Active crossover speakers/systems - what are current options?
I suppose beauty is in the eye of the beholder. I think that beolab 90 is much more attractive than a lot of high end-approved speakers. And for anyone who finds the JBL M2s interesting, those are pro audio speakers, and there's a whole world of them out there to explore if you can get past the...- Phelonious Ponk

Is the Measurement Forum the place for objectivists to be attacked by subjectivists?
I'm more than old enough to appreciate the importance of tribalism, and I'm sure there are many truths on both sides. But when fundamental, conflicting truths are apparent, something is probably false. Science seeks to weed out the false and find the truth. She seeks evidence and verification...- Phelonious Ponk

Audiophile Marketplace and Manufaceturer Nervosa
Balanced is theoretically better, though the advantage is moot unless you have long cable runs.

What is the correlation b/w measurements and good sound?
I don't try to judge sound quality by eye, but my subjective experience, for many years, has been the opposite of yours. More often than not, I prefer the sound of equipment that measures well over "thicker bass" and "warmer amplifiers." This goes all the way back to when I was 19 or 20 and...- Phelonious Ponk

Will power amps make an audible difference?
There are different leagues of everything - price, status, pleasing sound, accurate sound. And there are plenty of guys here who are in a completely different league from an Onkyo AV receiver on all counts. And I like Onkyo receivers just fine. Tim- Phelonious Ponk

What is the cause of PCM glare? Bad recording or Bad DAC? Anything banish it?
For many, I think "a bit bright" and "glare" are synonymous, whether they realize it or not. Tim -

And add nothing more? If so, there is no "PCM glare." This glare is from somewhere else. Tim -
