    Topping D900 - teardown

    Thanks for the insights! Here I had up to 25°C in-room-temperature in the last days when it was upwards of 30°C outside, and I am thinking about an AC unit for my apartment, but 33°C? Ouch, my body would shut-down under these circumstances. :)

    80s inspired aesthetics with synth

    I love this combo, if you have similar recommendations please share. :cool: (original theme by Tangerine Dream)

    A Call For Humor!

    Recently I had to send documents to s.o. via email. Even his colleagues at the other company made a typo writing his last name (Krawczyk, at least one vowel), and the email went nowhere.

    Master AI (Artificial Intelligence) Discussion/News Thread

    Oh come on, what could possibly go wrong? Thermonuclear war? Are you kidding me?!? They've done studies and stuff, everything is 110% safe. Recently different AIs running a "vending machine business" were compared and it worked out just fine ... if you like "that escalated quickly"-memes: :D

    Any opinions on Genelec 8341a vs March Audio Sointuva?

    Never listened to the active LS50s. I think Kef has a similar approach to Genelec but it's dedicated to consumers with a more pleasing design (just my opinion). It's just a 5" coax after all, what they can achieve with it is quite impressive. That's a mini pc. The metal enclosure is supposed to...

    Any opinions on Genelec 8341a vs March Audio Sointuva?

    At the back of the desk I mounted some shelves where all the stuff you don't want to see can be placed, so there is not enough room for the subwoofer. There is only an -8 dB dip between 40 and 45 Hz, otherwise +/- 2 dB from 25 to 100 Hz. But with the desk moved away from the wall the...

    Any opinions on Genelec 8341a vs March Audio Sointuva?

    The 7350a is nearly on par with the 8331As. As the 8341As have significantly more amp power there might be some limitation regarding overall system volume. Was not able to have it under my desk as well. What about placing it on the side? At 85 Hz, because of a dip the speakers have just below...

    Any opinions on Genelec 8341a vs March Audio Sointuva?

    My 8331As extend to 45 Hz before "falling off a cliff". However, the FR-graph tells only part of the story. For me adding a subwoofer (7350a) was huge upgrade, works flawless due to GLM calibration. Also there is at least some punch and authority in the bass now. If you can afford it add a 7360a.

    Show us your Cars

    If you're driving in the evening with very little traffic, you might want to risk briefly testing your car's top speed. I haven't done that with my current car yet; it's "only" 225 km/h (140 mph) anyway. The only times I've driven faster were in driving school (about 240 km/h, 150 mph) and later...

    Most beautiful speakers in the world ?

    That's basically a movable encabulator with built-in speakers ... sweet!

    Most beautiful speakers in the world ?

    If you want to Wilson-ize your own speakers buy some fabric and these scissors. The allen screws complete the overall visual failure.

    A Call For Humor!

    When I was a child the Jehovas witnesses rang the doorbell. I opened the door and chatted with them for a while. My mother noticed that only after she had finished gardening and gave them a clear "warning". (She was raised very strictly Catholic and hates institutionalized religion now ...) Even...

    Genelec Owners Lounge and Discussion

    Reminds me of KS Digital c120, but with subwoofer in the same cabinet. Also Looks less utilitarian than the 7381.

    Active Room Treatment (ART) by Dirac

    There's a saying: "A lot (bass support) helps a lot." What is a lot depends on your own circumstances (room + audio devices) and requirements. You'll have to experiment for yourself to determine the settings offering you the best sound. The waterfall diagram after the calibration and your own...

    Active Room Treatment (ART) by Dirac

    I would be thrilled if this were to prove true for me in practice. My front speakers can play down to 40 Hz, and the two subwoofers (also at the front) down to 20 Hz. All the other speakers don't have much to offer below 80-90 Hz.

    Dirac ART is now running on beta FW for Denon Xx800H AVRs!

    This analogy is incorrect, because the "performance pack" works equally well for all models. After all, it would be easy to remove the license from one model and assign it to another. But they don't want that because it would result in fewer new licenses being sold. I transferred a Dirac license...
