Vandersteen Sub woofers v Rythmik Subs
so got rid of the Samson S-convert and now running strictly unbalanced with my TS connectors, I must say the biggest difference has been the decrease in background noise. On LPs the back ground hiss is barely noticeable and have to get right up to... 
Vandersteen Model 2D?
Hi tomic, when you say this: VLR with carbon tweeter coming soon !!! What you reckon the price might be on these? (I realize you wouldn't have anything specific, but I think you might have a good ballpark idea ;) ) You think it might double the ...

you do need to be careful to not fry your sub amp......grounds and hots hyper critical..... What do you mean by this?Also, just got my TS plugs last night, so itching to see if a simpler run from the pre-amp to the amp (although now unbalanced)... 
Vandersteen Model 2D?
I was at a recent RV seminar and he discussed his goal of bringing pistonic cones to his entire range, i.e., elevating pistonic behavior to the same importance as time/phase correct behavior.  I think that is going to require a technology differen... 
Vandersteen Model 2D?
Yeah, I kinda thought RV might be tapped out at this price point, but it's still fun to discuss the possibilities!

If the TS connections sound better than the XLR with the Samson (which is the hope since I will be removing additional stuff) I will be a happy camper since the unbalanced Vandersteen cross-overs are significantly cheaper if I'm not mistaken. (Hon...

Yep 1/4" inch mic/headphone plug same thing as a TS plug (I think TS is used more in the pro audio world) and my amp is a pro audio amp. It's a behringer EP2500, it's got a lot of power and was inexpensive so that's why I bought it. It was pretty ...

If I get rid of the samson, looks like I need something like this:https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B078R2FBC9/ref=mp_s_a_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1526755689&sr=8-2-spons...

Now I remember why I have the samson s-convert. My amp does not support RCA Jack's. Just TS or XLR. I suppose I could buy a plug that converts RCA to TS and give that a whirl?

What are the differences between the dip switches and the pig tails? Is there a default?What about the M5-HP with balanced connections? As a nice monkey wrench, my current preamp situation is this:preamp out with unbalanced RCA into a Samson S-con... 
Vandersteen Sub woofers v Rythmik Subs
Are the M5-HPs variable like the  MX-2? or do you have to order them fixed based off the impedance of the amp? 
Vandersteen Sub woofers v Rythmik Subs
Lol. Does it make a difference? I think RV just said "a corner" for his recommended placement. Not sure he specified right or left if you only have one...

For me what's most important is to have the best experience possible in the sweet spot. How the bass does in other parts of the room is not as important as that precious, precious sweet spot. I think my game plan is to get 1 vandy sub to start wit... 
High End Reproduction is back
Good God that looks expensive 
Vandersteen Sub woofers v Rythmik Subs
I guess I am confused about the differences in the way you configure the Rythmik via the speaker binding posts compared with the way the Vandy does it. I know you have to put in an analog high pass filter between the amp and the preamp in order fo...
