| speakers and cables @grislybutter , It sounds good from the sweetspot. From everywhere else, it’s a mess. It sounded significantly better with one sub. on this, it would make a big difference to me whether the SQ in the sweet spot was SIGNIFICANTLY better than be... | |
| Discerning a positive or negative change in a system To me, it’s not that one can identify what the change is but whether you experience the music differently with it. It does not matter what “it” is, but rather how you react to “it”. I have kind of struggled to put what you just did, up above, i... | |
| Judging speakers to purchase. stellar phase coherency @knottscott , can you expound upon that? | |
| speakers and cables If that’s the case I believe you can hook it up the way I suggested, like daisy chaining. Don’t know if that’s something you want to try but I’d sure be curious how it works out for you. Seems simpler than buying all that other stuff. @thecarpa... | |
| Small Discrepancies in Speaker Placement @rlb61 , I am playing with speaker placement in a small room myself. What have you found is working best for you as far as distance from the wall? (Meaning the wall directly in front of the speakers that you are facing when you listen.) | |
| speakers and cables thanks @immathewj we were on two different high pass filters, now I get it. . . . and both of them basically performing the same function. | |
| speakers and cables "@thecarpathian Does the speaker level output on sub1 put out the full signal or a high pass filtered signal? This was asked before, it puts out the full signal according to my tests and @deep_333" And, although already asked and answered, I ... | |
| speakers and cables @immathewj this is the high pass filter, I don't see two sets of outputs @grisly, this is what I was referring to: high pass filter The guy who is selling this is calling it a " Passive Electronic Crossover High Pass Filter Subwoofer C", but... | |
| speakers and cables Ok so this would only work with the Y splitter - in the preamp - amp scenario? Envision it this way: high pass filter INSTEAD of ’Y’ splitters. FROM the preamp L & R RCA outs TO the high pass L & R RCA ins FROM the high pass there wi... | |
| speakers and cables Ok so this would only work with the Y splitter - in the preamp - amp scenario? As emphatically as possible: NO!! (Give me a couple of minutes; I'll come back to this.) | |
| speakers and cables almost there. Very dumb question (you are used it to by now) does the high pass filter go between amp and main speakers? Or between preamp and amp? OOPS for the 3rd time. I didn’t see this. Not a dumb question. The high pass filter goes in bet... | |
| speakers and cables OOPS again! I think maybe @mswale was talking about replacing the existing low pass filter that is already in your sub? To one that can be adjusted lower than 80 hZ to better match up with the low frequencies of your mains ? (I’ll stay out of it n... | |
| speakers and cables @grislybutter: I won’t try to speak for @mswale, but a HIGH PASS filter is what I thought he meant, and I certainly screwed up (OOPS!) when I posted above by referring to a HP filter a a LP filter. I edited my post. You already have an adjustable... | |
| speakers and cables I don’t mind adding a low pass filter and reconnecting my subs. A high pass filter would actually simplify your subwoofer connection. Speakers would be. You’d need one extra pair of RCA interconnects to go from your preamp into your high pass a... | |
| Would like to try a tube preamp after years of solid state and hybrid @charliehorse, as I mentioned previously, preamp tubes (and those are 6SN7s in the SLP98) do not get roasting hot like amp output tubes do, but I’d still like to give them some breathing room up top. I just did a quick search on the internet and i... |
