    News Pioneer releases a new, decently priced loudspeaker The VM 80

    hm let me see, says 36khz of range with 3khz cross over, the sound is decent and it's inexpensive. So yeah it's in hi-fi.. Some of you are awfully snooty about appearances. I bought a couple of these for my garage recently.

    News Pioneer releases a new, decently priced loudspeaker The VM 80

    8" main driver, good frequency response across the range. Specs are comparable to the Adam audio units i like that are priced much higher. 289 USD per speaker.

    Speakers 4 feet apart - Is it worth the investment

    Your experiences may vary, I like the sound coming from a good set of studio monitors. They can provide a good listening experience for someone with limited space, particularly when paired with a subwoofer but to each their own.

    Question What's your next HiFi purchase?

    I decided to add a Schitt dedicated headphone amp since my DAC doesn't boost enough.

    Connecting ACTIVE speakers with no Sub out to an ACTIVE Subwoofer

    You are better off either routing all of this through an AV box/processor or getting a powered sub with outputs for satellites.

    Question What's your next HiFi purchase?

    My next major AV purchase? Either a unique variant of the Marantz AV7706 11.2 surround with XLR jacks, or a pair of these A77X from Adam Audio: I have headphones I am happy with, now it's time to make the rest of the audio space happy also.

    Speakers 4 feet apart - Is it worth the investment

    I don't know the answer to that, Arturia or a vendor like sweet water should be able to answer it. Seems like it should be possible.

    30 + years in the making

    Kef ls50 meta wireless question

    Based on my own reading on this, at the very least you'd need a local wifi connection with a compatible streaming service (airplay, roon or whatever) to get multiple speakers all streaming, otherwise if it were one or two speaker then it's likely you'd only have to direct connect to it with a...

    Speakers 4 feet apart - Is it worth the investment

    Focal, Yamaha, and Adam audio are good mid-high tier options for near and midfield audio imaging which is what you are proposing. Adam and Focal are among the top tier of speaker providers in my opinion where studio monitors are concerned. Particularly if you wanted studio monitors/shelf...
