    oh yeah and room optimization software ain't gonna solve that ... it is also that a carpet/sofa/plants/curtains are already doing a lot against the echo BUT it is so worth to go a step further; i am still in the process of balancing esthetic intrusion vs room treatment. One of the things that...

    I got the Freya S and my experience is that it depends on total system and content (quality of the recording). Before my subwoofer implementation I used x4 gain and swapped to passive sometimes - when less distortion was nicer than the extra juice you get with x4 gain. Now with my one box stereo...

    Yes, we have SONY and Philips, both excellent for the small price. Indeed don't buy those mass price dumpers - AND check product codes, also region dependent dynamics (to do crazy pricing, here in PT often same model but slightly different 'code' makes the same TV more expensive than in the...

    reminds me of a story about Steve Jobs, he took ages to find the washers that make sense to him, he ended up with Miele. I got a Miele hoover, amazingly solid and still going strong after 10 years

    I would never consider a fridge with an ice maker, I make it manually with tap water and never ever thought it added taste to my drinks, it just did what i expected: it got cold(er) :xf_cool:
