| Subwoofers and Phase Question For You Sub Experts Um, what you haven't convinced me of, at all, is that your problem is "phase" related.It's the entire integration of the subwoofer to speaker and room. That's what you are describing. Adding a mini DSP correctly will allow you to perfectly blend i... | |
| Subwoofers and Phase Question For You Sub Experts Hey Rooze, If you use your subwoofer in a review environment, you should use miniDSP. What I'd suggest is you do it for the subwoofer alone. This lets you leave every other part of your chain undisturbed. Best,E | |
| Subwoofers and Phase Question For You Sub Experts Personally, whenever I have heard Hsu's, they do not have much in the way of definition...and as such tend to deliver bass heft, but not bass resolution. ( which is great for HT, but not so much for our audio systems). It's all in the EQ in fr... | |
| Why no speakers with remote control tone controls? Speaker level tone controls universally suck. The high currents require big connectors in the switches which invariably get dirty. On top of that, the simplicity/complexity of adjusting the tone means you either have a super simple level shift, or... | |
| Subwoofers and Phase Question For You Sub Experts Hi Rooze,I know swarms and more subs are the popular thing, but I dono't think that's the first direction. I have a Hsu and I love it, but integration is key. The issues you have described may not be phase related at all. Do you have any bass trap... | |
| Going linear - The Luxman 507ux Hey @brostymieNot a jump, but if you have speakers that are difficult to drive with low impedance areas the 509 has extra output transistors and more power supply to make it perform better. Best,E | |
| Oppo 103D streaming issues Make sure your Oppo is well ventilated, and that it isn't sitting right on top of a heat generating device! :) | |
| Just purchased an Anthem AVM 50 to Frankenstein with my Luxman 507 I can has 8 channel LPCM over HDMI???? I so happy! Just realized my Oppo BD player can decode True HD directly and feed my AV processor LPCM, and I only need 1 cable! Yeay! | |
| Been asked before but... One sub or two? You can always add a sub, but this is what I'd do to start: Keep the existing sub. Add GIK soffit traps in the corners. I like to stack 2 of them. Add miniDSP to EQ the existing sub. Most of what you'll need to do is kill exaggerated room modes. | |
| Just purchased an Anthem AVM 50 to Frankenstein with my Luxman 507 The vendor was nice enough to deliver! All was fine until I realized the bastard included a power cord. Like I need another in this house ... | |
| My stereo receiver is a little too bright. Can a cable help me out? I have made the mistake of spending a lot of money re-building much better preamps (Conrad Johnson PV 5, PV 10) from the 80s and 90s because I felt I couldn’t afford new. Those are classic designs. If you do this, there’s about 3 things you should... | |
| Speakers or room Talk to GIK Acoustics. They have some very pretty panels, including custom art panels. Always start with the room, IMHO. A good room is more speaker forgiving. | |
| Are sound bars worth it? Most TV's have at least an optical digital out. Just have to make sure you set the output to stereo or DD. So, HDMI from cable box to TV, optical digital from there. My new LG sadly lacks analog outs, but my previous TV had a mini stereo jack ou... | |
| What is the most FUN pair of speakers you've ever had and why? AR 93s probably. :) | |
| Switched to Ls50 wireless; they sucked the “Life” out of my music I honestly have a difficult time imagining how you ended up here. You say you had listening sessions which "brought tears to my eyes." That's a lot to abandon, and switch to a random set of speakers. |
