| Comparison of various subwoofers for 2 channel audio As amp power has gone up and group delay down I think servo based subs have less of an advantage or no advantage really. | |
| REL vs JL AUDIO Well I posted in this thread in 2021 that I had four JL E112 failures. Now in 2024 I am up to five E112 failures. I sold my working sub cheap and gave the broken one to a friend. JL Audio will never get another penny from me. Their customer servic... | |
| JTR RS1s (18” sealed subs) vs JL Audio E112s, (JBL 4367) Phusis, Thanks for the detailed thoughts. yes I have tried rolling in subs under my mains at 37hz with my JL but not the JTR (internally their low pass stops at 60hz) and ran it that way for a month or so. It sounded fine but lack the impact ... | |
| 10dB resonant peak at 40Hz Dsp is your best option. 40hz is roughly 27’ long so you could put your speakers in the 40hz null which would be 1/4th of 27’ feet… works out to about 7’. But this is only one boundary and all boundary sum… bass traps would need to be super th... | |
| Active Speakers Don't Sound Better So how did you go about correcting for non linearity in the drivers? Do you use PEQs in the amps or external software etc. | |
| Comparison of various subwoofers for 2 channel audio How is the bass in the main listening position? Most rooms only need two subs for even bass optimized for a single seat. More is always better but may not be need. Far more important is how are you going to control 4 subs? Are you going to cro... | |
| Crossovers and power handling, and why 1st order filters can be bad Very nice and I agree. I have owned both 1st order (Thiel) and 4th order (Revel) speakers at the same time. The Revel played far louder and I found the time alinement of the Thiel eligible in real world application. Played at lower typical vol... | |
| JTR RS1s (18” sealed subs) vs JL Audio E112s, (JBL 4367) Mijostyn, I have followed your system over the years and it has always looked impressive, I am sure it sounds amazing. SHD studio is an interesting idea. It would also allow for Dirac on the source side. I ordered a few more cards for ... | |
| JTR RS1s (18” sealed subs) vs JL Audio E112s, (JBL 4367) m-db The only built in frequency adjustment on the sub is a manual low effect control adjusted by a knob. It adjust the slope from 40hz-10hz by about 8dB and has a surprising large effect on the sound. Audioholics discusses it in their review lin... | |
| Cornwall IV vs. Volti Rival, Razz; Razz v. 1, 2, 3 -- what changed? Silverfox, Home theater bypass is very easy. You can send the left and right pre-outs from your receiver/processor to any analogue input on your two channel pre-amp. Just set the volume knob at a consistent place when using it for movies. If y... | |
| JTR RS1s (18” sealed subs) vs JL Audio E112s, (JBL 4367) On a side note I will try some higher crossover points soon. I need to order cards (only $12) for the K235 as it does not have a variable adjustment. I “knew” roughly where I wanted to start playing in my system from past experience. I sometimes ... | |
| JTR RS1s (18” sealed subs) vs JL Audio E112s, (JBL 4367) Phusis, Seem like good insight on your comments above. I also set up the subs a few different ways before settling on the K235 crossover. #1 I used my surround processor (Marantz) to crossover, time align the subs with my mains. I tried a numbe... | |
| Mofi Sourcepoint 888? Midrange glare is the worst trait in a speaker. It will be interesting to hear opinions with other front ends. | |
| JTR RS1s (18” sealed subs) vs JL Audio E112s, (JBL 4367) Yeah I guess they are expensive but they seemed like a good buy in their market. The E112 in gloss is $2700 now and a fair enough price comparison. The trade off is the JTRs are ugly beasts lol other subs I looked at: JBL SUB18, $3800 without ... | |
| Mofi Sourcepoint 888? They look like a total steal at the current price. I would imagine a line is forming. I think the crossover to the woofer is 120hz so it would almost be like adding a small sub to the source point 8. Might be a waste of money however if someone i... |
