BEST SPEAKER THAT COMES TO LIFE AT LOW LISTENING LEVELS
My system is as follows:
Hi I also like to listen at low volume. I have found in my experience the single driver crossover less speaker allows me to listen at low level and all musical nuance is revealed. In my opinion (and I am not alone) that a multi driver speaker with a low volume signal all that detail gets lost in the crossover. To compensate for that signal loss the volume has to be raised to allow the detail to flow. Thanks Bob

Hi I think there are many company’s who make single driver crossover less speakers. You can do an internet search, that would be the best way to familiarize yourself on this subject. I can tell you about the single driver speakers I have. They are Omega speakers out of Newtown, Connecticut https://omegaloudspeakers.com/ Give them a call and talk to Louis. He never BS’ed me ! Thanks Bob PS Single driver speakers have certain characteristics should be investigated |
@elliottbnewcombjr I have had a chance to plug this in and it is indeed a very cool piece of equipment - low level listening (from streaming) sounds really, really great. Most of my streaming listening is done at lower volume, I just don't use it to actively listen. The problem for me is switching to vinyl. There is a ton of added noise. I added a grounding cable (I never had to use one in the past) and that mitigated it a little, but not nearly enough for me to live with it. I even tried connecting the phono pre out directly to the RLC-1 and it was worse than when the phono was connected to my ARC preamp. I'm going to try playing with the location of my phono preamp to see if that makes any difference, but otherwise I confess I'm a bit of a sad panda because the concept is so cool. |
