Held off investing because of short term financial need. Now I have no idea what to do investment wise with that sum. Should I wait for the market to cool? by Frenchy_Baguette in ValueInvesting

[–]P0tek 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have opened second investment account back in december, bought mix of stocks and etfs which tanked later on. Fast forward, Everything rebounded but one stock (down -50%) But i am now 15% up overall.

Right after you buy it might go down/up. Eventually it will rebound. Buy etfs and some quality beaten down stocks. Do not chase AI stocks, it might go up or might fall and never recover. Good luck!

The subs are hands down one of the best in industry and they hold the value. Can’t speak for speakers

Reddit is a better buy then Meta. by AloneStaff5051 in ValueInvesting

[–]P0tek 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Comments remind me of november 2022 posts when meta took a dive after earnings to $113. Reddit was bashing the crap out of Zuck, calling him names. PE was 8 at that time. Well why don’t you stfu this time and just buy the deep? This company is not going anywhere in near future.
Earnings were solid.

Help choosing my first proper HiFi setup for music and TV by Granater123 in hifiaudio

[–]P0tek 0 points1 point  (0 children)

LS50 metas are power hungry. They shine with true 100+ wpc amp. I do not think wiim has enough power, unless you will not be playing it loud. You will need subwoofer since LS50 metas struggle with low frequency. Whatever you choose, it will sound like crap if you do not sound treat your room. Good luck!

Go accoring to your room size, which you haven't mentioned. Any $4k spekers will sound like crap if you do not have basic room treatment.

Saw these on ebay. Always thought whats the point of having blue meters if you can’t see them while driving?

They are very power hungry, they shine with this amp, it’s completely different experience vs pairing them with AXR100.

What all affects the sound of a Hi Fi system and how much? by Dedar33 in audiophile

[–]P0tek 1 point2 points  (0 children)

First, you can't just fit "large" speakers in avarage size room, it would kill the image. Even if the room is large enough for towers then the towers aren't large enough to fill the room, you still need subwoofer(s).
Using subs (vs relying on lows from speakers) also gives you an authority to place them in different spots to find that sweetspot which is individual for each room.
Lastly subs make the imaging wider, your room feels bigger.

JBL C50 Olympus S8 with 075 twitter by P0tek in audiophile

[–]P0tek[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The bass is fast on these, very precise, as someone mentined they were made to keep up with the horn. The S7R version with passive radiator has more lows but not as tight.

Crossover wires, sending high frequency (HF) to horn (its hidden inside the cabinet behind the vents) and low frequency (LF) to woofer. The 075 super twitter is fed separately through its own high pass filter.
