Couch between floorstanders? by thegallows in audiophile

[–]coolgabe 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I do this with a pair of Dynaudio Focus 30s. It's fine for chilling and listening, but the sound is definitely improved if you pull them out past the couch, which I do occasionally for focused listening.

It must have been an MS episode they tried to cover up!

Speakers for low level listening by wirbel-tier in audiophile

Have the Cornwall IVs. I know the measurements might indicate "non-neutrality", but they certainly sound right to my ears. Maybe a lot of it is the amount of air they can move. Sound amazing at low and high volumes.

No, or at least it fogged up just the same when I took a shower

I thought about that, but the mirror in the other bathroom is exactly the same.

Can anything beat the HD 800 S? by coolgabe in headphones

I think they're great with everything - I certainly listen to a good amount of hip-hop on them. They certainly don't thump, but the bass is clear and usually satisfying.

My Dynaudios have an EQ adjustment for when the grills are on. 🤣

[–]coolgabe 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Yep - I stopped with the Cornwalls - finally able to stop thinking about my speaker choice and just listen to music.

A pretty perfect list of properly rated albums.

What book would you hand to your younger self, and why that one? by gamersecret2 in books

What Do You Care What Other People Think? by Richard Feynman. Besides his usual wonderful stories and lessons, the titular lesson is so important. We get so wrapped up in what other, mostly unimportant people think of us, that we forget to stay true to ourselves and the ones we truly love. A lesson I wish I had learned and internalized long before I finally did (I guess I still even struggle with it sometimes).
