My dirams came true!

My favorite one: transparent

I use both double filters and final e tips and that combination corrected any FR issues for me (I'm not treble happy in general) and actually made me really love this set. The new thing I tried with my olina recently is to EQ them to the HBB target using equaliser APO (using auto EQ settings I got from squiq.link) and that is something that even though I don't view it as a prerequisite I suggest you try as well at some point.

Well the closest thing I have around the house that can compare is an a8 2018 but I wouldn't want to spoil it for you man. Stock tips or after market? I use final e

Hey I have the OG olina as well but I can't say that I enjoy them on my phone as much as when I connect them to my desktop even with the same dongles. Which dongle/s do you use?

The New Test-iem-ent is comming!

Cool! I 've read up to Peace Talks

Well al least they protect you from werewolves. You got your money's worth.

>From my journey through the sub rabbit hole I remember people agreeing that a nice set of big 3-way towers

Totally this! What held me back (and still does) is that a change of venue is coming in the next couple of years so I'm considering the addition of a sub as a possible intermediate solution for a sound upgrade. Also, as this falls more in the 'nice to have' than the 'absolutely need to have' category for me, I'm internally debating about buying nothing now and upgrading my budget for later.

Well, choices choices I guess!

>Maybe you're looking at SB-1000 PRO that has app support (you don't need that). Plain SB-1000 goes for 499€ on amazon.de.

tough luck there: This item cannot be dispatched to your selected delivery location. Please choose a different delivery location.

this one plays hard to get!

>Is it worth it? Can's say for sure, but it is a sealed sub with 12" driver capable of going into low 20s. Hard to argue with that. Also, people seem to like it and it has good opinions on ASR forums. It might lack a bit in SPL department (ported subs usually deliver more boom per watt) but it's not this critical in near-field and certainly it has a best ratio of inches per buck spent.

it will go in the living room, this deficit in SPL might come into play a bit as it will also be used for midfield listening. Not a huge living room though as I guess it could work.

>I wouldn't look at anything smaller than 10", unless in a very tiny room.

I agree as I also think that 8'' are not future-proof enough to justify a purchace

>Choice between S10.4 and SVS is really hard, I don't envy you ;)

No worries there also! As I wrote earlier this will go into the living room so I will just let my wife pick the one she likes the most!

>Subs are notoriously hard to set up and the phase control is a must. I've lucked out with my room and placement, but it took a bit of effort and a lot of REW measurements. I also feel like I'd want to cross a bit lower, like 60-70 Hz.

well, 70hz is the point where the LSRs start to flat-line on the FR, so that would be a good place to crossover I guess.

I was also looking at the KRK subs as they seem to offer a more complete feature set. Just now checked SVS, all north of 750€ where I live. Are they worth it? KRK are much more reasonable at 300€ for S8.4 and 400€ for S10.4 for example.

Funny thing is, i was looking for subs yesterday but the LSR310s now sells for 500€!

Totally agree on the LSRs, i have them for 8 years now and these things sound much better than they should!

For some reason i can find sensitivity but not impedance figure for the oracle.

Moondrop variations seem easier to drive based on figures.

Ooor you could just get the Apple dongle and spend the extra 200 $ (insert here the equivalent for your currency) on better iems. This actually brings you to the thieaudio oracle / clairvoyance territory.

Just my 2 cents here, buy whatever makes you happy.
