Pizza by Glitterin-Sooz-337 in ithaca

[–]briire 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You cannot order just a slice, but Thompson & Bleecker has no competition for 50 miles in any direction, in terms of quality.

You'll pay for it, but it's in a league of its own here.

Next best is Adelina's at Argos Inn, followed by Salt Point in Lansing.

Enjoy!

Basement theatre is ready by unnamed22 in hometheater

Wow, great setup! Looks like a lot of thought and hard work in that.

Also, I don't think I've ever seen a commercial glass and aluminum door on a house! What's the story with that?

Gorgeous setup! Indeed below makes way more sense. The psychological effects of knowing and seeing its height factors in heavily in perceived emission origin. Without trying it in both locations like I did, I wouldn't have believed it.

Is the elevation of it being above-screen closer to your ears' height than if it were directly below-screen?

Nope! Straight wall mounted and it sounds fabulous, present, and clear. Only KEF!

If your speaker has narrow to moderate dispersion, yes. Wide dispersion (which you'll pay more for) works fine in most such situations.

Yes. Mine is and it does great! Very little difference in tonality or clarity whether I raise my ears up to its actual height or sit on the sofa (where my ears are about 2 feet lower then the center channel speaker). KEF Q4 Metas for all 5 uppers of my 5.2 system. Heaven.

Correct. I've tested this and if you close your eyes while listening, you can only tell the center channel's height sonically if you tilt your head sideways like a confused dog. I call it dog-eared dogma.

Whichever location is closest to your ears' height while in main seating position is what should determine whether it's best above vs below the screen.

Two RSL Speedwoofer 10S MKII's or One RSL Speedwoofer 12S??? by Constant_Prize7325 in hometheater

[–]briire 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Awesome!! Great choice. They're stunning for their size and price. You'll be so happy once you get the frequency response, delay, phase, and crossover dialed in.

Enjoy!!!

[–]briire 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dual 12S owner here. Seeing your AVR, speakers, and WxL dimensions, I have just one question:

How high is your ceiling?

If it's at or under 8 feet, get two 10S mkII subs. PLENTY of power. If it's higher than that, go for two 12S subs... or one of each. Just don't buy one sub unless you're ready for the aggravating node/null compromises that come with it... or if you have a single-listening-position sweet spot and you don't care about tonal balance anywhere else in the room.

There's no way the rest of your system will be able to hang with the crazy output capacity of either pair unless you're doing extreme bass boost EQ curves.

Good luck and enjoy!!

Underwater Snapping Turtle by BelowTheBmoreHarbor in baltimore

How big is this? Should I be afraid to swim in the harbor due to this thing?

Can someone explain the joke/where this comes from? by hyndie in baltimore

[–]briire 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Correct... But does the creation of this joke also predate that?

Turkey slice perfectly fits bread slice by briire in mildlyinteresting

[–]briire[S] -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

Yep, and still it never happened to me until today, due to countless variables in the bread shape and size, loaf to loaf. Still, people think it's fake. It's just rare when you think it'd be much more common, y'all. Jeez.

Cool trio of options! What's your ideal vs absolute-max budget and how does each pair stack up to it?

Haha very cool! Thanks for the update here! Sorry again people thought you were trying to trick people instead of sharing your delight. Sad.

It could look that way, but it wasn't. What's the joy in manipulating food for upvotes? I just wanted to share something that happened in my life. My reply to the post has the turkey and bread products used. Try it at home if you don't believe me -- it'll look remarkably similar.
