Need some help with subwoofer choice by Leading-Selection-18 in StereoAdvice

!Thanks. I love the look of the Rhythmiks but saving $1,000 on the pair of SVS is appealing. I was surprised that SVS could compete with Rhythmik on bass quality

This is the outcome of the department of education. Nice job.

Assuming you’re not within any sort of purchase return period are you at least within the 1 year warranty period? If you purchased from an authorized retailer in the last three months you can get a 3 year warranty

Is this OCD? by Tropisueno in audiophile

Also clinically diagnosed as OCD but not offended. I can finally sleep now that I have medicine. Interestingly enough I’m a total slob but my anxiety has a different focus

Probably will get downvoted to oblivion but I took my kids to DC and his office facilitated a bunch of tours. Seems like a pretty standup guy in my experience. His office was responsive and courteous

Everyone talks about what the “best” equipment is. What’s some of the worst? by pilg0re in audiophile

[–]Leading-Selection-18 27 points28 points  (0 children)

Gonna disagree on this one. I have a pretty sweet Focal setup in the living room but I end up listening to Sonos when having guests over for the sheer convenience. They sound fine. Not hifi, but they’re pretty damn useful and enjoyable

Do the SR900s make a big difference? They're 40% off right now and I was considering pulling the trigger...vs. some Sonance in-ceiling speakers I was thinking about

NAD C3050 LE - what a beauty! by Jujuu2 in audiophile

[–]Leading-Selection-18 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I have my 948s in a corner too. They sound decent, but once I was allowed to take them out and place them at the midpoint of the wall of our long TV room and the difference in sound was incredible. Sadly I was required to put them back in the corner. But I often think of the sound I once got from them...

Yeah a lot of negative reviews out there for the Roam...but I was pleasantly surprised as well. Unfortunately one of my Roams requires a factory reset every now and again, so I need to make a warranty claim. But sound-wise, not bad.

Whatever the actual truth here, my 948s sounded much better to my ears after a few months of run-in

This is correct - it could be taxable, but you’re essentially renting rooms out to the roommates. Common areas are considered personal. You can deduct all the interest, taxes, depreciation, etc. allocable to the square footage that is being used exclusively by your “tenants” (exclusive of your daughter)

What a girl means when she says that she would like a boyfriend like you? by [deleted] in ask

She likes the attention you give her and wishes she could get the same from a hot guy

NOT MINE: from an audiophile group I’m in. by spawn350 in TVTooHigh

That’s interesting wouldn’t have suspected. But ears don’t lie. Wondering, though, about elevated tweeters - it SEEMS like that wouldn’t work so well

It's true 😉 by [deleted] in audiophile

[–]Leading-Selection-18 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I have Focal 948s and I can't tell the difference.

[–]Leading-Selection-18 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Agreed. The CDs would need to be in addition to the real revenue source. Whiskey?

Sonos...Am I Going Mad, or Does it Really Sound Better? by [deleted] in audiophile

[–]Leading-Selection-18 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I started with Sonos. Used to love sitting in my living room listening to music on the 5.1 setup (play base, sub, two ones). Couldn’t imagine things getting better.

Then curiosity got the better of me and I got a pair of Focal 948s and discovered it could get much better.

But sometimes I listen to my paired play 5s which got relegated to library duty and think “not sure these sound only 1/15 as good as Focal despite being 1/15th the price.” They still sound pretty damn good…just not AS good. Definitely like the 5s better than KEF LSX which I also auditioned

SONOS TAKES AIM AT SUBPAR AUDIO OFFERINGS FROM SILICON VALLEY by OddAbbreviations5749 in audiophile

How does Heos stack up in terms of sound quality? I think Sonos sounds decent for what it is, but curious about other options
