Good try. But I think I am in love.

Thanks, y’all.
They’re coming on Saturday. Then I’ll tinker incessantly for the rest of my life.
My wife resents deep frequency dives. She likes small boxes. She’s indifferent to my fascination with sound. I like her anyway.
|
Version two. I’ve got an older Musical Fidelity a 308 integrated amp, and recently introduced a Moon Mind 2 streamer and a Denifrips Pontus 2. I think the subs will finish things off for me, but you never know when a future audio itch needs scratching, do you?
Anyway, having started modestly just a few years ago, I think I have great-sounding compatible components now.
|
Oh my God, I guess the audio gods take their cue from the golf gods. I had no idea.
I am now saying quite loudly that I will never finish off my system and I will always want to buy more and more and more and more. What I need to do is to develop an allergy to cables and room treatments.

If you buy two subs from the outlet page, there’s a code to get a 5% discount.
|
A question to posters on this thread: in what order did you play around with the variables in order to integrate? I’ve got a line on a couple of things to do right away, and then after that it’s a mystery to me about what to do on the SVS app to get the sound dialed in.
|
my motivation is music, but the TV is routed through the amp and the speakers, so we’ll see what happens there. As I said before, my wife doesn’t like low rumbling and big explosions sounds and such, so it could be that we will turn them off when we watch movies. I have a feeling that she thinks she doesn’t like that, but when she hears things through the subs, she’ll realize that there’s a good version of those lower frequencies that she’s never experienced. We will see.
|
Sunshadow, thank you. I appreciate your help.
|
I already had an amp i liked when i bought my speakers used for only $3,300.
|
When you used the SVS app to set them up, does it adjust both of them together or do you have to do them separately and get them to match?
|
Since these are side firing subs, aiming one side at the wall would mean the other would be firing toward the listening position. Is that what you mean?
|
OP here. The subs arrived today and so far so good. I’ve been fiddling for an hour or two, but most of the adjustments don’t seem to make much difference one way or the other, other than the low crossover point and the volume.
My system definitely sounds fuller and richer, but I wish the lower bass notes were crisper and more well formed. Probably, I need to do more fiddling to get that, or perhaps it’s just the nature of my room and where I need to put the subs.
Anyway, there’s my report.
|
Thanks for reminding me about the break-in period. In my excitement over new gear, i forget several important things, such as this and turning off my Loki.
Unfortunately, there is absolutely nowhere for the subs to be besides where they are--peeking out from behind the mains. If I were single... maybe, maybe not. It's a weird, open space.
|
I would mostly call it a large room with a vaulted ceiling, but one of the speakers has a short throw to the glass wall while the other goes out into a lot more space. There’s seven corners in the main part
with a hallway going off one end and a stairway going off beside one of the speakers. It is. an open floor plan to a kitchen that has two doors to other rooms that are open. There’s a variety of furniture and stuff to break up waves. Only two short walls even have space for pictures on the walls or speakers since all the other parts of the room are floor to ceiling glass. All in all, I consider it to be a difficult room, but there are no right angles or places for waves to bounce and each other head on, so I suppose that’s good.
I’d be interested in anyone’s point of view. about my room from an acoustic or a subwoofer angle.
|
unfortunately, anything bigger would require rearranging furniture and switching wives. I had hoped that adding two of these would make a big difference. We don’t need the explosions and rumblings from movies, we’re just looking for lower frequencies in music. Once they break in, we will see…

I talked to SVS and my wife. The former convinced me to upgrade to 2 SB3000s because of my large, complex room. The latter begrudgingly agreed to an experiment with the bigger speakers, reserving veto power. The best place to put them would entail moving a table 4 inches into the breadth of a doorway,. That was a firm no. I'll figure it all out when they get here.
