| Subwoofer xover settings for KEF LS50W (orig model) Set the low and high pass filters the same then tweak to your taste. | |
| A stupid question for which there's no sensible answer. Secondly, I like the way my system sounds,This is all that matters. It doesn't matter if you have heard anyone else's system or if your ears are untrained or not sophisticated. It doesn't matter what anyone else thinks is good sound either. If you... | |
| A stupid question for which there's no sensible answer. I’m still wondering if a very complex room could be a good room, audio wise.It absolutely can as long as you are willing to put in the work to make it so.The goal doesn't have to be perfection.What are you hearing now that you don't like? | |
| A stupid question for which there's no sensible answer. I agree with Mahgister. The room is definitely the weakest part of the system, if you want to call it a part,Not only is the room a part of the system, it’s the biggest player in the system. Your room will affect the sound of your system more than... | |
| Universal disc players @jafant Thanks for asking.I was intrigued by the Ayre DX-5 DSD mostly because of the company's design philosophy. I searched the net looking for a used one. I passed on the one on USAM that had been for sale for a couple of years because I thought... | |
| SVS vs REL and experiences with both: your comments and preferences... I have a SVS SB4000 and a REL S5 SHO in my system as well as a Rythmik F12SE. Both the SVS and the REL have plenty of power and cycle nice and low. The biggest difference between them is in their reproduction of the musical envelope; Attack, Decay... | |
| Sub choice for Dynaudio Contour 1.1 I would choose either the SB2000 or 3000 depending on room size, what you listen to and at what volume level.If you absolutely have to have a REL, I would go with the i5. I would not consider the i7 at all. | |
| "Musical" subwoofers? Advice please on comparing JL subs So here's a question that should have an actual answer: at what hz point does the average human ear start to discern music, timbre, nuance?Interesting question. In my opinion a single note is not music. To me music is a series of notes and rhythms... | |
| "Musical" subwoofers? Advice please on comparing JL subs Hi Northman, Your assumptions are correct. The CR-1 will help make integration of the sub to your system much easier and the D.A.R.O. will make integration with your room much easier. As Eric says, there are other options out there that I believe ... | |
| "Musical" subwoofers? Advice please on comparing JL subs In my opinion the e110 has the potential to be more musical because of its true 2 way crossover capabilities, but would probably be more difficult to set-up which may negate that potential.Are you using separates or an integrated amp? | |
| Need help I had the same issue and my system is also on the second floor. I was able to eliminate the issue by using a Townsend Audio Siesmic platform. | |
| What is Floyd Toole saying about extra amplifier power and headroom? Hey Diamond,Here is a link to a DBX analog crossover. https://dbxpro.com/en-US/products/223xsThe biggest difference between this and the MiniDSP and the PA2 other than the one being analog and the others digital is that the MiniDSP and the PA2 can... | |
| What is Floyd Toole saying about extra amplifier power and headroom? I run XLR cables to my sub because when I've run RCA, there's a low-level hum from the sub that completely goes away when I use XLR cables.DBX makes a DSP unit that has XLR outputs. https://dbxpro.com/en/products/driverack-pa2 If you shop around ... | |
| I Was Considering Active, Then I Watched This ... I respect Steve, I do not follow him closely, but in previous videos of his that I have seen, he seems to come from a position of experience and research. In this video he seems to come from a position of speculation and assumption. There are plus... | |
| What is Floyd Toole saying about extra amplifier power and headroom? Proper installation of your MiniDSP would be between your preamp and amps. IOW you would connect the left and right outputs from your preamp to inputs 1 and 2 of the MiniDSP. You would then send two of the four MiniDSP outputs to the inputs of you... |
