Now that's just too much. You could pretty accurately reproduce an F-15 at full after burner. If it was a good recording.

Even if it was a crap recording... at that SPL you couldn't tell the difference.

Just think, at 139db. It would take 4,800 watts.

I'd pre-learn some sign language before attempting that

I'm excited for next week. I have it off and I'll be getting a new mm cart. Sadly my mc high output cart runs out of volume on my mm pre. It's the Nakaoka MP-200. Very SMOOTH, warm and dynamic. Needle doctor will install it.

The asked me to bring my TT in

it'll be on display in their store front. Powered with pricey Rogue Audio tube amps

I'll take pictures for sure.

I never listen beyond 100db. My ears are more important.

I have 1000 watts going into 101dB sensitive speakers, I think Matt is thinking straight and I'm pretty sure he just may NEED an XPR-2

It was too much fun!

Hahaha just a bottle of CLR. It was under the sink from last owner. There's still so much to do

It's all worth it

The moving process is always a pain, so much work. I don't envy it at all

My friends always make fun of me for never looking like I've moved in, regardless of the house I'm in. I try to tell them that I've just prepacked for the next time I move by not unpacking. Think of all the work I've saved myself.

I really like your stuff. You can never have too large woofers...

Rest assured those wooden slats before the windows play a big role in sound dispersing and helping to produce a sharp stereo image. Even the ones before the small window on the left since they are at first reflection point.

I am obviously planning substantial sound absorbers in the HT, but also some recessed absorption elements in the main living room, where the Jamo's go. Those wooden slats of yours are also worth considering for our space, with huge glass surfaces.
