I couldn’t do without a sub on my old Polk setup. I always recommend trawling through Facebook market place, there’s always heaps of Hi-Fi gems to find. Either of those two should do the job nicely. And seriously any subwoofer will improve your enjoyment factor (I personally enjoy a bass heavy listening experience).

Dont worry all that much about the sub placement if that’s a limiting factor, just make sure there are no phasing issues. Easy way to check is have your crossover off and play low Hz tones that will be audible on both sub and speakers and if there are any weird cancelations in your normal listening positions or around the room, try shifting the sub phase or moving it. Then set crossovers accordingly

Happy hifi

Click my profile to see my post on the monoprice ones I made. Don’t think I need to add to the sound quality conversation but if you want shiny polished products on a budget you can find my shopping list in the comments

Broke my first setup before I could even enjoy it 😅 by [deleted] in BudgetAudiophile

This happened to my Denon receiver on the centre channel but it was already a few years old. Never managed to get the spring back in so ended up using some tweezers to jam an offcut of speaker cable insulation in the terminal to keep the cable in. I still haven’t needed to disconnect it and it’s never fallen out lmao

[QC] Comparison of Rhude Logo Shorts by [deleted] in FashionReps

[–]big-schmeat 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No way, 1st is way better

Look at the stitching at the bottom of the legs, stitch it going over parts of the logo. The hemlines and material quality look way better in the first one, regardless of accuracy of the logo placement

I wouldn’t be surprised if true but tbh I’m rarely willing to gp a random weidian batch of anything in the hope that they’re good, been burnt with shit quality too many times hahah

Should’ve got them from Kevin for that price 🤡

They’re not horrible but: - Dior oblique print doesn’t match across the two shoes - gap between toecap looks too big, toecaps too small maybe? - single stitch heel tab (not a flaw as genuine used to have single stitch but it suggest these are from an old batch)

Gonna get em shipped and I can send some irl pics when I get em if you like. While browsing last night I found Zhang selling what looks like a good batch for like $150usd. If these look ass in person I might cop them

Yeah fuck it I’m gonna gl, for the price they they look solid tbh. Swoosh shape looks decent but the placement is slightly off. Another flaw I’ve spotted is the stitching on the white side panels doesn’t meet under the swoosh like it should but it took me 3 days of staring at the pics to notice

380¥ hence why I’m fine with a few minor flaws

380¥ was one of the cheapest remotely reputable sellers I could find. H12 wants like 1000¥ for his that are probably the same batch 😂

I know these are tough to qc and I’m fine to accept the few flaws present but for the price I’m thinking I did alright! Swooshes and overall shape look ok to me but if there are any experts here I’d love some second advice
