I have a minidsp between my pre and power amps, For my usual quite high volume listening it is in and set to get rid of some really bad room bass. Further by small very excellent Audio Physic Sitara 25 have the bass restricted to above 60Hz and the ports plugged. The bass is performed by 2 subs attached via the minidsp. If, when we have family or guests for any period and I do not use the volume so aggressively (and actually change the music I play), then the dsp comes out as do the plugs in ports. At the lower volume I don't have the horrendous base boom, its like having two completely different set ups.
Speaker polyamory -- or, stories about getting a second set to alternate with your primary
So many threads out there are about chasing the ultimate speaker -- or getting rid of speakers to try something new.
Here, I am looking for different stories.
If this applies to you, tell me about a time you had a certain kind of speaker and decided to get a second set to swap in. Maybe you had stand mounts and you wanted to swap in towers....maybe you had box speakers and wanted electrostats...maybe it was because you were super curious about a different brand...
Curious about your second, swap in speaker set...and why.
And, if you eventually fell out of love with the first pair and divorced them...feel free to confess to that, too.
Stay cool!
