| What to upgrade to? Hi Bob, I'm surprised the usual advocates of room treatments have not yet rallied to your assistance yet.I offer this based on an untreated room.Included in 'room treatments' is a set of subwoofers. Acoustic absorbers and a distributed bass ar... | |
| More Power or use subwoofer to boost bass for music @ erik_squires Hi, you seem to be on a crusade to put down something which is valid and sorts out what is a real and common bass problem. I think the recommendations, for a DBA including from myself are in response to an understandable and innoc... | |
| More Power or use subwoofer to boost bass for music @atmasphere Hi, I think we are out of phase on your one statement. no, you don't treat a room with traps because it literally doesn't workI have assisted many people installing broadband absorbers and bass traps, some for friends and some to make... | |
| More Power or use subwoofer to boost bass for music @ cowan21737 Hi, It would be great if it were that simple. The big peaks and dips/nulls happen at low frequency and boosting in that range will unduly tax the amplifier and the dip will largely remain due to cancellation. Unfortunately that smoo... | |
| More Power or use subwoofer to boost bass for music I am amazed at the hostility evident on threads like this with people who have apparently never tried something reacting negatively towards it and offering 'advice' which in some cases is clearly wrong.The DBA concept works, and works in such a wa... | |

| Swarming! @noble100 Hi Tim, thanks for the info. I'm doing a lot of research to educate myself regarding this mysterious, to me, streaming. Much of it is rather confusing but I'll get there in the end.The DBA system deserves wider exposure but I think reta... | |
| The bass is the place... @atmasphere : I fully agree with you that multiple subs are the way to go. They smooth out room response that can not be achieved with EQ. What I disagree with is your comment that 'most rooms have standing waves' and 'bass traps work poorly'All r... | |
| Swarming! Earl Geddes has been a longtime proponent of multiple subs. There are a few other enlightened individuals who agree but it seems strange that this system is not more widely adopted. I assisted a good friend with set up of 3 subs in an awkward room... | |
| New Omega E Mat from Perfect Path Technologies Hey Tom, very interesting and I will certainly do that. It is something I was not aware of. Many thanks. Music is now sounding a little more relaxed, not so over-hyped and almost listenable again. My wife and I decided to watch a movie for a c... | |
| New Omega E Mat from Perfect Path Technologies @geoffkait: Yes I have made changes by shufflling cables around but that was done to try and smooth out the sound. I soon realised that no cable swapping could sort out the problem. The bass traps and other room treatments were in place before the... | |
| New Omega E Mat from Perfect Path Technologies I was not sure where to post this problem I have. They were all the original mats. Also, to be clear, I removed the linestage from the path and took the analogue-out from the DAC directly to the power amp.I hope somebody can shed some light on thi... | |
| New Omega E Mat from Perfect Path Technologies Due to house repairs and installation of bass traps etc. I have only recently introduced E Mats and TC into my system. Some Application of TC was done about 3 months ago and the Mats about 3 weeks ago.The stuff certainly, beyond any doubt, makes a... | |
| Demo'ing Class A amps, Appreciation Suggestions from those who recently been there Look for a Sumo The Nine, a Jim Bongiorno design providing 60W class A. Simply one of the nicest amps I've ever heard and will snap one up if given the chance.I see Tom8999 is using a Son of Ampzilla II in his system which is also designed by Bong... | |
| Daniël Hertz M6L preamp. This is Mark Levinson's new company and that preamp is designed by him. I recently emailed him about a noisy ML23.5 but got no response, zip, nada. I am a pensioner and saved up a long time to buy one of these excellent amps. He did not even have ... |
