| Subwoofers with room correction built in? The only subwoofer that I know of and have experience with that had auto EQ was the Velodyne Digital Drive 12. It worked pretty good. Velodyneacoustics are now located in Germany, but have distributors in the U.S.A. That is a true self contained s... | |
| Is 35’ and 50’ to long for RCA sub cables? I am running a 75 foot subwoofer cable to the home theater subs and no issues. Make sure they are shielded. I bought mine from Blue Jean cables. Also, Mediabridge makes a decent shielded subwoofer cable and you can those virtually next day servic... | |
| Speaker Road Trip No matter what configurations you decide on, you should measure the in room frequency response at the listening position to see how the sub settings affect the sound. Preferably, use a device that displays in real time with test tones how your adj... | |
| Mix and match subs? You can mix and match subs…but, you need to measure the in room frequency response at the listening position to see how the varied bass settings effect the sound. Ideally, something that gives you a visual to see in real time your settings as they... | |
| Speaker Road Trip Ah, the speaker journey…been there and it’s not easy. The B&W 606 bookshelves you own now are decent for what they are but sound vastly different then these other speakers on your list. What do you currently like/don’t like about the bookshelv... | |
| Mix and match subs? What is your goal with the addition of another sub? Listening to 2 channel music on a dedicated 2 channel stereo, or both, home theater and music listening through an AV processor? If it’s 2 channel, whatever sub you decide to acquire (makes good ... | |
| Your thoughts on active loudspeakers @phusis ”I wouldn't want to come across claiming that every serious home audio reproduction "adventurer," for him/her to actually be serious, should pursue active as the one and only route achieving great sound. Mostly what it comes down to, to me... | |
| Your thoughts on active loudspeakers The only active speaker I heard that I really liked was the MBL101s. In second place, the Legacy Aeris. I have listened to Avant-garde and active Klipschorns previously, but they did not make me want to jump into the active speaker lifestyle. Note... | |
| Kuzma 4Points and Lyra carts Your welcome, and for sure, a new thread if I go that route. Meanwhile, let’s hear how your Kuzma sounds😀 with any of the cartridges you decide to mount. I think there is a lot of experimentation opportunities with the Kuzma due to differing spac... | |
| Kuzma 4Points and Lyra carts @karl_desch,BTW…forgot to add that my cartridges are mounted on SME Vs…and the one new tonearm I am looking at is the TRA9…essentially a newer improved SME V. If I order a new Transrotor Tourbillion it may well come with the new TRA9 tonearm. http... | |
| Kuzma 4Points and Lyra carts @karl_desch Yes, we are more than likely hearing the same things. Will be interesting to hear your listening impressions on the FR-64s…don’t think anyone has tried that combination yet. Also, will be great to hear your impressions mounted on the K... | |
| Kuzma 4Points and Lyra carts @karl_desch Congratulations on your pending acquisition of the Kuzma 4point 9. That is an arm I have been considering for a while. It would be the third arm for my Transrotor Apollon turntable. Are the Kuzma arms compatible with SME mounting? Rega... | |
| Noise floors @millercarbon, "Groove noise is the new noise floor." That is where I am at. Low 20's in DB measured in the room. Lifetime of playing around, career related, and hobby stuff got me to build a dedicated listening room that is quiet. In this hobby, ... | |
| klipshorn speakers Klipschorn speakers will definitely shake a room or two. They can play very loudly due to their efficiency. If your son wants that loudness in the room, will the rest of the home accept this loudness? Is the room specially built and treated to kee... | |
| Distributed Bass Array configuration It’s only a problem if not properly implemented. So, Not me, I am not worried, at least for low level listening where bass smearing might be more noticeable if not properly implemented. At way louder and extreme listening levels…the way I listen, ... |
