| Best Way to Integrate Subwoofers? "Rel ,the best and easiest way to go.2 t7i"Looks mouth watering...but only 8"...ain't that a bit small?You can get 2 15" or 12" sealed servero Rythmiks for around that same price....If that 8" REL can really put-out that would be tempting... | |
| Best Way to Integrate Subwoofers? True, if you use an external analog xover you won't do ADA, but you are still adding more 'stuff' in the signal path. I like to keep things as simple as possible. But, a lot of people go this route. Vandersteen subs are famous for doing this. My a... | |
| Lightning quick DYNAMIC amp in the under $1000 range Thanks Mr Decibel. That’s just it, I don’t know if I’m missing anything with my amp, other than it is one Fugly box. But I have it tucked away where it won’t offend anyone. All I care about is SQ any way. I did the fan mod, so the thing is quiet a... | |
| Dual vs single sub I am probably gonna get a Rythmik F15HP after I get my Preamp situation squared away. Although I would love to buy 2 subs, alas, I cannot. I think I would rather buy one very big, powerful, tuneful sub than 2 smaller, weaker subs for the same amou... | |
| Lightning quick DYNAMIC amp in the under $1000 range Thanks all for the suggestions. Going to look closer at a used Odyssey stratos, as well. How do they upgrade them? | |
| Lightning quick DYNAMIC amp in the under $1000 range Good suggestion! On one hand I wouldn't say I hate my behringer pro-amp. The thing is quite a beast (does 450watts/channel into 8 ohms, 750WPC at 4 ohm) Also, weighs close to 40 lb with a huge toroid transformer. But those are built for cranking f... | |
| Best drink while listening to your rig? 4 Loco | |
| Best Way to Integrate Subwoofers? One of the main reasons I like high level inputs and letting the sub do it's own low frequency filtering is that you keep the signal as pure as possible for the mains. I think this is especially important if you listen to an analog source...you de... | |
| Best Way to Integrate Subwoofers? If your mains are not being driven to their full potential currently with your amp then that's a whole separate issue I would takle first. I don't buy the statement that you should relieve the amp of low freq signals from the mains.Step 1. Get an ... | |
| Best Way to Integrate Subwoofers? Correct, the speaker wire from the amp over to the powered sub should only be seen as the signal. It's not actually driving the sub. As for latency, etc... Get a sealed servo sub or 2 or 4 😀. Those should keep up nicely. Volume should go up and do... | |
| Lightning quick DYNAMIC amp in the under $1000 range The STA200 is a class AB, I think, according to AA. Don't think it's class D | |
| Best Way to Integrate Subwoofers? I like the Paul Mcgowan Method - Run a high level signal to the sub/s from your speaker amplifier. Just some extra speaker cable from the same banana's that are going to your mains. This has the benefit of keeping the sound signature of your amp a... | |
| Lightning quick DYNAMIC amp in the under $1000 range So the STA-200 vs. Schiit Vidar is an interesting comparison. What would be the pros and cons of each be? The Vidar seems like it could have the edge with more power and overhead by being able to deliver twice the power when you go down to 4 ohm. ... | |
| Does anyone pay the same attention to their car audio? Sometimes I like to listen to music in my stock Honda Civic. Makes me appreciate what I have in my living room hi-fi when I am doubting it. Sometimes you gotta hear bad to know what good is. | |
| Lightning quick DYNAMIC amp in the under $1000 range So what determines good dynamics? Is there any spec or part or mfg process that can reliably tell us this? Or you just have to listen? |
