| Subwoofer with Floorstanding Speakers? I run subs with large speakers. Without the subs my system is just ok but with the subs it is outstanding. Bass really matters and does make a huge difference All speakers need subs. Even wilson audio runs subs with their supersize speakers.... | |
| Speaker/Room Acoustic Problem Interesting. I had a pair of Theil 2.4 is a 11x12’ room once during a basement remodel. Sounded good with silly amounts of bass lol. I also have a home theater but in a very large room and the entire ceiling is treated with 6” of mineral wool and... | |
| JL Audio Eii2 subwoofer I own 2 (picture under my prophile) and I would not recommend them. They sound great as good as the fathom honestly minus the room correction BUT both have broken twice. The crossovers went bad in both subs within the first few months of ownership... | |
| Interesting ASR review of small GR Research speaker kit As a 25 year audiophile I can tell you measurements matter a lot but are just a stage gate for me. I am not interested in poor measuring speakers/equipment but that does not mean I like every good measuring speaker as not all things of value are m... | |
| Interesting ASR review of small GR Research speaker kit Those kipple measurements are right for sure and I imagine the comments are correct. The design of those speakers is just dumb. GR Research top kits seem like good sound for the money though. I have seen a few comments about the cheap drivers ... | |
| Interesting ASR review of small GR Research speaker kit A tiny driver will never be good. No replacement for displacement. They might be ok in the extreme near field (1-2’ desk speakers). GR resource made a “rebuttal” video already. For me? Measurements matter but not everything important is meas... | |
| what headphones work for sports and activities? I use Etymotic ER4XR at the gym. You need to wear the wire over your ear and the wire in front of your neck to kill the micro phonics. The tonal balance very closely matched my home system and they have the best noise isolation on the market. I ow... | |
| Clayton Shaw (Spatial Audio) visits Danny Richie (GR Research), with his X4 loudspeaker. Looks nice, probably better as a 3 way then a 2.5 way. I question running a 12” driver up to 1khz but I am just a keyboard warrior lol. | |
| What do you use to keep high gloss speakers clean? Same, car wax. | |
| Focal Sopra, Kanta, Aria J-wall, Agreed on the Sopra price increaseS. I was pretty much set to buy a pair of Sopra 2s right before they went from $14,000 to $19,000+, just crazy. I ended up buy Revel instead. They are just as good an way cheaper. I mean revels price w... | |
| Focal Sopra, Kanta, Aria The measurements show the 802D4 is bright. I listened to them today on McIntosh 2700 tube pre and 611 amps. I would say they sounded bright. Sounded like the measurements below. Very high resolution and enjoyable but flawed. Great bass, great high... | |
| Your sub experience: Easy or hard? With a high pass crossover it was very easy in multiple rooms and systems. Without it , it was very hard and honestly never right. | |
| How Much Do Your Subwoofer(s) Cost Relative to Speakers You could look at the speaker and subs single price. Say subs and speakers are $15,000 how does that hold up against $15,000 speakers? I would guess pretty well and probably better. Most speakers with good deep bass these days are pricy. | |
| How Much Do Your Subwoofer(s) Cost Relative to Speakers My speakers are $11,000 (I paid $6300) my subs are $5000 ($2500 each). Not sure you can look at it as a ratio as the entry into subs is expensive. For example I would be happy running JBL 590s ($900 a pair now) with my current JL subs but I co... | |
| Sabrina X Anyone Add Subwoofer(s) Sadly I don’t know of many subs that have good built in crossovers. wilson audio makes an external one but it is $5k. Their new subs are built in. The JL E-lines is fine as in no loss of detail but super noisy and raises the noise floor. JL-audio ... |
