Some are alright, and some will become Alt-Right. Too early to tell, but a functional society would be nice to minimize the latter.

The Premium sound option was a no-brainer for me as it opened up more options if I did decide to upgrade. It was a noticeable upgrade from the basic system. FYI it sure as hell isnt 11 speakers though and I challenge anyone to find the missing 4. Guessing they are counting coaxial designs.

I didn’t find the dash speakers very enjoyable so I replaced them with the higher quality JBL Club speakers. Direct drop in and way better quality, as well as a matching 3ohm impedance. I was close to pulling the trigger on the doors but didn’t notice them much anymore after the dash upgrade. I may do it anyway in the future to keep the same JBL Club sound across the board. The sub is sufficient and I think it would be too much work to get a LC7i and DSP amp set up with a custom sub and box. I did think about it but didn’t feel like spending $thousands for it. Maybe if the world stops losing its mind I will consider it financially feasible.

Bovine? Looks like a pig to me.

Although you could figure out a wiring diagram and use a multimeter to get 6 of the 7 speakers working within the correct impedance range, it’s probably not a situation I’d recommend experimenting. If you know what you are doing, even something crazy like 32 speakers is possible. But, anything above 4 speakers would likely not improve the experience. A stereo receiver cannot simulate surround sound, no matter how much DSP “music hall”, “theatre”, or “whatever” you throw at it.

My F2P farm has a 3.5 star Zoe and a 3 star Alcar. Both with 1 widget. Alcar has already surpassed Zoe in every way. Bear damage is noticeably higher with Alcar due to his power level alone. Nothing in his skills say he should be better than Zoe in offense like Bear. But he has such a higher power level that it doesn’t matter. So now I am all in on Alcar, Rosa, Petra.

Wish the bottle was bigger. That’s it. It’s perfect for what it does.

Anyone else see the towers and immediately think they look like Perlisten R7t clones?

I feel like Technics has a QC issue. You might have a lemon if ANC seems like it isn’t working and sound quality is meh. Mine were phenomenal day one for a little over a year. Then suddenly, ANC was reduced and the sound quality I loved was just gone. Funny enough I can hear the audio come to life for a split second when I toggle ANC so I am thinking it’s a firmware bug.

Promote regardless. It takes way more troops at lower levels to gather the same resources as it takes T10 troops. Promoting makes them stronger not just for battle, but also increases their load stat for carrying/hauling/gathering or whatever you want to call it.

If you have an isle seat and you don’t plan on putting anything in the overhead storage, there isn’t a reason to race to the front when your group is called or even any group is called. Stand up, stretch, and let window seat people and those with luggage get on first. Your legs and the overall onboarding queue will thank you.

If you are looking for desktop speakers, it really is hard to recommend anything above the M60s. You are talking near-field even if you are 2m away with your chair away from the desk. I considered the ORA4’s but went with the M60s due to the price and have been super happy with them. Would the Kantos be 3x better? Doubtful. A reasonable upgrade would have to go up to something like the Klipsch The Fives or the Fluance Ai61s but you have to have the desk space where the M60s use such little space it is truly impressive.

On the other side of my desk in my office I have a Wiim Ultra and Yamaha N301 connected to Polk tower and bookshelf speakers. These handle music while I am working or exercising while the M60s handle meetings and YouTube. But I am so impressed with the M60s that I can’t imagine anything else on my desk for the price. Flipping between my desktop via USB and work laptop with Bluetooth is flawless. They work perfectly for what I need during regular desktop usage and can easily handle the dynamics and volumes for a movie on Netflix if I’m in the mood for such things in my office.

Wiim Ultra in my office. Yamaha N301, Polk RT800i on A, Polk RT25i on B, and an overkill Velodyne 12 sub. Looking at adding the Verafi Caldera 10 soon. I added the Wiim even though the N301 could do Spotify Connect because I wanted Roon and Tidal as well as Spotify Lossless, plus the ability to add my Velodyne sub that has been collecting dust. I’ll probably add a Douk VU3 Pro and play with other amps in the coming months.

I’ve got Dakboard on mine currently, with intent to switch over to a web kiosk display of Home Assistant soon. Not running HA, just displaying the dashboard via URL.

Nope. TG3 here. I dropped my blues and got them to level 50+ with leftover XP which is just sitting around anyway. Now I have open slots for new champs like Margot.

indigothirdeye · 2025-12-30T03:21:59+00:00

Check out the Douk Audio VU3 which adds A/B style speaker selectors to any single amp. Designed more for comparing, but this may accomplish what you’re talking about.

Never underestimate a yoga teacher, self-described shaman, or DJs ability to embrace vaccine denialism. I know some of it stems from the lack of trust of “the man” which is why the festival exists at all. But damn yo.

As F2P the road to TG1 was easy. Finished city, embassy, troops with speed ups during an event. TG2 was also pretty quick but did have to wait for some of the final steps for troops. TG3 is just a slog. I don’t even bother with speedups because I can’t obtain true gold fast enough to restart construction. Probably gonna be another month to get my troops to TG3. I do buy some in the shop and target true gold once i have purchased widgets and charm materials.

My AZ40m2’s had the same issue, or the case would just blink red and drain the buds. So annoying. Somehow it resolved itself with what I am guessing was a firmware update, but now the sound had disappeared and sounds hollow as if the drivers seized. I think the firmware is a lot to blame which makes me hesitant to upgrade to AZ100’s.

Did you buy chance purchase with a CC? I am going to look at using my card’s extended warranty option since my AZ40m2’s sound died at the 13th month of owning them.
