| Subwoofer for classical music listener Wolf_Garcia 6-4-2017So, be like me, do what I do, and everything will be fine. Hi Wolfie,Your advice is good, as usual, for many circumstances. But I suspect that understandably you haven’t read through a lot of this lengthy thread. If you had don... | |
| B&W ASW 675 Subwoofer with Creek Evolution 100A? I agree with Dweller. After looking at the manuals and descriptions of both components I suspect the reason the sub is described as "not suitable for use with 2-channel integrated pre/power amplifiers" is that with integrateds such as the 100A tha... | |
| Subwoofer for classical music listener PPS: Rvpiano, ignore my last post. In addition to the fact that you’ve already ordered another sub, I’m uncertain as to whether the DC blocking devices I referred to would be suitable for use when monoblock amplifiers are used in conjunction with ... | |
| Subwoofer for classical music listener Rvpiano, one further thought. I recall reading several years ago that at some time in the past DC blocking devices were marketed specifically for the purpose of connecting powered subs to amps utilizing the ICEPower-based class D modules that had ... | |
| Subwoofer for classical music listener Rvpiano, the SB-2000 is described as having the same 47K line-level input impedance as the SB-1000, so using the PV11 to drive both the SB-2000 and your amps should be fine. Tim (Mr_m), first I'm pretty certain that the DC offset issue which Rvpia... | |
| Subwoofer for classical music listener RV, I have no first-hand knowledge of the sonics of SVS subs (or subs from any of the other manufacturers that have been mentioned, as I don't use a sub in my system). But FWIW the comments I can recall seeing here and elsewhere about the SVS sub... | |
| Subwoofer for classical music listener OK. The manual for the PV11 indicates a nominal output impedance of "less than 500 ohms" (presumably at mid-range frequencies), and recommends a minimum load impedance of 10K ohms. Given that output impedance and the short length of the cables to ... | |
| Subwoofer for classical music listener Rvpiano 6-3-2017 Does anyone know of any subs that are compatible with my type of amps. I doubt that a sub can be found that would be suitable for connection to the outputs of your amplifiers. But a considerable majority of subs provide line-lev... | |
| Subwoofer for classical music listener Rvpiano, glad I was helpful. Unfortunately I didn't read the thread in time to recommend against the purchase in the first place, given your mention of the NuForce amps.4hannons and Bob (Gdnrbob), yes I had recommended that cable, while also poin... | |
| Subwoofer for classical music listener Rvpiano 6-1-2017After much difficulty I finally got to set up my used 2Wq sub only to find that the left channel doesn’t work. I followed the directions in the manual exactly in setting up the wx-2 variable crossover, matching it to my amp. I chec... | |
| What are you using to rip your cds to a hard drive? As I and many others have acknowledged many times in past threads here, science and engineering can neither explain nor predict a lot about what we hear or don’t hear from our systems. However the science and engineering that is involved in the co... | |
| What are you using to rip your cds to a hard drive? Do the wires connecting the cd drive to the computer or the computer to the external hard drive or from the hard drive to the DAC make a difference? I know the question of whether wires make a difference at all is a point of contention, but I bel... | |
| Converting LP to digital. Advice please... Additional A/D converters that appear to be well worth considering, and are just now being introduced, are the Sound Devices MixPre-3 (24/96 max, $649), and the Sound Devices MixPre-6 (24/192 max, $899).They record to an SD memory card, and the r... | |
| Amp Input impedance - old Macintosh C-20 preamp with modern SS amp Toolbox, re your question just above, the only downside is with respect to sonics, especially in the bass region. More sinister consequences, such as damage or degradation of long term reliability, are not concerns, at least for load impedances ... | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... Yes, great news indeed, Frank. Thanks for the update, and continued best wishes as you proceed with your recovery.Also, Dave, good to see you back here lately.Best regards,-- Al |
