    Sorround Speakers

    Hi, Looking for some opinions here. I am dipping my toes in the Dolby Atmos waters after hearing a friend's system. Don't want to invest too much into it, until I am convinced it is worth spending a lot more on surround and height speakers. I have two good Front speakers, so only need...

    Does it make sense to keep this Sub ?

    I recently bought a JBL Stage A120P subwoofer. Today, I measured the output of the sub by itself, and the speakers without the sub. Both measurements were done at the same SPL level, with the sub set to medium gain. The sub (blue line) provides some SPL at ~55Hz, but drops off quite sharply...

    Closed: KEF R3 Walnut color: No loner for sale…

    This breaks my heart a bit. I have been constantly on the move for the past 2 years, and carrying these speakers around is not ideal. So I have decided to sell my entire system, and rely on small portable speakers till I can find more of a permanent place. The combination sounds excellent...

Noise and other signal errors endemic to multi-function computers not designed primarily for music playback can affect how music sounds.” Read the article...
