| Tube sound is not about warmth. It's about correct presentation. How much distortion is required for 'correct presentation'? | |
| Velodyne DD15 - worth repairing the plate amp? I need to read up on how Velodyne's software/hardware works. Does it have an equalizer? How does it measure the movement of the speaker cone or how does the feedback control work? Or what crossover frequency the Velodyne uses (fixed? or adjustable... | |
| Velodyne DD15 - worth repairing the plate amp? Goood to know. Looking forward (hopefully soon) to get plate amp back from EBC and do a comparison switch: Audessy with external class H amp vs built in Velodyne optimization and amp. What settings on the receiver do I need to choose when runnin... | |
| Rumors of CD Demise Exagerated? New Hegel I still buy phycial media (and very rarely a download), rip to my laptop. Real LISTENING (sit down and listen) always from CD/SACD, but use the laptop to 'stream' when just listening with one ear/background/casual. I have started to re buy vinyl f... | |
| Velodyne DD15 - worth repairing the plate amp? How good is my Audyssey built into my receiver setting up the sub in my room? When using the built in plate amp, should I set up with Velodyne hardware/software (and how to disable Audissey/Receiver for the sub only) or switch off Velodyne and ru... | |
| Velodyne DD15 - worth repairing the plate amp? rwwear: what does it do? similar to what audyssey does (measure room sound, make correction in time and equalizing frequencies, automatically)? | |
| Velodyne DD15 - worth repairing the plate amp? Not as earth shaking as my Dayton UM18-22 in 4 cuft sealed (driven by external plate amp from Elemental Design A7-450). But that is an 18" and a larger cabinet. Very 'tight' bass. Still need to do more listening, exploring (and get cable situation... | |
| Velodyne DD15 - worth repairing the plate amp? 4.0 ohm measured. Running the Qsc in bridge now, works well. | |
| Velodyne DD15 - worth repairing the plate amp? Yes, i need to measure the woofer. 12 ohm sound VERY strange though. | |
| Velodyne DD15 - worth repairing the plate amp? So, did a quick temp hookup. QSC CX702 (one channel) fed from sub out (cross over at 50 Hz) to passive Velodyne DD-15. Very tight. Surprised: The QSC (class H) driving 1 channel only has clipping light coming on at higher (not crazy, but loud)... | |
| Velodyne DD15 - worth repairing the plate amp? Yes, EBC (Matt) already received the amp. I made a back plate (with speaker cable pass through) to seal up the enclosure (RTV silicone around the speaker cable, used existing screws). RTV should be hard now, so will test tonight if enclosure 'hol... | |
| Velodyne DD15 - worth repairing the plate amp? Now an unrelated question: my main system (audio, TV) is in an extremely larger volume room (2 1/2 stories high, open on 2 sides to other 2 1/2 story foyer, and one story dining room and kitchen (guessing 1800 sqft plus big volume). I use Dayton U... | |
| Velodyne DD15 - worth repairing the plate amp? WayTooMuchStuff: Will run it as passive with external amp until EBC sends the amp back. Put the back plate on, need to seal up (silicone) the speaker cable pass through hole. Then get the Class D amp and plug it in, see what happens. | |
| Velodyne DD15 - worth repairing the plate amp? rwwear: this is what I actually have 'sitting on the shelf', reserved for my 'resurrection project Infinity Quantum 2'. Goal is to tri amp (feed the 2 coils of the Watkins woofer with class D, low/mid class A/B, high/EMIT with tube or class A) ... | |
| Velodyne DD15 - worth repairing the plate amp? I think you misunderstood: The Behringer (1000W or so into 8 ohm, 2000 into 4 ohm) external amp is driving the 15" Velodyne, signal to Behringer is the sub out from the receiver (and using the receivers low pass). Pretty sure the Behring can provi... |
