My dual SVS PB3000 R/evolutions came with the SVS subwoofer eq app. It did a Great job evening out the bass. And the Ultra Evolution Center is absolutely the most important speaker. Pared with the Titan towers the Ultra bookshelf’s and six Ultra Elevation’s two as rear surrounds and four as front and rear height speakers. I’ll compare my Onkyo RZ70 and my full SVS Ultra Evolution 7.2.4 speaker set up. To any system you can buy anytime. The room sounds fantastic. Thanks for all the Great Videos!

I spent a couple of months(an hour or two a day) dialing in my Hifi Rose RA180 and Klipsch RF-7 III speakers. This amplifier is a virtual Swiss Army knife and it’s allowed me to achieve a sound that I am very happy with. I feel sorry for the old school people who go through amps and speakers because the components or their room doesn’t fit. You can literally make any speaker or room bend to your will with this amplifier, I love it!

What if you just get used to something better, then it seems normal and you're just not satisfied. Chasing something that doesn't exist.

My issue with my room is metal dome tweeters. I can't necessarily shell out ~$2-3k right now, so I would like to see if there is a way I can take the edge off the ring.

I have a MArantz Cinema 40 and I still use 5.4 and the subs are turned down .Finally sounds great after a lot of experimenting.

A short list of erroneous audio beliefs: "Tube audio equipment sounds better than solid-state equipment", absolutely false, "The type, style and cost of audio interconnects, speaker wire, power cords and ac power conditioners will affect sound quality", absolutely false, "Vinyl records sound better than CD's", absolutely false, "Vintage analog audio recording and playback equipment and storage media is superior to digital technology", absolutely false, "Human ears are superior to objective testing of audio electronics", absolutely false. This is an "absolutely true" audio fact: Microphones and loudspeakers operating within any acoustic space with walls ceilings and floors intermingling with "first boundary reflections", mixing with the original sounds in recording to the microphone, or playback through loudspeakers, will distort many thousands of times more than any other individual piece of equipment in the entire recording and playback chain. The microphone and loudspeaker "room interface" is where the "problems in audio" reside, not in electronics and not in the "emperors new wires"! David Riddle

I’ve decided room correction software like Dirac Live is bullshit.

Powered Speaker goes out: <br>"I hope the internal amplification components are not obsolete, are for purchase on the open market and that someone local can perform the repair in a way that doesn't compromise the rest of the speaker"<br><br>Amp goes out:<br>"I need a new amp"<br><br>Did you just make the last one up because 9 audiophile myths didn't seem round enough of a number?
