Recommendations for a new subwoofer?
@mylogic  Thank you for your kind acknowledgment.  During my time with a new top of their line end table sized $9K beautifully hand veneered British made Studio III, the benefit from repositioning it to a crawl tested standing wave location was... 
Recommendations for a new subwoofer?
@cooper52: 1. "what would be a suitable replacement for that sub?" 2. "despite my previous experience with REL, is that it doesn’t rely on an app to get it dialed in to my system," 3. "Whatever sub I wind up with will have to have speaker-level o... 
Tin Pan Alley and Thanks to You- which speakers play the tap on the snares the best?
Despite my Hi-Fi journey beginning in the mid sixties my speaker budget kept me relegated to mid-fi speakers until my last purchase.  Lets call what your looking for is midrange slam. My first speakers were actually our PA  speakers, Altec A7's V... 
Joseph Audio RM-33LE vs DeVore Gibbon 8, my experience.
Never heard either but I really value most anybody's hands on in home side by side comparison over a decent period of time. @uberwaltz's model (not just a brand name) description, likes and dislikes are useful and quite informative - well done. D... 
Calling all Eggleston owners
I’m wondering what Eggleston has to say about the GR Research finding?

Peerless coffee in Oakland California. Keep your Vmoe.   
One Sub or Two?
At 15Hz-28kHz (+/-3dB) your 801's low frequency capabilities produce substantially lower output than any six of REL model sub-bass speakers, all of which typically begin a dramatic -6dB low frequency roll off in the mid 30Hz region.  While your... 
Speaker choice without need for deep bass
@dynamiclinearity   Part of the problem is most sub woofers only have a low pass filter to roll them off where they mesh with the main speaker. If they also had a high pass for the main speaker to reduce the load on it, then the small main speake... 
What are your opinions of DSP's for speakers
@asvjerry ....for better or worse, the former in my realm, been DSP since '80's. It's allow me to tame rooms that audio may have had no business in... I've thought over a DBA arrangement that I've inherited a sub-eq that 'onceupona' was mated par... 
What are your opinions of DSP's for speakers
Incredible strides have been made and the trajectory continues. Subwoofer Optimization aside, if one's system has been seriously assembled with speakers optimally positioned for the playback of a substantial collection of pre digitally mastered v... 
2 Channel system sounds weak and lackluster
@mark200mph +1   The ear wax + smutz thing is a substantial possibility. It was for me.  Knowing I have condition called surfers ear I thought I could get ahead of the issue using over the counter applications and rubber bulb warm water rinses du...

Do you use Q-Tips at all?  
Gain level on a REL sub
@wolf_garcia BASS not base. I make that mistake often and I'm a Double Bassist. @labpro Then add in your 1 REL using the crawl method. Very small movements of the REL can make a big difference. The subwoofer crawl is accomplished by positio... 
Gain level on a REL sub
@highend64 However, the gain is almost all the way up and I don feel that punch and slam I am looking for. All REL sub-bass speakers are dramatically rolled off -6dB@rated output. Your HSU STF-2 is a -2dB@21 or 22Hz actual subwoofer which demon...
