| More Power or use subwoofer to boost bass for music Have you actually tried sufficiently large traps in sufficient quantity to make an audible difference? I see guys using hopelessly small bits of foam or similar that at beat could only trap dust.@lemonhaze Certainly! Bass traps saved the day in... | |
| Time for the Dynaco to go, Affordable Integrated or Separates for Wilson's Under $2.5K? Do the amps not have enough power?Did you get them refurbished? On another thread you asked if you should be concerned about their age and the answer is yes.MkIIIs can work quite well if in good condition! But if they've not been refurbished (new ... | |
| More Power or use subwoofer to boost bass for music Or, as my experience and measurements have shown, you treat the room with some decent bass traps and wall coverings to ensure the treble/bass balance is correct but no.... that's too much ....??? @erik_squires I used to think that way too. Then ... | |
| Discussion of Class D Amps Application & Experiences So, based on your response would you say this a 10% improvement? 20%?Hard to say in that regard! If properly engineered, its probably not that big a deal, as MOSFETs have gotten faster in the last few years since the GaNFETs were introduced. @ario... | |
| More Power or use subwoofer to boost bass for music Are any of you listening to yourselves?? Really?? Yes, we non-cult-DBA-knowers are- however you might want to take a dive into the research. Put another way, you know how you are sounding right now?? | |
| Discussion of Class D Amps Application & Experiences Is gallium nitride a game changerNo- but it **is** a game improver :)They allow for faster switching times, but in practice they work even better if you take advantage of their ability to turn on and off so much faster- this helps to minimize dead... | |
| More Power or use subwoofer to boost bass for music But since statistics is science, let’s consider the “odds “ of getting 4 or as some would say 5 objects placed in a convenient location vs. one....:) Of course, the science shows that multiple subs don't have to be placed perfectly for them t... | |
| More Power or use subwoofer to boost bass for music The idea of a “swarm” of subs is based on evening out the nodes. It’s an admirable goal but rarely practical. This statement is false. A distributed bass array such as the Swarm is far more effective at getting the bass right in a room than room ... | |
| To horn or not to horn Horns can be as smooth and transparent as any speaker made. Like any other kind of speaker technology there are bad examples and excellent examples as Duke pointed out earlier. Horns don't have to be all that big. For example you can have a quarte... | |
| Please help a newbie Choose, whats the best preamplifier for $1000 or less used The seller bought them from an audiophile that had them sitting for "many" years. He powered them up on a Variac and they sounded great so I bought them. Do I have to worry about them?@johnwahl Yes, you do. If sitting for a long time, its a g... | |
| The bass is the place... @lemonhaze +1 | |
| Which is better for a DBA (Swarm); powered subs or unpowered? Tympani are typically tuned to about C3 ≈130Hz with a 65Hz sub harmonic. Not really much in the sub range.While tympani aren't really big on deep bass notes, the rest of this statement is incorrect. Tympani are tuned as needed, not just to C... | |
| Efficient, affordable speakers for SETs? I, mostly, disagree with this statement. Regarding amp/speaker, one cannot say that a high powered amp is not designed to supply the juice needed for high sound output. And that a large speaker system is not designed similarly?Another point is ... | |
| Short List of Amps I prefer over the Pass Labs XA25 or INT 25 "CONRAD-JOHNSON preamps are designed for optimal sonic performance , yet this is not always reflected in the specifications of distortion." @niodari What this means in a nutshell is the THD is a bit higher but not really audible as it is mostly lo... | |
| Short List of Amps I prefer over the Pass Labs XA25 or INT 25 Actually no. I've been advocating for that for years, but the industry doesn't like the idea of a spec sheet that would actually tell you how the amp or preamp **sounds**. |
