    KeithR's "Dream Speaker" Search

    I too am very interested in the Gamuts, specifically the RS7i. I've been communicating with Michael and trying to set up an audition at his place. I am very curious to hear your thoughts.

    2 subs for 2-ch only system in a small room?

    I've been thinking about using digital room correction (DIRAC). My first step towards this is to get a usb mic and analyze my room through Room EQ Wizard software. I am hopeful this is more accurate than my cheapo SPL meter and test tones method.

    2 subs for 2-ch only system in a small room?

    Thank you Amir. Curious why you think setting up a second sub would be so difficult and why an EQ is needed? I know I have to experiment with placement but in your experience do you think its too hard to find a good location?

    2 subs for 2-ch only system in a small room?

    I recently added a REL T/5i sub to my system and have been very happy with the results. Integration was a breeze with my Sonus Faber Guarneri Evolution monitors and I am now more engaged in my music than ever. So of course being a typical audiophile, I got to thinking if 1 sub sounds this good...

    My integrated died...time to upgrade or fix/mod? (SF Evolution speakers)

    Yeah I know I can find a tech but since I am also looking to upgrade/mod it at the same time I am trying to find someone reputable who can do both. I will heck out the LA/OC hi-fi club. According to their website they are still in business. I reached out to their US distributor to see if...

    My integrated died...time to upgrade or fix/mod? (SF Evolution speakers)

    It looks like my beloved Accustic Arts Power 1 integrated amp is dying a slow death. Sometimes I do not get any sound from it. Cycling power works sometimes. My feeling is that the problem is just something simple like a relay or something. So my options are: 1. Fix the amp and while I am...

    New PS Audio Directstream DAC

    For PC audio I highly suggest using Windows Server2012 and Audiophile Optimizer on top of that for incredible improvement over Win7.

    New PS Audio Directstream DAC

    I too have always liked PS Audio products but lately it seems the company is favoring the typical audiophile hyperbole in their marketing. Maybe its just a sign of the times in an effort to gain our mindshare. Anyway, i personally think any company that comes out with expensive DACs is missing...

    Speakers closer to sidewall?

    Good points. One thing I love about my little room is my ability to treat it. Treating a room tastefully is much harder in a living room. What I need is a big dedicated room. Time to look for a rich woman to marry!

    Speakers closer to sidewall?

    Thank you. I really wish I could pull my speakers out more but my little room just won't allow it. Time to reclaim the loving room!
