| Help - Subwoofer Crossover when both REL T/5i & Marantz AV7702mkII have Crossover settings Small/large refers to the amount of bass they can output, not to their physical size. :) The real choice is up to you. I'd let it run and listen for yourself.Set to small, the bass will be routed to the sub. Set to large, they will run full range ... | |
| Smooth sounding integrated <$1k Check out the NAD mini hybrid Class D. | |
| Are your speakers designed for your listening taste and hearing ability? Thats what nigel thinks but the other possibility is that the measurements are all wrong and so is his interpretation of them. Please tell us everything you know about interpreting data badly, Kenjit. What you fail to understand is that my standar... | |
| Toole and why I like Tone Controls Sorry, to clarify before some one starts making their speaker cables from actual clothes lines....I meant that the sound that you hear from sheets flapping on a clothes line is what early CD bass sounds like. Floppy, lifeless, like there's nothing... | |
| Toole and why I like Tone Controls Erik, cracking me up, have no idea what a sheet drying on a clothesline sounds like. But love the way they turn out. Haha. :) Just like a flag flapping in the wind. :) | |
| Toole and why I like Tone Controls Hey @tomic601 I don't need to look up the Palette, I remember it. I'll never see one in real life, but I remember. :) Best,E | |
| Are your speakers designed for your listening taste and hearing ability? I have found there are a lot of “screaming tweeters” on the market. @verdantaudio Oh yeah there are. The reality is, to get more perceived detail in the sound profile manufacturers turn the volume on the tweeter up a bit. From some careful exam... | |
| Which amp would you go with Among those choices, for sure, Arcam. Love their amp signature, closest I've heard to Ayre. Best,E | |
| Help - Subwoofer Crossover when both REL T/5i & Marantz AV7702mkII have Crossover settings TBC: Leave your sub at 250Hz.If your AVR does not automatically set crossover points, then set them in the AVR to 80. Leave your L/R speakers set to "large". Everything else set to "small." | |
| Help - Subwoofer Crossover when both REL T/5i & Marantz AV7702mkII have Crossover settings Here’s the question: do these 2 Crossover settings compete with each other?Yes, they do. If your sub has a crossover defeat switch you should use it, otherwise set it to the highest Hz possible, and re-run. Let your AVR set everything. I'd read th... | |
| There's a lot more bass in a 6.5" driver than most of you think The one area where EQ is unquestionably needed is in the bass, below about 400-500 Hz - room modes and adjacent boundary effects. It is necessary to attenuate resonant peaks, avoiding filling narrow acoustical interference dips. With multiple sub... | |
| Are your speakers designed for your listening taste and hearing ability? IME, a lot of high end speakers are designed to appeal to the consumer who has a certain amount of ’hearing loss’ due to age Yes. This has been my point about Stereophile speaker darlings for years. Maybe it’s changed, but for a while the speaker... | |
| Toole and why I like Tone Controls I tend to find myself boosting the bass a little on vinyl and cutting the treble on cds. Speaking of which, we've all heard how bad early CD's were. From Talking Heads to U2, some of it was crap. The bass sounds like a sheet drying on a clothesl... | |
| Soft Dome tweeter If none of the ideas above work, depending on the tweeter, you may be able to disassemble the tweeter and reform the dome after you have removed it from the motor. See if there are 3 small screws right around the dome, if so, this could work. | |
| Do I need a sub? does it matter where a small small sub goes? Usually. Since you have a variety of options, put the sub where you'll listen, then walk around the room until you hear the best bass. That's where to put your sub! :) |
