    Ascendo Crafted Its AIA2-10K2 IS Amplifier to Deliver Superior Home Theater Bass

    My guess is that RAM Audio is building this or it's a clone of 1 of their 10k amplifiers. They have several different models available in this and other power levels. I've personally had the 20k on my list.

    ASCENDO Introduces New Ultra-Low-Noise DSP Amplifier for Ultra-Quiet Home Theater Spaces

    It's not worth the time it takes to get that information for me. I wouldn't be able to afford it anyway. I just like to have all the information for a dream system. You know, for when I win the lottery. I was also interested in this for subwoofer duty. I saw after reading this post that...

    ASCENDO Introduces New Ultra-Low-Noise DSP Amplifier for Ultra-Quiet Home Theater Spaces

    Seems great. But, how much? My clone amps are great for loud moves, but something like Quiet Place not so much.

    How many subwoofers are you using in your main system or home theater?

    I run 2 Sterio Integrity 24 inch subs up front far field, 2 Dayton Ultimax 15 inch subs as near field, 9 JBL 12 inch drivers in a Hovereze platform. The Hovereze is for tactical response. It operates down to 1 hz and I cross it over at 65 hz.

    All time favorite Movie Thread

    I can't pick 1. I would say Outlaw Josey Wales, or The Boondock Saints.

    Surround RT and Surround Back RT flipped. REW 5.31.3

    I just ran a full system measurement before changing out my processor. This way I could check for any problems before the change that I may have not been aware of. When doing the sweeps, I noticed the sound coming from surround RT, and surround back RT were flipped when using REW. I hadn't...

    Anyone here use an oscilloscope for HT amps?

    I have used an o-scope on the signal side to set gain structure, then check output side for distortion out of the amp. On the input side the load can be unplugged as not to damage anything. On the output side, if the load is connected, I would recommend short bursts. 3-5 seconds. If you are...

    Streamer and subscriptions: How are you streaming music?

    After reading the other posts, I realized that I'm a cheap SOB. I don't pay for any streaming services (music). 95 percent of my listing is in the car. I use Pandora or Spotify. Mostly Pandora because Spotify has a commercial every other song. I think Spotify sounds better. I don't have a...

    Bowers & Wilkins Nautilus... WOW

    These were at MWAVE 2023. I thought that they sounded fantastic. I don't think it's a good idea to take out a second mortgage for a pair of speakers.

    Temporary wall ideas. Trying to create an enclosed room in rental house.

    That's the plan. They work well (for the cost). If I keep with the ultra cheap idea, I think landscaping fabric would work. 48 of those 1 foot square panels were about $80.00. I had some rockwool left over from another project. I'll need more of that. Each DIY box diffusion/absorption...

    Temporary wall ideas. Trying to create an enclosed room in rental house.

    I made these diffusion/absorption panels today. I will cover them with some fabric at some point. My work around is functioning. I know this all looks terrible. Just testing before I build the real thing with actual money.

    Temporary wall ideas. Trying to create an enclosed room in rental house.

    Update. I hung curtains with a heavy lined back. Goodwill special. I will make some diffusion/absorption panels to hang or floor stand. The curtains were enough to fool Audssey. Things sound much better now. Looks ugly as heck but I know it will work.

    Temporary wall ideas. Trying to create an enclosed room in rental house.

    I am wanting to create 2 walls to enclose my theater room without constructing things to the actual home. This needs to be removable without noticable damage to the existing space. I don't see myself moving any time soon, but you never know. I wondered about heavy curtains with a lattice...

    Features and Affordability Highlight R-Volution's New PlayerOne 8K and PlayerMini Universal Media Players

    Yes it was great to meet you as well. I'm glad to find someone in the Omaha, Nebraska area who is an enthusiast and not just a business. I wasn't trying to say anything bad about K-scape, only that this environment would provide every technical difficulty imaginable. I really like K-scape...
