Speaker impedance and amplifier interactions
Some speakers are an easy load; others are more demanding than they appear. In this episode of The Audiophile’s Guide, we explore the complex relationship between speaker impedance and amplifier behavior. Impedance isn’t just a number—it changes with frequency, and that affects power delivery, tonal balance, and control. Learn how amplifier design interacts with low and reactive loads, why damping factor matters, and what to consider when matching gear. Get this right, and the system breathes as one.The Audiophile’s Guide publishes daily. Want to learn more or join the HiFi Family? Visit PS Audio...

Electrostatic Loudspeakers
Weightless, fast, and eerily transparent—electrostatic loudspeakers have a sound that captivates audiophiles like few others. In this episode of The Audiophile’s Guide, we explore how these panels work, using charged diaphragms and high-voltage fields to reproduce music with astonishing detail and delicacy. But that magic comes with trade-offs: limited dynamics, narrow dispersion, and placement sensitivity. Still, when everything lines up, electrostatics can deliver a level of realism that’s hard to forget—and harder to walk away from.The Audiophile’s Guide publishes daily.

Subwoofer Xmax
In this episode of The Audiophile’s Guide, hosts Robert and Sandra dive into the concept of subwoofer Xmax—short for maximum linear excursion. It’s a critical spec that tells you how far a subwoofer cone can move without distortion, and it directly affects how deep and clean your bass can go. They explore how Xmax impacts dynamics, headroom, and low-end authority, and why more excursion isn’t always better unless it’s backed by smart design and control.The Audiophile’s Guide publishes daily.

Class A/B amplifiers explained
Not all amplifiers play by the same rules—and Class A/B designs strike a careful balance between purity and power. In this episode of The Audiophile’s Guide, we break down how Class A/B amplification works, blending the sweetness of Class A with the efficiency of Class B. Discover how biasing, crossover distortion, and thermal performance shape the sound, and why this classic topology remains a favorite in high-end audio.

Room modes and the bass battle
Bass that booms in one spot and vanishes in another? You’re hearing room modes in action. In this episode of The Audiophile’s Guide, we dig into the invisible battlefield of standing waves, boundary effects, and the fight for consistent low-frequency performance. These powerful acoustic forces can shape or sabotage your system’s foundation.

Loudspeakers first
Forget the source, forget the amp—start with the speakers. This episode makes the case for putting loudspeakers first when building a high-end system, drawing from the principles in The Audiophile’s Guide. Why are speakers the most flawed—and most important—part of the chain? How do their limitations shape everything downstream? If you’ve ever wondered where to put your money first, this is a clear, no-nonsense look at why it all begins with the box (or the panel).The Audiophile’s Guide publishes daily.

A centered vocal with no center speaker? That’s the magic of the phantom center channel.
