Had both a pair of svs pb 12 and sb12 on trial. Likely will end up keeping all of them.

Happy to report a noticeable improvement with the subs and the 3.7. The modes in the room have now been tamed resulting in more relaxed and balanced sound, more enveloping especially listening to orchestral pieces, and the speakers have now comple...

Thanks Tom. Yes, I was thinking to use 2 sealed subs with the 3.5.

I'm exploring adding woofers to my system. I have a large listening space, 30x30x20 ft where I have my 3.7 positioned. Have the svs sb12 and pb12 on trial. Have a second listening space of 22x16x12 where I have my 3.5. Tell me about your experienc...

Andy, what you call more natural maybe related to the lack of frequency dependent phase shift. Your mind will need measurements to make sense of this. Simulations are no substitute. Don't under estimate the skill of making accurate measurements, I...

Andy2, glad to see that more people are getting familiar with options to have linear phase. The steepness of the slope had an impact on the pre ringing, as has the frequency of the filter. As the goal is to keep the pre ringing inaudible, lower or...

With all these variables related to parts of a passive xo, any experience how a passive xo compares to a digital active xo? Maybe I should hook up my passive xo again.

I believe your playlist are not lost as they remain with the streaming service. Anything hooked up to the internet with a cable has the risk of being zapped by lightning. Only thing equal or better in price would be raspberry pi with a dac.

Let me add my impressions to the comparison of the 7.0 and 7.2. we listened to some Michael Jackson songs from thriller album. Rob has all Bryston, the latest CD, pre amp and 28 B3 amps. Not sure about cables. As the room is an office, perhaps 14 ...

The reviews on audio science review forum suggest some caution with the audio-gd dacs. 
First order/Time Phase-Coherent speakers discussions
Andy2: "I’ve been doing some simulation and I will post some of my findings with graphs, plots, actual simulation runs so that we are discussing on subjective personal opinions. Some of my findings actually shows that intentionally making time-pha...

Ok, let's try to keep the concepts clear. Time coherence is different from phase coherence and obtained differently. Thiel speakers are time coherent from an 8' distance as the drivers are set back in the baffle and the sound needs to travel some ...

With both speakers it could be a room mode or other boundary effect. Test it by changing locations in the room.
