    General Consensus On Subs In HiFi

    In my case (two active Velodyne SPL 800 subs) is best position like following: each closer to the main speaker, better and more coherent is the sound. From my experience, I have tried 4-5 different subs at home, till I found the matching one. There were quite big differences in sound quality...

    Name one product that should be included in your HiFi setup?

    In my case, "collection" of my Rega turntables and CD player from Audia Flight, which sounds like .... analogue, stress free. 😃

    Bookshelf Speakers - When to add a Sub?

    Hi, I think there is a lot of subjectivity in this topic. For me, speakers with output above 40Hz (+/- 3Hz) do not need subwoofer. Probably except when you listen organ music or grand piano. Than you will be thankful for the sub. More important I think is how do you feel reproduced music from...

    Question Substantial upgrade or just swap the amp??

    Hi, I think you have nice balanced system. I am also fan of old Audilab amps and Mission speakers (they used french Audax tweeters, midbas etc. so sounded very good). Focal is in different league (Champion's League) very demanding speakers and showing shortcommings. Aria 926 will need amp...

    Wishful thinking, If I had £5k to spend on HiFi, what will be first on my list?

    I like the idea of 5K£, which is nearly 6K€ on our continent. With this money, I will search for better speakers. Something like used Focal Kanta 3 or Triangle Cello 40 or Acoustic Energy Corinum. Most difficult will be to hide this activity, not to be discovered by my wife...😉.

    This is "biamp system" used by Technics and Panasonic minisystems of its time. Also my big boombox Panasonic RX CT980 (What a great machine...) has used biamp system with separate amp for bass and treble sections. Using 4 wires as must. Technics has had quite good electronics that time, their...

    Other turntable manufacturers

    Hi, you have opened very fine thread related to turntables. I used in the past some Tesla Litovel (Czech made) turntables, today they make Projects and EAT tables there (very good ones). From 1999, I use only Rega turntables, several models but mainly Planar 25 and Planar 9, 2nd gen. From my...

    Speaker help.

    Hi, I just looked into manual for Technics minisystem, which was sold with your speakers. This system has specific biamplification concept, with separate amp for bass (higher power) and for treeble (lower power). Here four wires have specific reason and purpose. It will the best to pair these...

    £1000 speaker choice

    Hi, if you like sound signature of your Fyne F 302i, than new F501-e are the right choice for you. Brio will be happy with speakers with higher sensitivity, especialy in a big room like you have. Speakers like Triangle Borea 07 will be also very good combination. I use my Brio Mk6 with czech...

In certain situations and systems it works...
