    Is h-fi cheap or expensive

    In general I consider the cost of reproducing sound to be cheap and the experience of live music to be expensive.

    Buckeye Amps: New US based Hypex multichannel amplifier builder, line-up announcement!

    Dylan, Thank you and your supplier for again extending the optional colors to the smallest enclosures available. Every day I enjoy looking at my Buckeye Amp NC502MP in its enclosure with (now discontinued) anodized finishes of 'clear aluminum' over 'bronze'. I consider the cost of creating a...

    Pioneer VSX-LX505 AVR Review

    Spot on with 'simplicity'. It took a few weeks of trial and error to integrate a subwoofer and program parameters for select sources. Since then, the '505' just works. I had been using my '505' as a preamp - using some of the 7 channels of the analog multi-channel inputs of a 50 pound Onkyo...

    3.0 HT Amp

    If you can fit an AVR..... With no need for a subwoofer, consider a Pioneer VSX-LX305 or Onkyo TX-NR7100 AVR. Each comes with a license for Dirac Live to offer room correction tailored to your loudspeakers and listening space. They will be supported until the end of their warranty period. A...

    Pioneer VSX-LX505 AVR Review

    Agreed. Earlier in 2024, PAC used Adorama in NYC to sell the '505' for as little as $649. The inclusion of a Dirac Live license at that price incentivized me to revive a 4.1 setup for home theater use.

    It is my understanding the output of a WiiM Pro (Plus) streamer can be set to Mono

    dayton b65 - the $70 6.5" sealed bookshelf

    Agreed. Now that no one appears to be licensing the Pioneer brand for home audio, Dayton could expend even less effort and arrange to revive the Pioneer SP-B22-LR Bookshelf loudspeaker and sell it exclusively.

    Yellow cones ...

    My Polk ES60's are wrapped in vinyl meant to look like Walnut. The appearance looks more luxurious than competitive floor-standing loudspeakers wrapped in a matte black vinyl. It would not be mistaken for real wood veneer by a woodworking hobbyist.

    Focal appears to have offered select floor-standing loudspeakers with drivers in shades other than black and of a lighter color too. Perhaps a new or used pair can be had that fits your budget. The 'Noyer' (walnut vinyl) variant of the Focal Aria 926 floor-standing loudspeaker uses drivers in...

    Center speaker 37° lower than main left/right. Will it be better if LCR same level?

    Option A I had a similar situation in a 'narrow' listening space for home theater and ended up preferring a 'phantom center channel' to a dedicated center channel loudspeaker situated below my Front L/R loudspeakers.
