| Ahhh--Problem solved. Adding a REL sub-bass unit... 2 things I am thinking about with REL:1.)Will it go low enough for my liking? (I don't get the warm and fuzzies from only going to 28Hz on the T/9i2.)Would I be better off, as in, better integration integration with my mains if I went the Vanderst... | |
| Ahhh--Problem solved. Adding a REL sub-bass unit... Yep, I think people still don't quite get that | |
| Ahhh--Problem solved. Adding a REL sub-bass unit... If you do this with the REL you are not using the high level speakon connectors, no? | |
| Ahhh--Problem solved. Adding a REL sub-bass unit... " That, my friend, is nonsense."Well of course you can tweak your output and set the low pass frequency on the REL to get a good integration with the main, but no load is being taken off the mains (as far as the amp is concerned) using the high l... | |
| Ahhh--Problem solved. Adding a REL sub-bass unit... " IMO, the point of a sub it to reduce the load on the main woofer"RELs don't do it this way, they are designed to pick up where the mains drop off. Vandersteen Subs do this, however. | |
| Ahhh--Problem solved. Adding a REL sub-bass unit... Points taken, but since I have Vandersteen 2Cs and those already go down to the low 30Hz, would I still benefit from a sub that only goes down a few hertz lower? | |
| Ahhh--Problem solved. Adding a REL sub-bass unit... Does anyone who has a REL mind that pretty much all their initial lineup doesn't dig down to 20Hz? Even the S3 drops off significantly before 20Hz. Seems like a prerequisite if going to spend money on a sub....and it's the pretty much the one thin... | |
| Increasing gain for your vinyl front end when pre-amp doesn't quite have enough juice Actually might start a new thread in the speaker section... | |
| Increasing gain for your vinyl front end when pre-amp doesn't quite have enough juice Ok yep, I see...What about the Hsu HB-1 MK2 Horn vs Klipsch RP 600M Reference?Anyone have any opinions on the 2? Dynamics/slam (but non fatiguing) is #1 priority for me with my "rock" speakers | |
| Increasing gain for your vinyl front end when pre-amp doesn't quite have enough juice So after a bit of testing with the different gain settings on the Mani 48db is the best and can give me what I need at the highest volume levels when called for. I did try the 59db setting, but after trying a few records that are highly dynamic, s... | |
| Increasing gain for your vinyl front end when pre-amp doesn't quite have enough juice Pretty sure my hearing is fine. (Although my kids screaming in my ear everyday probably doesn't help.) | |
| Increasing gain for your vinyl front end when pre-amp doesn't quite have enough juice Well, the Vandy's are on the 4th decade now. I love them, but they are old. Not sure what shape those old drivers are actually in. It may be time to put them out to pasture. My problem is that the speakers I want are too expensive (Vandersteen Tre... | |
| Adcom GFP-710 to Schiit Freya - upgrade? Nice system Wolf! | |
| Increasing gain for your vinyl front end when pre-amp doesn't quite have enough juice I was actually looking at possibly replacing the Vandersteens with the Magnapan LRS, but just found out it's less efficient than the Vandersteens! (LRS is 86bd, Vandersteen 2C is 88db) I know that is not a headbanger speaker, but was still hoping ... | |
| Increasing gain for your vinyl front end when pre-amp doesn't quite have enough juice Just about...and I mean this would only be when I can get the house to myself (which is rare unfortunately)...most of the time would be fine the way it is. I like the idea of having plenty of volume headroom (and I'm used to it, so it came as a bi... |
