Completely opposite of my experience and that of many clients who use their products. Not that it makes any difference, but did you buy from an authorized dealer or buy used? Since you haven't noted that you were working with your dealer, I assume you bought used.

I have two of their Ascendo DSP4-10K2 amps [rack mount] for about 2 years. Never a hick up. My guess about this new amp pricing would be that it will be expensive, just like the ones I have [but you get what you pay for]. I, too, will be anxious to hear more about what they offer vs what I...

At the moment, I have the equivalent of ten 18's [actually consists of 4 18s and 1 32"]. My room is 3400cf. 1 or 2 quality subs [in a reasonable sized room] will enable one to "hear" from 20Hz north. Add more subs [room size dependent] , and one can begin to "experience" the bass , adding...

I have that disc as well. And demo it quite frequently. I have no remembrance on what speakers they used. That is really a "classic" demo disc and the organ piece is still the most "you are there" moment I have ever heard. A distant second is the tractor coming up the left side of the room...

Living room TV? Maybe every 5 to 8 years. But this is NOT our primary movie viewing source as we have a theater using a projector. It gets upgrades about every 2 ro 3 years. We have another TV [workout room] which has never been upgraded in the 15 years we have owned it. We no longer have a TV...

10 years ago, when 3D audio was announced at the 2014 CEDIA, several of the demo spaces used a recording [done in Auro 3D] of an organ playing in a large, empty and reverberant church. THAT was the closest experience I have EVER had to "I was there". Was it as accurate as full pipe organ? Not...

Post deleted. I posted my comments above.

The last decade has offered me lots of opportunities to upgrade [and spend LOTS more $$] due to new features or technologies: Speakers: Upgraded to an all Wisdom Audio Line Source system. The sonic differences between line source vs point source, dispersion pattern, and seat to seat...

Thank you. The room is a great place to watch movies, listen to music [which I do so more than watch movies] - and a quiet place to pray. As for the C.S. Lewis quote, given the state of our world [and our country] as it fits into the Book of Revelation, folks should give strong consideration...

Answered above. Go HERE. Either will get you great image improvement, but at the moment, I find the Lumagen to be more stable while the Envy has a better UI and a few more features. Both with good customer support.

Lumagen vs MadVR Envy [in my case, the Extreme]: Image vs image, I see no value of one over the other [possible exception being the Envy Motion AI] Product stability: Lumagen. I continue to have these random issues with the Envy where the image just dies and the only fix is to either reboot the...

I think "settling point" is safer than "I'm done", so I will now adopt that as my position.

Same room, same screen, all else has been changed --- multiple times. Projector: JVS RS??-->Sony ?? (4K)-->JVC RS55 -->JVC RS4500-->JVC RS4100 Video Processor: None-->Lumagen 4242-->MadVR Envy Extreme Mod I Audio Processor: Marantz (?)-->Marantz 7702-->Datasat RS20i-->Trinnov Altitude Speakers...

For another data point, I have an Earthworks M30 [very recently factory recalibrated and I have an electronic cal file] and a bunch of other much less expensive mics [but each with their own cal files]. The most substantive measurable differences between them [when each is used with the...

In REW, what are the proper Frequency Dependent Window settings (and/or other settings) to use to get the most accurate low end (south of 20Hz) frequency response (not concerned about phase)?
