| I wan't the best in this price range Personally, I'd recommend the Triton 3+ over the DT's or the Triton 5's here and this is why: I know the 3+'s are 500 USD/pair more than the 5's, but I highly suspect the 3+'s will perform better at the frequency extremes than the others you're co... | |
| Do audiophiles hate large subwoofers? @bdp24, thank you very kindly for the scoop! I may have some figuring to do in the long run. I'm trying something else for now, but it's definitely nice to have a plan B to turn to if things here don't pan out well! | |
| Do audiophiles hate large subwoofers? @bdp24, interesting... Is there any way to confirm or distinguish between what the crossover point maximum is and what the true roll off frequency of the amplifier itself is...that might be critical for me. | |
| Do audiophiles hate large subwoofers? Actually, I should say that integration issues (one by one) become increasingly less problematic the lower in frequency the crossover point goes (generally) and that integrations problems will not usually altogether ’disappear’ until that point is... | |
| Do audiophiles hate large subwoofers? "Low bass is a whole different animal." Yes! I'll grant you that. It's only where I (or others) try to integrate at a bit higher than typical frequencies (like 170 Hz and at 1rst order) does it seem to complicate things. In my own setup, if I deli... | |
| Do audiophiles hate large subwoofers? @bdp24 Yes, thank you, I must confess I did think long and hard about Danny's servo subs. They were quite attractive to me.I wound up going with going with Crown XTi 2 amps and a pair of Acoustic Elegance 18" Dipole woofers (on order) for the main... | |
| Do audiophiles hate large subwoofers? @lalitk, I believe I know what you're onto with something like the REL's and I don't doubt your voracity at all. But I'm a different sort of customer in a sense in that if your main speakers go down low enough, then something like a REL would be a... | |
| Do audiophiles hate large subwoofers? I don't see much wrong with them. It's not really the larger drivers, it's more that it can be a problem of one kind or other to get them into a "small" enough box and still sound very good. And there's the problem of the lack of proper control en... | |
| Who uses power conditioning? I use Alan Maher Designs which in my system consists now of a multitude of various filters, AC duplex and power cords. Have spent many thousands on it since 2010 and to say it makes a "night-and-day" difference does not do it any justice. But plug... | |
| To twist or keep separate If you’re running each 4TC as a separate positive or negative run, then it would be good I think to twist them as the noise-canceling effect of the weave will have been bypassed within each leg at that point, unless you twist them. | |
| To twist or keep separate I would not think it important to keep them together. Theses Kimbers are a woven design that’s meant to minimize the electrical field. The effectiveness of the weave may not be exactly 100%, but may be slightly negative overall or slightly positiv... | |
| Should an amp have a "personality"? My apologies then, I shouldn't have said it to you the way I did. I hope you can forgive me. | |
| Should an amp have a "personality"? No No. I'm not copping an attitude. That's not my way of telling you to get lost. I'm just trying to give you my honest 2 cents on it is all. Sometimes the hardest system building problems turn out to be the best opportunities for achievement if w... | |
| Should an amp have a "personality"? Sooo......you don't want to overspend on power treatments, a new serious amp OR less demanding speakers. All presumably (largely) because any of that costs too much.Then my friend I think you are in a real pickle...one that I don't know how you mi... | |
| Should an amp have a "personality"? @andy2 I agree. There's a difference between "neutrality" as an absolute theoretical and as a subjective impression. Either an amp in our system sounds like it's neutral to us or it doesn't.It should go without saying that there is no component th... |
