| Audio discounts during Coronavirus @abery Good points. I saved a long time before I started to finally put together my system and while in some ways it seems an extravagance, and this will sound maudlin, I feel powerless and want to try to enjoy something I deeply appreciate before... | |
| Break in time that extends to months or maybe even years!! +1almarg. No reason to doubt the person. What's interesting to me is to understand how the evaluation process was done. To know the amp was changing after that much time, it would also be necessary to know that nothing else in the complex system (... | |
| How to connect monoblocks to a single REL sub with ONE RCA input @ieales I appreciate your input and will look at the links. There are now a lot of different opinions out there. The amp mfr says it’s fine. REL prefers high level to their own sub if there are two subs. Otherwise, they say low level but have no a... | |
| How to connect monoblocks to a single REL sub with ONE RCA input Thanks, daveyf. I can't remember where I read that it should be at least 10, but my space is only about 500 sq feet so I bet your setup would work well. I'm sure we could start a shooting match over in "Speakers" if we tried...let's not. | |
| How to connect monoblocks to a single REL sub with ONE RCA input @jl35 Got you. And that makes me feel good! Since I just got these amps, I will have a chance to live with the setup for a while and see how itis.@daveyf That's a really interesting point -- two smaller subs. I read somewhere not to go smaller tha... | |
| How to connect monoblocks to a single REL sub with ONE RCA input @djones51 -- Thanks. That may be helpful. @jl35 Agreed. I got this $1800 sub used for $900 because it just wasn’t in my budget to spend more. It’s now hard to find. I might sell it and get two lesser subs (maybe smaller REL’s). But for my present ... | |
| How to connect monoblocks to a single REL sub with ONE RCA input @djones51 -- Interesting. Just reading the manual. "3.8 MONO/STEREO MODE The 2 Way Advanced 21 plugin supports mixing of two output channels, allowing this plugin to be used in “2.1” applications where a mono subwoofer signal is derived from a ste... | |
| How to connect monoblocks to a single REL sub with ONE RCA input @almarg Great to hear. I certainly want to avoid any issues. I *assume* that if I start to hear a hum that I’ll just disconnect the setup. I asked QS in several emails about grounding to preamp chassis and that suggestion wasn’t even taken up in t... | |
| How to connect monoblocks to a single REL sub with ONE RCA input @almarg Connections, Subwoofer speakon connectors to monoblocks:Red to Right +Black to Right -Yellow to Left +Regarding outputs that are "balanced or bridged" I don't know how to tell — but if it's indicative, there are only RCA connectors on the ... | |
| Audio discounts during Coronavirus +1 bflood If a forum topic doesn't interest me, I don't read or comment on it. Saves me time. | |
| Sales or clearances happening now @revrob Glad to hear you say that. By the time I get these speakers it will probably be 9 months since ordering. | |
| How to connect monoblocks to a single REL sub with ONE RCA input Update from me: I tried the high level. Connected to both mono blocks. No hum. Works fine. (Will it last?) | |
| How to connect monoblocks to a single REL sub with ONE RCA input Update from Quicksilver: "I would connect the ground wire to the right channel amp ground just as they [I believe I quoted Almarg] suggest. If there is a hum then you might have to connect the woofer to just one channel that is disconnect the lef... | |
| Audio discounts during Coronavirus @revrob I'd be curious what you wind up with. Good luck and I hope you find enjoyment! | |
| How to connect monoblocks to a single REL sub with ONE RCA input @imhififan I am so very glad to have this forum. I have no idea why they gave me this advice. The advice you gave -- the converter box -- would NOT cause the issue of the Y cable though. Is that right? (I know you recommended it but I want to make... |
