| Speaker choice without need for deep bass @bgross will read up, but looks like very rare (often =price) from europe: https://www.soundstagenetwork.com/revequip/equation_7.htm | |
| Speaker choice without need for deep bass @yoyoyaya Price has really nothing to do with physics. Example: the Nautilus 804 (ok, those where $2.5k) as well as the $0.3k Infinity RS625 (example) had no issue delivering the desired SPL in my large room, with the crossover set at 50 Hz. Or ... | |
| I bought 4 subwoofers and I'm absolutely not doing a DBA! Hah! @erik_squires talking about 'air' and 'enlarged soundstage' with respect to subwoofers: "It's not about how many subs but about the sub to main speaker integration": how would you go about better 'intergration'? | |
| I bought 4 subwoofers and I'm absolutely not doing a DBA! Hah! Another benefit of using a subwoofer amp (often done as 'plate amps'), and the very first reason I used mine (aside from beying ICE design, well working/sounding, powerful): The amp came with adjustable crossover frequency and volume control (unli... | |
| Speaker choice without need for deep bass Wharfedale EVO4.3 or 4.4 3 way (large 2" dome mid, AMT tweeter. 2x 5" low/mid (2x 6.5 for 4.4) https://images.crutchfieldonline.com/ImageHandler/trim/750/457/products/2019/36/336/g336EVO43WN-F.jpg | |
| Speaker choice without need for deep bass Dali Oberon 5 or 7 decent candidates? looks like 2 way, with 2x 5 (5.25) or 2x 7 low/mid? | |
| Is it possible to find a good DAC for under $50, 000? No, it not possible. If you don't spend at least $100k for a DAC, there is always a chance someone else may waste more money than you on a DAC, and therefore believes his is better than yours. Plus, you already spent $10k for a few feet of cable... | |
| I bought 4 subwoofers and I'm absolutely not doing a DBA! Hah! Its the 2nd post I read today that mentions "enlarged soundstage" and "air" in the context of woofer/subwoofer ("2 subs provide enlarge soundstage and more air"). I never brought the low frequencies in context with 'air' and 'soundstage'. Shou... | |
| I bought 4 subwoofers and I'm absolutely not doing a DBA! Hah! @iseland "Plateamp": I moved my "plate amp'' out of the sub box into a separate housing. Its still a plate amp (components mounted on a plate), just a 'plate am in a different housing'. Given the same space for the sub, I wanted that extra volume... | |
| There is no substitute for cubic inch or in this case surface area How does sound stage and woofer size go together? I thought that is more a characteristic of mids and highs. I think of multiple small woofers only in the sense of how HIGH they can go. Given the same volume (moved air), the key to me is that I ... | |
| Speaker choice without need for deep bass @knotscott The NX Bravo crosses over to the tweeter at 950 Hz. That is an AWFUL lot of engergy going to the single tweeter at high listening levels. Speaker size: Height 41.875″ (Without base) Width: 8″ Depth: 11.5″ Sensitivity: 91dB Nominal Im... | |
| Speaker choice without need for deep bass Hi/low pass: in my setup, the receiver 'cuts' the main speakers if at a selected frequency (I use 50 Hz, high pass) and sends the low frequencies (under 50 Hz, low pass) to the sub out (to sub amplifier). With small Epicure 5 currently in the rota... | |
| Speaker choice without need for deep bass @buellrider97 Interesting: " Adagio: same 6.5 -inch mid/woofers constructed from a fabric layer sandwiched between two skins of ceramic doping; same 1.8" circular ribbon tweeter with a shielded 3.5-oz high-flux, highly temperature-resistant magnet... | |
| Speaker choice without need for deep bass @knotscott Yup, that is the idea. Mulitple small low/mid (for 'moving air' for higher spl), NO big woofers (no need for very low range), no big 'box'. https://d2j6dbq0eux0bg.cloudfront.net/images/13908254/3055753434.jpg What is out there, coveri... | |
| Speaker choice without need for deep bass @yoyoyaya: "You are up against the laws of physics. You can make a small speaker play loud, but scale requires the ability to move a lot of air." Yes, that is the point of this post: what speaker (CAN be small because it does NOT HAVE TO MAKE 120 ... |
