    Do high-efficiency speakers really have better 'dynamics'?

    Higher sensitivity speakers sometimes have rolled off bass and elevated treble. If you applied this kind of EQ to a song, it would increase the DR score.

    $30K Budget - On the quest for my "end game" speaker

    Speakers don’t make much difference imo. Find the dispersion style and output capability you want, filter by speakers that measure decently, and pick the one that looks the best in your room.

    Revel F228BE for 10’x 14’x 8,66’ Room

    Too much bass for a room is a myth. In practice, most problems are in 100-200hz region. Too big of a speaker is a thing though. Either wide driver spacing or tweeters that are too high. It can limit your placement options. The next steps are for you to take measurements with Room EQ Wizard.

    Which speakers gave you the *wow* factor?

    I was blown away by Infinity P362. They were the first speakers I purchased. Past experience was just earbuds and economy car audio. I haven't been wow'd by any speaker since. It's only minor improvements. I've demoed the following: Kii Three Dutch 8C Revel F226Be Genelec 8351A Martin Logan...

    Help building a lasting ~$10k system with apartment limitations

    If it were my money, I would consider LS50 Meta. No need to spend so much in a room that is far from ideal. Integrated amp with room mode correction and subwoofer management can help, but no guarantees with constraints on where things can be placed. Main weakness of LS50 is output capability...

    Suggestions for mixed use surround sound system?

    Both subwoofers rattled. It was B-stock. Probably a customer return that they never tested.

    How to compensate for center speaker that isn’t ear level?

    My understanding is that we mainly perceive change in height of a sound source as tonal shift. If a center speaker must be placed below ear level, is there any way to calculate a compensation EQ?
