I tell them "gret job lads!" every week for a very long time, but my avatar on youtube is a "clown pepe" now and another clown pepe avatar said hello also, so I guess Rob researched what clown pepe was and it angered him and he removed all comments. They describe why at the start of this weeks episode.

Nice. Nothing beats watching a movie on an actual surround setup.

True.

Here's the HD599 setup.

I have a huge 60 Hz null in my listening location. It's a smallish room and all other possible speaker/seat arrangements yield the same results.
Putting the speakers on higher stands and sitting higher moved the null to 40 Hz, which is okay with me but it also made the mids and highs sound fucky. Any advice? Moving furniture is not really an option unless I throw out my bed for a futon.

Buy Stax.

Stax is summit fi and beats everything.

Gotta scratch the itch. Maybe I'll DIY some cables while I wait.

Those are the organs of a legendary audiophile whole had his body grafted into a crude audio system so that he could become one with the music.

Nice. Was the tweeter on the bottom just a style choice, then you just get stands that are a bit higher?

Original stands are lowish so tweeters are a bit further away from your ears to compensate for delay that occurs in the crossover. Some designers use a stepped baffle to achieve this.

Neat. Why not just put some delay in the tweeter to compensate/even things out?

>le epic pepe meme xD
Your damn own fault.

Crossovers are relatively expensive and non-high end stuff is usually designed to have the lowest number of parts possible.

The design mantra is:
Make it work and then remove the most expensive component that doesn't make is stop working.
Repeat.

Drive the woofer full range, its hf response falls off naturally. Single cap for the tweeter.

Anyway digital and active crossovers are slowly superseding old passive stuff.

You have to either to employ some mode-suppressing techniques (multiple subwoofers, or trying to place your speakers another way) or just deal with it.

>slowly
they have for decades now

What exactly am I looking at?

What sort of "modifications" are made here and to achieve what?

Attached: 2E8BD64F-9F71-4922-9C2C-02C7E6B63B70.jpg (996x720, 98K)

What a waste.

Well, they have been for decades and still didn't thus "slowly".

I think it will still be a while since digital crossovers would require power, and, lots of applications make active speakers not practical.

That's just a connection block

Attached: 81eAHZ+rsyL._SY450_.jpg (273x450, 19K)

Amplifiers require power too, so whats your point. Digital crossovers or/and active crossovers can be made separate from amplifier and speakers negating that "not practical aspect".

It's specific to motherboards. Wont see it on a separate dac.

So then in surround systems you run two speaker wires per speaker (for a two way)?

Attached: s-l1000.jpg (800x533, 53K)

You can use multiple core wire. Or 2 wires. Wire is cheap.

>made the mids and highs sound fucky
How so? I assume something along the lines of boundary interference, but be descriptive.

Sometimes it just makes sense to stick to passive. For low power and low-cost applications, speaker-level filtering is just more economical.

The bottleneck for sound quality isn't physical equipment, it's digital mastering. If you want it to sound better, you have to use old shitty equipment to reintroduce some natural variation to the sound-waves.

For my HS8's should i buy these stands for $99AUD or just build my own

if you can build adjustable stands for cheaper then why not

i dont need them to be adjustable, it just so happens that these are the cheapest ones in my area. Im thinking of just 2 pvc pipes filled with sand and a piece of board on the top and bottom. Finding the spikes is tricky though. seems it would be a little bit cheaper but sort of better quality

Old shitty equipment is good only for concealing defects in shitty old recordings.

i wanted to get a set of ohm walsh 2000s for my htpc, but my avr doesn't have line level outputs apparently so i won't get the full range out of them without getting a new one. they suggested the emotiva mc-700 along with one of their amps, but that's at least another $800 USD just for the processor

Attached: 1473822543050.jpg (242x208, 34K)

Even a cheap Fiio E10k sounds heaps better than onboard audio, specially if you have a cheap motherboard.

those are shitty recommendations
do you live in the usa

yup

why don't you look on craiglist in your home state
emotiva is a meme brand
you can get an under $50 avr to act as the preamp and a high-current amp/receiver with a toroid - usually less than $500 used - to drive the ohm walsh pair

Kek

i'll take a look, thanks user. it seems like my current avr (tx-nr676) won't cut it regardless though

Why not use the zone 2 preouts?

Drink bleach and shoot yourself in the mouth, you fucking failed abortion.

i don't know, i'm basing it off of the email i sent them where i laid out my current system and they said it wouldn't be enough due to no line level outputs. they also said if i still got the walsh's with my current avr just not to turn them up too high since it'd cause distortion

Just keep the avr you have and use it with a better power amp like user suggested.

horizontal center speaker spreads the sound wider

kek

so checking, it looks like near me is both a Behringer Europower EP4000 or a NAD CI 9060 Six Channel Power Amp

assuming i get either, how would this chain into the avr exactly?

RCA out of zone 2 preouts to RCA in to power amp to speakers. I probably wouldn't get the 6 channel amp for stereo. Dunno about the Behringer.

speakers are shit

What area you in?

I have a pair just like that I never ended up using you can have if you're in WA for like $40 or something.

2 questions for you philes:
>what is the cheapest but somewhat quality portable music player?
>I have the headphones from scarlett budle called "Scarlett Studio HP 60", are they any good quality-wise and is it wise to keep them?

forgot to mention this is a home theater setup, or eventually will be, so the 6-channel is more interesting. the behringer specs seem lower as well

You'll need a better avr eventually. I thought it was stereo only.

A pair of monoprice retros through an FX-Audio DAC-X6. Sometimes I use my M50X's tho.

You're retarded.
