    Anthem MCA 225 GEN 2 versus Parasound A23+ Halo

    While I love my Anthems, I'll have to agree with @JSmith . Purify or hypex is going to cost about half of the Anthem or Parasound and sound damn good. Both of which seem to have good track records. If you're stuck on getting either Anthem or Parasound, I'll just say I have the Parasound preamp...

    Is my new 65" Tv mounted to high?

    Well, I just measured my 75'' and it's 58'' from the floor to the center. And, Yes, it's too high. I usually sit 12' to 14' away, so Ideally, I need to lower mine another 10'' to 12''s. In the end, all that matters, is what seems enjoyable to you and your family.

    Even Margot Robbie loves vintage HiFi.

    Well, I don't know if she picked out her gear or hired someone to do it. But I have heard her on interviews stating she is a 70's and 80's rock music fan. From what little I do recall; I would definitely say she is into music.

    Why does spotify sound better then my hifi setup through headphones?

    Go into your settings on Spotify. There is an equalizer if you choose to use it.

    Amir's 2023 Pacific Audio Fest Report Continued

    My 1st thought, honest to god, was this had to be a contest. Let's make the ugliest speaker we can, throw in some BS marketing, and see how much we can squeeze from these suckers. Seriously, this thing makes a lot of pro audio stuff look elegant.:facepalm: Anyhow, thanks for all the hard work...

    Will you stop using Spotify now? Vote

    Over the past five years or so, i've bounced back and forth between Spotify and Amazon music. Currently using Spotify but I have never been so close to giving up Spotify, as I am right now. Last week my music saved/play list, went from 7600 songs to 3600 songs. That's right, 4,000 songs just...

    What makes you Passionate about Audio

    I first became infatuated with audio at the age of 13, when I stayed at a relatives for a family reunion. My older (18) cousin had a system that blew me away. So, saving my money from working at a grocery store on the weekdays, and a trucking company on weekends. At the age of 14, I purchased my...

Tell them, here in the states we do have some laws that actually lookout for the consumer. Remind them, they have 30 days to pick them up from the time you tell them...

    Looking for sweet sounding class d amp with balanced/differential inputs

    I agree with @Killingbeans. If it's (amp) only for the tweeters as you say. I would just look for a decent low powered a/b amp.

    Blown Mackie Thump 15-A - Worth Fixing

    I have you physically inspected the woofer yet? If the woofers are toast, when you push in the woofer, listen for some scratchy noise. If the woofers look after inspection and the woofer cone push method doesn't produce any scratching, then your problem most likely is in your audio chain.

    Can a center channel improve stereo music?

    IMO, only you can answer as to whether or not you may like it. Using a center channel for music, would simply come down to personal preference. However, I do think it degrades the whole stereo image when adding a center. After all, stereo music is two channel audio. Personally, I have never...
