SourcePoint 888 owners – low-end bass in open rooms?
I have 888’s in a 1300 sq ft room. They are shared with my home theater, so I have 3 subs. I do measure with REW. I drive the 888’s with a McIntosh MC312, preamp is Anthem AVM 90. The subs are time aligned with a miniDSP 2x4 HD. The Anthem has ARC...

Sorry, couldn’t help it!  
MoFi Sourcepoint 8 - Initial Impressions
Good review, I like hearing about SP8’s especially upgraded with GR crossover parts. I have one SP8 for center channel with GR upgrade, including the Sonicap. I put all the crossover parts in a separate box. My two mains are SP888’s. The SP8 blen... 
Mcintosh MQ112
Sure, there's a defeat switch on the MQ112, so very easy to bypass the internal circuitry. I hear absolutely no degradation whether switched in or out with all eq settings at default 0 values. That is the main reason I went with the MQ112, putting... 
What speaker is the most musical, one you never want to sell?
traudio, I have never heard a V10. I do have a single 8, for my center channel. It blends very well with the 888's. I have not noticed excessive bass. I know every room sounds different. I'm in a 1300 sq ft room, and have (3) subs to balance out t... 
What speaker is the most musical, one you never want to sell?
Back in the 70's, I had a pair of Bozak Symphony b-4000 speakers. All paper cone. Each speaker had (2) 12" woofers, (1) 6" midrange, and (8) tweeters. They sounded wonderful! I got rid of them (which I regret) because of their size and a move back... 
How can I go about using an eq on my Dali MS 4.
I’m using a McIntosh MQ112 Environmental Equalizer. i only use it for old song touch up, not for room EQ. It’s very clean and trust the quality. It has a bypass switch, and usually run it like that, unless some songs need touch up.  
DAC to pair with Eversolo DMP-A6
I have a DMP-A6, along with a Denafrips Pontus 15th DAC. It sounds wonderful! For power - McIntosh MC312, Preamp - Anthem AVM 90, Speakers - MoFi Sourcepoint 888.  
Amplifier for MoFi SourcePoint 8 speakers
I'm driving my 888's with an MC-312, and, Anthem AVM 90 processor. For 2-ch I also use a Denafrips PONTUS 15TH R2R DAC.  It sounds fantastic! I was using an MC-152, but briefly saw the power guard led's flash during a listening session, so upgrad... 
EverSolo DMP-A8 with Denafrips Pontus 15th, both have i2S
I’ve been out of town on vacation, and just now reading this thread I originally started. Very interesting indeed your USB findings. I thought I tried USB, but not completely sure if I gave it a real chance. I should definitely revisit to compare ... 
Mcintosh MQ112
I usually use the 10k band to slightly cut, as some older songs are a little bright in that area, it tames them perfectly. I’m not able to use my system right now, I sold my Anthem AVM 70 and have a AVM 90 on order, maybe a week out. The MQ112 sou... 
Mcintosh MQ112
I have a MQ112. It is very nice! I don’t use it for room correction. I use it when listening to favorite 60’s and 70’s Rock. The MQ112 is very fun to play with, and I feel assured it is not degrading the signal in any way. I always had graphic equ... 
DAC to Preamp/Processor, question please?
No, haven’t tried just the Anthem. Thanks everyone, lots to think about  
DAC to Preamp/Processor, question please?
That’s good to know! I’m more at ease now, Thank you!  
How good is the crossover in your loudspeakers?
