2channel

A few months after the youngest child moved out during college, my wife suggested we turn his old room into an office for me. In turn, I suggested a 2-channel stereo room instead, paperwork is so 1980's. She is a wonderful lady and got fully on board. Built on a relatively modest budget in a...

I am interested in purchasing a small amplifier and 2 bookshelf speakers. I want to spend around $100. I understand the limitations at this price point. I am currently using a small $30 Pyle amplifier and Dayton Audio B652 bookshelf speakers. They are cheap and sound cheap. Does anyone have a...

Anyone have experience or comments on the Parasound Halo P5 2- channel pre? A few features are catching my eye: 2.1 with analog bass management; adjustable high and low pass crossovers; built in DAC with usb, optical, coax inputs; phono inputs; and home theater bypass to name a few. The...

This is a follow-up to the thread I posted a few weeks ago seeking help to primarily improve my 2-channel sound. Although I'm still thinking about a different amp, I'm pretty much done upgrading my equipment. I added the ML ESLs as well as ML C2 center, ML LX16 rears, and a second PSA V1500...

I like the looks of the NanoAVR from MiniDSP. It checks a box that has been a slight concern for me. Pioneer throws away LFE content below the x-over selected rather than mixing back into the mains. Granted it's a meager portion of the content and truth be told only an issue when a post...

All, I have a basically new Europower/Behringer EP2500 Amplifier. There is no visible wear and functions perfectly. This thing was used for a few moths when i was in college but then stored away in its original box and not used. It has been stored indoors the entire time -- never in a garage...

Over a decade ago, a friend of mine introduced me to his two channel audio system. At the time, I was just getting into home theater audio so I had just invested in a system for this purpose, but hadn't given much thought to the audiophiles chasing that special sound out of just two speakers...

I'm looking for a new subwoofer project, I have some experience (previously build a 200L Tempest ported HT sub and a couple sealed Shiva 12" subs). I am looking for a sub to complement my 2-channel setup, my setup is: Cambridge Audio 540A amplifier with Adire Audio HE 10.1s, nothing too fancy...

Here is my shot at an outline/plan, mainly to get us thinking. Flexibility & variations are expected. Thoughts? GOALS Help Sonnie pick a favorite pair of speakers Help Sonnie pick a favorite tube amp Arrive at optimum setup for imaging & soundstage Document process & results for writeup &...

I'm looking at buying a used multi-channel preamp-processor to be used as a two channel stereo preamp. Thoughts?

Here is the latest picture, like 30 minutes ago, of my main 2-channel rig in the living room. Clearaudio Champion II table with SME 309 arm and Benz Micro Glider cart Shanling CD-T1500 SACD player McIntosh C36 preamp Music Fidelity M1DAC and a tube VU meter next to it PS Audio Quintessence...

Hello all and thank you for having me aboard In short my history 18 years ago I've been vieuwing movies in surround for over 18 years now but never gave it much attention ( cousins old speakers and dad's spares+ a Kenwood krf-V5020 surround receiver.... and a Barco old television Movies...

Hello, new user here. I am using the REW software to help sort out my two 2-channel music only systems. While I am just starting to understand what is going on, I was wondering if there are stereo experts here that might help out. I'm going to try and post a graph here of one of my systems...

Well, I have been reading and watching and clicking and comparing... I think my eyes are going to fall out. History: I not-long-ago built the infamous DIY speakers, Natalie P, in full tower form. I have been driving them off a DIY tripath amp. They sound great, but I really want something...

Hi. I'm curious about the preferred listening habits of readers of this forum. If given a choice of 2 channel or 5.1 on a SACD, which do you usually choose? What are the main factors that affect your choice? If it's an older recording like Dark Side of the Moon that was recorded in stereo, which...

Just registered in hopes of learning more about the famous REW software and how it might potentially help me optimize my 2-ch music system by helping me find the ideal listener and speaker placement, identifying what frequencies need to be tamed with treatments, and what, if any, EQ should be...

Dear experienced members,:wave: I have a rather well acoustically treated listening room - with mostly absorption 100mm melamine foam (covering whole ceiling, side walls and speakers rear) and full RPG-diffusion at Listening rear wall. But so far I have not done any frequency measurement for...

I have the Logitech Z-680 powered speaker/sub setup for my computer. My room is fairly small, I have a rather loud computer, and I never watch movies in there anyway. I do like to enjoy cd's/mp3's as I work, though. I really like the setup, and it's served me well, but I'd like to try and make...

Hi, I know I probably going to get the rath of a lot of you......and I probably deserve it. I do smoke in my 2 channel dedicated 11'x13' listening room. I know this is probably a big "NO NO", but after a long hard day at the office, I really enjoy a couple of cold beers and to a smoker...
