No, but it's on my list now! I really had focused on his documentary work until I stumbled upon Fitzcarraldo, and it's clear I have underestimated his non-documentary work!

Fitzcarraldo. Best movie we just stumbled upon. A movie that will never be made again, and, though I like the other Herzog I’ve seen, it’s unlike anything else Herzog.

Cool speaker! Looks a bit like a DSP3200 from Meridian!

Ahh ok I get it. my statement above applied to a newer processor with the Ethernet speakerlink ports. I know nothing about the older ones, but I can confirm that spdif, analogue, and speakerlink on my processor are all live at the same time for output. I am fairly certain you can make the...

Yes - the digital and analogue outputs can be used simultaneously, I do that in my system. Meridian gear is super flexible if you’re willing to do some work. Check out meridian-unplugged forums, they have more excellent resources for this kind of thing.

As an extremely happy Modius + Magnius owner, I do not understand this product at all!

Yeah, it’s quite simple actually - get one or two ground rods, 5+ft long and copper, and drive them into the ground, leaving an inch or two exposed. Get two ground rod conductor clamps, affix those to each rod, and run a 10ga solid copper wire between the two rods to connect them. get some...

5200.2 set here for my main system. I love them. If they ever break, I’ll be rebuilding them, but they work like a champ and have since 2008. Happy to answer any questions!

I second this. Get a trainer or use rollers. I personally use rollers on my road bike, and I don’t have to do a thing to use it outdoors whenever I want.

I run a trifield setup on my Meridian system, just three main speakers, and it’s really darn good. The algorithm is different than that described here (and digital, so there’s no amplifier shorting issue), but I can vouch for “stereo+” kinda setups sounding great from a two channel source material.

I do cross over to the ELACs at 85hz, and I don’t use the LFE +10 in operation, though I did toggle that one to calibrate the phase when I first set it up. There’s a good guide on this in the Genelec “previous models” section of their website. The reason I haven’t messed much with the level...

I would personally buy the 8030C and do your own room correction. They’re both extremely competent speakers.

Missed the second part, sorry. I wouldn’t consider this sub an alternative to a home theater sub in a large room. It’s definitely purpose built for a studio or office system, but it’s very good at that. The inbuilt crossover is handy, the dip switches make it pretty flexible, and you can EQ the...

Left channel into left, right into right, then left to left monitor (amp, for me) and right to right monitor (amp, for me). the sum LFE is a different thing, not recommended. It’s really for adding subs to the chain, if I remember correctly. You’re meant to use the actual left/right connections...

DIY pair of Hypex NC400 monoblocks. They’re easy to assemble and sound amazing. Highly recommended with the DBR62.
