References available on real life room "tuning"?
I don't know about that. Due to room constraints, my head has been against the back wall for over 15 years and I get great bass reproduction. Tight, taut, and tuneful. Could it be that I also listen in the near field?Sounds like something else is ...

Tonian Labs TL-D1s. They come on strong at low volumes. If your upstream equipment is resolving enough it will unravel the music beautifully.Tone, timbre and highs are there in spades: Make sure to properly seat them onto something good as there i...
