| More power for better sound at low volumes? Mapman, I dont think high efficient speakers will always be better at low volume. I do maybe 75% of my listening at lower volume so I am very tuned into this with my upgrades. First thing I ask the dealers to do is turn down the volume and you usu... | |
| Brandi Carlile The recording really is very poor in my opinion, and I listen to it far less than I otherwise would. I hope she will do an all acoustic version one day with someone who knows what they are doing. | |
| Wireless router "contamination" of sound? I had the same thoughts so tried switching off the household wifi while listening. I could not hear any change. My system has become more resolving since then so I might try it again sometime. Agree with the comments on isolating the system from s... | |

| Catchy tunes that sound great? I think the Beatles deserve a passing mention here. | |
| 2012 Discoveries Have not heard it but will try it when i get the chance. | |
| Optical input double adaptor? How do you think it might affect the sound? Cant be good. | |
| More power for better sound at low volumes? ... and i think i have also noticed that low efficiency speakers tend to sound better at higher volumes than high efficiency speakers. I could well be wrong of course. Others here have wider experience than me. | |
| More power for better sound at low volumes? I have noticed better low volume sound as the efficiency of the speakers goes up. | |
| What makes music so congested? I saw the biggest impact by far on decongesting music come from moving from an integrated to separate mono block amps. No doubt in my mind. | |
| Who has seen Bon Iver on this new tour? Am I the only one who does not 'get' Bon Iver? I bought their latest album and tried to like it but eventually got rid of it. I appear to be in the tiny minority. |
