    Help choosing the right speakers

    Thought twice about posting this part, but what the heck :D If your source chain is all digital, then the easiest and quickest fix will be to measure your room with a Umik microphone and REW software on your PC, to locate the offending frequency which is booming. Then get a Dac like a RME ADI...

    Help choosing the right speakers

    That is a lovely looking room and system. I've struggled with various big speakers in a small room for more than a decade. And I've tried different things to tame the bass, and many of which as mentioned below, have worked for me : 1. Please try to analyze if you have a boom on certain tracks...

    Question Buying my first Hi-Fi system - please help me decide from a shortlist.

    While 2.5K is a very healthy budget to have, I would suggest to start slow. Extremely minimum allocation for the digital sources - they are improving significantly with every passing year, adding more flexibility and SQ in the bargain. I have a few friends who have tried the fosi and Aiyima...

    Small Subwoofer for Enhanced Bass Experience in Small Room ?

    I use a smallish qacoustics 3070 or something sub. Only has a 8 inch driver that fires against a plate to distribute the bass better. Best part is its wall mountable to save floor space. And its really fast and musical.

    B&W 606/607 sucks, not worth 5 stars

    I've heard a few B&W's sir...and they didn't come across as bright at all. It is either the room, or the chain or amplification at fault here in my books :) P.S : one of my friends just got the B&W 802 D3, coupled with the " in fashion at the moment amplification ", a kinki studio. I found the...

    Small vs Big Speakers for a 315 square feet living room, in an apartment?

    By any chance spartacus, did your father have a listen to the oberion 5's and liked them. However, if that hasn't been done, I would advise to also add the qacoustics concept 40's into the audtion list. When i was upgrading from qacoustics q7000i home theater package in 2013. I had auditioned...

    Small vs Big Speakers for a 315 square feet living room, in an apartment?

    Now that we know that you are using a pioneer AVR. I wouldnt recommend the klipsch speakers . Klipsch speakers though of high efficiency can easily be provoked into sounding bright. And the pioneer lsx51 that I've heard at my friends place, definitely sounded brighter to my ears, than my...

    Small vs Big Speakers for a 315 square feet living room, in an apartment?

    Hi :) 1. I would recommend floor standers as they have the same foot print as bookshelves, once we factor in the stands. 2. Floor standers are usually more efficient and easier to drive. 3. They have a larger scale for the same volume, so as with bookshelves we don't need very high volumes to...

    New gear exciting times ahead.

    I cant bet I will pass the blind test. I've never bothered to, to be honest. It is still early days for me to get into exotic cables. Maybe once my system is settled, then maybe, just maybe I will them a try out of curiosity. I do find that analogue interconnects and speaker cables have...

    mains cables

    Hello sir :) I would advocate trying these snake oil cables for yourselves before dismissing them entirely. Some of the ears i most trust have reported immense gains by using these very snake oil cables. I run my system on power generators, so I don't need any filterance within the power...
