The Seattle area has its very own music listening bar. 80,000 records available according to the Seattle Times. There is a bar for casual listening and the HiFi Room for serious listening. In the HiFi Room the shoes must come off and there is no drinking or talking. Interesting concept...

Sounds like you are complaining about a free website. Does that mean that you are willing to help? :)

Erin just published this speaker test and he recommendedd them.

Erin has just published a review of the Edifier MR3 which did very well and earned a recommendation from him. They are inexpensive and look like a good option if you want to save some $$.

The sensitivity spec on these speakers is 86dB. That is also what Amir measured. The spec for the x3400 is around 100 watts as I recall. So using the calculator below, you could run the speakers at 99dB at a distance of 10 feet. That is way too loud for most people. You can adjust the values to...

WOW. I think this post was created with ChatGPT. The prompt was "Try to find anything to criticize Amir's review of the Tekton Lore speaker. Do not include any facts or logic".

PBS has an interesting article about the Lenire treatment for tinitus that involves a device to tickle the tongue. Seems to work on 84% of the people tested. https://www.npr.org/sections/health-shots/2024/04/15/1244501055/tinnitus-hearing-loss-ringing-ear-noise

Hi Eric, I looked at all of your posted replies and I didn't see any description how you think Amir should have measured your speaker. I must have missed it. Could you explain your position in more detail please?

An objective audiophile walks into a bar with a box. He meets his subjective audiophile friend. His subjective friend asks "what's in the box". The objective friend says "Speakers. If you can tell me how many are in the box, I will give you both of them". The subjective friend guesses three or...

Two audiophiles walk into a bar and up to the female bartender. The first audiophile says "I'd like a spinoroma please". The bartender says "I get off at 10". The audiophile says "thanks but I need to listen to my new speakers tonight".

Maybe @Flak could chime in? He works for Dirac and has been helpful before.

There are 2 on the spinorama.org site. Pierre has done a amazing job compiling data on a large number of speakers! https://www.spinorama.org/eqs.html?sort=date&reverse=false&search=jbl Scroll down to the A130

Why does my music sound better when I increase the volume? What dB level should I play my music for the best fidelity? What is the best way to audition new speakers at a showroom? Can I just buy speakers using measurements for comparison? What are the advantages and disadvantages of using a...

I just saw on the internet that some random guy recommended Crazy Glue on the lips to stop snoring. And then he said Measurements Don't Matter.....

Here is a link to an online calculator that will tell you how loud (in dB) the music will be based on speaker sensitivity and amplifier output. It also shows the relative loudness of various environments. At a normal listening distances you should be fine...

I have the x3500h also and use the Audyssey MultEQ Editor app and it works very well for me. It costs $20 from Google or Apple and gives you much more control than standard Audyssey. I'd recommend trying it before you buy more hardware...

I use EQAPO with the Peace front end and find the combination fairly user friendly, so I would recommend downloading both. They are both free and accept the EQ file you can create using REW. Here are the links: https://sourceforge.net/projects/equalizerapo/...

You can use a calculator to determine how loud the Elac speakers will play at various distances with different amplifiers. The majority of people are satisfied with 95 dB at the listening position. http://www.hometheaterengineering.com/splcalculator.html

Just saw that Crutchfield is selling the Elac DBR-62 for $525 now. Best price I've seen... https://www.crutchfield.com/p_970DBR62BK/ELAC-Debut-Reference-DBR62-Walnut.html

Point taken. I guess results implied data....
