Sure, I agree. But I bet you're not expecting miracles from a tiny subwoofer, either.... -
Supply and demand yes, but to some degree people do also get used to paying more. In time someone will lower their prices and try to grab up the market,...Leave a comment:

Be practical about your expectations. Bragging rights aside, music doesn't usually have much below 40Hz, and in the normal listening room you'll get cabin...Leave a comment:

I measure to get close to what I know I typically like, then tweak from there. I use reasonably flat reference headphones (AKG K601) as a comparison to... -
That's why I never taught them to read. It can only end in trouble. -
The science can only get you so far, to maybe 90%. Past there the final voicing is kind of an art form. -
Flat at the listening position will be unbearably bright. I start with more or less flat in gated measurements, and adjust until I get the tonal balance...Last edited by fpitas; 01-10-2022, 12:44 PM.Leave a comment:
