    Room treatment - HT vs Music

    I've heard there would be difference in how you treat a room. Can someone explain those differences or point me to resources. Also can you blend the two without major compromise. I seem to listen to music about 80% to 20% movies and im thinking of changing how I treat the room to heavily...

    Ascend Acoustics Announces New Klippel NFS-Optimized Sierra Towers and Horizon Center

    I’d like to get @Dennis Murphy opinion on that. I think I’ve heard him say that he doesn’t believe mono testing is the proper way compare speakers. I think we are just scratching the surface with about our understanding of small room acoustic. I think Floyd did amazing work but my guess would...

    The shipping weight with the double boxing and packing was 50lbs per ups if that helps

    I agree with his review completely. That is exactly what these speakers are like.

    What is your favorite house curve

    Could you point me in the direction of information on doing it the right way you referred to. I have only come across the many discussion on tutorials on target room curves. I have the same speakers as @dataman above. I have audyssey not Dirac but think I can get Dirac if needed. Thanks!

    Polk vs Revel vs Kef - Polk sale throwing a wrench in my plans

    Right he asked what I went with though. It was an old post that I started towards the beginning of my search. Many here argue passionately that monitors with subs are just as good as towers…they make a compelling argument. If so the new ascend monitors should perform just as well if crossed...

    Polk vs Revel vs Kef - Polk sale throwing a wrench in my plans

    Yep that’s it. @SpeakerSeeker I had the same question. The website doesn’t get the most up to date info. They are busy enough keeping up with all the orders they have coming in from the forums apparently. They have monitors monitor too. One made for more low end one made for more dynamic...

    Apple HomePod (2nd Gen) (2023)

    Apple has their own anechoic chamber with all sorts of tech built in…Cost more than most speakers company whole RD budget combined. But after the original HomePod was a commercial flop they are more concerned about headphones/pods. With Apple what you are going to get is a company that is...

    Apple HomePod (2nd Gen) (2023)

    That’s not the market for this product but it’s an easy fix. Get and external power charger pack that has a usb c port. They are pretty cheap and can power if for hours. I use it for all sort of devices to make them battery operated

    Polk vs Revel vs Kef - Polk sale throwing a wrench in my plans

    Personally I wasn't a big fan of the Kefs, Ends up I like wide dispersion...ymmv. I ruled out the Polks after further considersation I bought the Revels and they are great. I also bought Ascend ELX and they are phenomenal. In the end I'm keeping the Ascend. The revel are truly great...

    Zero surge and surgeX are overpriced as hell

    Wow that’s expensive! They are definitely selling you fear not value I would think it’s cost a fraction of a fraction to be sure your homeowners or renters insurance covers that with a full replacement/upgrade rider. Aww golly gee my Hypex nc400s, denon 3700, etc got fried. Thank you for...

    KEF LS50 Meta vs KEF R3

    I could be off base here but I would not rely on room correction for the main-sub integration. At least audessy/denon have never spit out a descent setup for me.

    Speaker pair under $6k

    Yeah those do look super. I found powered speakers to be a pain with all those XLR and powers cable going everywhere though.
