@jc4659 It's quite likely I've seen that before and it's stuck with me. Unfortunately that (relatively) ugly plate amp is not going to want to be seen. :)
I bought 4 subwoofers and I'm absolutely not doing a DBA! Hah!
I just received shipments of 4 subwoofer drivers and they will not be going into a distributed bass array.
I'm replacing my left and right speaker stands with powering subwoofers with 2 subwoofer drivers each. I call them powering because they will be powering the 2-way monitors that will sit on top. Here's a beauty shot of the insides.
The amp has all the DSP power I could need to produce perfect speaker measurements. I wonder if JA at Stereophile would wax poetically if I priced them high enough??

@erik_squires seems like lots of fun. Thanks for sharing. At AXPONA, SVS was demoing their surround system. Sitting down. I felt the bass in my body and it shook my clothing. Not my cup of tea as I like crystalline highs and involving midrange. Speaker and room coupling, haven’t seen your room treatments promoting lately which is important without overdoing it. |
Lol @erik_squires not only are you razzing the dba crowd, but also the passive speakers only crowd. Good on you for doing what works best in your setup. I recently upgraded my subs to a pair of Rythmik F8 and absolutely swear by it. Small, light weight drivers in a sealed box to pair with my sealed box monitors and a high pass filter to keep everything separated. As for isolating the monitors, Isoacoustic Orea have worked really well for my setup. We want photos when things are up and running. |
well good for you doing what works best for you ! |
@audiokinesis - duke, may I ask about your sense of things, all things room and equipment equal, if you feel that a distributed bass array will still give better bass accuracy, depth and cohesion with mids and highs than what erik is working on? Or is there too little known in his particular implementation to say? Thanks much : ) In friendship - kevin |
