Borresen X3 measurements
I mean experience with measurements not just rotating equipment. Nothing wrong with liking a non flat speaker (bass boost, rolled off, bright, etc). It would be worth understanding how that equipment measures and searching out that equipment. One ... 
55” or 65” TV Screen Size and Your Speakers: Please Join Survey
Yes bigger is correct but I missed that ajant is physically limited on width. To be clear I would just fill the entire space between the speakers with a tv/screen.   If the TV is behind the plane of the speakers it will not affect the sound much... 
Borresen X3 measurements
Kennymacc, Your revels are some of the best measuring speakers ever… I bet you think they are some of the best speakers made too… measurements and sound quality can not be separated. I find a lot of times people just don’t measure their systems ... 
Borresen X3 measurements
I agree 100% with bojack!   Some things in sound quality are not measured or hard to quantify. But that does not negate the value of things we can measure that affect the sound. I have not heard the X3 so the measurments are interesting to me si...

We’ll never compromise audio for a bigger screen as you will regret it. Not wanting to move my left hand speaker closer to the wall is what stopped me from going with a 130” screen. Going from a 110” to a 120” screen was 7” wider and even having t...

I don’t actually. Most good equipment measures well.   
Arendal speakers...are they the real deal or all influencer hype?
Looking at the measurements posted from a few places they look like the real deal. I hope it is true. I think Tower 8 looks like a steel at $9500. I am not in the market as I think these would be a step down for me but I would love to hear them so...

Hmm, always bigger always. No one ever said I wish I bought a smaller set.    I watch on a 120” screen from 10’ away (pictures in my bio). I also sit 10’ from my speakers (also horns). I own an 83” tv too and it looks so small after sitting in fr... 
Kef Blade to Blade meta?
Yyz’s comment about the Reference 5 sounding different matches the measurements I have seen. Stereophile has in room measurements of both laid on top of each other and the reference 5 had a lot more in room high frequency roll off.    I feel the ... 
Kef Blade to Blade meta?
Steve59,   truly sorry to hear about your injury. I hope you have a full recovery.   
Any decent hifi shops around Columbus OH?
There is a Sound & Vision in Columbus. I have not been to the Columbus store but have bought things from their Akron location. They are a typical dealer but good people. They carry B&W, Sonus Faber, magnepan, klipch heritage, paradigm, McI... 
Kef Blade to Blade meta?
Bwguy, I listened to the blade 2 metal again a few weeks ago and thought they lacked detail in the mids and highs. A consistent trend for me when I hear Kef speakers. Having owned B&W and listening to the latest 802D4 I would say the 802D4 is... 
Are Metal Speaker Grilles an Issue?
There are lots of speaker measurements out there out grills on and off. Just have to look it up. Some grills are terrible and other are transparent. They can add a bit of diffraction. Cloth grills drop the highs about say 8k a bit. Like 0.5db for ... 
Compare B&W 804 D2 to D3 speakers
I have heard both but I would not buy either. I can’t really comment on the small difference as it was a quick demo due to me not liking them   I think the 804D4 is one of the best looking speakers but they would be hard to live with. They are d...
