| Unusual(?) spade connection @elliottbnewcombjr & @tvad -- Thanks for the resources!I have never replaced spades or banana plugs. When cutting off the spades, is it crucial measure where to cut? Just concerned about cable lengths being the same. | |
| Unusual(?) spade connection @ millercarbon - Good to know the spade thing will work.Why is bi-wire a bad idea?btw. Thanks for sharing the Geddes Youtube link!Watched it a few times. I have experimented with sub placements as described in the video.First thing I noticed was ... | |
| Swarming! @jtcf Thanks! Please post your findings with the new panels.After hearing how noble100 noticed improvement in the midbass and up, I am now revisiting room treatments. As such, I would be interested to know your results as well since your listenin... | |
| Swarming! @audiokinesis - Duke, you mentioned: For unusually demanding applications like yours, there is a custom high-output version of the Swarm which is not up on my website. The footprint is 14" square, the height depends on how low you want to go. ... | |
| Biwire fix Thanks adg101!I will reach out to Chris at VH Audio.Thanks also for the jumper clarification! | |
| Biwire fix @islandmandan - Thanks for the VDH tip! Will check it out. Couldn't find anything on MIT. No website. Changing the connectors looks pretty involved. | |
| More Power or use subwoofer to boost bass for music @xcool - Hey if anyone wants to accuse me of being a DBA Swarm cult member, I will proudly wear that moniker. But to your point regarding room space (or lack thereof), I have just installed a DBA Swarm from AudioKinesis in a 10’ X 14’ room.3 subs ... | |
| What 4 subwoofers to buy? @audiokinesis and @millercarbon Huge +1! | |
| Swarming! I got a Dayton SA 1000 amp refurbished from Parts Express for $250. Duke at AudioKinesis suggested I go for it as it would save me cash. The amp started making a mechanical hum and caused the subs to occasionally make a popping sound.I called Duke... | |

| Swarming! @noble100 - Hey Tim! I just reviewed the Swarm experiments you shared with me.I faced the 3 ceiling facing subs towards their respective walls in accordance with Experiment #2. I also slid the sub on the shelf away from the corner and faced it a... | |
| Which is better for a DBA (Swarm); powered subs or unpowered? So, I am the new Swarm(er) noble100 mentioned.3 ceiling facing subs (3 inches from ceiling) and one on the floor.10’ x 14’ room with minimal acoustic treatments.So far, outstanding improvements with Magnepan LRS and Ologe 5 speakers.Switched over ... | |
| Which is better for a DBA (Swarm); powered subs or unpowered? @cheeg FWIW - I have just received an set up my Swarm DBA in a small 10' x 14' room with excellent results. I previously tried different subwoofers, none of which could provide reliable quality bass. The room is just too small and easily overwhe... | |
| Swarming! Swarm tuning update:I switched my main speakers from the LRS to the Ologe 5 this morning.Sensitivity and frequency response ratings are close (Ologe 5: 89db LRS: 86db), and both reach down to about 50Hz.However, at similar volume levels, the LRS r... | |
| Swarming! Thanks Tim! Good to hear your positive experience with room treatments. I have some "starter" bass traps from Arrowzoom and some acoustical insulation, DIY frame pieces etc. in the garage. Was so impressed with the Swarm that I didn't feel the u... |
