| Pair of Rel S510’s or Carbon Special’s? OP, the subwoofers produce waves that bounce around the room. The simple picture of a sub placed next to speakers doesn't do the complex physics justice. Take a look at this thread from 2021 -- there are many good posts on it. https://forum.au... | |
| A rookie with 10K, seeking advise @past says: Listen to Open Baffle, Electrostatic/Planar, standard box speakers. What I love about this answer is how practical it is. Others have emphasized the critical starting point of speakers and speaker-room synergy. This answer both pre... | |
| Pair of Rel S510’s or Carbon Special’s? @nyev REL makes fine products; they're also quite popular. I love my REL. But the issue for you is the constraint placed by positioning and whether REL's -- for their price and lack of flexibility with settings -- can get you where you want to go.... | |
| A rookie with 10K, seeking advise @soix @jjss49 Have been my go-to's for advice. Their comments should be taken most seriously. @jasonbourne52 suggestion of Devore is very interesting, but if I had Devore's I'd really want to drive them with tube gear. | |
| Pair of Rel S510’s or Carbon Special’s? @m-db @thyname Thanks -- I can see that the main goal is ultimately to buy a REL brand product. I was confused because the OP mentioned "speed and bass definition and quality...positioning constraints...and precision, ambience, clarity and spac... | |
| Pair of Rel S510’s or Carbon Special’s? Question for OP -- is your goal unequivocally to buy a REL or to create the best bass response possible in your room? Many posters here only mention or advocate for REL, so I may simply duck out of this conversation. | |
| Beginner improvements for room acoustics; very helpful Darko video on reverb and RT60 "measurement types" -- going in my Audiophile Glossary in the "abusive epithets" subcategory. | |
| Pair of Rel S510’s or Carbon Special’s? @baylinor @rhg3 @onhwy61 @nyev The phase setting came out real handy when I realized having both subs by the mains did not work....I moved the left one down a third of the length of the left wall and with the phasing dialed in for this one, ... | |
| Pair of Rel S510’s or Carbon Special’s? @nyev interesting subs and delayed phase feature, but to me it sounds like in my case I shouldn’t need a delayed phase feature since the subs will be practically in the same spot as my mains. Mine are, too, but in order to deal with room mod... | |
| Beginner improvements for room acoustics; very helpful Darko video on reverb and RT60 Ceiling is the one thing you can’t do in a living room. Doesn't your living room have a ceiling? ;-) | |
| Pair of Rel S510’s or Carbon Special’s? @nyev I am a bit worried about positioning. This is why my post about Rythmik is quite pertinent to you. If you are already married to REL, then you can disregard. I have both. They both sound good, but Rythmiks solved the room integration pu... | |
| Beginner improvements for room acoustics; very helpful Darko video on reverb and RT60 @djones51 Thanks for expanding on your comments. My experience with both absorption and diffusion massively changed the sound of my room. I'm presently in a space with a 6.5 foot ceiling, and putting absorption on the ceiling was a game changer ... | |
| Pair of Rel S510’s or Carbon Special’s? Rythmiks have adjustable phase which is very helpful for dialing in the subs and you are not paying the premium for a REL. My experience. "I was able to get results that I could live with from any position I tried; thanks largely to the flexibil... | |
| Need recommendations for a streamer @daledeee1 I did the same thing, and the Teddy Pardo seemed unnecessarily expensive. @jjss49 different streamers sound different because they manage noise, clocking, power supply, and physical isolation differently - the sonic difference can b... | |
| Need recommendations for a streamer I would hope that you compare the Node with the much more expensive streamers, especially if you're sending the signal out to a good DAC. You could save thousands if you don't hear a difference. |
