Have you moved away from full range to standmount speakers + subs?
I want to know if you have been on a journey moving from a large full range speaker to a smaller one paired wit subs, maybe even four subs.
Maybe you moved away from the big speakers because you had too much bass or you got a better soundstage from the smaller speakers. Let me know what motivated you and if you think it’s better now.
My motivation for wanting to try smaller speakers.
I have the Tekton DI and until a month ago I was using a LM845P SET amp to drive them.
It only sounded good on simple jazz and vocals but on complex music everything was falling apart.
I am not playing loud but I think it was the low 2 ohm load in the midrange that made the LM break down.
I bought a used PS Audio BHK250 and pre and it was like getting new speakers. Never ever had it occurred to me that speaker and amp matching could have such a profound effect.
So I am enjoying my speakers now and listen to music I have avoided like the plague and enjoying it (:
But all of this got me thinking, what if I paired my LM845P with an easy to drive speaker and paired it with some subs?
Then the LM845 could do what it's best at, playing glorious midrange and the subs could play the bass.
So that's my motivation for trying smaller speakers.
I am also hoping that maybe I could get better and more even bass with 2 or 4 subs. Maybe a better soundstage because the small speakers have a very small baffle.

These shills go far beyond the casual acknowledgements of a satisfied customer. audition_audio my company Synergistic Research in no way supports Miller Carbon. We do not supply payments, free product, or any compensation what-so-ever for his comments which are all his own. For you, a self-professed audio retailer, to both cast shade on a legitimate end user, and a legitimate manufacturer while you shill the brands you sell, is not only transparently self-serving, but also highly actionable given the fact you are in the same industry as I. Just understand, I am watching you, and I will deal with you legally if necessary. Yours in music,Ted Denney III Lead Designer and CEO, Synergistic Research Inc. |
tomic601, I just looked at your reference system. let’s just say, you and I have a vastly different definition as to what constitutes ‘reference.’ Yours in music, Ted Denney III Lead Designer and CEO, Synergistic Research Inc. |
With the thousands of demonstrations I’ve given over the years, I never suggest anyone hear anything. I never lead the demonstration, I do AB comparisons and people make up their own minds. What we have here are a few anonymous members attacking actual audiophiles who hear differences in power cords, fuses and cables, basically everything my company and other companies manufacture, while attacking me personally and making unsubstantiated allegations both against myself, and fellow AudiogoN members. It is amusing after I call out an actual shill for attacking an end-user that the bullies come in to his or her defense, keyboard fingers flying, while saying very little, as is usual for this repetitive lot. To my friends, I look forward to seeing you at the next tradeshow. Yours in music, Ted Denney III Lead Designer and CEO Synergistic Research Inc. |
