    Any opinions on Genelec 8341a vs March Audio Sointuva?

    Thanks for the reply. I tend to play quite low volume so I should be ok regarding that. I'm hoping I can listen to them in a couple of weeks.

    Any opinions on Genelec 8341a vs March Audio Sointuva?

    , My intention was to get opinions of the Genelec versus my current setup, in hindsight I could have left out the further details. Alan has been great to be honest, I think I've just been extremely unlucky. At the end of the day I just want a working Audio system again, and having a backup...

    Any opinions on Genelec 8341a vs March Audio Sointuva?

    Unfortunately I've had some problems with speakers cracking and amps having failures. I'm waiting to hear back about a replacement pair of speakers (now using painted mdf as humidity swings in my building may be the cause of the wood splitting both times before. I had issues with my first amp...

    Any opinions on Genelec 8341a vs March Audio Sointuva?

    I've been having a few issues with my March Audio setup - currently miniDSP Flex HTx -> March Audio P482 -> March Audio Sointuva. I'm using the miniDSP so I have HDMI arc volume control from my TV. My issues with the March Audio components have made me look into alternatives and I've been...

    MiniDSP Flex HTx

    Unfortunately no matter what output is selected, the TV automatically switches back to HDMI Arc when changing channels or switching to different set top boxes, or turning the tv off and on again.

    MiniDSP Flex HTx

    So the unit arrived a lot quicker than expected and overall I'm happy with the device, however I have a big issue with HDMI and hoping someone here may have an answer as trying things I've found searching Google haven't worked... Basically I want to use HDMI CEC for volume control of the Flex...

    MiniDSP Flex HTx

    I ordered one today. If it works as needed I can sell the RME dac which covers the cost of it.

    MiniDSP Flex HTx

    Thanks everyone, that's really useful RE center channel and may save me a fair few pennies. I had just always assumed that most mixed put the dialogue mainly in the center channel and that getting one would make dialogue clearer in movies where it seems to be quite verses everything else. The...

    MiniDSP Flex HTx

    Getting a center channel would mainly be for making dialogue more audible. In certain Netflix shows or movies. Turning on apple tv 4k option to disable loud noises helps somewhat but don't feel like it's the best solution. Basically we have the issue where we need to turn up the volume just to...

    MiniDSP Flex HTx

    I've been looking for a Dac with good measurements that also has HDMI arc with volume control. It seems like this could be for me. A couple of quick questions... I currently have an RME Adi2 fs dac, I assume using the Flex HTx as a replacement should not mean any loss in sound quality versus...

    Power Amp Disappointment

    I never had the chance to hear the Teac, really poor customer service in Japan in that respect... Audio quality wise, March Audio has become my 'end game' for almost everything now.

    Speaker stand advice request

    Belated updated: because of significant delays due to the Atacama stands being in back-order, I decided to get Solidsteel SS stands instead. They were more expensive, but glad I went with these for aesthetic reasons (understand they might not be to everyone's taste). I filled them (although not...

    March Audio Sointuva

    Thanks for the great advice, and glad your dog seem fine with the music now :) Yes, I think it's the loud noise from the speaker calibration. He was bothered by the pink noise, and got worse when I increased the volume. When I did the sweeps he got even worse. It was just hard for me to tell...

    March Audio Sointuva

    It's a Mame Shiba, small version of a Shiba Inu. He has regular checkups and is in good health, but he also has a full health check in the next couple of weeks and I'll bring up the speakers to the vet if he is still acting up about it.

    March Audio Sointuva

    So I spent all day in the other room. As soon as I walked into the room with my dog he already started acting like I was going to make some bad noises happen! I put some music through the speakers and he started circle pacing again and trembling - so he's probably associated the speakers with...

    March Audio Sointuva

    Nice :) I'm sure my dog would get used to it over time, he is a bit of a wimp though and scares very easily! March Audio very kindly helped me figure out where I went wrong with my MMM measurement attempt. I can probably get it up and running fairly quickly, so tempted to ask my wife to take my...

    March Audio Sointuva

    Cute! Thanks, I will keep an eye on him, but so far the behavior seems to correlate with when I take the measurements. At first I thought it was because he recently came back from the pet hotel, but he starting behaving normally again before I ran this latest test. So far today he's his usual...

    March Audio Sointuva

    That may be the case if he volume isn't crazy high - the volume I'm using for measurements is louder than anything my dog would have experienced in the apartment by a long way.

    March Audio Sointuva

    He's probably unsure of the speakers now because of the measurements, I'll have to see how he reacts when I just play music through them now. Before I did the measurements I played music for 2-3 hours and he slept through most of it and seemed fine when he was awake.

    March Audio Sointuva

    Agree! I had no idea it would freak him out so much.
