| JBL 4367 = Sleep Denervation I am still really enjoying the JBL 4367. If anything my opinion over the last month has only improved. I think there are two standout sound qualities that are special. #1 they just play so effortlessly. I listen louder than I should, often volume... | |
| Add sub to 802D4s? Two 12” subs nothing less. every octave lower requires 4 times the throw or surface area for the same SPL. Your speakers have 100in2 of surface area each and a single 12 has 113”in2. So really even larger would be better… Anyone who thinks sub... | |
| Picking Speakers 20k-30k Wow $38k for the Rockport Atria II. Talk about inflation. | |
| Picking Speakers 20k-30k Hmm you have Paradigm Persona 3F with matching subs now? You are already there speaker wise. You are chasing a ghost. Do you use the anthem for bass management/crossover? If so you might get better sound with higher end separates. Keep in mind you... | |
| Add sub to 802D4s? I demoed the 802D4 on McIntosh MC611s and 2700 preamp. It sounded pretty good. Then I came home and listened to the same songs on my system with two subs highpassed at 60hz (Revel 228be, JL audio E112, MC462 amp). The bass was so much better on my... | |
| Will I benefit from upgrading REL subwoofer pair Yes for sure IMO. But first measure the room with something like REW (it is free, just need a mic). Secondly I would add a highpass filter first before changing subs. 99% of disconnect is frequency related. | |
| low frequencies I have a pair of Thiel 2.4 in my second system. They were in my main system for a few years. I have owned them for a very long time and have had them in 4 rooms with at two different houses. The Thiels have great low bass extension and texture. Me... | |
| High end speakers at low volume You need a dynamic speaker to sound good at low volume. I have only heard the Sabrina on your list. It is ok but low efficacy and probably nothing special at low volume. It was fine when I demoed it but I probably ran it around 90db for the demo. ... | |
| Basic Budget Bookshelf speakers JBL 630 at $700 per pair would be in my list. Having heard the older 530s and similar kefs I would guess the JBL is more dynamic top to bottom. Just a guess as I have not heard them but have heard both brands speaker ranges. 60 day trial available... | |
| How do I know if my systems any good? Honestly gauge it against a pair of headphones. Headphones are a good gut check to see how your room is too. Headphones have issues too like pad bounce in the cups that cause issue around 2k but most good ones are very good. | |
| Moving on a sailboat - bookshelf speakers? I would buy powered speakers with room correction. Genelec or something like the JBL 4329P, and many others. | |
| horn or line array? I found the demonstration at the 1:30 mark in this video very interesting. How the lack of horizontal sound shift of a line source compares to a constant directivity horn is hard to say. https://youtu.be/8c-gD4mwI8A | |
| horn or line array? Horn/line array combos are what JBL uses in their professional line. The VTX V25 units are what I am thinking of. They stack into a line source but would be comically large for home use and ugly. But honestly they are probably pretty high fidelity... | |
| horn or line array? Both, horn in a line array lol. | |
| All new Yamaha YH-5000 Review ! This video playing live measurements is pretty fascinating. https://youtu.be/-7TnsAA7cz4 |
