| Me vs. JL Audio - An open discussion. I've never owned JL Audio subs. I like their performance and the measurements I've seen of their room tuning quite a bit. However, wow. Super expensive. Hard to believe the average audiophile can't get a lot more value using a Hsu or SVS sub with ... | |
| Watts and power Oops, sorry meant to say: simpler 3rd order low pass Best,E | |
| Watts and power Hey there @audiozenology That dip in impedance is a factor of woofer electro-electromechanical properties and sometimes a 2.5/3.5 way folding in another driver. Crossover may shunt current from woofer to tame a peak. The speakers in question were... | |
| Considering the option of "DSP speakers" Hey @andy2 I won’t say I’ve ever heard exactly what you described, but this is a large reason why I only use DSP on the sub. I think Krell HT preamps have this option, and I think it’s a good idea. Of course, room treatment is always a good thing,... | |
| How do wireless subwoofers do this? Ideally, the sub handles the integration seamlessly. Yes, you can do this without adding a filter on the satellites. I do it this way. I suggest if your main speakers are ported, seal them before calibrating. Best,E | |
| Me vs. JL Audio - An open discussion. There is actually an even worse way to do this:Use DSP to create your crossovers, then global EQ to bang the living heck out of the results. UGH. I see this not just with subs but with multi-way DIY systems. Don't do that. | |
| Me vs. JL Audio - An open discussion. Hey dpac996 , just FYI. | |
| Me vs. JL Audio - An open discussion. I should also state that my process is pretty complicated. :) I bet there are Room EQ Wizard forums that make this whole thing a lot simpler. I haven't investigated because I like being in the weeds, but you absolutely should, come back and tell u... | |
| Me vs. JL Audio - An open discussion. Adding A Subwoofer. This is just too long. It’s as if the author is trying to impress us, and impress upon us that we cannot do this. Well, we can. It’s just a giant pain in the ass. :) There are six paragraphs which are unnecessarily complex, but... | |
| Eh hem!...Subwoofers... What do ya know? I am reading the JL Audio article on sub integration. I'll be responding to it shortly. Honestly it's a bit of a mess, but I agree with their main points. As much as I like how well their room correction works, I find this article attempting to m... | |
| Seating height and bass If I remember correctly, most speakers want the tweeter to be positioned at ear height. That would be step number one. That's a good starting point. This isn't always true. Some B&W's seem to measure much better at midrange axis, but only yo... | |
| Watts and power After a lot of listening and reading speaker specs here is what I feel to be true:Amps, including solid state, are a lot more susceptible to low impedance in the bass region than we should expect by the common mathematical models. If you have a sp... | |
| Seating height and bass OP:Tweeters get darker off-axis. That is, they have the most HF output if you are listening to them directly, and as you go off axis the high frequencies roll off. See figure 6 (yeah, this is lateral, but horizontal should be similar):https://www.... | |
| Luxman M-600A Wet caps made in the 2000's are a lot more reliable. You probably have another 20 years with them. Best,Erik | |
| PCM and DSD and MQA server Well, sorry to tell you but all streamers are computers of some sort. They all just hide it. I have to say that the only reason I'd spend any money on them really is the user interface/usability. Spend money on whatever you find easier to use, and... |
