    Magnepan LRS Speaker Review

    Another data point for LRS. Mic is not calibrated for absolute SPL so disregard that. Measurements left and right from listening position 1/24 smoothing. Positioned for good imaging at LP, tweeters inside with toein (small sweet spot but really good when there). Limited in the placement with...

    Passive loudspeakers aren’t as lame as vinyl…yet!

    Built in Actives located in speakers = usually DSP compression and electronics obsolescence. External actives = Very nice once you account for the above.

    SMSL PS100 *$30.00* DAC (some limitations apply)

    Hi, I tried looking on the website but maybe a kind person here could answer a quick question. I need an SPDIF input that can be streamed to the computer via USB. I'd like to use the "Record" section in windows to "listen" to the SPDIF device. Does anyone know if the PS100 can do this? Thanks,

    Splitting Frequencies

    There is a difference between LFE and the subwoofer xover bass management. Set speakers to small and set the crossover frequencies in speakers and subwoofer to 40hz. Problem solved. LFE is like another channel of audio. It does not correspond to the subwoofer xover. LFE settings are...

    Magnepan LRS Speaker Review

    Poll for Topping PA5 owners only please.

    Not to discourage you as there are good units out there but did the above with 2 of my units. They still failed. I don't think it matters what you do if you get one of those units.

    Minidsp Flex Eight!

    Had mine for about a week. Had a few firmware bugs but they were fixed right away. Everything seems good now. Works as advertised. No measurements but seems like a good unit. I'm using them to run a 3-way open baffle line array. Seems like good value.

    Minidsp Flex Eight!

    It'd be nice if there were at least 2 or 3 times more taps. Really limits the use to high frequency only.

    Milind Kunchur Blind Cable Test

    Also if the time delay and phase are equal in both cables for a stereo run (which they should be) then we won't hear it anyways.
