🎧 Hey there, I’m Lachlan! 🎶 If you love great sound, you're in the right place. With a background in music, tech, and a degree in hearing and speech, I break down the world of audio gear in a way that's fun, insightful, and easy to understand. I've spent 25+ years playing piano, violin, and viola, and I’ve worked in the consumer audio industry - so I know what makes sound truly sing. Whether it's headphones, speakers, amps, DACs or streamers, I go beyond just reviews to explore why things sound the way they do and to share some knowledge along the way. With me, you can expect deep dives, honest takes, a lot of curiosity and a bit of fun along the way. Ready to make your music sound better than ever? Let’s go!

I've gotten a lot of requests to share my subwoofer setup process, so in this video I'll be sharing how I get my stereo subwoofers to disappear and sound like they're just a part of my main speakers. Whether you have an SVS, REL, or JL Audio sub, these principles of subwoofer placement, crossover, gain, and phase adjustment will apply to help you get the best bass response for your audio setup. Many of these concepts will also work for home theatre, but this video is focused on two-channel listening. If you're looking for how to set up a sub to get the most from your speakers, this is the video for you! BEST AUDIO BARGAINS BELOW!
