LFE means the .1 channel in a surround mix. In a surround setup the LFE channel has a dedicated 120Hz low-pass, which is separate from...

The power supply of your devices should each have their own noise filtering and overcurrent protection. Any change in sound quality...

Your problem is targeting a flat response. This does not produce a pleasing or accurate sound, human hearing has low bass sensitivity at...

Lets see your measurements. A common mistake I see is people trying to integrate a subwoofer without a high-pass filter, also fixating...

Thank you, I missed that. They have fairly good directivity so @cscs should be able to EQ the 1700Hz peak without issue. As for the...

Upgrading the ceiling cloud from 2" to 6" will definitely help the 100-400Hz region. You should see the decay times become more balanced...

Frequency response is arbitrary when you have access to EQ/DSP, assuming your speakers and signal chain have enough dynamic range. If...

Not only is adding a sub + DSP to your system worthwhile, I would argue it should be done regardless of which speakers you own. A...

Personally I would build 3 subs, each with 40L of volume and 2 drivers so you get an early but gradual bass slope suited to small rooms...

Sealed and ported subs are equally room dependent, the room modes and room gain created are equal. Sealed subs simply have an earlier...

They shipped you expensive + fragile replacement parts in an envelope with no tracking number? That is outright strange behaviour, the...

Is the whole Android audio stack just broken or does performance improve if a USB DAC or SPDIF converter is used?

Good quality drivers but the crossover and cabinet design has to be competent or they are wasted. Anyone can tune for good on-axis...

This problem potentially has 2-3 parts. 1. Power cables and speaker cables are effective broadband antennas, a lot of "audiophile"...

Ripping them for convenience is a good thing but I would never replace physical media. Streaming gives a much lower profit margin to the...
