| Do you think you need a subwoofer? "Too much Bass", an addiction! You are dead right, SirSpeedy.I just started weening myself down off heavy bass out of my subs this weekend. For the last couple of weeks I've been listening to an artificially high level just because I could and it ... | |
| Do you think you need a subwoofer? Don't worry Skushino,I have to wait until my girlfriend goes to bed before I can watch SciFi Channel or play computer games. And I'm 40 years old! Talk about a dork.I tried a listening session tonight of one sub versus two(summed mono). Same songs... | |
| Do you think you need a subwoofer? You're right, Doug....I don't own an equipment rack or isolation system yet, so I actually have to place my turntable down below in the dining room and use long IC's to get it away from LF energy right now. When notes hit those room mode frequenci... | |
| Cartridge for 12" Scheu Classic Unipivot arm ? I've got a Denon DL-103D mounted on my Scheu Tacco/Premier mkII combo right now and it sounds very, very, good. So good, that I have yet to even try the three other big name carts I own.Of course, take this with a big grain of salt because I am ne... | |
| Do you think you need a subwoofer? Hi Raul,I just burned RealTraps Test Tone CD onto a blank cd and have been playing with it for an hour or so.It's amazing how much output jumps on in the frequencies where there are room modes. Fells like 5x the volume or more. | |
| Do you think you need a subwoofer? Good idea Sstark,I'm going to get a decent SPL meter this week to help check my room problems with some test tone cd's, anyway.It's reassuring to hear that you are actually corssing in the subs that high(as compared to standard 80Hz) because my in... | |
| Do you think you need a subwoofer? Thanks for clearing that up Raul, I was just a little worried that I somehow burned up my subwoofer crossover. Everything sounded great when both the subs and main speakers were playing, but when I turned down the mains, the subs sounded muted and... | |
| Do you think you need a subwoofer? What does it sound like when running strictly a subwoofer or two below 80Hz?And what should I listen for when adjusting phase?I finally got a decent amp for my pair of passive subs, a Samson Servo 550 (275wpc). It's a pro/live amp used in clubs/ba... | |
| Do you think you need a subwoofer? Screenshoot of my RoomModeCalc ouput.Unfortunately, in the length mode, the closest my speakers can be to the rear wall is the 2nd order 47Hz null(5.75ft). Which makes sitting at te preferred mid-room 1st & 3rd null (12 ft) serious near field ... | |
| Do you think you need a subwoofer? Skushino - Fantastic article!!!!!I didn't get the concepts the first time I read it, but the next morning I went through it again using the Excel Room Mode Calculator spreadsheet with my room measurements and everything made sense.First of all, I ... | |
| Do you think you need a subwoofer? Skushino - Dave Whiner's ModeCalc shows that I have 2 room modes at 70Hz, 3 at 141Hz, 2 at 211Hz, 3 at 282Hz, and 2 at 353Hz.Running the IM-Bens w/o the subs is no real problem except when a sustained note(s) hit that 70Hz fundamental mode and it'... | |
| I need help selecting a tube amp Hi Dean,How big is your room? I remember those speakers because they had them in a auditorium at my college back in the 80's. You've got five of the 4435's in one room? Good Lord! Aren't two enough?Why don't you first tell us:1. how big your room ... | |
| Do you think you need a subwoofer? Hi Raul,I have the passive version of the Baileys, so I need an external crossover and amp(s) to use them with the fullrange Bans.But, so far I've been really concentrating on getting proper placement for the IM-Bens. These things really put out t... | |
| Do you think you need a subwoofer? Skushino, I've seen those Edgar subs at his shop which 15 minutes from my home. The Seismic is about the size of a refrigerator, but does bass in a way that I hve never heard before. Sound just eminates from all directions rather being pushed AT Y... | |
| Has anyone listened to the Grado Statement ? I have a Grado "The Statement" sitting here on my desk. It's stated output is 0.5mV. So, the Statement won't work with your PV-5 without some form of stepup unit. As for the sound, I haven't had the chance to cue it up yet because I just got my ta... |
