| Is bi amping worth it ? It depends on what your goals are but generally yes, bi-amping will improve your sound. In your case the Khorns were designed with bi-amping in mind, so you technically do not need an external crossover, but to realize the benefits of bi-amping y... | |
| Is there such thing as a test lab/escrow service for selling/buying audio gear? Maybe check with https://www.escrow.com It was the first option that came up when I googled escrow services. | |
| svs subwoofer Any of the sealed models will be best for music. Size depends on desired volume level, musical style and room size. Also, remember to plug the ports of your mains if they have any. | |
| Does anyone own a tri amped system in Florida I could hear? I personally prefer an active DSP Xover. It gives you many more options. over an analog unit. | |
| Does anyone own a tri amped system in Florida I could hear? I have been bi-amping for many years. Moved to tri-amping, not quite a year and a half ago. Results far exceeded my expectations. I'm not in Florida, though I will be for a couple of weeks in November, but if you are ever traveling to the bold nor... | |
| XLR vs RCA I had a very similar experience as you about 8 years ago. I had a balanced system, but had it wired single ended. Just for fun one day I decided to wire it balanced with some 30 year old mic cables that were probably less than $30.00 each when I ... | |
| Subwoofer Question So a second sub eliminates peaks and nulls or just decreases the chances of a listener sitting in one? Watch this. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RE6g2IawzSQ Read these. https://www.harman.com/documents/multsubs_0.pdf https://www.acoustic... | |
| 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 ... |
