Is it possible to add listening position? Some people have big rooms but sit closer or farther away from the TV/phantom center position

+1 It will be interesting to see the measurements that Amir takes. I felt the distortion in the high end was quite good, and the bass probably has more distortion than that in the JBL 4319. It’ll also be nice to see the data with Amir’s standardized tests and his subjective opinion too.

Do you mix music or movies? The high end seems much less sharp than a 708p, and I found another review which mentions that it was “too smooth on the high-end for his tastes in regard to mastering” https://recordingmag.com/meyer-sound-amie/ Was it harder to listen and make decisions on the...

What I don’t get is that at low volumes, testing in mono right now, the 708P sounds detailed but unusually sharp or accented with a track like Hotel California (Hell Freezes Over) where the guitars are really “forward” as are the vocals. That is, you hear the primary guitar and the singer. The...

Some non stylized shots I don’t think the transformers can be separated from the user interface box. Maybe there’s some sort of headphone stand that fits in the gap. It looks odd to me too, and I generally consider myself a fan of Yamaha looks/design. I like the idea of sound fields for...

Yeah, I'm less worried about the spinorama since they've already hinted in the White Paper that there are sacrifices made to minimize latency, optimize impulse response/phase, and REPLICATE the Acheron sound in a smaller space RATHER THAN "hear exactly what is on the recording.” The Acheron 80...

And it just needs to be one-time, not indefinite transfer.

Agree. I would make sense of they allowed one transfer to a new AVR. Since Dirac is playing at a mass market level now, if they don’t want to drop the prices, they have to do something like this. Maybe they will sell 20X the licenses by letting people migrate their purchase once or twice...

+1. Yes, I've been to "garages" which are more like luxury lounges with the cars on display like museum showcases and then there are garages which are just garages full of storage boxes and Christmas decorations, and everything in between. I agree that it only makes sense to go with Meyer...

Honestly, with the money we all presume you have, you should hire a company like Meyer Sound to make something special for you (and share it with us so we can live vicariously through you!). I am just a hobbyist who started playing with MAPP XT (this software) after picking up a Meyer Sound...

For sure. Reliability is one reason I decided to splurge on the Meyer when a demo pair was available so I could get a decent deal on it. You'd imagine that a company like NBC Universal gets bumped to the front of the line for orders, but spare parts may be an issue and while most of us watch a...

NBC Universal just switched from JBL to Meyer Sound. They are using Amie’s in one of their systems but you can actually see the photo shows a JBL 7 series. New Meyer Sound https://www.mixonline.com/sfp/nbcuniversal-studiopost-hitchcock-theatre Old JBL...

If you look at the FR plots, the Amie is NOT as smooth. Once you get into the movie-spec directivity, it also might not have as good of a preference score.

Congrats on a very nice garage. The easy answer is yes, you can go with the Revel 126 Be and I'm sure it'll be great. That said, for something like this, you're less focused on sound stage and more focused on tonality and SPL. This is where industrial solutios from companies like Meyer Sound...

Yes, these are already en route to @amirm for a formal spin on the Klippel NFS. $8160/pair MSRP (Sept 2023) Manufacturer's Website Specifications Frequency Response 45 Hz – 20 kHz ± 4 dB Phase Response 190 Hz – 20 kHz ± 45° Linear Peak SPL 120.5 dB with 18.5 dB crest factor (M-noise)...

Right now, a great system for BEQ is the Monolith HTP-1 since there is a web interface that lets you search for a title and apply and undo the BEQ all from a simple GUI. It’s great although you are still limited to the quality of crowdsourced data. Like Wikipedia, it’s remarkably good but...

Yes, I think it is plain tone control but Stereo Magazine provided the settings that they thought most closely replicated the other curves. I didn’t look to see if the PCB matches the schematic but in keeping with the hobbyist nature of this product, the user manual has the schematic (last...

Someone should get one and send it to Amir! JL Audio entered the home audio market with their car audio subwoofers and it ended up being a flagship product on the first attempt. The Alpine unit looks very well built: These are 1 GHz Griffin UL. But at least in the USA, we have this warning

The other analogy is to imagine two amplifiers Amplifier1 = 50X, up to 1000 Amplifier2 = 100X, up to 800 If your preamp outputs 2, amp1 boosts it to 100 while amp2 boosts it to 200. You actually have to turn down the volume to match the levels. But when your amplifier outputs 9, the first...
