In that case, your best solution to this problem is a MOTU M2 or M4. MOTU has rock solid drivers and builds very reliable and performant interfaces at very reasonable prices.

In a word, yes. When mixing, I often use a Schiit Modius into a Peachtree Nova 300 into headphones or speakers. It works flawlessly. You should experience the same with any decent DAC/amp into headphones. Not sure why you would care about latency if you are not monitoring any analog input...

Given the choice, I would take the 208s. My room is tiny, so I had to go with the 206s to not have them look silly.

Not really. You typically have to prove standing and actual harm and you likely could not show either.

Yes. I did that for a few years including using the Concerta center. It all sounded glorious together. Tonal matching is not nearly as much of a thing as the industry would have you believe, however. (I now have all Polk in-wall surrounds and in-ceiling heights and it still sounds glorious.)...

I think that was assumed in his post. As in, this is how Eric arrived at the supersonic air nonsense, but add the port back and the pressure change is assumed to be minimal.

Oh dear. That sounds like what happened to my [new] 4700 right at year 3. I had it repaired, and they said they had to replace a power supply board and an amp board. By the time I received it back, I had purchased a [new] 4800, so I sold it instead of placing it back in service. I hope the 4800...

To me, this question addresses artists who still had a lot to say and were taken too young. The 4 that spring to mind are: Jimi Hendrix Stevie Ray Vaughan (finally clean and sober, putting out great new music and extending his reach beyond his band) Eva Cassidy (on the brink of being...

I suppose I should update this... I received it back two weeks ago. They said they replaced a power supply board and an amplifier board. They said the delay was waiting on parts. The repair cost me $0 out of pocket, fortunately. Rather than place it back in service, I elected to sell it to a...

Careful. I personally built some of the gear he travels to display ;)

The real shame of this situation is it is taking Amir's time. Valuable time in which he could be writing more UNSOLICITED reviews!

One has to protect the crystal lattice!

Start by pointing them straight ahead with no toe-in. Toe them in incrementally from there. I have not worked out the degrees of toe-in for my speakers, but they are only toed in about 1/2" from corner to corner vs. the front wall. That gives me the best imaging and frequency response in my room.

The 206 does not have that option, so... no.

I have a pair of these, and I am well-pleased with them. In-room frequency response with Dirac correction up to 1KHz (no subs):
