I prefer sealed subs & from what you have said, I believe that you would as well.

Someone with greater technical expertise may correct me, but my understanding is that the ported subs are capable of higher output...

I recently bought a Rythmik F12, which I have found to provide deep bass and to integrate very nicely. I used Dirac to calibrate, and...

A small piece of carpet cut to size under the speaker is one easy way to protect the floor. In most cases, that's all I need. I have...

I have an old pair of Thiel's in my video system that are floor standing. My floor is Brazilian Cherry so I definitely care about not...

Interesting, I do find with Dirac engaged it is a night and day difference. My already excellent speakers are elevated to ethereal, and...

I don't wave the mic randomly or in figure 8's. I follow the Dirac on screen instructions precisely. It works just fine. Try it. I'm...

Some might find it heretical, but I stopped using a mic stand years ago; when I calibrate, I sit in the main listening position and hold...

I have used a UMIK-1 (sold it) and UMIK-2 (still have but will sell eventually) that I bought when I had a MiniDSP SHD, which did not...

That's great! You should be fine. I have found Dirac to be very forgiving on the hardware side. I have a UMIK-2 mic, and the Emotiva mic...

Do you have calibration file for the mic? If so, give it a try.

I like apartment living. I've had several houses and enjoyed the space and the distancing but not the responsibilities or the isolation.

I had the same question of high output vs low output when I bought my current rig (Technics SL1200GR/Grado Reference3 cartridge). The...

The Goldring cartridge you mention is a moving coil and will need a phono pre-amp with sufficient gain or a transformer in addition to...

I would suggest using the Revel Performa3 F206 in the music room and skip the sub. If you use Dirac or similar, they easily EQ to about...
