    Cataloging your DVD, Blu-ray, 4K, UHD collection?

    I have used My Movies on Mac and devices for years and they sync to the database. Lost track of how they bill me now since things have changed in recent years. I do not add titles as often as I once did nor do I lend DVD/BluRay discs since retirement. When I remember, I scan a couple of new disc...

    Speakers sensitivity

    Agreed, I got my LCR monitors around the end of 2022 so only have a couple of years with them. I picked up the 1961 Heights for surrounds in 2023 when they were closing out stock to replace some old surrounds which was a good move as much better speakers than I had. I have a narrow basement...

    Speakers sensitivity

    The Arendal 1961 Monitor is a sealed speaker and bass response starts falling off a little above 100 Hz and drops approx linearly to 47dB @ 25 Hz. I have run CO at 80, 90, 100Hz as Arendal tends to recommend the 90 & 100 CO's with the 1961 series. There is a small difference that is noticeable...

    Speakers sensitivity

    I think your are right, it is a sickness and should be treated as such. My wife would ask where I could get immunized… I could actually spend more but the room is poor and that is not easily fixed which is my current investigation.

    Speakers sensitivity

    My wife has been that way since the beginning. Everything sounds fine to her and the picture is fine also. The 1961 monitors were smaller than previous speakers so that helped. I may have to go with something other than black to placate her the next time.

    Speakers sensitivity

    I also have the Arendal 1961 monitors for LCR and 1961 heights for surrounds. In addition to your specs, the speakers are 4 ohm and do take a solid amplifier to power at higher sound levels given the lower sensitivity. I added a Buckeye Class D power amp for all channels to keep my Denon X3800H...

    Magic = Audyssey One by OCA (Obsessive Compulsive Audiophile) + REW John Mulcahy's free and amazing Room EQ Wizard (REW)

    I don't, all are set at 80 by Audy One. Are you looking at the sub phase which can be 0 or 180˚ on my unit?

    Magic = Audyssey One by OCA (Obsessive Compulsive Audiophile) + REW John Mulcahy's free and amazing Room EQ Wizard (REW)

    Thanks, I have been working with Audy over a year and also Dirac since December and have not concluded that one is better than the other. I thought I would give Audy One a shot and see how it goes. Just tested with a few concert songs and it seems ok, will have to try on wider range of source...

    Magic = Audyssey One by OCA (Obsessive Compulsive Audiophile) + REW John Mulcahy's free and amazing Room EQ Wizard (REW)

    Just tried OCA Audy One today, all went well after I figured out I needed the Beta version for my Mac. A couple of questions/observations: Audy One sets my LCR at the same distance even though the center is closest and Audy shows that. Speaker trims are lower than Audy (1-2 dB) The sub...
