show a mid bass dipping the graphs but they sure as hell didn’t have any rhythm in that arena. The Focals rock out with the best of them IMO of course using many different amplifiers and front ends.   
Good Speakers for Rock and Roll Under 15K
 Can you measure dynamics and punch of a speaker? I have no idea. I pretty much just know what a flat frequency response looks like on a graph and know that 5 out of 5 will all sound different with similar responses IME. My Tad S-1Ex sucked with m... 
Recommendations on integrated amps
IMO Musical Fidelity sounds really good for the money and uses prices are great. Could maybe get into an M6si for $1500 or something a little older for sure A300, A1008 etc. lots of power and detail but really smooth.

@atmasphere  “@gregjacob Its actually a myth that a speaker can be good for one genre of music (rock) and not another.”   I could not disagree more..   
Time, Wear, and Technological Evolution
IMO your really nice Focals would walk all over the Ls50s for rock and metal especially. If you make a change I would definitely keep them till you try out the new stuff. 20 years on speakers in my experience is not a big deal at all. I’ve had spe... 
What was the first power cable that you noticed a difference in the sound?
Been running a Synergistic research cord for around 3 weeks now on my Lyngdorf 3400. Didn’t expect to hear any difference especially since Lyngdorf says their amps are impervious to cords. I absolutely hear a difference. It sounds bigger and more ...

Tektons are the bomb for rock / metal. Dynamic like a horn but smoother than most horns. They are fast and have great mid bass as well which is key for rock.   
KEF LS50 Wireless vs Alternatives
Of the Dyns vs KEFs I’ve had I would agree the Dyns will be waay fuller sounding than the KEFs and have a way stronger mid bass but not as much detail overall.    I don’t know for sure but guessing the Wireless2 will be probably better but more o... 
Should I steer clear of class D amps
My Lyngdorf 3400 is the only class D I’ve ever liked. It’s kinda class D I guess, more like a power DAC. Anyway it’s very natural sounding without the lower treble glare I’ve heard with every other Class D amp I’ve had. Granted it’s also the most ... 
Young audiophile metal head looking to level up speaker choice
Really…… if gonna come hard like that back it up. Where’s your proof of what you are saying?    “Their tweeters are low-rent distortion machines, both in measurements and sound. “  
What to do with dead equipment
I have a local guy that’s done an Odyssey amp I blew up due to my dumbassness and added a preout to my tube integrated. Fairly inexpensive.   
What to do with dead equipment
Sell it for parts cheapish or get it fixed. There is probably an audio tech near you that knows his sh.t. It’s not rocket science so doesn’t necessarily need to be the manufacturer that fixes it. Don’t throw it away unless you like to throw away m... 
REL Hum. Stumped
Nice good job 👍. I was gonna suggest a cheater plug to float the ground.   
Best Used Speaker Under $4,000 w/ Respectable Lows
Also I might look at Tekton. Great speakers for the money and much above IMO. Great bass and everything else.
