| Top notch speakers with their own sub This has been a very interesting discussion with a lot of useful information. Thanks to those who participated, and thank you, Spatine, for initiating it, even if it wasn't necessarily the direction you intended. Now I have to figure out a way to ... | |
| Top notch speakers with their own sub Given the investment you are prepared to make, and your reasonable expectations of a significant improvement, why don't you take the time to go to RMAF in the Fall and listen to some of the stuff suggested here as well as many other alternatives a... | |
| Top notch speakers with their own sub Hey Duke (or anyone else who cares to comment) - Is a flat response always necessarily an ideal target? I can understand addressing major dropouts at the sweet spot, certainly. When we go attend a concert the folks on the mixing board aren't getti... | |
| Top notch speakers with their own sub I will admit not knowing much about bass equalization. All I know is that independent subs for home theater has this phase adjustment that does not work well at all. I can definitely hear where the bass comes from, despite the common claimed for n... | |
| Top notch speakers with their own sub Nor can you afford having the base coming from somewhere else but the primary speakers. At least with home theater, incoherance is more tolerable.I would take exception to your position. I can only touch on a few points that may explain; Sub level... | |
| Top notch speakers with their own sub I'd agree with the post which suggests separate subs to get the full-monty effect in specific rooms with various responses to low frequency sound waves. One of the finest effects I've heard in that respect has been the satellite sub system offered... | |
| volume vs presence I just bought an analogue sound meter today. It looks like my from the needle moving around that lowest levels are around 80db and highest levels peaking around 90db. Average listing levels is probably around 85db.Is this too loud? No, not really.... | |
| Subwoofer Set up Question What frequency do you have the sub set for?Since my sub and room are entirely different from yours I don't think it will matter, but mine has ended up at around 40hz (corrected when I checked) so there is definitely some crossover frequency. For a... | |
| volume vs presence All good and valid input here already. There was a recent thread of someone having some synergy issues running class D amps with specific digital front ends and speakers. You may want to look for input on that specific combination you are using an... | |
| Subwoofer Set up Question No sweat, CK. It's a good method of going and bypasses running the signal to the main speakers through the crossover circuit. I think it's the best way to go for that reason, but does require some careful setup. An SPL meter or better yet, a compu... | |
| Subwoofer Set up Question I do not want to run the second line out to my amps as this takes away from running the system via balanced from my preamp and amps. I am thinking of what Marty just described.You lost me there. You said you had two line-outs at your pre. I'm usin... | |
| Subwoofer Set up Question I use Super Eclipse III's with an ACI Force XL sub. The Coincidents are great speakers that already go pretty damn low without a sub. I do what you describe and run a line-out from my pre to the sub, and a second line out to my amp. This arrangeme... | |
| Magnepan anything new on the horizon? Those little Maggies may sound great, like many small cone-based monitors, but the spatial character of planar speakers will be lost. This may not be evident in the environment of a small demo room.The room the demo'd in at The Show was quite larg... | |
| Magnepan anything new on the horizon? Magnepan had one of the most impressive demos at CES/The Show this past year with their new tiny panels, which were supplemented by a woofer cabinet. These are small, lightweight panels about a foot in height. The demo was blind and the audience s... | |
| Great old speakers that are as good as new ones Klipsch. Most of the heritage line offers tremendous bang for the buck. Paired up with the right amp the combination can certainly be as compelling to far more expensive modern offerings. |
