Try Neumann’s or Genelec’s, not possible,to make a wrong choice in their line-ups.

How do you handle sub integration? I think this can be the difference between good and great.

Re Distortion - lower in FR you go, less sensitive we are to distortion, in lowest frequencies THD below 10% is consider unaudible (search for some subwoofer test e.g. on audioholics or on erin’ s page. So any distortion added by amp will be magnitudes lower than combination of driver distortion...

It makes perfect sense for speakers with 3 spikes, getting 4 spikes right on the stone slab is quite tough, you can be still left with small vibrations, as one spike will be not 100% aligned with the others. Actually it is always interesting to realize how different conditions people have -...

Tough one, I have 3 pairs of XT35's and I am driving them with Purifi 1ET400 modules from Audiophonics [you get similar from I think is called Nord Audio? in UK]. This is tons of cheap watts or you can choose something with HYPEX Ncore modules, this is even more accessible. But before you blame...

I am in the “decouple” camp and using gaia’s and isopucks everywhere. I see you have the carpet, consider to add...

1) Foam vs Rockwool [or similar] - rockwool is just denser and you get the same performance from thinner panels. e.g. GIK Acoustics is using this type of absorption. 4 or 6in wool panels are already usable, if yo support them with air gap and can nicely improve 80-200Hz range, if placed...

unfortunately, sometimes there situations, that just can not be solved in any really good way. 1) room dimensions (on top of size) are the problem - almost cube - it makes all the bass (now referring to the range below 250Hz) problematic. Not only for electrostats, but in general. 2) most of the...

I do not think it exists at all - it is just somebody running downmixed version via his processor and measuring DR - results are the same as normal Atmos mix, which you can buy as physical copy or if I understand correctly this source ->...

+1.000 and weakest link will be the listener itself. Interesting trend - and there is hope that it is not just fade, as Apple is behind it. We are subjected since years to worse and worse SQ - not only in pop/hip-hop music, but it seems like every remaster is targeted to make older recordings...

fun thing is that headphones guys have this tech for free (crosstalk cancellation) and they are trying to introduce it back by applying crossfeed. Grass is always greener on the other side.

I know audiophiles are prone to exaggeration - with every minuscule adjustment - bass gets tighter, musicians appear in the room out of 5th dimension, you know the drill. My opinion is that at some point our ears and brain are the weakest point of the whole chain. I will try to formulate in as...

not too much to do with LEDE, which was primarily meant for mixing/mastering spaces with listening position in front 1/3. Highly simplified: Waveforming is active acoustics, where specifically placed front subs create planar wave [removing height and width modes] - using room as a waveguide...

Cool thing to round up your HT. About A4 papaer size, black/gold print on aluminium

2) some time ago I went into the direction of D Class amps - first Hypex, then Purifi. What I really appreciate about them is absolute silence and transparency, that goes well with electrostats, as it allows for all the details to be retrieved from the music. On top Purifi amps have variable...

Additions to the gear: 1) DAC/Streaming - subjectivist/deeply hidden Golden Ear took over for a while as I wanted to round up my setup with a piece od audio jewellery. Intended use is external DAC for Trinnov Deciding/listening/comparing - either in my home setup, or in studios, or couple of...

Brightness can be the result of too much of toe-in or wromg rake. Positioning can have great influence on tonal balance.

I will have a chance to audition them week after Easter. It will be big room, paired with tube stuff Lampizator etc. What I have heard as a feedback so far - Apogees reborn.

Sometimes it is better to think it over properly, than answer in haste. 7 years is very Zen. But thread topic is valid as ever - yes, even best speakers will benefit from proper subwoofers. My 15A’s go nominally well below 20Hz in the room, but with 8x18 in subs crossed over at 80Hz it just...
