Subwoofers and Crossovers.
My system is Cary DMS-550 / Luxman L-507uxii / Spendor D7.2
After researching I decided to add an active crossover and two stereo subs to the system.
I am looking for some advice from people who have walked this path before me on both the active crossover and the quality of D110s.
I would appreciate any advice on this process of integrating subwoofers into a two channel audio system.
@fittebd , Thanks, in fact I have been leaning towards getting Rhythmic F12SE instead of JLs along with the CR-1. I may have to add a DSP just for the subs.
@audioman58 Thanks, it is tempting to look at SVS or ML for DSP, but I am still leaning towards Rhythmic F12s |
I have owned the Rythmic12 before the JL audio , the Svs gives you free shipping to try it for 45 days ,will even give you 45 days to check it out ,if not happy ,they give you a refund as well as free return shipping , very good tech support ,and a 5 year warranty ,they put their $$ where there mouth is ,the others Donot ! And if you look in their over stock dept even cheaper and 5 % off on top of it if you buy 2 . If you can afford the Svs 4000sb they wipe the floor with all others in the $1600 price range , even the smaller 3000sb which was very good and tons of best of awards , the 3000sb weighs 50+ lbs the 4000sb 102 lbs and only a few inches bigger but driver alone is 44 lbs could not be happier. |
I owned the predecessor to the 4000SB, not even close to musically as good as the Servo technology in a Rythymic. Its also listed on SVS for 1899 right now. Never owned a JL, have heard wonderful things about them. They compare closer to a REL. SVS way too boomy for me. It could hit the notes, and had the spl, but just a much different sound. But if big boom is what you want, yes the price is right, go for it. Everyone has diff. taste. For music you cannot be old fashion servo. If you had an older Velodyn before they ruined themselves, Rythmik servo is for you. The 12 for me was too small. I was thinking 2 15" ones but you run into cancelation and its hard to dsp with that. So I got the dual 15 version which avoids that. Add the CR-1 (this is really the must have for subs and music) and Roon DSP paired with my Sopra 2 the sound is so seemless. Even the bass heavy Billie Eilish tracks sound smooth and not bloated. |
