I need help chosing new speakers, the budget is $1000, they can be active or passive with a dac/amp. They are mainly for movie and video games speakers with good soundstage are preferred. I've seen on videos that for a 1k budget, powered speakers are the best option, but i dont know if thats...

Hi everyone, some of you might have seen my replies in the Fidelia DIY kit thread about a new 3-way product Cadentia 3. I reckon it would be better to move the topic over here, put in a post specifically about it. Here is the very first prototype that went up to my Klippel NFS for the...

Hey everyone, I’ve been seeing that while most people go with active subs these days, there are still quite a few who stick with passive subwoofers. I’m really curious to learn from those of you who use them. A few things I’d love to hear about: Why passive? What made you choose a passive sub...

Hey there, audio people. I've been using a pair of Kali LP-6 for 5 years or so and I'm looking to make a roadmap of little things that I can do to improve their sound in my room. Forgive me since I'm not an expert on room correction. The challenge is that I'm working with limited space inside...

Hi, I was looking to buy a my first 2.1 system (+Wiim for EQ) but after researching for weeks, does it even make sense to buy speakers if you want a flat frequency response? Ignoring the question of what is a flat target curve, is it even possible to hit any curve below 500hz with the way room...

Some time ago I got a couple of these babies for free: The model is from the 90s, Technics SB-CH700, made in Spain of all places. They weren't expensive, even back in the day. I'm a bit concerned because of the "Act Bi-Bass Digital Response" label, since I've read that some Technics speakers...

Hey audio peeps. I'm in need of some education since I can't make sense of what's happening in my setup. I'm using a couple of DACs at the moment which are an SMSL DS100 and a UA Volt 2 interface, both USB powered, both connected to a pair of Kali LP6. I was trying to use the DS100 as my...

I recently took delivery of a new Bluetooth speaker, the Tribit Stormbox 2. The unique combination of small size, dual opposed fullrange drivers, and 9-band GEQ made it a perfect proposition for my use case: providing background music while playing beach volleyball. Here, the speaker could be...

Could someone help me in identifying the following unit with the label AN/E Alnico? Picture is attached. 1. The model - is this the LX unit? as it’s not labelled as SPx. 2. Is this a current model or when was its last production? 3. What probably is the unit worth if in pristine condition?

Hey, I know a lot of posts on here are on the topic of "review my first build plan, let me know what to change" but I think my situation is just unique enough and my mom has told me I'm special enough times that I want to post my own thread. Budget/background - I've done car audio for a few...

Looking for a speaker that’s both stylish and sounds good, nothing too crazy, just decent audio. Specs show 2.1, Bluetooth/Wi‑Fi, housing album art display—but I can’t find its measurements (FR/THD etc.). Anybody tried it? How’s it sound for mid-fi listening? MorningBlues R1: Regular price...

i have mcintosh MC7106. Should i sell it and get a new emotiva or monolith or arcam power amp or should i keep it? Please help me decide. Thank you all for your valuable inputs.

Hello, I saw a listing of mcintosh CR12 pre amp and MC 7106 on ebay for $1100. Should i consider it? Also if yes can i connect wiim streamer to the cr12 preamp? Thanks for your valuable inputs.

I'm relatively new into HiFi but I recently bought some new IEMs (MOONDROP DUSK 3) and I also have a set of speakers that I plan on upgrading, and I plan on experimenting with Closed/Open back headphones after I get a proper stack. Currently this is all at a desk setup that I stream through, so...

I have been using this forum for a while, but I don‘t know if something changed, or I‘m just stupid, but I can‘t find the sorted speaker reviews on here anymore. Have they been moved? Or the forum changed? And why is it so hard to find it in the first place… Appreciate the help Cheers

I'm intrigued by this kind of speakers. I know that there are reasons why I "shouldn't" like them, but nevertheless: Listening to the MBL 101s in a large room rank among my all-time best hifi experiences. (even though I think they have their weaknesses as well) I would like to open a thread on...

I became a music lover in the 70's. I had a kenwood quad reciever with a pair of JBL Decade 3 way speakers. GOD I miss the great sound and deep bass from the old system. I am not trying to disrespect the new stuff but since I got rid of my old equipment I have not found that same richness...
