| 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... | |
| I need bass I agree with the many others that suggest a sealed sub. Beware of REL many of their models have a passive radiator which can have disastrous effects on low mid clarity. checkout Soundoctor.com white papers for some excellent information about subs... | |
| Best Way to Integrate Subwoofers? Thanks newtoncr for your post. I could never understand why audiophiles are so against crossovers. Your link to http://www.soundoctor.com/whitepapers/subs.htm is greatly appreciated. I found it very informative and reaffirming. | |
| Did Fleetwood Mac's "The Chain" blow up my woofer? Hey Jayy42I spent many years in live audio and have blown up more woofers than I care to remember. When ever we thought we had possibly blown a speaker our first test was always to push back and forth on the paper cone with our finger tips. If the... | |
| Strange turntable/speaker issue I have or actually had the exact same issue with my turntable.Within the past couple of days I installed a Kiseki cartridge in my 1979 era Sony turntable with a SME 3009 arm replacing an old audio technica cartridge from 1984, and experienced exce... | |
