    Help with room treatment! Also new ARC calibration!

    Thanks for the reply. What if I pulled the speakers forward where they are so they aren't buried in that hole so much? I will try the clapping technique tonight. I have seen worse room setups than this, with couches covering the speakers etc, I didn't think the position was that bad. I just...

    Help with room treatment! Also new ARC calibration!

    Hi there everyone, long time no talk! I recently moved and have my listening setup in the large, open basement. It is nice because I can listen as loud as I want, only problem is I am noticing some harsh brightness from my system. It is fatiguing after a good 45 minutes of listening. I feel...

    Is it just me or...

    ARC is an amazing piece of kit. They spent a lot of time and money researching it. I know for my partially treated room (still in progress), the before and after was very impressive.

    Mmmm; wet labels and microscratches. I also quite enjoy the table is extremely unlevel.

    A Fun Time on a Saturday Night!

    Sounds like a good time! I love those Focal bookshelves. Coming from a Focal junkie of course.. :p

    Underpowered speakers

    Agreed, on extreme spectrums of course. But for typical applications, underpowering is more dangerous. Would I ever hookup a little Onkyo or Yamaha AVR to my $11,000 Focals and turn it up really loud like I do a fair bit? Not a chance. Do I feed said Focals with an amp with a conservatively...

    Underpowered speakers

    Underpowering is more dangerous than overpowering.

    American audio industry may suffer a blow..

    Dual citizen, Canadian and British; also well traveled. Take your pick where I live now, either way he has insulted us. As I said in an earlier post, he is bullying people thinking they won't retaliate. It's like spin the bottle, wherever it points, he chooses to bully them next. How about...

    American audio industry may suffer a blow..

    I can assure you, this isn't fake news. It might be hard to peer through the looking glass when you're on the inside. Go live in a few different countries and see what's really happening on the outside looking in. There is some fake news, maybe even a great deal, but doesn't work the other way...

    How to add low-end after Anthem ARC calibration

    I'm not sure what the controls look like on the MRX, but on my Anthem STR, after I did the ARC correction, I was able to adjust high mid and low. I would recommend option 1, it worked fine for me. I do not have a sub, there is a sub option, but there is also a bass option that did jack up the...

    American audio industry may suffer a blow..

    Like others have said; the trade war is a joke. He thinks he can bully everyone and they will just bend over and accept it. Think the businesses are going to eat the increased cost of goods due to these BS tariffs? Not a f-----g chance, it gets passed on to the consumer. Many people are...

    I hate treble... so much.

    Agreed. While I don't like "flat" recordings either, there is a happy balance between too much and too little treble. I can't stand overly forthcoming, agitating high end. So; this is your theme song then good sir?

    Never. Insurance is a scam. ;)

    optical vs stereo vs HDMI out

    Optical has a huge advantage in heavily RFI-infested environments such as today's average home, in that it is entirely immune to any interference. Whereas a standard HDMI transmission, which uses shielded copper wires, can potentially have its data corrupt by EMF RFI. This is especially true on...

    optical vs stereo vs HDMI out

    I don't bite; hard. It's possible. I had my 5.1 hooked up to my Denon AVR via HDMI, it was brutal in comparison to Toslink. I am not talking a .5% golden ear difference, I am talking night and day. Maybe something is buggered in the HDMI decoding of the sound in the Denon? I know I am not the...
