    Stereo imaging and the witchcraft of circuitry design

    I thought I understood imaging and setting things up for a good sound stage - good speakers, speaker placement, minimize reflections, good source material with some recordings being better than others. But recently I’ve run into a situation where I’m at a loss. My problem seems to be not the...

    Please help with room potential... I am a novice trying to learn as much as I can!

    Hello fellow audio nuts! I tried posting this on reddit and got absolutely lambasted for so many things, with so much vitriol, simply for asking for suggestions on how to make things better.

    The Two Most Frustrating Things about Hi-Fi...

    How far have you gone down the hi-fi rabbit hole? A mile or two? Hi-Fi Nirvana can be a fickle, illusive thing. I think I've traveled to the fourth or fifth circle of hi-fi hell once or twice. Can I get an amen? Why is only the left channel of my amplifier making that weird noise? How did I end...

    CRAZY (to me)- difference in Triangle BRO3 and Elac DBR-62 performance in different rooms.

    OK- maybe not crazy. But to a wannabe audiophile newbie like me... I almost can't believe it. Just got some Triangle BRO3's and a set of ELAC DBR-62's. I have an old set of Def Tech Promonitor 1000's that were too trebly for me. Anyway- I was demoing these in my admittedly awfully configured...

    Hi guys, I'm just curious if anyone else has tried this with success. I used to love my Klipsch Tangent T200's on the floor angled up at me. There was even an era where my listening chair was also 2 ft off the ground. It filled the room in a pretty incredible way. I always attributed this to...

    Placing bookshelf speakers upside down?

    Hey guys. I was wondering if anyone did this or if anyone had any reasons why I shouldn't. With my setup the Tweeter would be much closer to head level and easier to angle if I place my bookshelf speakers upside down. Would this cause any issues with the way my setup would sound or would it...
