    Does dual sub matter if both subs have equal dips/peaks in REW room sim?

    Hi fellow forum members, Soon I have the options to go dual sub. However, placement is fixed in both corners. Room sim (REW) does not show big differences between the dips/peaks between one and two subs (left and right front corner). Since the MLP is in a super position (approximately in the...

    Experiences with Roon, Plexamp & Symfonium in 2025 (update)

    Dear fellow forum members, The past few weeks I've been experimenting by using Roon, Plexamp and Symfonium. The reason for doing so was that I was using Plexamp but I was missing the Tidal integration badly and I hate that Plexamp cannot stream to my KEF LSXII (something with a Cast version...

    Streaming service that allows for sorting by genre

    It seems so hard to find, and it should be so easy? I'm in dire need of filtering my library by genre. In the morning I'd like to browse through my classical records. I currently use Roon, but not sure if I want to keep it (costst). But if Tidal (currently using) would allow for filtering by...
