| Experience with stacked subwoofers? @m-db The manufacturer manual has them noted to reach down to 12Hz, I let them go as low as they want and they cut off around 80Hz. To answer placement these towers are right next to the main speakers about 5ft and 7ft off back wall respectively (... | |
| Experience with stacked subwoofers? @dbastin Haha. Yes I guess you could count them that way. I certainly don’t lack any base in music or movies and the room is loaded effortlessly. I integrate them using an active crossover using 12 biquads per channel made from using Room EQ Wizar... | |
| Experience with stacked subwoofers? I have four subs total in the system and the main subs are Kinergetics SW-800 sub towers with five 10” Seas individually inclosed subwoofers in the cabinet. The other two are SVS SB-16 Ultras. They all sound amazing together! Good luck! Thanks... | |
| How close are you to being to your endgame? My system outline and I'm almost there. Congrats on getting there! I’m 99% finished and don’t think it really can get much better. I’ve thought that somewhere out there it could be better and often think so when I go to AXPONA and hear the megabuck systems but slowly and surely I have u... | |
| How good is the crossover in your loudspeakers? @russbutton Awesome detail, I wish more people understood how critical it is to learn how to use and active crossover to get the best out of the music, speakers, amps, and the room. I was an early adopter of the dspNexus from Danville Signal Proce... | |
| How good is the crossover in your loudspeakers? I ripped out my passive crossovers in my Magnepan 20.1 and have an active crossover from Danville Signal Processing using the DSP Nexus 2x8 and apply room correction and time alignment via 12 biquads per channel. The results are stunning. Why both... | |
| Have you reached your end point with this addictive hobby? @hiendmmoe Yes I think you are right. | |
| Have you reached your end point with this addictive hobby? Almost done. . . I just returned from AXPONA and had a fantastic time. It’s a tradition for my family to go each year and love every minute. We heard many amazing expensive systems and it was really exciting to hear the flagship Magicos along with... | |
| Do You Unplug Equipment During Thunderstorms? Yes! The best app to use if you want to know what is in the area is the Weather Bug. I had my system get hit by lightening. It came through the cable into the cable box, fried my video processor via HDMI, then killed my projector. That’s when I bo... | |
| Any piece of equipment you currently dream of ? Last piece for me is BACCH. I built my system around its principles and got a chance to listen to it at AXPONA last year. . . Mind blowing. | |
| Bacch Dsp, True stereo? My last post was before AXPONA in Chicago. Edward spoke and had a demo room. I had my dad, a trained pianist who has performed numerous 2.5 hour concerts playing all the greats, and my wife, professionally recorded and sang to pay for college in h... | |
| What does your Virtual System page say about you? This is interesting, I never thought about this and just listed the system as I thought it made sense. . . Speakers first. Most important and impactful component at the top of the list. I would rate the room #1 as that is the biggest hurdle to ove... | |
| Large speakers plus EQ, what have you done? I’ve had awesome results with my new Danville dspNexus with newly released SHARC processor playing 8 channels with 12 biquads per channel. I have 20.1 Magnepan speakers running full range (no passive crossovers except the internal tweeter) and fou... | |
| The Absolute Sound posts a video about a new product development from Magnepan, but... I use four subs to support my 20.1s. Two Kinergetics towers with five 10” Seas in individual enclosures powered by a Pass X-250. I also have two 16” sealed SVS SB-16 Ultras to fix the room modes. They integrate seamlessly and I vertically bi-amp m... | |
| AXPONA 2024 I mentioned to those that asked how great it was to see so many people at the show this year, the hobby is alive! Went back twice to hear the Magico A5s - Just super impressed at the range, coherence, soundstage, effortlessness with which they p... |
