in my small room, I have a tubes amplifier. I'll just tell you that it drives two 4 ohm speakers. 81dB sensitivity. But it's my...

85 dB is indeed plenty -- but why make the amplifier do the work? At the end of the day, air needs to be excited by a tranduscer of...

Greater than 85 dB can cause hearing damage if sustained, although short term bursts and lower frequency bursts might be OK. But the...

Big horn speakers aren’t on my list to try, so I’ll never experience what this could offer, in my home anyway. I wouldn’t mind hearing a...

After some research, It seems this thing isn’t accurate enough to be useful. I don’t need a switch box and rather not add extra parts...

Is there an accurate watt meter I can buy? It would be interesting to see just how much of the power I am using from the amp. Fosi Audio...

How loud do people need to listen for “serious listening” ? My speakers are 93db and easy to drive load and my 300B amp sounds dynamic...

I’m an “old skool” audiophile and there’s no way I’d spend more money on all those extra speakers and different equipment for a...

I just listen to the recording as is, some are incredible most are decent, but then some are garbage and tone controls won’t help much.

All I know is some of the best recordings I heard are from that era, before any digital processing was available. Some of the normal...
