    $30K Budget - On the quest for my "end game" speaker

    B&W solid line, KEF dashed line. Which one has the elevated high frequencies? (rhetorical question)

    $30K Budget - On the quest for my "end game" speaker

    The measurements I’ve seen on B&W vs KEF speakers very clearly confirm what your ears have heard.

    This. I’ve just activated the ignore feature for the first time with one individual.

    Apparently there’s at least one more option in cardioid speakers that I realized. :D

    True in just about every hobby/passion/pursuit. Frankly, it’s just silly to think otherwise.

    $30K Budget - On the quest for my "end game" speaker

    I think the conversations about cardioids and actives helped the OP expand his criteria, and this COULD be the biggest contribution this long conversation has made. Some astute observations of the comments in this and other threads can probably narrow down the potential candidates to a very...

    $30K Budget - On the quest for my "end game" speaker

    He’s listened to a lot of speakers, and traveled some pretty long distances to do so. Somewhere within the nearly 3000 posts is documentation of most if not all of what he’s listened to. The list is pretty extensive. It’s narrowed down to (most likely) active cardioid design speakers, which...

    How NOT to set up speakers and room treatment ( Goldensound)

    Ok, I get the concept of not eliminating all reflections, but what about the first reflections? Is this something worth working on with room treatment? And should we be worrying about RT60? My RT60 is over 800ms from about 500 to 8000hz+. This seems like something worth attending to. Am I...

    Control your miniDSP Flex from your iPhone (new Homebridge plugin)

    This looks really promising, and allows some great capabilities, not the least of which is a pre-set volume per input. Possibly dumb question, but is there any possibility that the MS Surface Dial could be integrated to allow volume control via the homebridge?

    What do I upgrade next? Sub or DSP or Streamer

    It takes a while to get REW figured out I suspect for most people. Once you do, you’ll have a series of aha moments. I’d go for a DSP solution first.

    Animal, vegetable, or mineral? Is it bigger than a breadbox? WTF is a breadbox btw?

    $30K Budget - On the quest for my "end game" speaker

    It's really nice. I've had some issues with the Rpi Zero falling off my network that I seem to have resolved, but I'm about to upgrade my DIY rooextend box to Rpi4 and hopefully that will solve that problem. DrCWO is super responsive to users. Can't say enough good things.

    I use the MS Surface Dial via DrCWO’s rooextend/roodial setup. Works really well with Roon. There’s a way to use the Dial with the MiniDSP SHD that I think does not require Roon.

    Adding a 10-band PEQ to a DAC - What is holding manufacturers back?

    What do you feel the flex is missing? In terms of switching between multiple digital, and one analog input, it can act as a pre. There’s volume regulation that works well. I don’t remember if it is a full 10 bands for eq, but I think it is. You can do crossovers to integrate subs, and there...

    The online coffee/espresso culture mirrors the subjectivist audio crowd.

    I was telling a friend who is big into bourbon about sited vs blind testing isn’t the audio world, and he said it’s the same in the whisky world. When they do blind taste tests, preferences do not correlate to cost or prestige.
