  1. AV Home Theater

It just doesn't sound the best. Example, surround is too dramatic with vocals being lost, bass too low, night...
  2. Home Audio Speakers
    If a speaker has four binding posts for two times the (usual) number of speaker cables, then what does removing the binding posts (linking the two pairs) actually do? I am not clear if this by-passes the high/ low passive filter in the speaker or not. If it does not do that, I cannot see how...

    Long-time REW user here, but I just got a Tascam US-366 USB audio interface to use as my 'soundcard'. After hours of struggling to get it to work right with REW (mostly because of the Mode switch being set wrong), and not finding specific enough instructions anywhere, I figured I'd save some...

  10. REW Forum
    I've got J River 20. I can either use a UMIK, or, a calibrated mic via a Tascam US-322. The latter is what I normally use, using the Tascam's ASIO drivers. I always use the Tascam for driving the signal to my AV preamp, as the line out in my laptop does not work reliably. Can someone help...

    So, what started out as a quick little writeup about crossovers...turned into a bit more...about 60 pages more. The DIYRM-A is a Do-It-Yourself Reference Monitor....much along the lines of an LS3/5a. Can be used a bit more broadly and works better with modern music. The writeup can be found...
