| All new Yamaha YH-5000 Review ! I will watch the video later but doubtful. I do think everyone should own a good set and A/B it with their speakers. It will helps sort out room issues and keep you grounded while playing with new speaker gear. I have taken headphones to spe... | |
| Worth upgrading from MC611 to MC901? My local dealer was messing around and bi-amped a pair of 805D4 with an MC275 on the top end and one of the two channel integrated amps on the bottom (MAC7200 I think) and it was pretty impressive how much it changed the sound. Don’t ask me about ... | |
| Kef and McIntosh Honestly just have a pretty lukewarm feeling about Kef. They do nothing wrong but nothing great IMO. You should just listen yourself and see, maybe you will love them as many people do. $2k can go a long way if you are open to speakers that are us... | |
| Can you give me your speaker suggestions? If you like horns there is no going back as the dynamics are addictive. Sonus Faber would be super boring unless you are into “audiophile” music… I am not. But they would be balanced. I heard the Olympica III and Cornwall Vi back to back at my dea... | |
| Subwoofers: add a JL Audio or switch to 2 Rythmic subs? Have you tried the highpass in your E112? You just loop it in/out between the pre and amp. It will add some hiss for sure as JL’s electronics are very questionable but it should be night and day better. I would highpass at 60hz. If you like the so... | |
| Kef and McIntosh Personally I find the Kef/Mac combo pretty dull (not rolled off just lacking air). Specifically in the highs. I am a MC462 owner so no hate here. If you like Kef and like Mac they are probably fine together. But I could think of a lot of speakers ... | |
| JBL 4367 = Sleep Denervation Mijostin, I am using two JL E112 highpassed. I have not settled on a crossover point. It seems fine anywhere between 40hz and 80hz. Normally I use about 60hz for most speakers but I am finding the 4367 has more texture and tone between 40-60hz th... | |
| JBL 4367 = Sleep Denervation Markd51, I have not tried the 8 ohm tap yet but maybe I should. On my other speakers if chose a tap above the lower ohm limit it tends to make them brighter. Using the lower tap does reduce power but power is not an issue. I will have to look ... | |
| JBL 4367 = Sleep Denervation McIntosh MC462 (4 ohm tap). I am also high passing from a pair of JL subs right around 45hz. I have the HF trim at -0.5db and the UHF trim at -1.0db. I find these trim settings greatly effect the sound from warm to bright if you want it. I believ... | |
| New KEF R11 META : The Real Giant Killers ! I am also kind of luke-warm on Kef. They don’t do anything wrong they just don’t do anything exceptional either. I need to give them another try sometime. My local Best Buy has both the blades on the floor but the setup is questionable, though the... | |
| How do you high pass your main speakers? Wait I read all the posts lol. You already use a mini dsp? Just set the sub and speakers to the same point with a 24db slope and call it done. | |
| How do you high pass your main speakers? As for the frequency to highpass? Anything you want. Really anything. I adjust mine from 40hz to 100hz and it all sounds fine. Just listen and see what sounds best. Do the speakers or subs have more detail at 60hz? Most my speakers with 8” drivers... | |
| How do you high pass your main speakers? There are a number of ways. #1Built into the receiver or preamp is one (more of a home theater feature sadly) #2 built into the subs (rare) #3 external analogue (my choice, JL audio CR-1, wilson sub controller, Bryston makes one or at least di... | |
| Klipsch Forte McLaren Sale I did not know these existed. The MCL-905 looks interesting, very expensive though. | |
| Bass- at what frequency does it change from sounding like a string to just a low tone? I would set the volume on the sub with test tones and a DB meter for starters then adjust to taste after that. I set my subs ruler flat and let the wife listen. She said there was no bass?!? So I adjusters it for her by taste and she ended up 1... |
