Greetings! Long time lurker, first time poster. Do let me know if this is the wrong thread to post this. After 10 years of wonderful use, both units are now in amplifier heaven. I'm fairly competent with repair and soldering but in no way an engineer so I'm hoping anyone with expertise can...

The speaker worked before working on it. Initial problem was that the volume was cutting in and out when fiddling with the volume knob. okay, I started by also changing the filter caps as the old ones were bulging outwards and were ready to leak anytime soon. Nothing too complicated, for now...

A brief intro. The room is 13ft deep x 18ft wide (10ft high I’m guessing). I plan to stand the speakers on a cabinet shelf 16 inches tall(very low). The cabinet shelf top is not even higher than the bed mattress it’s placed in front of. But that’s the complexity of my requirement. The wife and...

My stereo system currently incorporates fairly large floor standing speakers with conventional multi box amplification. My missus, who likes the stereo has made a reasonable observation that it is visually a bit over powering for our living room. So it pains me to say that I am beginning to...

Focal just announced their first DSP-based active (Hi-Fi) speakers today. These will act as an all-in-one connected system. They so join other traditional manufacturers such as KEF, Dynaudio, Sonus Faber or DALI in that new market. Except these ones come at a fairly high price tag (I mean it ...

I have both of these available at 2.5k and im wondering which would be the better choice. I have already listened to the Rialtos and liked their sound quite a lot. Also the app functionality is great with all the different EQ options for placement and just different sound profiles. Also it has...

Hello everyone, so I tried to figure it out myself but couldn't, so here I am. My question is I have a pair of Kali LP-6 V1s and Moondrop Dawn Pro DAC, speakers are located on my 1.5 meters wide desk. I use my Moondrop either with my laptop or tablet and the dac is connected to my speakers with...

It has served me well, but I've grown tired of my current crossover. Today, I noticed that I hadn't listened to music in weeks, and when that happens I usually suspect something amiss in my rig that is keeping me away from sour. I noticed two woofers on the left channel were not really...

Hello everyone! I recently got my Hivi Swans OS-10 for my starting speakers, and now im gradually falling in the Audiophile loop-hole. I was searching first on how to connect these speakers with an active subwoofer such as the Edifier T5s, which also has crossover. It led me in thinking to...

Hi everybody! I recently started a personal and relative (temporal) investment on searching a reasonable good audio setup specific to classical music playback. Initially was oriented towards audiophile pre-amp, amp and speakers and made a travel to Madrid (capital of Spain) to listen at...

Hello, I have a pair of Neumann KH80s, and I am relatively dissatisfied with them. I would appreciate advice on whether another setup would work better for me. To be clear, the audio quality is great. The main problems I have are: - They are missing some oomph, especially in the mid-range...
