| Subs? Welcome to the dark side. The answer to your question is, it depends on what your goals are, what you listen to and how loud you listen. If you prefer aggressive bass driven music, like blues, rock, EDM, and even modern country, specially at highe... | |
| My Sonus Faber Amatis have weak bass even though I'm running ML 536s--800 w/ch into 4 ohms The first thing I would check is to make sure they are not wired out of phase and it could be possible they are wired out of phase internally. | |
| ??? Anyone Running Active Speakers Driven By A Tube PreAmp ??? Not sure if this will be of any help but I have a 4-way system, 3-way active. Mids are passively crossover to the highs. I use a tubed pre-amp. If the active electronics alters the characteristics of the tubes , it is inaudible to me. I do get far... | |
| Does You Subwoofer Settings ?? Do most find that subwoofer settings are not perfect for every song you play ?? Yes Last year went to a SVS SB16 Sub and 95 percent of songs it sounds beautiful. But other songs has boomy sound Boomy bass is a room acoustics issue. Your roo... | |
| Desktop Mixer? Hi Erik, Here is a video that may help. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zQhmg-1kFvg | |
| Dual Sub-woofers paired into two sets of speakers - connection option. Here is an excerpt from Barry Obers white papers on sub integration on stereo bass (subs). STEREO BASS? Oh, and to touch upon "stereo bass" for a moment... there almost is no such thing. Going back to vinyl, every stereo vinyl record cut in the... | |
| What actually determines volume power? Is it watts? dman77 For every 3 db SPL increase in output volume requires a doubling of the amplifier watts being used. So if your speaker sensitivity is 88 db, which means that it takes 1 watt of amplifier power to drive that speaker output to 88 db at 1K Hz... | |
| Thoughts on Speakers for a Small Audio/Video Room I am not very knowledgeable about acoustics, but my understanding is that nodes, aka standing waves occur between parallel surfaces, i.e. front and back walls, left and right side walls and floor to ceiling. The distance between the surfaces dicta... | |
| How many subs? You might want to start by reading this. https://www.acousticsciences.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/Soundoctor-Barry-Ober-sub-integration.pdf My guess is that your acoustic engineer was adding delay to your subs so they would be in phase at the ... | |
| Thoughts on Speakers for a Small Audio/Video Room Hi Capt. I do electronically tune my system to the room. I chose that path, rather than tuning the room to the system for primarily economic reasons. I felt that for an approximate $450.00 investment I could get 80% to 90% to where I wanted the r... | |
| Thoughts on Speakers for a Small Audio/Video Room Hi Captouch, Are you using any type of isolation under your turntable? If not, I use the Townshend Seismic Vibration Isolation platform, and it works quite well. https://www.townshendaudio.com/hi-fi-home-cinema-equipment-vibration-isolation/hi-... | |
| Which subwoofer should I get? Hey Matt, I would be careful pairing a REL with your A5’s, Most if not all REL subs incorporate a passive radiator in their designs. The passive radiator dramatically increases the decay and sustain portion of a note or beat. (The four stages of ... | |
| Which sounds better 2 way or 3 way speaker design Am I correct to assume that a 3 way design will give the listener a much better chance to hear the full audio spectrum as opposed to a 2 way design? Depends on what you mean when you say, full audio spectrum. If full audio spectrum to you mean... | |
| Channel D Lino C vs. Sutherland Little Loco @lewm I appreciate the response. On the Channel D website they have photos of the Seta L transimpedance/voltage mode phono preamp circuit boards and a list of the shown circuits, and one of the circuits listed is a DC servo circuit, which I am ... | |
| Channel D Lino C vs. Sutherland Little Loco I have become very interested in the Lino C phono pre after reading through this thread. I see from the Lino website that they do not incorporate DC blocking caps in their designs. Is that standard practice for phono pre's not to use blocking caps... |
