Still remember being impressed by the Amiga demo ...

I won't take advice from this guy. :p

... and Stormaudio. Similar price and with ART. It's really impressive from what I've seen, but not "14.000 Euro and additional amplifiers necessary"-impressive (for me).

"Hello, I'm a BAACH's witness and would like to talk to you about XTC." "No, no, not TLC!" "No, no, not the band."

That's just wrong. Typical crossover frequency is somewhere between 60 and 100 Hz. If the subwoofer has enough "oomph" support the main speakers at the desired volume there is no need to worry. If you then use more than one subwoofer and also a calibration that takes this circumstance into...

I live in a new building (concrete) and I've never noticed that the neighbors are even there. Unless the children are playing in the garden and a window is open.... So far, the neighbor above me asked me once kindly whether I might be using a subwoofer, which I then confirmed.:cool: Around 30...

Whether it makes sense to tax real estate can certainly be debated. In Germany there was once a wealth tax (until 1997) and the property tax is comparatively low. During the recent property tax reform all properties were revalued. In some cases there were significant increases, when I received...

Exactly my thoughts! Although not as disturbing as H.R. Giger's art, but still far from beautiful. From a technical point of view, it is also limited by the fact that it is a passive loudspeaker (certainly due to the target group and the possibility of being able to sell additional equipment).

Reminds me of a Volkswagen Polo which was made available to me for a business trip. The navigation system's screen jerked so much in a roundabout that I circled it once before exiting to make sure I was on the right exit. Chips that were considered average a decade ago are built into cheap...

When I explained that in the case of a tax-free import from a third country in the USA the sales tax has to be declared and paid, he didn't respond to it at all, but instead switched to the subject of tariffs. Internationally, at least between most states with tax agreements, most of the time...

Maybe interesting to some who are also into simracing ... Sebastian Job's story: Following videos of the series: Part 2 Part 3 Part 4 Obviously he is not the first to transation from sim to real racing. But even the engineer and professional racing driver seemed almost shocked by his...

Hifiman Arya Organic Ordered the HD800S but received a thrashed packaging so did not use it much before returning the order. However, the FR of the Arya is more to my liking out of the box, it also has good spatial separation. Using the ADI2-DAC's loudness-function I can have it on (my small...

You're winning the numbers game, that's for sure ... If only cramming speakers into every available spot would equate to better sound.

After the last speaker replacement, recalibrating with Dirac frustrated me so much that I gave up. However, there is a new firmware version for the Denon X3800h as well as new Dirac beta software (3.12). With this combination there were no measurement problems at all. So maybe give it a try ...

I've decided to lose some weight in the new year. You just have to stay disciplined and it will work. :p

Reminds me of "Funeral For A Friend - Casually Dressed & Deep In Conversation":

Realistically speaking, it is these and the numerous soundbars that keep the ATMOS train moving, and not the sales of AV receivers. But as long as this leads to Bluray discs continuing to be produced and Apple pushing ATMOS as the standard for new music, I'm totally fine with it.

In my opinion, the problem is that these days they slap an ATMOS logo on all products and then people assume that they will magically experience the best possible sound. I actually wanted to buy a Sonos system after my last move because it seemed like a good compromise in terms of...

My "feel-good-volume" is around 70-80 dB depending on the genre/mood. I just measured my pair of 8331A from a distance of 1m with bass-heavy music (without subwoofer). The lowest volume where clipping occured was 92 dB. When listening to music normally, there seems to be 25-35% power reserve...
