    Carver Amazing Platinum Mark ii

    Had a pair of Silver Editions way, way back when. Still have the ribbons sitting in a closet, but the rest of the speakers are no more. :(

    To monoblock or not to monoblock

    I bought Class-D monoblocks for my mains because I wanted them and a couple bridged Class-D of lesser quality for my subwoofers. I could have saved a few bucks, but I've wanted monoblocks for decades. This scratched that itch without being obscene (I mean, this could be a PG-13 movie). There are...

    KEF LS50 Meta vs KEF R3

    R3 or meta LS50? What a dilemma! Seriously, either of these are good choices and I doubt one would be disappointed with either. One is not better than the other, they are just different. Only you can answer which will be the best pick for your situation and your room. Find a dealer that will let...

    Room help: measuring and treating a vaulted ceiling room

    Instead of hanging anything off the ceiling beams, build a cloud on top of them. Plenty of depth for mineral wool plus an air gap. Or you can incorporate the ceiling beams as a frame for a cloud.

    Help me monitoring for my new studio! :-)

    Those vaulted ceilings are a perfect place for hanging room treatments. Build a frame, stuff about 7" to 8" of insulation in it, hang it 4" from the ceiling, and you'll have a cloud able to absorb some lower frequencies. Run some LED lighting through it and above it, and it'll add some nice...

    Paradigm Prestige 15B Review (bookshelf speaker)

    I have the Prestige 15B and the KEF R3s. The KEFs are in my listening room and the Paradigms were moved into the bedroom. The Paradigms look great and are good enough for background music while reading a book before going to sleep. When they were my main speakers in my listening room, a miniDSP...

    First time trying to fix a room, all tips welcome

    Before investing in room treatment, I would experiment with which wall the speakers were placed against and the listening position. Your room is not a perfect rectangle. You have a large chunk of immovable furniture at the first reflection point in the current setup. Try placing the speakers...

    SOLD!!!: Revel F226be, like new (2 weeks old)SOLD!!!

    I appreciate the effort of folks trying to troubleshoot your room issues. Myself, I'm trying to figure out how I can come up with a decent offer and take 'em off your hands. By the time Congress gets any kind of stimulus package passed, these beauties will have already found a new home.

    My first youtube interview... I am famous now!!!

    I thoroughly enjoyed the interview. I wasn't able to watch it all in one go and had to break it up into several viewings. For me, that wasn't a problem at all (timestamps helped). Amir was a great guest. He is the type of person that makes the job of being an interviewer so much easier. I'm...

    Upgrading Speakers / From Klipsch RP600M to?

    That is what I started with and it worked fine. Later, I updated that with Dirac and then finally moved to a SHD. I think you're on the right track.

    Upgrading Speakers / From Klipsch RP600M to?

    Try the EQ first. It is free after all! If it is still not to your liking, sell them and try something else. Also, this would be a great time to get some data on your room response which you can compare with the next set of speakers you get.

    March Audio Sointuva Speaker

    Give me a year to recover from the awesome March 451 amps I bought (love them!) or pray for a good tax return & stimulus check and these too will be mine. I do expect a Koala stuffed bear with my pair...

    How much can you judge a speaker from a YouTube video?

    You can tell which one looks better to you.
