| Is Luxman a poor man's D'Agostino ? I never could find the Dan D’Agostino Progression Stereo amp review. Does anyone know where it is? Specifically, the one that Terry did. | |
| Pass labs x260.8 versus xa160.8 Heat is probably the biggest issue with these amps. If you have a sealed room, it can get very warm in there. Cost of running Class A, compared to A/AB is is more expensive as well. Bass will be a bit tighter with Pass Labs Class A/AB amps. The nu... | |
| Critical subwoofer tip I won't criticize anyone who sets theirs subs up by ear. Everyone has their own way to do things. That's all part of the fun.However, I think it's kind of like watching a car drive past and guessing how fast it's going w/out using a radar gun.I sp... | |
| Critical subwoofer tip Your suggestion is how lots of people try to figure out where to set the phase.TAS suggests doing what you’re saying, but reverse your speaker cables so your mains are out of phase first. Using an SPL meter takes any guessing out of the equation, ... | |
| Critical subwoofer tip @mitch2 If you're subs are hitting any frequency same as the mains, then it matters. It's either in-phase or out-of-phase, that is, the sub drivers are moving in the same direction as your mains. When they are out of phase, you run the risk of hav... | |
| Critical subwoofer tip Here’s some REW measurements I did today showing how changing the phase on the subwoofers effects frequency response.This isn’t about how good/bad the subs/mains/room are.No changes for volume or crossovers on the subs, phase only.Descriptions in ... | |
| Critical subwoofer tip @mapman Level matching and setting the Phase are the simplest, providing your subs have the functionality. It's everything else that makes it more difficult in my experience. Room placement, selecting the correct crossover(s), and loudness (within... | |
| Critical subwoofer tip @newtoncr - you are correct, measurements should be from listening position, thanks for mentioning this. Also, I should have mentioned, the subs and main speakers should be level matched first.@audioguy85 - I get it, there's some guy's that don't ... | |
| Critical subwoofer tip @larry5729, you really should start with level matching your speakers to your subs instead of just turning down the volume where you can barely hear your subs. At least this will give you a much better starting point for where the volume should ... | |
| Critical subwoofer tip OP is specifically commenting about setting up Phase.With the subs I have, this was the easiest part of the whole process.Reverse cables on main speakers.Play sine wave file with same frequency as subwoofer crossover (ie 50Hz). Turn volume up unti... | |
| Critical subwoofer tip @zappas, curious what sub do you have, and did you use SPL meter? | |
| Critical subwoofer tip REW disagrees with what millercarbon is saying.In fact, phase, crossover, loudness, and room position all have an effect on getting the best distributed bass out of the room.Crossover and loudness don’t necessarily all have to be the same on any o... | |
| Will Sasha II work in a 11.5 x 26 ft room @capeman From the listening position, the speakers are toed in, front of speaker is 24", back of speaker is 14.5" to the closest distance to the side wall. The farthest distance to the front of the speaker is 35" from the side wall (inside front o... | |
| Will Sasha II work in a 11.5 x 26 ft room Sasha's will work in that room, and I also suggest room treatment because you'll enjoy your system much better, especially if you like to listen a bit loud. Don't be afraid to add panels to the ceiling between the speakers and sitting area as well... | |
| Two subwoofers for two channel music listening I think only advantage REL offers with high-level is convenience factor.I agree using line-level direct to subwoofer is probably a better approach.Pre-amp (or using DAC direct line-level) to amp -> High-Level connection to Subwoofer -> Drop ... |
