| I'm going to buy my first tube amp. I need honest blunt opinions @soix +1 @atmasphere +1 I'm using a pair of Atma-Sphere MA-1's to drive a pair 8 ohm 87 db efficient Wilson's with great results, but I'm also using subs to drive every thing from 177 Hz on down. If I wasn't using subs I would want to find the h... | |
| Subwoofer Advice & Therapy :) Before you purchase a sub you should read this. https://www.soundoctor.com/whitepapers/subs.htm This white paper was written by a former JL Audio engineer, hence all of the JL Audio product references, but there are other options that are just ... | |
| SVS SB-2000 Pro/3000 vs. REL T/7x Both sealed. This is Incorrect. The T/7x is not sealed, it has a 10” passive radiator on the bottom of the cabinet. I currently own SVS, REL and Rythmik subs. Used 100% for music. I would choose either SVS or Rythmik over the REL. Besides bein... | |
| Bookshelf Speakers Sitting On Dual Subs? @dutchdutchna You answered some of mine. Thanks for the great information. | |
| Happen to you? Gear chasing because the fundamentals were wrong. Not understanding the frequency spectrum. Thinking that a flat room response is the ultimate pinnacle. We all know how annoying peaks in the bass region can be, but I have since discovered that small peaks (around 3 db) at certain frequencies, in... | |
| have only speaker level out to sub ... svs micro3000? I believe that SVS offers speaker level inputs as an option. You need to contact them or a SVS dealer directly. | |
| Bookshelf Speakers Sitting On Dual Subs? What is the end goal you are trying to achieve? Louder over all playback levels, more thump? The 8C’s appear to have a sub out, is it full range or do they have low and high pass filter capabilities? The drivers in the 3070’s appear to be on angle... | |
| Add sub to 802D4s? Unless you plan on integrating your subs with some type of external crossover, preferably an active one, you will be throwing your money away by adding subs to your current system. If you are not planning on using an external crossover it is usual... | |
| Best Connection Method for a Sub(s) When I purchased my first sub I used the high level inputs because it seemed to be everyones recommend method, but just for fun one day I tried to the line level connection and found it to be a better way to go. I found the sound to be a little mo... | |
| Bass- at what frequency does it change from sounding like a string to just a low tone? The part of the audio spectrum that makes a note sound like an instrument rather than just a sound is contained mostly in the harmonics. Depending on your crossover point a vast majority of the harmonics are going to be reproduced by your mains an... | |
| How do you high pass your main speakers? Ideally you would want to insert a high pass filter AKA electronic crossover, between your preamp and amplifiers. If your amp is an AVR this feature I believe is built into most of them. If you are not using an AVR you have a few options at varyin... | |
| What is the proper loudness for listening? At what ever volume makes you happy, but as others have said, louder volumes can produce hearing damage, so if you do play at loud to very loud volumes take frequent breaks and keep your listening sessions short. | |
| Subwoofer - thoughts on Rythmic F12 In my opinion and experience, you are better off using a line level input. A speaker level signal will have a little more distortion and it will be converted back to a line level signal by the subs speaker level circuitry anyway, but it will still... | |
| Subwoofer - thoughts on Rythmic F12 In a word, Yes. I have Rythmik, SVS and REL subs in my system and I am currently considering upgrading to all Rythmik subs. The Rythmik is a little tighter than the SVS and much tighter than the REL, which is due to the servo in the Rythmik instan... | |
| Best €2500 sub purely for music? I don’t know what brands are available in Europe so I can’t recommend a certain brand. I am also not sure what synthetic music is but my guess is that it is music where the musicians create it by using synthesizers rather that traditional instrume... |
