Well that article is certainly an exercise in Search Engine Optimisation.

Yup - I used the original Mojo as a home device that happened to be used if I wanted to listen on the move e.g. flights.

Well, as someone who has heard the LSXIIs, they certainly don't embarrass themselves in a mid-to-large room. It's impressive how far Hoffman's Iron Law can be bent with a good acoustic platform supplemented with DSP. But that's based on my expectations. YMMV.

Sold a fair few of those SW150s and TXNR8050s back in the before times, in the long, long ago. What you could do is something like the MiniDSP 2x4HD. This is an active crossover which you would place in the signal path before the AVIs. It has enough outputs to add a subwoofer coming out of it...

Wireworld have an inexpensive flat speaker cable called Horizon, that should run very nicely under carpet.

Your analogy doesn't work at all. Subwoofer signals are almost always mono in nature, even in stereo sub situations, as low bass is almost always mixed down to mono, whereas in an AVR, you have wildly different signals going to each individual bed channel. But even then, quarter wave and...

You say you're not arguing with that... and then you do. Which is it? When you double the number of powered subwoofers, you are doubling the amplification. If you double the drivers without doubling the system wattage, you are dividing the wattage between the additional units, which is why you...

You would be half right if we were only talking about doubling either cone area or system power, but his is a discussion on powered subwoofers. When you double them, you are doubling both cone area for +3dB, and doubling system power for +3dB, giving a +6dB when following quarter wave...

And you are absolutely correct. When a second powered sub is added, of which all subs mentioned in here so far have been, both cone area and power is doubled for all frequencies falling under quarter wave theory in respect to distance between subs. If you have three of them, that's an extra...

You may not actually need a step-down transformer for the import one. The manual states the following under power supplies: For USA/Canada: AC 120V / 60Hz For UK and Australia: AC 240V / 50Hz For Continental Europe: AC 220 V / 50Hz For Others: AC 110-127V / 220-240V 50/60Hz Suggests to me that...

This setup will be absolutely spot on for Spotify Lossless via Spotify Connect. AirPlay has got nothing to do with it. Spotify Connect streams the audio directly from their server to the playback device, which would be the WiiM in this situation. And Spotify presents the info just fine - it is...

Power cycling was my experience with my LS60s.

Ignore him. He seems to have a bee in his bonnet and have to interject his opinion on subwoofers in two channel systems without actually addressing the pertinent question. It's tiresome. Anyways, as I don't believe there is any subwoofer bass management going on here, you could pick up a...

The writer also states that vinyl is only shipped once. Patently untrue, as that would mean direct from warehouse shipping to the customer. Sure, may happen every now and again, but I can think of a number of additional potential shipments, even if the pressing factory is in-country.

In exactly the same way as most people have their subwoofers setup - using only the low pass filter on the subwoofer to take over from the main speakers based on the natural in-room roll-off of the main speakers. It's the same basic principle, you just don't have the luxury (and benefits) of...
