    Bookshelfs + sub/s vs full range towers

    In my study /office I have a set of Kef LS50W and I run a PV1 subwoofer with them , really difficult integrating them properly.  I am always playing with the  sub low pass frequency and the high pass frequency for the speakers.  Granted the room is not the easiest.  Its all still very enjoyable...

    I have a second DAC which is modern and has filters and supports all the high rates etc we now get,.  The Schiit thing was an experiment which worked out far far far better than expected, so now I have two options ie two different sounding DACS to use depending on the music (something like more...

    By-passing Kef Ls50w dac

    You cannot bypass the internal DAC of the Kef ls50w. The ELAC Navis powered speaker does though let you do that.  You can though run your blue node 2i through the LS50W but you will be doing two instances of digital processing.  Many people do that though and report favourable results...

    Samsung Q80 65 vs LG OLED B9 65

    OLED is the current technology leader but if you have a bright room OLED is not always the answer.    You have to look at the environment or use case.

    onkyo tx-rz730 thoughts....

    Rz730 is a nice unit.  I have had 2 Onkyo's now have a Denon as a change.  So Denon owner. Different type of sound Onkyo more dry and may we say a little more apparent detail.  Denon warmer and maybe more involving.  Denon has Audyssey, Onkyo not, the Audyssey is definitely a plus for the Denon...
