I have 10x12 room... but I have a tv setup in front of my bed. Distance between tv and my sitting is 8-9 feet. Should I get a 5.1 soundbar?

Dude.. Im not going to be scammed into paying a monthly fee!!!

you should always start with at least a couple of subwoofers… it doesn’t matter if you are a beginner in the hobbie or an expert. subwoofers are an essential part of the setup.

Thanks this advice, and the hum elimination video

I came from car audio and many of these bassheads think that since a amplifier can do 1000 watt @4 ohm 1%thd that it's great.. I can not express enough how that is terrible

Replacing polarised with non polarised. Odd.

i need a fast start TV that turns on faster than my AppleTV device. tired of waiting 45-seconds for Sony tv to boot up

No respect with Center channels here. Take that money and put them into L and R and of course you have to set up the L and R properly. Time to tell the reality. Center channel is for one thing and one thing only. If you have to sit well off axis then you need to lock that speech to the screen. Not worried about then dump the center and you will be much happier.

HSU Research's brand new TN1 subwoofer takes the best of both worlds - front facing subwoofer, but the ports are now down firing to get floor coupling

you wont get the powerful feeling if you set it up high

Very interesting, thank you!

Interesting video. I'm always interested in how things are built.

The ultimate nearfield listening experience has to be, headphones. In my lounge I have a pair of substantial floorstanders. 9.5 feet apart. My listening position is 11.5 feet from my floorstanders. In my office I have a small pair of active speakers, sat either side of my 24 inch pc monitor. I sit at arm’s length from these speakers. I class that as nearfield listening and they sound phenomenal with a surprisingly wide soundstage.

I’m unquestionably a purest. That’s how I was indoctrinated into the audiophile world. I’m also a minimalist, a prime advocate of the signal path being kept as short and uncluttered as feasible. In recent years all my family have left home to start their own families. I’ve also become mortgage free. So, I’ve now got more disposable income than I’ve ever had. I’ve seriously upgraded my hi-fi. In so doing, I’ve rigidly adhered to my purest/minimalist principles. Well mastered/recorded music is reproduced beautifully by my upgraded hi-fi. Poorly mastered/recorded music sounds exactly that, poorly recorded, often unlistenable. So, I’m actually ashamed/embarrassed to admit, I’ve placed an order for an equaliser. It’s due to arrive at the dealer in around 6 weeks, so September 2024! I’ll let you know my verdict.

Interesting stuff, thanks Andrew. It's so far on from my 1980s job of testing and burning in 15" square circuit boards from an outside vendor. Test stuff in a physics lab, hand built. One step was checking polarity of some capacitors before powering up the board. I missed backwards one and got a loud smelly kapow shortly after.

Thank you Andrew for explaining this part of the process. Like you, I'm facinated by the pick and place machine. Looking forward to you hosting the final installment of the process.

Always interesting but you do need some basic knowledge. Don't think its for everybody but I like it. Thank you.

I have a Yamaha RX-A4A and a Yamaha A-S1100 integrated amp, and recently bought a BK-sub. The sub has no hum whatsoever with nothing in it. However, as soon as I connect any cables from my amps to the sub, some noise is always heard. I tried disconnecting the cables from the amps but leaving in the subwoofer and then it's like the first situation, absolutely no hum. So it's not the subwoofer. I then tried to connect SOLELY the RCA sub out to the subwoofer with NOTHING else connected to the receiver, and the LFE-low level input still hums very faintly but only if I put the gain to 100% and in bypass mode. All of this tested with all amps in the same power outlet. I literally tried everything, and nothing seems to work. I tried a RCA ground loop isolator on the sub's RCA cable and that made the hum even louder. Either my receiver is faulty (even though through the main-in coupled with the integrated, I don't have noise coming from the main speakers), or there's something else entirely.

Hi, I'm your new suscriber. I know this is not subject...But I'm little bit confused. I'm buying my first hi fi setup. Simple 2.0. I decided to buy new Rotel A11 mk2 AB amplifier 50w at 8ohms and 62w at 4ohms. Speakers Dynaudio Emit 10 and its writen in the specs 6ohms speaker IEC power handling 150w. I will put this relativly small bookshelf speakers in my bedroom with 16 square meters and I will listen from distance of 2.5meters. I will listen on moderate to low volumes, rock and metal I will cranck litle bit stronger but thats it. Is this amp enough for my speakers. I see on youtube reviewers put this rotel with much larger speakers and they said that is great sound. My seller told me that I need much more wats for this speaker to sound properly even 100w even with small volumes to give some juice to speaker. Now I'm tot aly confused.Can you pleasre you can help me I was so hapy to purchace this setup..now...thanks in advance

Most records sound great as-is with the volume down, but IME when you turn up past a certain level, the vocals quickly get harsh. So when I want to crank it I turn on the EQ, which is set with a 2-3 dB cut in the 1K and 2K bands and a VERY small boost to the 40Hz and 80Hz bands. Never boost more than 2 dB. If you want to boost higher, cut everything else instead. If you've EQ'd correctly, the result will be quieter than with it off. But that's what your receiver's volume control is for.

I heared before 14 years Pioneer TS-S250 model tweeter. which one is excellent performence . that was only the best treble. but after that I never heared quality treble like TS-S250. That was a ceramic tweeter. can you suggest a low budget tweeter(not proffessional) for music listening under 2000INR(pair)

3 minutes into the video I found all the info I was looking for great video very informative thank you 👍🏼

MY SAMSUNG SOUNDBAR Q800B DOES NOT DECODE DTS, DTS-HD MA SOUND, IT ONLY DECODES DOLBY, IF SOMEONE COULD HELP ME WITH SOME TIPS OR ADVICE ON THE SPEAKER SYSTEM/RECEIVER OR SOUNDBAR I WOULD APPRECIATE IT, BECAUSE MOST OF MY FILES HAVE IT THE MAIN TRACKS IN DTS-HD MA 5.1, THANK YOU FROM PORTUGAL.

My subwoofer is grounded but my amp isnt is that a problem?

Insightful. Informative. I liked this.

So if it's a ground loop fault and I plug it into an ungrounded outlet, will that fix it?

Hey Axiom dude! How are drivers tested or measured for their maximum rms wattage, please? I inherited a box if old drivers all un branded, no model#, no specs. Id like to make use of them i just dont know what they can handle, so im leary to put them jnto anything critical. Thanks very much!!!

That explains why I cannot find "normal" speakers on amazon and only bookshelf or tower...and weid things called studio monitors which I dont understand

I hate that since the 90s the sound effects always drown the dialogue in movies. I dont have a home theater, center chanel etc (too expensive , ugly black shit and take too much space), just the speaker in the TV. On old tvs you didnt need hT because they had decent speakers.

I still purchase itunes tracks and download the to my ipad and my macmini. I dont want to pay subscriptions or excesive prices for high res downloads. Itunes tracks are good enough for my system which is below 200 US. I hate subscriptions that keep draining my credit card. There is just not enough good music and I prefer to own CDs and itunes tracks.

Very interesting. The reason I don't like narrow, tall speakers with an array of drivers for the same frequency range is that they produce interference patterns and consequently have terrible vertical dispersion patterns. I will always choose eg. a single 12" woofer over two 8" woofers (one above the other). Multiple midranges or tweeters is even worse.

To plug my subwoofer into the same power strip as my amp means the power cable will run parallel (literally right on top of) the speaker cables. Will having a power cable running right next to the speaker cables that connect to the subwoofer ALSO cause a hum?

I still buy from iTunes TBH I don’t like streaming services, but mainly because they overface me. There’s just too much and it’s too algorithm-heavy. I’ve tried and tried and tried with both Spotify and Apple Music and it’s just not for me. I don’t think it ever will be I get in in a small minority on that one, but it is what it is

Most of my music listening is through headphones simply because I'm at work. When I get back home I listen through speakers but by the time I get home I'm in a different mood so my listening is not attentive. On weekends and days off Im always through speakers. For me, speakers are the natural normal way to listen to music. For me, headphones are a necessity, not a preference. I listen through headphones at office simply because I have no choice. That doesn't mean I don't like headphones. I do, in fact I think only headphones can give you great 3D experience. I think even cheap headphones can give you image. However, I see no point of using headphones at home. Even at night I just turn down volume but still I'm using speakers

I love my Arcam AVR5 in my 7.4.4 setup (awesome for movies that I rate 4/5, and music 3/5). I do NOT recommend the Denon X3700H (good for movies that I rate 3/5, but not music 2/5). I do NOT recommend the Denon S760H (good price but as far as quality, for movies I rate 2/5, music 2/5). source = Apple Music lossless

When I went to rebuild a pair of older 3 way speakers, I was surprised to find that none of the old drivers had matching ohm ratings. One speaker the tweeter, was 8 ohms, another, the midrange, 6, and the third, the bass, was was 7 ohms. I replaced them all with 8 ohm drivers.

I need Speaker Feet for my tower speakers. I have zero idea where you buy them.

I prefer manual setup also I don't need that crap

I also suffer from subwoofer hum. I did find how to get it to stop, but don't know what to do next. I have an HDMI cable that goes from my cable box to a Blackbird 4K Pro splitter that has two HDMI outputs, one goes to a 55" tv and the other to my 77" tv. I found that when I disconnect either HDMI output cable, the hum stops. But, if I disconnect the INPUT cable from the cable box, the hum does NOT stop. Is the problem the Blackbird splitter? If so, what do I do about this? Any comments/help would be greatly appreciated.

Yeah you can buy albums for $15 online, no way I buy 15 albums a year, but I have to pay $150 a year in subscriptions to listen to them. Back to mp3 for me.

Smart TVs suck as the TVs lag bad after only a couple years. I set mine to auto load to HDMI 1 that is a Roku. lol

I would not call turning up the volume to make it louder a (Hack).

" How To Eliminate A Subwoofer Humming Problem"? Teach it the words!!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Don’t forget the ferrofluid…😊

The minute you mentioned equations, me 🏃‍♂️ 🏃‍♂️ 🏃‍♂️

incredible ,thank you. For my cheap subwoofer radio ,removing the wire antenna for the radio cut the noise 90%

At the beginning you mention near field as sitting closer than the distance between the two speakers. I have always heard that it was an equal distance triangle.

Nothing like à 15" in à big box.
