| Advice on Speaker upgrade vs System Component Upgrade Your local dealer would probably deliver and set up the speakers in your home for you to evaluate for a time, especially at that price point. I’d have a console with them to see what they think. | |
| Crossover frequency curves - what should I be looking for? Generally, you would want the summed responses of all the drivers to be equal across the entire spectrum. This can change, sometimes dramatically, when listening off-axis where phase-issues between the drivers at those crossover frequencies revea... | |
| Perplexed on how single driver speakers can cover such a large Hz range I think you can get full-range drivers to play some good bass, in-room. But the cost would be cabinet size. You can take a larger 10"-15" full-range driver, but with their reduced xmax, they need a big enclosure to reach into the lower frequenci... | |

| Integrating speakers into contemporary decor - can WAF ever be overcome? To satisfy all parties in this endeavor, including interior designers, I’ve had great luck with products like the James Small Aperture series: https://www.jamesloudspeaker.com/categories/1 They also have subwoofers that can be hidden in so... | |
| Subs for SF Amati How about a pair of Martin Logan Balanced Force 210’s, instead? | |
| Best in wall speakers The JBL Synthesis system is pretty serious. You could also look at the Phase Technology Darts system as well as the James Loudspeaker offerings. Both are handled by custom integration firms so you would have to find dealers in your area. | |
| Sonus Faber Grand Piano or Totem Forrest? Zombie thread record? | |
