| The order of getting more/better bass My room is 14 by 20 with12 foot ceilings. My Golden Ear Triton Reference speakers give jaw dropping sound in this room with the speakers set up on the long wall. I know you hate GE speakers. So your advice is to get a speaker with a built ... | |
| Inflated prices in audio 1 - Shift from a hobbyists pastime to consumer's pastime. 2 - Lack of cognoscenti3 - Belief that sales price determines quality. This is why the true audiophile can be happy spending less. He/She is guided by their own ear and pleasure and is not ... | |
| The order of getting more/better bass Here is a challenge: Given a modest living room, say 12’ x 20’ x 8-10’ ceilings. Audiophile has a 2-way speaker system he really likes but now she/he would like more bass. What would you recommend instead of my suggestions, @douglas_schroeder , @j... | |
| The order of getting more/better bass If you want to fill a large room with quality sound that you can play at a decent level, a 2 way stand mount speaker system with a sub or two will not cut it. Please re-read my very first sentence, and pay careful attention to the audience I... | |
| The order of getting more/better bass Hi @jsautter , Thank you for being constructive, and specific in your criticisms. I especially appreciate how you used your personal experience to explain your difference of opinion and how you feel your choices made your experience better.Nothin... | |
| The midi range, not the tweeter, is the most important driver in a speaker. I never said the Scanspeaks lacked in midrange. They are wonderful. I only meant to say they also had big deep bass in the right cabinet. Never said they were chest thumpers either. The integration of a speaker with the room is so critically impor... | |
| Can two subwoofers reduce a bass problem? To uber and bstatmeister: That's what I do, so long as the pre signal is controlled by your volume control. The bad news is you have no control over the satellite's frequency response. On the other hand, you also can't mess it up. Since the miniDS... | |
| Should Subwoofer Be Plugged Into Same Circuit? Help prevent, yes. Absolutely required, no. It's pretty easy to tell when you hear it. :) | |
| Can two subwoofers reduce a bass problem? oh, I mean, without bass traps, nulls are hard to fix. If you get some, then you should find the nulls are easier to pry. As for which, for RCA connections:https://www.minidsp.com/products/minidsp-in-a-box/minidsp-2x4-hdFor balanced: https://www.m... | |
| Can two subwoofers reduce a bass problem? Get a miniDSP equalizer on the sub only. You'll love it. :) Don't try to fix the null too much. If it resists, leave it alone, but clipping the peaks and tilting the bass the right direction (peaking around 20hz, about 1.5 db/octave down after tha... | |
| Streaming Audio Cuts Out Frequently If on wifi, first thing is get a phone app to check for channel contention. Move your router to least used channel | |
| Can two subwoofers reduce a bass problem? BTW, OP you never mention if your problem is a peak or a null. If it's a peak, EQ is your friend. | |
| How many times have you ... In your case it may very well be your entire system is balanced for those older recordings. :) As for me, it kind of depends. I've heard a number of remasters that I honestly can't hear any difference at all, then I bought a RM of Pink Floyd's DSo... | |
| The order of getting more/better bass Hi @douglas_schroeder Thank you for being specific, constructive and offering meaningful counter points based on your personal experience. Your ability to convey that all in what would otherwise seem like an incomplete sentence is something I will... | |
| Are the really pricey HT Pre Amps worth it? << sigh >> I wish. The biggest problem with some mega-price pres is their likelihood of remaining in business. I had a Theta Casanova, and I _loved_ it for music and movies. Couldn't keep up with HDMI though. It was a significantly bet... |
