I do not question the professional measurement results and they are physically important and correct. But on the elitist" Audio Sience " platform, acoustics is considered exclusively on the laws of physics. There, loudspeakers are scientifically deployed to reveal their weaknesses. It seems to me as if they are searching for the perfect sound source. The combination of audio components and loudspeakers have only one purpose, the transport of musical emotions and these cannot be reflected in measurement diagrams.

bookshelf can´t deliver the same bass power like floorstand speaker. The R 820 F had great test reviews in the german hifi magazines an a best buy for the money ..sounds dynamic and balanced; good resolution, controlled basses; high level stability; clean and robust finish.....

Nice TT , hope to see you in the vinyl record spinning thread. So what about the AT Cartridge with the Shibata Needle, got it as well ?

I was out for lunch ...back again. Yes I´m german and greece is an so much impressive country. My best friend in germany is a greek as well, he came from kreta . Hope that you´re getting the R 820F a.s.a.p. as well as the Denon AVR. Enjoy your set-up. I´ll know how important a solid audio gear is in the mens world.

Greece .wonderful , I´ve been in Kreta, Athens, Thessalonikki, Kos .....because of your " van " in front of " kyra " ....the netherland and belgiums have also a " van " in front of their names. that´s why I thought you´re coming from there .....

Thanx for your kindness. You were under pressure yesterday and overloaded by too much information ......Where are you from Netherlands ? Begium ? east Europe or Scandinavian ?

Annoying ? ...Not at all, you´re welcome anytime Using the audyssey software in the Denon, you will be able to calibrate the different volume levels of the speakers on all individual channels. This will eliminate volume differences.

In the case of loudspeakers, we speaks of an impedance curve which is indicated in ohms.It varies between 4 ohms and 16 ohms, the 8 ohms are an average value, Impendanz Diagram Klipsch R 820 F between 2 und 50 Ohm The power of the Denon X 1600 H is absolutely sufficient, considering the sensitivity of 97 dB, which we already discussed yesterday.

Here I show you the effort I make to produce a loudspeaker cable

@babadono .... the above shown tec specs from my RCA Cables are used in the best music production studios. Sometimes up to 50 km of cable are used for one studio which adds up to the total. Of course, these losses are practically non-existent with 1m ( 3 foot ) long cables for our home applications. But that's exactly what all these cable layers are about. Cables, whether power- rca- speakercables have no component status. Cables can´t sound as always claimed among audiophile ears. Cables have physical properties that vary depending on the material used and the cable geometry. The task of a cable is the loss-free and unaltered transmission of musical information. Nothing else . And here we are at the point where it becomes important to create these conditions. Means : Connectors with absolutely low contact resistance, the cable geometry and material mix of the cable itselfe as well as the shielding are the decisive factors. Example Cabel Geometry ( Star Quad Design ) Here I show you the effort I make to assamble a power cable...

Denon X 1600 H

@Islander said .... Radio Paradise, a Net Radio station from Southern California near San Diego. They play music from the Sixties up to 2020, and use AAC encoding. Yes Sir, I´ll listen to the same radio station since a couple of years from germany right away. Great Music, Great Fun, Great Sound !

Of course it works with box speakers as well , not with OB only. The loudspeakers are correctly set up when the Loudspeaker as acoustical source can no longer be localized. This means that the stage front ,depth and width can be clearly located between the L's and even mixing effects can be heard near the left and right of the speakers. In addition, the speakers must not only stand free in the room, i.e. away from back and side walls, but also be placed in front of the audio racks rather than between it. Then the depth staggering in the stage image is also projected back and front into the room. The singer always stands in front of the band, at least during studio productions or on the same level with the band. The solos of certain instruments must be clearly locatable and delimitable.The whole sound spectrum should be balanced at the listening position, from brilliance to sub, and should not have any emphasis in certain FQ spectra, except for the sonic virtues attributed to them, e.g. ... "especially strong bass " . But drums and the bass, the instruments themselves, never tend to hum.

What is the situation with hybrid solutions? With my Marantz PM11-S3 I only use the transistor preamplifier, I have decoupled the transistor power stage and connected 2 tube mono blocks as power amplifiers.

Friendly speaking ..Dear Gentlemen .... What´s the topic subject ? DIY Audio Cables Should now all worldwide leading cable suppliers like Mogami, Sommer Cable, Funk Cabel, Cordial Cabel, Wireworld Cabel, Straight Wire Cabel, Supra Cable, Ohelbach Cable, Gold Cabel Germany, Silent Wire Cabel, Furutech Cables, Oyade Cable etc.etc be listed now or does anyone of you is goinig to present a self assembled loudspeaker-power or RCA cable. Would be nice to see how others doing it .

I ordered those this morning ...nice copper badges for my RF7 MK II SE . They´ll fit perfectly. Will look like little " crowns " for my Queen. Hope to receive them before Christmas . Thanx again @RandyH000

perfect summary @billybob

hungry now ...DINNER TIME in Germany 7pm. see you later aligator LOL

Yeah he shall make a decision without beeing under pressure....Time enough

JDM at work

The Onkyo TX-NR696 is 7.2

LOL not at all

NO !

LOL TWO SUBASSES , that is what you´re looking for, so you need an AVR with 7 channel and option for two active subbasses
