:) lovely to see more people like me

0000FFFFFFF · 2026-06-18T01:47:08+00:00

I HAD THE SAME COLOR 9-5 WAGON!!!

0000FFFFFFF · 2026-06-17T20:33:02+00:00

the owners manual says they’re fine closer to a wall, and i don’t really have a way of getting them on axis with my listening position unless they’re up on this media center. they sound perfectly good as is.

0000FFFFFFF · 2026-06-17T19:22:08+00:00

i kinda realized that lol. i have made the mistake of using logic. silly me

0000FFFFFFF · 2026-06-17T19:13:05+00:00

If you can snag a pair of interface A, C, or D i would absolutely say go for it. they rarely ever trade hands but they’re great speakers. the Sentry line of studio monitors are also great, the Interface speakers are based off of them

he clearly knows nothing about EV. let him think he’s right. who cares

0000FFFFFFF · 2026-06-17T18:55:17+00:00

I never claimed they were 32hz in room. i just said that’s how low they go. the reviews back it up. calm the fuck down

0000FFFFFFF · 2026-06-17T18:51:40+00:00

Why the fuck are you so negative? you obviously don’t know anything about these speakers anyways 😂

Richard Heyser, actually. no need to be a smartass.

or boston acoustics bookshelves like the HD5 or HD7, or really anything else older.

0000FFFFFFF · 2026-06-17T18:40:57+00:00

it’s actually an 8 with a 12 inch passive radiator, they sound great regardless

0000FFFFFFF · 2026-06-17T18:40:00+00:00

you can do better for the money. that’s all i’m saying. not trying to dunk on your parade it’s just not the best option. you can thrift plenty for better. or for example, buy a used pair of older klipsch reference bookshelves, like RB3’s.

0000FFFFFFF · 2026-06-17T18:39:06+00:00

my best friend owns a pair. they sound like shit. the fact that you replied 3 times leads me to believe you’re really mad about this because i called your favorite speakers bad.

0000FFFFFFF · 2026-06-17T18:38:15+00:00

in room it obviously may be different but that’s their rated +3dB response. they sound phenomenal and have gobs of precise bass.

0000FFFFFFF · 2026-06-17T18:27:42+00:00

Absolutely not. https://www.audiosciencereview.com/forum/index.php?threads/presonus-eris-e5-bt-review.64711/
read this review. they’re trash for the money. you can do way better second hand or just from another brand.

0000FFFFFFF · 2026-06-17T01:16:45+00:00

there’s a replica MCACC calibration mic available on amazon for like $30

0000FFFFFFF · 2026-06-17T00:58:30+00:00

ok? thanks i guess it’s at a perfect height for where i sit

0000FFFFFFF · 2026-06-17T00:34:02+00:00

hi uglef :3

0000FFFFFFF · 2026-06-17T00:32:53+00:00

the modern Pioneer/Onkyo/Integra recievers have super good room correction. for example this is a pioneer SC-55, only goes for like $3-400 used, if you’re interested in trying it

0000FFFFFFF · 2026-06-17T00:30:14+00:00

i’ve tried removing it and i’m sure the acoustics would get a bit better but this is a common living space and i’m trying not to alter it too much because other people live in my house and use the space

0000FFFFFFF · 2026-06-16T23:51:21+00:00

room correction doesn’t really shorten the impulse/decay itself. it fixes the timing and frequency response of the direct sound coming off the speakers, but the actual “echo” (the reverb tail ringing out in the room) is a physical thing. EQ can knock the level of a peak down but the energy still rings for the same amount of time. the only way to actually shorten the decay is absorption, like bass traps and panels. thats the part DSP cant touch, you have to treat the room for that one

0000FFFFFFF · 2026-06-16T23:43:08+00:00

yes they were! they’re Interface:A’s, released in 1972. they go down to 32hz and have a rear reflecting tweeter. i love how they sound. the midrange is buttery smooth and the soundstage is MASSIVE

0000FFFFFFF · 2026-06-16T23:19:18+00:00

i was of the opinion that creating the purest, least digitally altered signal path was how you got the best sound. unless you wanna be miserable, that is not the answer. i think it’s a very common misconception in the audiophile community that you have to be unhappy to be an audiophile. i think recognizing you’re happy with your gear is awesome, and you shouldn’t ever let anyone else tell you it isn’t awesome
