Should Speaker Manufactures provide a Frequency Response Graph?
MAYBE some people may like the sound of the speaker regardless of the graph. MAYBE it does sound good even with a not so perfect graph. MAYBE it's thinking outside the box and creating a speaker that has it's own unique signature.  ThomasAndStere... 
Preamp to sub connectivity question for stereo
Take just a minute on the phone and call SVS directly. They have an excellent tech advisor that will give you the proper answers and explanations to all your questions.  
Subwoofer Out VS Subwoofer Crossover
@whitneyhengesbach Points to consider... Your amp is very capable of powering the mid-base drivers of the main speakers no problem. 220 watts into 4 ohm. Plenty loud. The Polk XT70’s are capable of going down to 35hz/40hz. Why buy speakers tha... 
Subwoofer Out VS Subwoofer Crossover
How low do your main speakers go down to? A sub is for 'sub' low bass that the main speaker can't achieve. If your main speaker has good lower ranger woofers I would let them do what they were designed for. They can add punch and dynamics that you... 
Resolving Hum with Battery Back-up (EcoFlow) vs Power Conditioners: success vs failure
I had a hum (very noticeable) on a new system – only on the tube part  There was NO hum using SS amp.  So it's either the tubes or that particular tube amp that is the problem. I would simply NIX the tubes. Easy fix. There are plenty of excelle... 
Loud vs. Tactile Bass
Are you talking home theatre or music? The lowest bass under 30hz is great for home theater. Room shaking explosions and crashes. However, for music, the focus is a bit higher above 30hz in the 40 to 80 range. If you want the tactile feel of a ki... 
electronic music
'Perpetual Morphosis'  by Dustin Wong.  Creative endeavor. Full of interesting sounds and movements across the sound stage. 'Wandering'    by Yosi Horikawa    Excellent. Used as a reference recording.  
Scientifically proven improvement for sound clarity.
@toddalin   I don't walk around in public while listening to music through loudspeakers. The sound you hear IS natural. The 'sound' isn't modified in any way. Your ears are being modified to capture more of the sound. Like animals that can change... 
Dog pissed on speaker
Make the color uniform again by pissing on both speakers. Drink a few beers so you can get a solid stream of foamy urine and really soak'em down. That should also change the odor. Just don't eat any asparagus prior to pissing. That would be bad. ... 
Are there other people like me ? Amazed by their low cost system :)
The main reason I go to audio shows is so I can have a reference to compare my system to. You get to listen to expensive and professionally tuned systems and determine where your system stands. If you don't listen to other systems how could you po... 
The D'Appolito, MTM Configuration
What speakers appeared on Stereophile cover? Too many to mention them all. Most recently did a pair of SVS Ultra for a friend. A classic design that sounds incredibly good for a very reasonable price.  
Subwoofer speed is in the room, not the box
@mijostyn  Your subs look great. Are they push/pull or dual opposed?  Have you ever tried precast concrete tubes? FYI..I don't use REL subs. I just use that crossover/volume method. My experience has yielded a great end result that's cheaper and... 
Subwoofer speed is in the room, not the box
@audiokinesis Did you ask any of them why they chose to not high-pass filter their main speakers?  Yes. The majority of the speakers were very capable of producing strong, impactful bass without using a sub. So, they were fed the full unrestric... 
Subwoofer speed is in the room, not the box
@mijostyn Rel is only interested in selling as many subwoofers as they can. Their method of implementation is worse than silly.  Is it just REL you think is silly or are all sub manufacturers silly? I just came back from the Tampa audio show a... 
Anybody going to the Florida International Audio Expo in Tampa?
I'm going on Saturday.
