| Adding Subs to a 2 channel system. Wiring advise Good Day Mr. 88 I apologize for the slow response. I do not frequent this site much so if you have a future question directed to me, it would be best to pm me. In my opinion SVS makes a good product at a decent price point. I have two SVS SB4000... | |
| Adding Subs to a 2 channel system. Wiring advise Hi Mr. 88 To answer or question more directly, my opinion is that the amount of signal degradation you would hear from your mains with the wiring scheme you have stated should be imperceptible. If you do hear a difference from your Focals, I bel... | |
| Subwoofer with Floorstanding Speakers? It appears that your Olympica Nova V's can be bi-amped. You might want to start by trying that to see if that adds enough low end to your rock recordings. Integration would be far simpler. Separate gain control with each amp would be required for ... | |
| Line Array VS Traditional Box Speakers, Why not just get the line array ? If you are interested in achieving live sound in your home I think that your instincts are good, but I’m not sure that actual, pro line array speakers are necessary unless you have a large room and are looking for exceptionally loud volume. There... | |
| How much faster of a sub is the REL T5X vs SVS SB12-NSD Speed of a driver is determined by one thing only and that is by how high a frequency it can reproduce. The higher the frequency, the faster the driver. Tubby or boomy bass (slow decay of the bass notes in your room) is an acoustics issue. Not s... | |
| Does a REL subwoofer make the speakers' job easier? 1. The sub would make the speakers’ job easier by not sending the low bass signal (i.e., below the crossover point) to them. This can be true as long as the crossover in question has high pass filter capabilities. A feature very few powered su... | |
| Is There A Big Difference Between Subwoofers From Different Manufacturers Hey ryder, Not sure if this is the kind of information that you are looking for. In my system I am currently using 2) SVS SB4ooo's, 1) Rythmik F12SE and 1) REL S5 SHO (predecessor to the S812). In my opinion the Rythmik has a slightly better soun... | |
| Audiophile Speakers for Rock, HipHop and Techno @tmac1700, are you just looking for new speakers or do you want your rock, hiphop and techno tracks to sound better? You mention boomy bass, that is normally a room acoustics issue, usually handled quite well with multiple subs, room treatments a... | |
| Sub Pairing With Harbeth 40.3 XDs Mr. Penngotti, You and I are kindred spirits. I also like the music loud with a good thump from the kick drum. The good news is that it is doable. The bad news is that it is not quite as simple as just adding a subwoofer, though that is a good st... | |
| objective vs. subjective rabbit hole Measurements are useful as long as you know how they relate to what you like. | |
| Subwoofer Choice Question SVS, Majico, JL Audio, REL I have personal experience with REL, SVS, Rythmik and to a much lesser extent Martin-Logan. In my experience Rythmik has the best sound quality, though not by much, but if you have a penchant for loud bass heavy music, they may not have the power... | |
| How can I tell if I am overdriving the amp or the speakers? In my opinion there is nothing wrong with your gear or your ears. The fundamentals of the alto sax and electric guitars do not go much above 1K hz. The piano obviously does but in most songs the range usually does not go much above 2.5K hz. So the... | |
| Vandersteen Sub woofers v Rythmik Subs The biggest advantage the Vandersteen’s may have is in the e.q. capabilities. Though having multiple subs helps reduce the need for e.q. Does the NAD have any e.q. capability? Are you happy with the performance of the Rythmik you currently have? ... | |
| SVS PB16 Ultra vs JL Fathom 113 vs ??? How big is your room? What gear are you currently using? How loud are you looking to get? I also like bass heavy music. IME I found multiple subs to be much better than a single sub. I have two SVS SB4000’s in my system along with two other bra... | |
| Svs, Rel, or ?. I currently have SVS, Rythmik and REL subs in my system. Of the three, Rythmik has the best sound followed by the SVS. The Rythmik has a little less output power than the SVS and the REL. The REL was the toughest to integrate due to the lack of a ... |
