| Bass- at what frequency does it change from sounding like a string to just a low tone? I agree with gladmo but will try to answer directly. 60hz grabs the kick drum impact and is as high as you need to go with good speakers imo. At 80hz you are clearly into the bsss guitar range and it can get hard to match tone even with a highpass... | |
| Perlisten D212 Subs (2) in the house. Based on the measurements they look like very nice subs. I have window shopped them a few times but the price is hard to swallow. Are you running your wilson full range then? Probably would be better high-passed. wilson make a pretty good sub ... | |
| Your experience of moving to two subs Yes group delay matters a lot with subs. group delay and phase are related. The audioholics information is very good. Many subs are delayed enough they are a full cycle back. The kicker is it can change at different frequencies so you can’t just ... | |
| Your experience of moving to two subs Gladmo, you might be hearing a longer group delay that could make it sound “slow” I have not seen the SB2000 group delay but I was a bit surprised at how high the group delay was on the SB 16 Ultra (link below). It was over 20ms. You could argue... | |
| Your experience of moving to two subs I had one sub broken for awhile (I normally run two) and when I had one I had to really mess around with placement, crossover point etc. got the other sub back so back to two and the System just snapped right back into place. Sounded even and righ... | |

| like Jubilees only much smaller... like standmount or towers Horns are really about constant directivity. As mentioned above large horns are needed for low crossovers into the horn. The Klispch is what 400hz and the JBL 4367 is 700hz. While JBL stand mounts and towers are 1.2-1.5k-ish crossover. That lower ... | |
| Two way vs. Three way Speakers It does not matter if it a 2 or 3 way speaker. It is all about frequency range and even dispersion without the driver breaking up. Driver size plays into dispersion so this is often why speakers are 3 ways too. Both designs can work well. I cu... | |
| JBL 4367 shoutiness remedies? Well old thread but it might help newer owners. I have had this speaker for a week and I don’t really find them shouty but can understand why some feel that way. Two things that change it are toe angle and speaker height. Toe out works but o... | |
| JBL 4367 = Sleep Denervation Jonwolfpell, Yes, I think you are correct. This is my first horn experience in my own system so I can’t say if it is horns in general or if JBL has some magic sauce on these drivers. Either way I am hooked. I realize I am in the honeymoon peri... | |
| JBL 4367 = Sleep Denervation Roxy54, Lol, Shows how little sleep I have gotten! As a long-term member it should be clear typing on my phone is not my best skill. Thanks I have heard other similar types of horns that did not impress me much but these JBLs are better than ... | |
| Bang for the buck The 580 don’t reach too low in the bass and should be fine just a 1’ or 2 off the wall. They are a good balanced speaker and really special for the money. I would want to run subs with them. This cheap JBL subs kind of suck but they are super chea... | |
| Demise of bass quality in Main speakers All things being equal in quality (power to weight and linear throw) bigger is always better for woofers if your room supports low bass. I own a speaker with duel 8” drivers and one with a single 15” woofer. I also own 2 12” subs. The speaker ar... | |
| Revel F228be Well I can help. I own the Revel 228be (which I am selling but think they are amazing, sad but true more on this in a minute). I have owned B&W 703s (kind of like the CM10) and I own a Rotel class D amp and also have a McIntosh Mc462. the sh... |
