| Integrating Subwoofer with ProAc Speakers.... HELP 80 Hz is the low frequency effect (LFE) default xover setting in surround formats/receivers. I would begin w/setting the xover at 10-15 Hz below your ProAc's rated frequency response (which very well might be 80-90 Hz on such a small speaker as th... | |
| Polite, Discreet Subwoofer The REL Strata III is a 10 " sealed box design and gets out of the way very well, and I happen to have one for sale! (OK, a shameless plug.) See my current add if interested. | |
| Grizzly Man That was a sad man, and he's probably beatter off where he is now. | |
| Hearing loss and center image Yeah, it sounds like things could be considerably worse than they are. I'm off to hear Willie Nelson right now, and hopefully I won't be worrying about the center image! (bringing the trust earplugs just in case). Thanks for the points of reference. | |
| Hearing loss and center image In fact I have, and found out that my left is down only 2-3 dB @2,000 Hz. The audiologist told me she found it incredible that I could even detect that amount. I am, however, convinced that the loss is more than that, as the test did not seem all ... | |

| Do Audiophiles really like music? Tmrhu, excellent point about live music and the sound levels, and that's one reason I invested in a pair of custom ear plugs (175.00 and worth 10 times that) that attenuate frequencies evenly. I refuse to hear live music without them. | |
| Hearing loss and center image Gentlemen, thanks for your help, and I'm glad to know that there are some folks out there who have the same problem. Lrsky, is this MAC you refer to a Macintosh model? Thanks. | |
| Any system ever moved you emotionally like this? The only music that creates this type of strong emotion for me is opera or live electric guitar where the composer/writer uses long lines and phrasing, e.g. in ilTravetore and some of Knopfler's live solo work. And if Alex Lifeson can't evoke trem... | |
| Do Audiophiles really like music? I like to think that audiophiles can be divided into two groups -- those who love gear and like music and those who love gear and love music. I've worked with and spoken to people who have multi-K systems and can recite every spec of any piece of ... | |
| Awful sound from B&W's: Break In needed? Let them play for the maual's suggested break-in time, and if they still sound bad, get rid of them! Trying to "fix" the rest of your system will only lead to stress and expenditure. I'm interested in whether you auditioned these before you purcha... | |
| Clever Little Clock - high-end audio insanity? Yes. Hi-end audio insanity. | |
| musical drummers...who are they ??? Ditto for Watts . . . his biggest influences are guys like Max Roach and the jazz greats. | |
| recomended musical sub for 2 channel audio Or 2 REL Strata IIIs (total $1600-1800 used), as this might improve LF frequency response. I run one in an 17X15 room, and it could use another. The ML is also excellent. | |
