Getting the most out of my Definitive Tech bp2000's
I was wondering if I could get some help getting the best and most sound out of my DefTech bp2000 speakers. I'm fairly new when it comes to home Audio, so be patient with me. I recently aquired the bp2000 speakers along with 2 Marantz MA500U monoblick amps. I know that the bp2000's are Bipolar and have a built in amp for the subwoofer. Will it produce a better sound if I take the bridge off of the h/m/l terminals on the back of the speaker and use the mono block amp for the mid/high speakers on it? I know my reciever (Denon AVR-9010) puts out 90 watts per channel, is that enough for the DefTech speakers? It's all a bit confusing to me

Well you got a really good deal so I guess you should try to make them work. Everyone is trying to be helpful, but missing the mark. The big problem with those speakers is the powered subs. No matter where you place the speakers or how much you adjust the amp/crossover you will never get tuneful bass. That speaker was first and foremost designed with home theater in mind. Listen to some music with well recorded kick drum or acoustic bass and you will discover the problem very quickly. This is a design issue and all the room treatments and speaker placement techniques won’t make it go away. Good luck to you. Oz |
@ozzy62 what is the difference between the powered bass in these speakers compared to a different one? Why is that a bad thing when listening to music and not a bad thing when set up for movies? Honest questions. I appreciate the advice. Yeah, as far as the distance off the walls go, I'm not sure if people realize it has the 3 speakers projecting out the back of the unit. I do notice a significant incease in sound and clarity the further I pull it away from the wall. |

So no wall is better, or closer to A wall is better? Away from the wall causes uneven bass responses, BUT WHERE? Not in my seated position... Gatling gun the bass?.. LOL Even bass is not an issue unless your ears are everywhere. The whole house pays the price for pooly place bass enclosures... If it's even, it's EVERYWHERE. Good yes, great NO.... Above 100hz is very directional... There is a lot of sound between 100 and 300 hz, So I direct it, NOT spread it... Then kill it, or loose it Distortion goes through the roof....in the bass region with "BASS everywhere" Just an OK way to do thing, at best.... Regards |
