| Krell KSA100 vs Threshold 400A vs McCormack DNA 0.5 @legarem There are some good recommendations on here and I agree that they don't all meet your taste. The AR 100.2 is a solid performer, natural sounding amp, it may be a bit more detailed than you want, but this is a nice sounding amp. What I ... | |

| Who said “ flat freq response “ is the best? @geoffkait For everyone, geoff is accurate, speakers publish their spec's with a frequency response and a variance within that response. Exceptionally flat speakers are normally rated Plus or Minus 1 db. Anything that is typically more that plu... | |
| Do Bigger Speakers Mean a Bigger Window? @cd318 The bandwidth attribute that you are describing now comes from low frequency extension, other than that, a smaller speaker should be able to reproduce a frequency curve as well as a large speaker. There is something to be said for larger d... | |
| Do Bigger Speakers Mean a Bigger Window? By bigger window, I assume that you mean soundstage? If that is the case, no, bigger speakers can do a lot, but typically the soundstage is a function of how the speakers are set in the room. Spacing apart, distance from ear etc. If a smaller ... | |
| Velodyne HGS12-repair or replace? I've had the same HGS-12 sub. I was very surprised that with careful placement I was able to get excellent performance out of it. You may consider looking around at replacing the plate amp with an aftermarket. I've not heard the REL's (great rep... | |

| adding center speaker to existing stereo system Just picked up on this thread. I'm was a Jim Bongiorno fan before his passing. He tackled this deeper than anyone else that I've seen. This is a terrific item, take a look. https://www.sst.audio/new-products/trinaural-processor | |
| Who said “ flat freq response “ is the best? @douglas_schroeder Hi Doug, although I do agree that there are several speakers that are nice to listen to that don’t necessarily come close to that ruler flat acoustical challenge. I have to disagree on the idea that seeking and building toward t... | |
| Who said “ flat freq response “ is the best? There are a few subjects being discussed here: Flat response from Equipment and speakersFlat In room response. If you think about it, when the recording is done, are they done in perfect rooms? Carnegie Hall, Studios, Restaurants, Church's. E... | |
| Can someone explain to me why : Accupahse Equipment is that expensive ? This might not do it for you, but I've read a few threads that these Chinese knock offs are surprisingly good: https://www.ebay.com/itm/HiFi-Integrated-Power-Amplifier-Pure-Class-A-20W-Class-AB-200W/263735848188... | |

| Awesome customer service from Simply Speakers Ha, LOL, Well thanks John. Actually I was purchasing tweeters, another set was being pushed on me, since being pushed, I asked for a discount. He hung up on me. When I called back, the employee was very apologetic and told me that it was the owner... | |
| Awesome customer service from Simply Speakers I’ve visited their site many times. Its nice that they have JBL, Electrovoice and ESS parts, but when I look at the quality and selection outside of that, I’ve been disappointed. They do have assembled crossovers, but at their quality level, they ... |
