    A new Salk 3-way speaker

    Looks very nice but I hope that woofer can handle the bass without bottoming out. I would have liked to see dual bass drivers to help the load a bit but the price would probably go up too.

    YouTube Audio Quality

    Room Reflections & Human Adaptation for Small Room Acoustics

    Room Reflections & Human Adaptation for Small Room Acoustics

    Floyd; What about the trend I'm seeing now where most "blockbuster" films these days deploy the same CGI effects and NON STOP boom of bass? The latest Batman v Superman movie is a prime example of a movie that is NOT only being played back too loudly but also with too much bass. I complained...

    Feeling lied to and mislead what do I actually need for my set up.

    Audyssey is likely your problem. Don't use it! Unless you can measure before/after, you don't really know what it's doing to the bass. Turn off EQ for ALL modes (make sure you do it for 2CH Pure Direct as well). Then re-evaluate your situation. You don't want an amp to clip when driving...

    Feeling lied to and mislead what do I actually need for my set up.

    If I can chime in here on a few things: 1. Make sure your speakers are set to LARGE in the bass management 2. If you're not using a separate powered sub connected to the sub out via RCA connection, then set the sub to "No" or "off". This will route the LFE and summed bass to your main front...

    RBH Sound SI-1010P In-floor or In-Ceiling Subwoofer Review

    The SI-1010 is one of only a few subwoofers that fill a niche in the market, consumers who want powerful bass but won't accept even the smallest subwoofer. As opposed to sitting in the room, it’s hidden in the floor or ceiling and sound passes through a discrete air vent cover. From an...

    Spyro Gyra: Morning Dance (1979) LP Review

    Morning Dance was the breakout recording for Spyro Gyra, and my favorite release (followed closely by Catching The Sun) of the 1970's. Spyro Gyra (and co-founder/composer Jay Beckenstein), will forever be associated with the title track from this album. This wildly successful follow-up to their...

    Room Reflections & Human Adaptation for Small Room Acoustics

    Dealing with acoustics in small rooms is no trivial matter. The quest for the “perfect” room all depends on your expectations, why you are listening (business or pleasure), what program you are listening to, and the condition of the ears you are listening through. This article focuses on the...
