| Comparable products to the Velodyne SMS-1 Well, none of these will allow manual adjustments. They only correct. ;-)Kal | |
| Comparable products to the Velodyne SMS-1 Nope. There are other systems but each is somewhat different. Take a look at:Anti-Mode 8033SVS Subwoofer Equalizer AS-EQ1Audyssey Sub Equalizer | |
| Any top SACD player with PCM output on the market? I am not surprised. Given that one is starting with a good high resolution signal and down-converting it with dCS algorithms, it is entirely possible that it is better than the, perhaps, compromised RedBook version.Of course, 24/88.2 is even bette... | |
| Would center channel benefit audio only room? Dedicated? How will you derive a signal for it? Why do you think it will do anything for soundstage height, as opposed to central imaging?The solution lies not in more equipment but attention to your setup, acoustics and, perhaps, speaker choice.Kal | |
| Bi-amping Revel Gems with a tube integrated amp A passive preamp has only one output even though it may have multiple output jacks.Kal | |
| Would center channel benefit audio only room? I was kidding. Of course, you could go all the way and get a processor with Audyssey DSX to derive height channels and, even, a center.Kal | |
| Any top SACD player with PCM output on the market? Yes, the Scarlatti transport can output PCM from SACD but: 2x AES/EBU on 3-pin male XLR connectors. Each outputs CD format data (16 bits at 44.1kS/s), whether a CD or SACD is playing.2x SPDIF on 1x RCA Phono and 1x BNC connectors. Each outputs CD ... | |
| SMS-1 Questions Full range is, already, contentious since there are different definitions for it. In addition, without measurements, there's no assurance that they will perform as "full range" in any particular setup. With the B&W 802Ds in my city system, I u... | |
| Would center channel benefit audio only room? "My speakers are 3 way custom utilizing a Heil AMT tweeter."Hmm. All bets are off with such an unknown but adding another speaker to these won't elevate the soundstage (unless you put it near the ceiling).Kal | |
| SMS-1 Questions Use a pair of Y cables from the preamp to split off the L/R signals for the SMS-1. (I cannot remember if one can use the SMS-1 to do this but that might be possible.) There is a small delay introduced by the SMS-1 but that is folded in with the re... | |
| Would center channel benefit audio only room? What a lot of pointlessly decisive answers to a vague question about an indeterminate system setup! Amusing.Kal | |
| SMS-1 Questions There are many routes to satisfaction and some appeal to different people differently. Still, in this day and age of sophisticated bass management and roomEQ/subEQ, some traditional configurations might be reconsidered. In fact, one can probably g... | |
| Would center channel benefit audio only room? Or get a tiny room. ;-)Until you give us more info/parameters of your setup and needs, it's not possible to help.Kal | |
| SMS-1 Questions The need for stereo subs is greatly overrated considering the wavelengths involved.Kal | |
