The manual says that the volume goes up in 1dB steps from 0db to 78dB with the limit in place and 0dB to 100db with it removed.

I use Logitech Harmony Hub to do this job - it works well

When listening to music, I usually stay a couple of dB below the max with the safety limit on, because that's the level that brings the most enjoyment. So for my use, the additional available volume isn't necessary. Also, I would not want to take Boazu up to the point where it clips or otherwise deg...

The ghost of a possibility of another Boazu version got me thinking: what would be in my wishlist for V2?? Well I love the following about Boazu: 1. The music 2. No source selection 3. The colour coded volume 4. The mute behaviour and remote control features ... in that order. What do I think is mis...

Listening on headphones from phone browser while travelling on a tram to work .... I was torn between B and C.

B has a more engaging sound - it immediately grabbed my attention - but after a couple of listens I found C draws me into the music more.

So my preference:
1. C
2. B
3. A

I think I have a spare GS108T I could lend for tests

Exciting!!! I'll start saving.

For clarification, I've never removed the upper volume limit when listening to Boazu, so my comment relates to listening up to the 'child safety' limit.

I found with Hakai as source that it could get a bit raw when I turned the volume up to max, so I suspect what you're hearing is the limitations of the source, not the amplification.

With Källa or Axis as source I can take Boazu as loud as it will go and there's no loss of magic. If anything, it just gets better as it gets louder.

It's very important to secure the internet router and gateway. Make sure that you have changed the administrator password and the firmware is up to date. Make sure at all your WiFi access points are secured with non default passwords and the most secure authorisation that your router supports. Disab...

I couldn't find any posts regarding Netgear GS108T.

Even if it does have security flaws, it's not going to create security weaknesses for those of us using it with an internet router, since the internet router provides the defenses against external attack, not the Netgear.

Spannko wrote: ↑2024-02-13 23:48 Since you can solder, have you thought about soldering links directly on the crossover board inside the speaker?

Hmm. Good question. That hadn't occurred to me. Thanks for the suggestion - I'll take a look at it.

Thanks for sharing David. Just goes to show the value of a bit of curiosity ...

Hi fi systems are so complex in their interactions, that it's worth being prepared to explore every now and then.

Some time ago I noticed that the K400 'jumpers' I was using in addition to the connecting plates to connect the three pairs of passive drive inputs on my Espeks were fraying. I removed them for inspection and they pretty well fell apart. I replaced the plates without the K400 and it was immediately ...

Thanks for sharing your experience Hermann, and great to hear that you and Fredrik were able to get direct to the root cause.

I assume using a mobile internet connection rather than a cable/landline?

Effectively makes the set up 'mobile'

What a cool experiment.

How did you arrive at the position of the super tweeter? Does it make a difference if you move it forward or backward?

Do you have the speakers on the long wall? My room is a complex shape as the whole floor is open plan. The wall behind the speakers is recessed by about 60cm. This was designed to reduce the intrusion into the room of the speakers. This wall is shorter than the distance to the facing wall. However,...

I advise you to scroll some pages back in this thread There are really good examples of good/right sounding clips and some outstanding ones. That way you can get familiar with “the tune” I have followed Sopper's advice on this ^^^ in the past and found it very helpful in gaining confidence that I'm...

Yes. I need to let go of my rather abstract desire to lock the speakers in place - they are still perfectly enjoyable despite a little bit of wobblyness.

Can you mount the TV on the wall? Covering with a thick blanket should also improve music listening - certainly works for the radiator in my office. I have found in the past that throwing a rug over the TV improves things a little. I have also wondered about wall-mounting the TV. Sounding really go...

Forgot to mention that I think your system sounds great without sound absorbers. Maybe you should just leave it as it is. :-) Thanks! The speakers are not immobile, but they are as solid as I can make them without removing the carpet. I tried removing the skeets, but this did not make them less lia...

Thanks everyone for your help and kind comments. My wife and cat also prefer without! I wasn't sure, but I think as Spannko observes, this is a case of being distracted by the sound away from the tune. Normally I am happy to listen to the music anywhere in the room, but with the panels in place I fi...
