| Making speakers sound tonally similar with an equalizer Isn't a flat response curve what a speaker designer is striving for for most accurate reproduction? This is correct. The problem is that for the most accurate reproduction of recorded sound you want the speaker-room combination to be flat, or t... | |
| What do you guys think of adding a subwoofer to this system? Hi Bob, Subs can make a substantial difference to most any system if they are set up correctly. The addition of a high pass filter between the sub and your mains goes a long way in helping with that set-up. Unfortunately it does not appear that ... | |
| How do I set the crossover for 2 channel listening on my HT system? You do not say which Denon receiver you have but I would think that the crossover function in the Denon would contain both low and high filter capabilities so both your mains and sub will be crossing over at the same frequency. The low pass filter... | |
| I'm confused - Different music...different speakers? I think what you are experiencing with “At Fillmore East” is more complex than it appears. The easiest issue to address is the lack of impact or slam as you call it. Impact, is largely experienced in the 40 hz to 50 hz range, created mostly with t... | |
| Stand Mount Speakers Are you not using your sub for 2 channel playback? Your issue is pretty standard for any speaker at low volume because our hearing is much less sensitive to low frequencies. As the volume increases our ability to hear bass also increases, hence t... | |
| Have you moved away from full range to standmount speakers + subs? Satellites and subs can work very well, they can also be a huge pita.With a floor stander, a designer has created a type of basic, bass management circuitry in the cabinet. Most subs only have partial bass management capabilities, a very few will ... | |
| Different subwoofer settings for different albums? So a dealer I know told me that he doesn’t use subwoofers and doesn’t know anyone who does (!) because he finds that every record has different levels of bass and would require a new subwoofer crossover point to properly blend with the main speake... | |
| Mix and match subs? Then the question becomes should I go with the x12 to get the extra extension, or a second x10 for easier integration as many of you have suggested?Depends on what kind of music you listen to and how loud. If your current X10 is loud enough on its... | |
| Sopra 2 Bass My second eyebrow has now joined my first, far north of my eyeballs hearing you have four subs. How did you know you needed more than two?A lot of guys are going the four sub route including myself. I started with one, then two and now four. Not t... | |
| Sopra 2 Bass Leaves me wondering what a clip sounds like vs something else...Im my experience when an amp clips you would hear that same pop of the driver hitting its excursion limits followed immediately by heavy distortion and lack of volume due to a blown d... | |
| Rank the tweaks, geeks! My list doesn't exactly follow the Op's list (my apologies, but then, I never have followed the rules) but the improvement I experienced when each was implemented was significant enough to warrant a mention.Most important tweak in my opinion, thou... | |
| Sopra 2 Bass Halfway through the track there was a quick pop from the right speaker. Once again I agree with James633, this most likely was an over excursion of the woofer due to boosting the low end and the over all volume you were using while playing the tra... | |
| Sopra 2 Bass This world is insane!You have no ideaGreat advice from Eric and James633. Are you achieving satisfactory results when you use your tone controls? If you are I would stop and enjoy your system. You should not care what others think, it is your syst... | |
| Questions never stop ever, it seems. @classdstreamerI assumed that the line-level out from the sub was for daisy-chaining additional subs (for a DBA). Maybe this is sub-specific? This is correct. IME most powered subs do NOT have high pass capabilities. It is by far the exception tha... | |
| Questions never stop ever, it seems. That is exactly how I have my system currently configured. Preamp Outs to Subwoofer In and Subwoofer Outs to the amplifier itself. That engages the hi pass filter and gives me some control options on the subwoofer but are you also saying the syste... |
