Top two most important sound qualities


In case you didn't know, it's 2023 and this website still hasn't implemented a polling feature, so I can't define a selection of sound qualities to choose from and see results in a grouped, organized fashion. Boo hoo!

 

If you had to pick two of the typically referenced sound qualities that are most important to you to optimizing the enjoyment of your system, what are they? You know what I mean, right? Could be a certain frequency range and some particular quality that you for in it, or any quality that applies across all frequencies, etc.

(Note: "Sound qualities" mentioned here do not include anything that refers to physical attributes of your system or listening room, such as acoustical treatments, types of components, types of source material, physical tweaks, etc. It's only a reference to subjectively appreciated qualities.)

@rauliruegas Appreciated. I’ve been looking into it lately after this was brought up by someone else recently. My sub does have a single ended HPF 80hz output, so I plan to try this today and listen for the difference.

@gladmo  : What I suggested can't do it with out an external crossover or a subwoofer with not only low pass crossover but with high pass too, this is the one that can take out from the Aerial woofer the bass range below 100hz and puts the IMD at way lower level. With out a high pass crossover filter it does not matters what you can do with one or two subs in favor to lower IMD: just can't do it.

@rauliruegas Perhaps you misunderstood what I said. My sub has a line level output with passive HPF at 80hz. Good enough for me. Noticably less distortion in the woofers and better imaging using that route to the amp.
