System configurators

Build a system and have every pairing explained from the registered specs — load, power, channels, HDMI/eARC, phono resonance — with the provenance behind each call. A deterministic rules engine, not an opaque recommender. Each build is a shareable link.

🔊
Stereo system

Pick a speaker or amp; get the most compatible match with explained impedance-load and power-for-sensitivity checks, plus an optional source.

902 speakers · 552 amps · 527 sources
🎬
Home Theater

Choose a layout (2.1 → 9.1.6); find processors that can drive it and check your source’s HDMI/eARC/Atmos path to the speakers.

91 processors/AVRs · 34 source devices
💿
Phono / analog

Match a cartridge to a tonearm by resonance (the 8–11 Hz window) and to a phono stage by gain and MM/MC type — the maths setups get wrong.

148 cartridges · 54 tonearms
