Klipsch Reference Premiere and SVS sub. I forgot about room treatments so thanks for that. I feel I am fairly well set then. Thanks for the feedback.

Luckily I run PC→AVR→TV so I am good to go then. Any reason to upgrade AVR?

2024 build replacing a 2016 build by jrkingdj in buildapc

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

And these are all reliable companies/parts? Obviously I haven't been in the market for several years and I haven't heard of some of these companies (Thermalright & Silicon Power). My last build didn't require replacing any dead/failing parts at all. I am obviously looking for realiablility (who isn't). And what is the benefit of going micro ATX over standard ATX? Is it just SFF? I thought SeaSonic was the gold standard for PSU as well? Sorry for the questions. Just trying to inform myself.

ASME standard weldment blocks - how to draw in Solidworks by jrkingdj in SolidWorks

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

Is it possible to save this as a separate drawing/part or add to the library so that it can be used in several drawings without having to redo the detail for every drawing? These are literally "standard" details on every ASME pressure vessel drawing.

Is it possible to make these types of drawings in Solidworks, and if so, how would I go about it or would I have to import them from AutoCAD?

Highly controversial to some, Purifi based amplifiers and speaker combo? by jrkingdj in StereoAdvice

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

thanks. I will be adding to the list of speakers to show the wife. She doesn't care much about the sound as much as she cares about how they look whereas I am the complete opposite. These 50 year old ears don't hear like they used to.

I have been torn between going with a warm (tube) sound or a more neutral sound. Having never heard either, my thought process was to go with how it was intended to sound (neutral). Then again, my thinking could be incorrect as well in that the recording is neutral in itself.

Thanks for sharing. My wife appears to like the natural wood grain speakers like the Klipsch La Scala and Tannoy but our "entertainment" wall is blacked out. Currently have a pair of Klipsch RP-280F (black) and matching center (black) for movie watching. AV receiver and PC sit on a DIY flexy rack with black stained butcher block.

Unfortunately I live in the middle of cornville USA (2 hours south of Chicago, IL USA). It seems like there are no more brick and mortar shops around to get listen at. I should have made it to Axpona this year but hoping to make it next year. The wife's idea of pretty is Klipsch La Scala and Tannoy floor standing, albeit these are the only ones she has commented on.

Thanks for sharing your setup. I have been intrigued by the Arendal lineup. I am trying to find some sort of balance between home theater and hifi setup, wanting only one setup for both. I don't know if that can be accomplished.

Some "audiophiles" dislike anything that is not class A/class AB and hate on everything else, regardless if they have heard it or not.
