I’m 85 miles away. I will be stopping by to visit and audition gear. My first experience with Modus AV was receiving a phone call from Marc after sending an online inquiry. We had a brief conversation and he invited me to the Listening Lounge to audition the speakers I asked about. I was impressed with his passion for audio and two-channel stereo systems along with customer service. Can’t wait to visit. Nice to see you two together. 👍🏼🎶
Holographic 3-D sound. What’s gonna get you closer to that place. The power amp or the preamp? And I know the room, as well as other components can play a big part in this. Not to mention the recording. But Power amp or preamp?
Interesting question. A case can be made for either one but we think the amplifier has more impact on the overall sound of a system since it’s directly controlling the drivers in the speakers.
We’re audio files. We want to listen to music as the artist intended. I personally loaf every time I hear the comment ,”as the artist intended”. But I do love great sound. And would love to see this hobby grow & really take off.
Me on a never ending search for HIFI that also haz "quantity", active speaker that are so utterly crystal clear as to accurately reproduce the sound of a hair bristling on a bald musician, yet at the at the same time so loud that you can only hear any of it after you drained the blood out of your ears and replaced your eardrums with promising looking stem-cells. But nooooo.
Some people prefer to run their main speakers full-range without any high pass filter and then bring in the sub to fill in just the lowest frequencies at the natural roll-off point of the main speakers. Works really well if your mains are "full-range" loudspeakers or if you just want to reinforce sub-bass.
