| Sound Stage and Imaging @mijostyn Yes, I run one large subwoofer crossing at 50 Hz, and run the Nautilus 804 as 'small' to relieve from 50 and below duty (also relieving the receiver from the heavy lifting for that frequency range). So the Nautilus woofers only have to h... | |
| Sound Stage and Imaging @grislybutter reading up on SL6 (SL6s? SL600). Also Thiel CS1 (xxx) mentioned in this context. Opinions? | |
| Sound Stage and Imaging Too much thinking/evaluating options. Had a pair of local Vanderstein 1 slip by (gone now for $250), not sure if that is a loss. Friend has 2B, but not suitable audition room, but sounded 'easy', 'light', 'airy'. | |
| Sound Stage and Imaging @grislybutter "254 Hz is middle C! 350 Hz is well into the mid range. RAISE THE CROSSOVER POINT for the subwoofer" The Nautilus 804 has no subwoofer, just 'woofer'. And small ones to begin with, so 350 Hz does NOT sound like a very high frequency ... | |
| Sound Stage and Imaging Room size concern: I am currently running my Nautilus 804 as SMALL speaker with lowest sub crossover my receiver can offer (50 Hz). Her two 16.5 cm low woofers cut at 350 Hz, and the large mid range runs from 350 to 4k. Method 3-Way,... | |
| Sound Stage and Imaging @grislybutter just checked the specs of the 2TD-X. Rated at 100W. As with every small speaker: do they have enough (even with help from big sub under 50 or (pushing it) 80 Hz) in them to fill a large (volume vise think 40x40x10) room with 100+ db... | |
| When to choice XLR over RCA ICs. Why is it that some (all?) component manufacturers design XLR with a few dB more than the RCA outputs? | |
| Sound Stage and Imaging Kits: not afraid at all. build quite a few back then (very nice finish Eton 10 (in the 80's; GREAT sounding Focal Onyx (still dreaming of it, actually though about recreating it). Recently my sub: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1HPeV4E7xUvmPwq5cB... | |
| Sound Stage and Imaging @mijostyn I was partially kidding with the screws. Just a bit unusual to see them as exposed as they are in any speaker over say $100 pair. Most would make the REAR panel removable (with 'under' mounted bass driver). | |
| Sound Stage and Imaging @grislybutter thanks for the list/table. I am benchmarking against my Nautilus 804. And which CSS are you referring to? the one in the table CSS Criton 1TD-X? | |
| Sound Stage and Imaging Harbeth P3: did they get a bulk deal on screws? Or are they just try hard to make the front as ugly as possible? I do like the idea of small (2 way or even single) speaker since I am "sold" on subwoofer (even my Nautilus 804, surely not considere... | |
| Sound Stage and Imaging Also as far as imiging is concerned: aren't the single speaker Kef 150 also known to produce excellent image (maybe not a wide soundstage, and may not 'sound' as nice as otheres (or may concerns, not enough AREA to 'fill' the big room, but maybe e... | |
| Sound Stage and Imaging ADS "or pair of ADS L2020s, (which will fill your huge room) and / or ADS L1530s or L1230s. ": can't even find a PHOTO online of ADS L2020. The mid size LDS (L880 etc) look nice (I do like dome midrange, have a pair of Infinity Quantum 2 in parts ... | |
| Sound Stage and Imaging With soundstage and imaging in mind, what helps with regard to the room: a) hard vs soft BEHIND the speakers b) hard vs soft OPPOSITE the speakers c) hard vs soft SIDE of speakers d) close or far wall behind e) close or far wall - sides f)... | |
| Sound Stage and Imaging Also of importance to mention: low bass is covered (Velodyne DD15 small room, Dayton 18" sealed driven by ED LT1300 in large room). So NOT concerned in this area. |
