| 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... | |
| Are big subwoofers viable for 2 channel music? Normally I would say that if you like the gsg then I would go with the gsg. But your case may be a bit more complex. It appears that the gsg subs are passive so depending on what amp you use, you may not even have low pass capabilities not to ment... | |
| un-becoming an audiophile I understand what you are saying. I love listening to music but I have a very difficult time listening to music that has poor SQ. Fortunately there are tools available in the market place that can alleviate and possibly eliminate the issues that ... | |
| More Bass I would have thought with the 7" woofers and a rated frequency response of 22-30K Hz, there would have been a bit more bass Mr. Yachts, You mention that you thought there should be a bit more bass, does this mean that the bass is non-existent ... | |
| REL six pack questions Your observations are very astute. I agree with you, I would have all units in place after the bottom one is properly located, and make the initial adjustments individually. All over lapping frequencies reproduced by different drivers would ha... | |
| Question about Active Bi-amping With the two integrated amps you mention you can only do passive bi-amping with speakers that are designed to be bi-amped. I believe you should be able to connect all of your sources to one amp then use the preamp outs from that amp and connect t... | |
| New Rel Carbon Special Sub “Roars” when there is no signal! I totally agree. If it is acoustic feedback and I believe that it is, it is the most bizarre case I have ever come across. My guess is that the high level speaker cable is the culprit. I’m guessing that since it is a speaker level connection, REL... | |
| New Rel Carbon Special Sub “Roars” when there is no signal! Sounds like you were experiencing acoustical feedback. Having the issue diminish or disappear all together when you moved the sub is an indicator that you were able to disrupt the phase relationship between the subs output and input and since you ... |
