Not here to bash the Sophia.I was going over the freq response of this speaker. I noticed by the Stereophile measurements there's a hump that starts to rise around 40Hz and continues past 200Hz. With room lift there's no telling how high the hump would be, maybe another 6 to 12 dB ? This could be the reason for the midbass problems in certain rooms as stated in previous post.From what I've read and been told ,the only way to bandaid the problem would be to use a DSP to change the time delay of the signal to the drivers and also change the slopes of the crossover.Has anyone had luck doing this?

Hey Larry if you think that's bad check out this $30,000 speaker .The company claims a response from 25hz to 60khz. A blind man can see this speaker will never make it to 25Hz with usable output.Verity Sarastro . You can get a $500 speaker with better response than this. This speaker has humps and suckouts like nothing I've seen! JA suggested blocking one of the ports to tame the midbass LOL. I couldn't imagine paying $30,000 for a speaker and using socks to make it listenable! ;-)All I want to know... does a new owner get a free reach around after purchase? |
