| Distributed Bass Array configuration What ruled the Amethyst out for me was that it has a fanMy XO has a fan also. (XTA DP448) I disabled the fan but left the top cover off so it would cool properly. All with XTA's blessing. | |
| Distributed Bass Array configuration I run my front subs in stereo because I’m using a very high crossover point. My rear subs are technically mono but I am running both the left and right channels to each sub. Phase on all subs is set to zero. I have a very small room so phase is no... | |
| ATC and Loki Ideally you will connect the Loki between your preamps outputs and your power amps inputs. This is fairly simple if you have separates. If you have an integrated, you will need to use the pre outs and ins if your amp has them, otherwise you will h... | |
| What process did you use to integrate multiple subwoofers for 2 channel listening? Hi Hilde45, Just in case it’s not clear, you already have a DBA, which is basically 3 or more subs in a room, as long as they are asymmetrically placed in the room. Whether they are powered or passive is a matter of preference. As with everything... | |
| So how can a great system solve less than great recordings You may want to add something like this to your system.https://www.sweetwater.com/store/detail/8803EQ--ams-neve-8803-dual-channel-eq?mrkgadid=3341928534&am... | |
| Cut lower frequency to help my bookshelf speakers Aurgolo, you place the minidsp between the pre and the amps because that is how the minidsp is designed to work. I think that you will get more sound degradation using the Node2 not to mention possibly greater phasing and timing errors, but give i... | |
| Cut lower frequency to help my bookshelf speakers Aurgolo, Connect the outputs of the LS2 to the inputs of the minidsp. Connect one set of outputs of the minidsp to the Mark Levinsen and the other set to the subs. If you hear any signal degradation from the subs I will be both amazed and impresse... | |
| At This Time Can We Recreate Full Range Live Music In The Home? I believe that you can or at least get very very close, but you absolutely have to be able to tune your system to your room. If you just put a system in a room and expect to get a realistic live performance sound it will never happen unless the ac... | |
| How do you know if you need to add a sub (without auditioning one, I mean)? So what does anyone think of the idea of using a Loki as a very inexpensive experiment to see if more bass even suits me.The Loki may be a solution but it may also cause you problems. I am making an assumption here, and you may already know this, ... | |
| How do you know if you need to add a sub (without auditioning one, I mean)? Depends on what kind of music you listen to and how loud you play it. If you are listening to bass driven music like blues and rock a sub is almost essential, other genres, not so much. The biggest issue with subs is integrating them. Integration ... | |
| Does length matter ? Not exactly an apples to apples comparison here, bit I have seen some pro applications where the difference in length from left to right was as much as 75 feet and no one was ever able to tell any difference. | |
| Subwoofer for Kef LS50 Wireless II? What is your crossover point? If it's at 40Hz there are very few notes produced by conventional instruments lower than that. The low "E" on a bass is 41.203 Hz which is already above that threshold. A grand piano has a few notes that are lower but... | |
| Subwoofer for Kef LS50 Wireless II? What kind of problems are. you having? Is the sub boomy or muddy?Boomy would probably be do to the subs location in relation to the listening position, muddy would probably be do to improper crossover setup. I'm assuming you only have one sub. Ha... | |
| Wilson Audio Tunetot Loudspeakers Reviewed ! I bought a pair of Tune Tots about a year and half ago and I'm still enjoying them and I doubt I will ever replace them. I felt that the highs especially, were superior to the other speakers that I auditioned, which were B&W, Focal, Spendor an... | |
| Narrowed it down to two Monitors, Dyn Heritage Special, or Wilson Tune Tot When I started to put my system together a few years ago I ended up with the Tune Tots because I felt that their highs were better than the other bookshelf speakers that I was able to audition. The others that I listened to, were B & W 805D, ... |
