Experience with stacked subwoofers?
I have seen a handful of responses to posts mentioning stacked line array subwoofers, like the stackable Rel 510s. Does anyone have a stacked subwoofer array in their system and can speak to their experience? The marketing hype that Rel puts out about this has me intrigued. Their explanation as to why it’s awesome makes sense, but also I want to go beyond the marketing and hear about real experiences before I drop a bunch of dough on something like that.
@dbastin Haha. Yes I guess you could count them that way. I certainly don’t lack any base in music or movies and the room is loaded effortlessly. I integrate them using an active crossover using 12 biquads per channel made from using Room EQ Wizard and Multi Sub Optimizer. They are all time aligned, adjusted to eliminate room modes, etc. I’ve got better base than the megabuck systems I heard at AXPONA. It is musical, accurate, no bloat or notes that sound out of key, it’s natural but will shake the room on big music transients or explosions in movies. I wish the younger generation was into this. It’s such a cool hobby, people are blown away hearing it but aren’t interested in anything technical or how it works. We all prioritize how we want to spend our time and money. |
@hifidream Do you know of a published manufacturer frequency response ( ex. -xdB@xxHz ) measurement for Kinergetics SW-800's? I get led to an SW-800 User Manual residing at Hifiengine but I'm unable to log in. |
