| Overkill for small room I'm curious to know what you consider "very loud aggressive music. Lately I have been listening quite a bit to Fear Inoculum by Tool. I also like Orbital, NIN, Ministry, Big Black, Moon Duo, The Black Angels, Foo Fighters just to name a very s... | |
| Overkill for small room I assumed I'd set up the speakers on the narrow end I think that with your size room it would be better to place your speakers along the 11' wall. This will allow you to place both your speakers and your listening chair closer to the center of t... | |
| Searching for a little more warmth In my experience most rooms tend to be on the bright side. Have you considered room treatments or some type of equalization? | |
| Best Neil Young Vinyl Recordings I have been listening to Mirrorball lately. The record Neil recorded with Pearl Jam as his backing band. No hits, but a very solid record nonetheless. Neil gels real nicely with PJ's rhythm section. | |
| External XO Question Are you looking to upgrade an equalizer or an active crossover (XO)? Per the Sanders Sound System website they appear to supply a DBX Venue360 DSP unit with their Model 10 electrostatic speaker. You will not be able to find an analog crossover th... | |
| full range or mini's and a sub The biggest advantage with mini monitors and subs along with an active crossover, is that you can put together a world class speaker system at a fraction of the cost. The down side is that it takes a little more knowledge and skill to do it correc... | |
| JL Audio Fathom I would not switch either. With the JL Audio you are paying a lot for room correction and a calibrated microphone. Room correction would be much better handled with a good DSP unit and REW. | |
| Short list of musical subwoofers @ajant My front subs are SVS SB4000 and I am crossing them over at 161 Hz and have crossed them over as high as 177 Hz and they have sounded good to me at either setting. | |
| Equalizer in a Hi Fi system @jtcf I have my preamp in front of my listening position under the television. My control units sit on an end table on the left side of my sofa (listening and watching position) I run my cables along the back and side walls. No real intrusion into... | |
| Equalizer in a Hi Fi system @jtcf Since the API is a pro piece it is a fully balanced design and will support very long cable runs with very little to no signal degradation, you could place the unit within easy reach of your listening position so you do not have to get up to... | |
| Subwoofer xLr connection The bottom processor link below may have preamp capabilities. You would have to contact them directly to verify. Links one and two are to balanced analogue crossovers and links three and four are to crossovers with DSP processing. https://www.jl... | |
| New TT : Balanced vs. Unbalanced Connection? The turntable itself is neither balanced or unbalanced, it is the cartridge that can either be wired balanced or unbalanced and it is my understanding that virtually all cartridges are capable of being wired balanced. If you use the XLR connectors... | |
| Subwoofer xLr connection I assume that the 1100XL is a discontinued model since a search on their website ends with no results? Regardless you can connect a balanced XLR output to an unbalanced XLR input. They will work, you just will not get the common mode noise rejecti... | |
| Using PA Speakers In A Home "Audiophile" Application! Currently in my system I am using some touring level outboard gear with what I think are excellent results. I am not using touring level speakers but I have been wanting to compare some of Meyer Sound Labs products like the UPM-1P, UltraX20 and th... | |
| Little help with REL subwoofers, please? You can try a T9x or a T7x to see what happens. Hopefully you can get them on a trial basis. As long as neither sub can reproduce the offending frequency of the room with enough power you should be good to go, but if either of the subs can reprodu... |
