On the Linkwitz Lab web page, Siegfried recommended a minimum room of 240 sq. ft. with a minimum ceiling height of 8 ft. Your room size exceeds both of these handily. I run a set of LX521 baffles with the Orion bass modules in a 237.5 sq ft. room with a 7.67 ft. ceiling height and I have no...

Thanks for your response. Speakers are not a concern. I have a design heavily based on the Linkwitz LX521. I am looking for an amp to replace an old Adcom GFA535 to drive the tweeters. The remainder of the system is driven by Hypex nCore modules. I feel that the Topping PA5 ii would be...

The thread has gone completely off topic. I would be interested in seeing if there is any indication that reliability has improved over the PA5 to this point in time. Therefore, any reports on problems with the PA5 ii would be useful for those of us who might be considering purchasing this amp.

Voted #5. I have the LX521. Function over form.

"Come Away With Me"........ There is a reason I nicknamed her "Nasal Norah" after that CD.

Can you post the links for the plug ins for this VU meters?

Excellent idea!

I have always totally agreed with soundwave76 's first 2 statements. Bought the Zero:2 set from Amazon US based on Amir's review. Applied the 2 band EQ using MathAudio EQ in Foobar2000 along with using the Goodhertz CanOpener crossfeed VST (64 bit Foobar...). The performance of these IEMs is...

That would be me. Have your credit card ready.

if that is anyone's domestic case, a couple of wood screws through the baffle base into the woofer bridge would do the trick after you determine the amount of bafle toe in needed to optimize performance for a given room setup.

20 years ago, Linkwitz had not even conceived of the LX521. His main speaker design at that time was the Orion. The plans for the first version of the LX521 were released in October 2012. The "weird front baffle" was an integral part of the design and necessary to achieve full range dipole...

One thing I have discovered over the years is that "good gear" exposes bad recordings. In the many cases, "good gear" can make really bad recordings virtually unlistenable.

The D10s will give you both coax AND optical SPDIF output. As a bonus you also get a really nice performing DAC with RCA output jacks. You could use this to feed a headphone amp or any other equipment with analog input to add additional versatility to your system.

I think it all depends on how your total system is configured. My 3 way active Linkwitz stereo speaker setup require 8 channels of amplification that include 4 channels for the dipole bass sections. An Adcom GFA-555 drive two passive subwoofers for my HT setup that also use the Linkwitz...

Dahlquist DQ10, modified to DSQ10a specs, (mirror imaged), added a DQ1w subwoofer at some point. These lasted until I met Siegfried Linkwitz in 2002.
