Thanks both. Yes, I am already EQing the 650s with Amir's suggested settings (to great effect). I've tried the HD800s and liked them a great deal and this may be where I go. I suppose I was curious about alternatives and what's out there really. I'll check out the Arya Stealth - thanks Doug

Hello, I currently have a Topping DX7pro/Sennheiser HD650 setup as a Roon endpoint in the bedroom. I rarely use this setup (except when the other half is driving me nuts)! But, listening to it now, I am struck by how good it is. . . . . . . but where could/should I go next in terms of an...

I'd say GLM is essential with the 8361s. It just makes them 'work'. In my room if I switch off the correction the bass is boomy and all over the place. The response post correction is pretty 'thin' and I do apply quite a substantial bass lift in Roon to compensate but the result sounds...

My path looks like this: Yes, digital volume control MAY be less than perfect, but I've tried both and could not hear a difference. FWIW I have it set such that the digital volume is at virtually 100% for normal playback (so I'm guessing any 'loss' is minimal) Doug

SHD Studio is fixed or variable. I use the variable option, makes it easy to control in Roon. The Genelec 9101 B looks handy though. I don't have one of those.

Yes, either via the remote or within Roon.

I have an SHD Studio into 8361s - it all just works beautifully.

I'll take Klaus over Pink Floyd anytime. A true iconoclast lost far too soon . .

Just ordered mine (in UK) due to arrive Monday. Doug

I have a Sony NW-ZX300. Lovely build (single piece of aluminium, great connectors etc) but nothing special at all in terms of audio quality. I use it occasionally on flights etc but the quality of iPhones etc means they are just a fad to me. Save your money.

Looks like a most nakedly 'designed by the marketing team' piece of nonsense.

Ha Ha, I go past this all the time!

Exactly. It's not about it being hugely deep bass or even super loud (although it usually is) but the hard impactfulness of it. It HITS you, it feels like it could break something! I suspect (thanks to much on this thread) that it is a combination of the sound not being compressed (as it is...

Thank you - really nformative!

Christ on a bike!

Hmmm, I don't think it's that simple. I think Mattt (post 26) hit the nail on the head. It's possible also to do with how live music vs recorded is mixed - in that the engineer can really boost certain frequencies to create an audience pleasing 'impact' that would be too much on a recording

Sorry, it has drifted a bit! What I am trying to do is understand how the hard impactful bass of live events is created. Is it EQ'ing, just pure SPL or something else? I've never heard any domestic system really able to do it. I guess my hope would be by understanding what's happening I...

The bass was certainly not subterreanan - rolled off quite quickly in fact.

I think I said earlier there was a line of subwoofers in front of the stage

Yes, ultimately I'm not seriously trying to reproduce concert sound, but it's something I always notice with live music that I'd like to understand better.
