Little help with REL subwoofers, please?
Classical organ can cycle very low. To reproduce frequencies below 40 Hz. takes insane amounts of power and when you factor in that our ears are not as sensitive to lower frequencies the task can become particularly difficult. I’m not sure that ev... 
Musical subwoofer under $2000
Before you buy any sub read this first. https://soundoctor.com/whitepapers/subs.htm In my opinion if you are not listening to loud bass driven rock of some type, the addition of a subwoofer to a full range speaker will not make a big enough impac... 
Rhythmic F12SE setup using line in
I believe that your Marantz along with the Audyssey was performing both low and high pass functions and some e.q. functions. If you are unable to incorporate the Audyssey into your current setup you no longer have any of their benifets I.e. clear.... 
REL .LFE input
Why not just use the left and right low level inputs? Or does your REL not have them?  
What are your exact settings for volume and low pass filter on your SVS sub?
I have 2) SB4000’s  paired with Wilson Tune-Tots. I have the SVS output levels set at -3, but the whole system is controlled by a XTA DSP unit, using Audiocore software installed on a laptop. Crossover points and volume levels will vary somewhat d... 
Which frequency to adjust if voices/mids give me a headache.
If the irritation seems to be brash or brassy, I agree with the 1.5k to 1.6k give or take 500 Hz. assessment. If the irritation is more shrill, I find more often than not that the offending frequency is around 3.1k. It could also be both regions. ... 
Really Long XLR
Mogami W2534 Neglex Quad cable $1.19/ft. from Redco Audio. Neutrik NC3FXX-B and NC3FXX-B typically less than $5.00 each.  I believe Mogami is the preferred cable for professional recording studios.  
Midrange Increasingly Harsh
The cause of your issue can be anything in the chain from start to finish, including the source material, cables, seating location and the room itself. All you can do is replace one item at a time and listen to see if the problem has gone away. Do... 
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...
