| Subwoofer for music, how low? I'm also using the SVS isolation feet on my JBL subs and they really work. My pictures have stopped rattling and dropping to the floor. | |
| How much of High End Audio is Horn Speakers? I have a pair of JBL 4349’s that use a wave guide for the high frequency driver. Essentially a horn. I don’t think I’d ever go back to a non-horn speaker. What a treat to listen to. They project and fill my listening room extremely well. | |
| Subwoofer for music, how low? Food for thought: Kick drum fundamental can be around 50 to 90 hertz. Bass guitar fundamentals are 40 to 400 hertz. Lowest note on the piano is 27.5 hertz. A Roland 808 drum machine kick drum (used extensively in rap music) has fundamentals ar... | |
| Speakers for a Large Room (20’x37’) +3 on the JBL Everest DD67000. Add in a pair of JBL SUB18's. Or, JBL M2's with SUB18's. The waveguides are wonderful in larger rooms. | |
| Coiling XLRs.... yes or no? Note on a lot of pro audio stages, all the XLR cables are coiled up to keep the excess lengths tidy. As a sound tech, I've been coiling balanced cables for nearly 40 years and can't hear any difference in coiled vs. uncoiled. Hence the reason fo... | |
| Horn speakers are really bright? Not quite (technically) horns, but the waveguides on my JBL 4349's are delightful. I can listen for hours with no fatigue and they fill my room very well. Took a bit to get the right amp and preamp match though. | |
| Bought a new McIntosh amp I would not feel any remorse for owning a MC152. What a great amplifier. Bought my first McIntosh piece in 1990 and still have it...along with a lot of other Mc stuff bought over the years.Sounds like your path of audio improvements is (firmly) ... | |
| Why the hate for mcintosh amps? I'm a McIntosh owner and have been for 30 years. When I was younger and would visit various hi fi shops, I would honestly be reluctant to tell the salesperson that I had McIntosh gear (if they were not a McIntosh dealer). There was plenty of per... | |
| Best sub for music, mijostyn - Thank you for the warm welcome. I agree, pro sound / commercial amps may be all you need for subs. I have used QSC amps for decades and they are very solid performers. As well, a decent Crown professional amp isn't too expensive and ... | |
| Best sub for music, Long time lurker, first time poster...I have to jump in and state what mijostyn stated above is excellent advise. After 30+ years in the audio world (home hi fi, car audio, Pro Audio), having large (or many) cones move very minimally is the key to... |
