| How good is the crossover in your loudspeakers? @bdp24, my condolences. You are a brave chap attacking peoples' cheapo crossovers! What nerve? March onwards with the torch held high. Why the Danny haters? Except for the uber expensive just about every XO can be improved. The parts quality can ... | |
| Digital Room Correction vs Room Treatments Here is a plot of my room: As you can see it looks a little bit better than yours. No 35Hz peak. The aberration between 100Hz and 250Hz is because I am not able to vary phase on the REL. The point being you will be able to get an even better in... | |
| Digital Room Correction vs Room Treatments Yes build the traps as shown across the entire back wall. The colourful panels in the photos are DIY broad-band absorbers. Google has dozens of how to DIY examples. You need a few. And consider heavy drapes across that window. See dimensions for ... | |
| Digital Room Correction vs Room Treatments You have a very attractive room, small but certainly capable of being tamed with a pair of subs and a large bass trap. A small room needs lots of absorption, a large room needs lots of diffusion and a mid sized room needs some of both. As I menti... | |
| Digital Room Correction vs Room Treatments OP, let me apologise for assuming your SVS sub could do what I mentioned. Looks like you’ve got one of those early models. I’m using an SVS SB 1000 PRO which sells for about $600 and has a very useful feature. Download the App and you can adjust ... | |
| Digital Room Correction vs Room Treatments Did you try plugging the port on your sub? Just push some foam or a sock into it. Yes of course playing with the phase (timing) will change the curve, that’s the whole idea. Get a second sub. Does your SVS sub not have the ability to adjust remot... | |
| Digital Room Correction vs Room Treatments @captouch, yes I'm talking about bass traps which because of the long wavelengths involved need to be large. Mine run floor to ceiling and are 3ft. across the width. It's a standard 600mm x 1200mm x 50mm rockwool or glassfibre board cut in half = ... | |
| Digital Room Correction vs Room Treatments Guys, really? Sorry to tell you OP that graph posted has a terrible response, about 20dB difference between the major peak and null. The null at about 58Hz is 12dB below the average. That’s a lot of musical information being lost in the most impor... | |
| Sound quality differences in streamers @mgrif104 thanks for mentioning Positive Feedback's review of Switch X. I had no idea of the inner workings. This unfortunately is beyond my budget but have recently been made aware of the Hyperlink-Network Switch from Fidelizer, available at a ve... | |
| How to choose speakers that won't overpower your room? Being familiar with REW you should be able to accommodate any speaker. What causes people to experience room overload is simply the inevitable room modes. It’s the peaks that are responsible, peaks that can be 15/20 dB higher than the average in r... | |
| Are there any recording artists you just can’t listen too? I can't listen to today's girlies screeching at the top of their lungs trying but not reaching the highest notes without sounding like nails on a blackboard with a sameness to everything. Pop music on the radio is just irritating and will be soon ... | |
| speaker upgrade from Magico A3 Richard Vandersteen's speakers are polar opposites to Magico and worthy of consideration. Also Volti Audio which use waveguides/horns and sound full and lively. Their sensitivity is in the upper 90's dB/oct. You mention owning a pair of REL S/510... | |
| One Sub or Two? The only reason for 2 subs is if you don't have space for 3 or 4, but you do. The poster who claims you absolutely don't need subs with these speakers is unfortunately ill informed and has obviously never heard a good multi sub set up. I suggest h... | |
| Bookshelf speaker pairing with subwoofer Why limit yourself to bookshelf speakers? There are slim floorstanders that have a similar size footprint. The advice to seal the ports is solid, better still is buy sealed speakers. You obviously intend to use subs which is the best way to get gr... | |
| Nearfield Low-Level Listening : New Speakers or EQ? Thoughts? @gemoody, You're probably not going to like what I tell you. Most people find that speakers 'wake up' or 'come alive' when you crank up the volume because fine detail is obscured or missing at low SPL. If I'm not mistaken only @asctim has mentio... |
