People can do whatever they want, and they should. I just dislike the bragging about number of subs, as if the only way to prove one is really into this hobby is to have 10x the sub output potential than remotely necessary. I think it leads to confused newbies wasting money and becoming...

Best of all the comic book based movies!!!!

When Dolby first introduced this format on the world, it supported discreet height channels - as many add the industry would accept. As such, I imagine it is discreet channels in the home ATMOS format.

Could I get the respect of my enthusiast friends if I build thirty-two 4-inch subs and wire them in parallel to get a 7.32.4 system? Is eight "okay" subwoofers better than 2 state of the art subwoofers?

So, why not just make any number up? It could be 7.4.4 or 7.8.4. What's the point?

Since I've abandoned surround sound in my own home, I am no longer paying close attention to the technology being released for surround sound. I am lucky to know enough people in my area to get to demo the tech, but I avoid long technical discussions with them since most have no idea what they...

This is evidence to support my argument that "Rock and Rock is dead!"

I've been jamming to the formerly unreleased tracks from Jethro Tull's failure to record in France in 1973. These guys were on point when they were there, too bad the properly completed album never got finished and released.

A Merry SCTV Christmas

Now.... I have absolutely no idea why the MiniDSP digital crossovers had not booted up properly the first time. They were very cold when they arrived, but he allowed them a few hours to warm up before plugging them in. I had used those crossovers in my home for over a year and they never...

... and can you guess what happened? The skies cleared! Bright light filled the room! A choir of angels could be heard in the distance!!! This was it! He was hearing music in a way he had never heard it in his home!!!! Everything suddenly worked as he had been promised and as others had...

What he was hearing from his new speakers was NOT what he expected. When he called to try to figure out the problem, his description to me was "like a 4 inch speaker with completely messed up midrange and tinny, mechanical noise that sounded terrible." Well, I didn't know what he meant, I had...

I also removed the Sorbothane feet from the upper enclosures because they had compressed quite a bit and no longer had a clear hemisphere shape. Instead they were flat and more closely resembled little black donuts under the module. Those were 50A durometer (hardness) and since I could tell that...

Also, since @mkanter has a cat, I decided it would be a good idea to "stuff" the large 4" ports on the bass enclosures with black straws in order to keep any tiny paws from digging around inside the enclosures. The straws also reduce turbulence, slightly increase the efficiency of the resonance...

Good grief! The struggles of trying to troubleshoot issues with audio gear over the phone can take a toll on a person! Over several weeks our new friend @mkanter and I worked on shipping these out and he made some requests I was more than happy to oblige, including applying a fresh coat of...

I know, I know... "prog rock sucks"... okay, got that out of the way. There's an interesting new group of former Spock's Beard members who formed a band and released an album which is very well crafted. Pattern-Seeking Animals, a name I assume refers to the human instinct to unconsciously...

Someone here in Austin posted this to the local Audiophile FB Group: Have recently assembled a system I am reasonably pleased with at a price point that works for me. Consists of a Magna Hifi re-engineered Sonos Connect, PS Audio Direct Stream DAC, PS Audio Stellar 300 amp, and Dynaudio...
