speakers

I just received my Wiim amp Pro and after hooking everything up I unfortunately noticed three problems. 1. a very annoying buzzing sound when the HDMI cable is plugged in 2. If the HDMI is connected to my TV (Which I also use as a 3rd monitor in this setup) I suddenly have a gigantic input lag...

I'm new here but have been reading and learning a lot for a few weeks now--this place is an incredible repository of knowledge, data, and expertise, and I'm very grateful to have found it. I'm moving my LS50 Metas into a secondary listening space, which means my primary living space needs...

Hello, New to the forum (sorry if this is the wrong place to post this) and to hi-fi in general, even though I've been collecting Lp's mostly and CDs/MCs for almost 30 years now. I am looking to upgrade my system and I've searched this forum for similar posts. Altough I found a similar post...

There is not a whole lot of objective testing for in-wall speakers... and I can't be the only one with a SO that wants discrete speakers as a compromise to me spending more than $50 on something like a sound bar (she would be satisfied with just the tv speakers!). Seeing the review of the...

Hello. Im setting up a budget system for listening in my wfh office. The speakers would be at ear level, maybe one meter from me. I have a ZD3 DAC and would be getting a single ZA3 amp for this use. I had 3 sets of speakers in mind, but i dont know if they are any good for this use case. In...

Not topless as in, can't be beat, but topless as in, no treble content unless I am in a straight line from the fronts of the speakers. Off axis, even 30-40° off axis, and they sound like cotton stuffed in my ears. Is that a characteristic of 'monitors'? I bought them used at Goodwill a couple...

Update Dec 20: Still looking, thread below didn't end in a sale Looking for functionally sound pair of sierra lxs. No strong color preferences at the moment. In Seattle area if we want to avoid shipping.

When asking a certain guy if my Exposure 3010s2 will be enough to drive Focal Aria 948, I was told it won't be nearly enough as the bass will get "boomy" and not well controlled. Given the spirit of this forum, I'd like to to better understand when enough is enough, what's the math involved...

I am looking to buy a decent stereo setup for music. My kitchen/living room is a continuous long thin rectangle. Dimensions are 5m by 20m with a sloping roof across the 5m width (low end 2m, high end 4m). The whole room is stone walled and half the room is wooden floored and the other half is...

I am buying a 2 channel stereo system that consists of an integrated tube amplifier, and a streamer/dac that has no room correction, and speakers, where all these sound great together. My brother also has the exact same system and it sounds great both at the stereo shop and his house. The...

Hello dear ASR members :) I read very attentively your opinions on any subject. I have a question which is a bit difficult because speaker measurements are made in ideal environments and my case is not ideal. I have a room of about 30m2, full of books and music with bookshelves on two walls...

I've had this pair of Alesis M1 Actives for a while, but stopped using them because I just didn't like how they sounded and even using Sonarworks Sound ID couldn't save them. I wanted to see what exactly was happening with them, so I used REW to finally see what's happening under their hood. I...

Hi, I'm about to buy my first speakers. Please advise me what will sound better in my room Adam t5v or Presonus Eris Studio 5. I need them for mixing, mostly modern rock music

Hello, This dawned on me tonight and I may have shot myself in the foot. 1. I Asked my wife to help me. I asked her if she could sit in the listening chair, close her eyes and point to where she thinks the music is coming from. 2. I played Witney Houston, and Led Zeppelin ( Black Dog, Stairway...

I have a Marantz SR5013 and two rather "ineffecient" Nubert speakers 82.5db/1m@ 4Ohms. (nuBoxx B-40) For the AVR it says in the specs it can drive 185W for 2x speakers at 4Ohms, and of course less the more speakers are connected. Now, I don't have any issues with this setup currently, yet I...

I have a 3 way speaker and recently i have noticed that most the sound including vocals is coming from the mid range speaker. Tweeter is like it’s not even there. My question is so in a two way speaker does the tweeter do all the work ? I mean all the sound and vocals comes from tweeter except...
