Powered speakers show audiophiles are confused

The primary issue @donavabdear appears to have is a noisy signal chain (noisy tube pre-amp + high gain amp will cause that). That is what you find out when you listen and research and do not jump to conclusions.  @donavabdear , did you respond about how your subs were connected? That buzz sounded like what a single ended connection would suffer from.

The OP, @donavabdear lost some warmth, but gained detail and lost noise, and eliminated concern with tube life. @donavabdear , the first thing I would explore is a custom equalization curve. That seems well within the range of your Lyngdorf.  I would suggest starting with a 1db boost from about 50Hz up to 350Hz. You can try bumping that 1db level up and down a 1/4db at at a time and play with the end points, but more so on the 350Hz, pushing it up a bit at a time.  I am sure @kota1 can tell you why I picked those frequencies.

Because you couldn't pick a system, a preamp, a speaker, an amp, or even a cable, LOL. 🙄

@thespeakerdude

I am busting your chops a bit but your claims have simply been outlandish, at least to me. I called out some other members in this same thread who immediately backed up their posts. Even @donavabdear was called out in this thread and he threw down (an Oscar even, having coffee with the stars, didn’t see that coming.)

You are still invited to my thread on inexpensive systems, it is truly a treasure trove of info on system matching.

@kota1 ,

You seem to fancy yourself an unofficial moderator. You pull the same childish stunt with everyone. @donavabdear I doubt in any way felt called out, and neither did anyone else. I don’t feel called out by you, I feel you are simply immature and trying to show off. Nothing I have said is even a slight bit outlandish, but given your lack of knowledge and experience, it may seem that way. I gave you some material to study so you could participate in a more advanced discussion. I hope you have brushed up, but how about this, instead of further derailing @donavabdear ’s threads with your antics, you stick to the topic being discussed and only the topic and leave your need to bully me or whatever it is you think you are doing in your head.

Nothing I have said is even a slight bit outlandish

Sonos is trying to hire someone.. who can't even assemble a system.

I gave you some material to study

LOL, see the above.

participate in a more advanced discussion.

I invited you to my other thread, come discuss already.

I don’t feel called out by you

Yeah, what do I know, I'm just an unofficial moderator right?

whatever it is you think you are doing 

In a thread on powered speakers I shared my 9.2.7 system... of powered speakers.

I shared how any member of this forum can build a matched system based on powered speakers on a budget of less than $10K to more than $100K ($200K if you include construction costs of the room).

If I posted about a tube sounding solid state amp its because I actually used it, on the same brand of speakers of the OP.

Please come to the other thread, there are many budget systems that have been painstakingly curated by members here (some even have pictures in the virtual system area)
