| Subwoofer Question @elliottbnewcombjr I understand that all notes have harmonics, but any harmonic above 60 Hz, (the op's crossover point) will be reproduced by his mains and not the sub, so I wouldn't think he would get directional cues from the harmonics, from t... | |
| Biamp & how many others If I understand your question, I believe that it is. I have been bi-amping for many years and have been very happy with the results. Originally my system was a 3-way system. I have always been told that a 4-way system sounded better and the theor... | |
| Two subs - should they be the same size or is different ok There is no advantage to different crossover points. In your case you will have slightly less out put of note C2 at 65.406 Hz. Gain levels should be close which can be more challenging with mis-matched subs. According to Revel the Studio 2's 3 d... | |
| Is More Better? @janewyman, good read see here and here! Mike A big WOW to both of those articles. Waaaay over my head! These are two pretty good articles that Mike linked for you. Not to speak for Mike, but the first one, possibly a bit dated, appears... | |
| Room Analysis-How? I have found YouTube videos by Home Theater Gurus to be helpful. They are home theater centric but the principles are the same. | |

| Has anyone here set up a system with tiered subwoofers handling different bass spectrums? I am currently doing what you are asking about. I use an active crossover/DSP unit. I cross the subs into the mid bass cabs at approximately 77 Hz and cross the mid bass cabs into my bookshelf speakers at approximately 500 Hz. It works wonderful... | |
| Should I upgrade from REL/510 subwoofer to REL/812 subwoofer? I agree with the two sub approach, but if you are staying with just one sub there is no reason to move up in size unless your current sub does not have enough power for your needs. It is counter intuitive, but when you add multiple subs, because ... | |
| New cartridge vs. Re-tipped @jcarr Next, cleanliness is next to saintliness. The dirt that accumulates in the LP groove and gets transferred to the stylus tends to have a high silicon oxide content (sand), and sand's abrasive nature will significantly hasten stylus wear. ... | |
| Electronic cross-over on pre-amp out, to split signal to subwoofer and bookshelf speakers Not sure why you would use a Y connector in your set-up? At a minimum an electronic crossover will have 2 inputs and 4 outputs. Every powered sub that I have seen have both a left and a right input. You would connect your preamp outputs to the cr... | |
| Sub for 2 Channels Why are you considering changing your subwoofer? What don't you like about your current set-up? The old SVS SB4000, recently discontinued, and possibly its replacement the SB5000 can be low passed as high as 200 Hz. | |
| Subs - Installation Sounds like you are using separate components, and if you decide to use an external crossover, which I highly recommend, connection is quite simple. You connect your preamp outputs to the crossover inputs, then two of your crossover outputs will g... | |

| Class d amplification I have been using Atma-Sphere Class D to drive Wilson Tune Tots for the last year or so and will not be making any changes. | |
