| Searching for matching(?) Subwoofer solution Thanks Tim,You did answer my question. With as good as a DBA system is, there still will be only one sweet spot in the room. This is what I figured but I wanted to make sure that I wasn't missing something. | |
| Searching for matching(?) Subwoofer solution Duke, Thanks for the reply.I need to re-ask my first question since I wasn't clear. Since a DBA system can evenly distribute low bass evenly to all parts of a room are you also able to distribute the mids and highs evenly to all parts of the room ... | |
| Searching for matching(?) Subwoofer solution Hleeid,Before you do anything I would suggest reading http://www.soundoctor.com/whitepapers/subs.htm I think you will find them very informative.A question for the DBA folks; How do you get the mids and highs to spread out evenly through the room ... | |
| AMP or Preamp I really like the way my Wilsons sound using Atma-Sphere MA-1 mono blocks which I found used, in your price range. I have also heard Wilsons powered by ARC Ref 150 and that also was a great match.I do not own Sashas so if you do decide to look at ... | |
| Balanced vs RCA between amp/preamp The single biggest improvement I ever made to my system was when I switched from RCA cables to XLR balanced but I am not using Marantz gear I am using Atma-Sphere so YMMV. | |
| Upgrading sub to get a live feel. I agree with a lot of what has been said but in my experience ported subs for music reproduction is a no-no. Using ported subs can create phasing issues. You will hear thick rich low end but will loose punch and clarity, specially if your main spe... | |
| Sub to complement KEF LS50s: SVS vs. Rythmik Hey Jdtalv,I would say that it is a horse apiece.I also was debating between a Rythmik F15HP and an SVS SB4000. My feeling was/is the Rythmik servo technology is a better design, I ultimately ended up buying two SVS SB4000 due to my interaction wi... | |
| What equipment upgrades or tweaks will improve the sound of drums? I suspect your source material. Do you get good drum sounds from other recordings? Elton was/is a big pop star who has sold millions of records which have been massed produce for an audience that is largely ambivalent about tonality. To the record... | |
| Why No McIntosh Recommendations? When I Started to upgrade my 40 year old system a year and a half ago, I thought I would be buying McIntosh amps but I didn't like the way the McIntosh amps in my price range sounded so I ended up going in a different direction. | |
| Anyone know how to set up Rythmik subwoofers on an ARCAM AVE550 receiver? Hi Larry,I guess it all depends on what kind of music you listen to. I listen to many different styles of music but mostly rock of various forms. I also like it loud with thumpin' bass and I have literally thousands of recordings but I would say o... | |
| Anyone know how to set up Rythmik subwoofers on an ARCAM AVE550 receiver? I feel like I am watching a soap opera, AS the Subwoofer Turns.Larry, once again you are getting your best advice from @bdp24 You say you are primarily interested in music but you are building a HT system. A great HT system will be decent at 2 cha... | |
| Help looking for dynamic warm romantic sound with detail IME the front end is just as important as the back end. No amp/speaker combination can fix bad source material. I also agree with those that have mentioned room acoustics. For my tastes I have found that a system that lacks warmth is usually due t... | |

| Can anyone hear the difference when you add REL subwoofers when playing two channel Unless you have a large room I would stay away from the lower end REL subs for a 2 channel music system. The S5's on down, I believe all use a downward facing passive radiator which helps the sub achieve lower frequencies and deliver a nice rich f... | |
| Can anyone hear the difference when you add REL subwoofers when playing two channel When I listened to the S3, I got on my knees and put my ear next to the speaker and it was not pulsing out the beat. All it was doing was putting a steady humming sound. Hard to describe.Something is wrong with the setup. The steady hum could be... |
