Adding an Sub that doesn't go well below speakers?
The backbone of my setup is based on a couple of Canor Monoblocks that feed a pair of Marten Oscar Trio. The trio are rated for 27hz (-3db), but I still feel that the system would benefit of having one or two subwoofers that help both of below 27 while also allowing more breathing space for the speakers.
I was considering a couple of REL T5X because of the little footprint as well as the high line connections (the amps don't have a dedicated low-level sub out). But just before pulling the trigger, I saw that the T5X is rated at 37hz (-6db).
Would it make sense to add them to the system? Doesn't sound right. I know probably the Martens roll off above 27, but perhaps 37hz sub is too high for my system.
Perhaps a T9X that goes to the same 27hz? Or do I definitely need to splurge and do for an S series, like the S510 that is rated at 20 hz? If I do an S510 I will do just one and add a second once my wallet recovers.
Well, would love to hear from you.
@hilde45 "then, the phase control is used to align the sub with the main speakers." How do you do this? Are you using your ears or a mic and software? I don't think my ears can pick it up phase difference between a main speaker and a sub (let alone two subs). Sometimes I feel like a fat guy that can't cook. |
@javipi I would check out the Rythmik subs as well. If I recall, they go lower then the REL (double check) and have servo feedback. |
