| JL Audio CR-1 Crossover Question for the CR-1 owners. Do you notice any added hiss when using it? I have been using the internal highpass crossover in my JL E112 subs and while they seem very transparent I get some added hiss to my system (I am assuming a high gain outpu... | |
| Made the move: Focal Maestro 3 to Focal Maestro EVO Nice, enjoy. | |
| Subwoofer Choice SVS make a cable for high level inputs. They are banana plug on one end and that is what plugs into the sub. Not sure which models do and don’t support it but some do for sure so just check. they have a 45 day trial too. Nothing to lose. | |
| Subwoofer Choice Highend64 yes agreed, adding a crossover could possibly be heard. I can only speak of the JL and my system (Mcintosh Revel) I can’t hear a change at all. If you have a very highend system maybe it would be different. The down side is good ana... | |
| Subwoofer Choice 2 always two with out question. You will not need that much output for music. My JLs run at about 10-o-clock on the dial with 90db speakers. How do you plan to connect them? that is far more important than what sub you choose. Low passing th... | |
| Finally...Pictures! Knotscott, you should be able to see pictures. They are in his system page not in the thread. Click on his name to see the page. | |
| Finally...Pictures! Looks like a nice place, nice equipment. funny thing about pulling out off the back wall. the speakers bass will cancel a bit from 39” to 7.2’… so it will alway cancel at some frequency once you add wall,floor, ceiling bounce. Anyway from a pure ... | |
| What can beat Wilson XVX for less money? I am glad he likes them, Really I am. Define better… speakers he likes more? Maybe nothing, speakers that measure and sound more accurate…. Lots of stuff I have never heard them so just speculation on my end. But honestly I don’t get the desi... | |
| Rell or JL subwoofer? The rel is 1980s tech. There are far better ways to integrate a sub now. JL sounds fine for music and HT but the electronics are trash. Their service is good and you will need it. I have two and both have been back twice. The only original parts ... | |
| What is your experience with amp power? The more the better. I have never heard a lesser power amp sound as good as a more powerful amp of the same design. Even high efficiency speakers sound better with more power. Don’t rob the dynamics of high efficiency low power. | |
| Ideas for Biamp with mc611 and mc275? It can be done but you need to preamps/volume controls. the first preamp needs two outputs. One would go to the less powerful amp and then one would go to the second preamp/volume control then out to the more powerful amp. This way you could adju... | |
| Low level listening Could also be the volume control. They are not all created equal. | |
| Bookshelf Speakers with Rel 212se Subwoofer Lots of good monitors out there so I am sure you will get lots of advice. Don’t forget to take a look at thin tower speakers too. You might find they blend better with your subs. Sometimes when playing high volumes the mid bass lacks when hand... | |
| going from tube preamp to solid state I have owned both. You will just get used to what ever you use. The key is to give yourself time to adjust to the change. | |
| Macintosch 8950 or parasound a21 Hmm I have heard the Klispch Cornwall IV (La Scalia too) on the 7200 and 8900 and neither impressed me. The combination seemed a little dull. After about an hour demo on the Cornwall IV I need a full day break from music, my ears were that tired. ... |
