| Experience with stacked subwoofers? @hifidream Do you know of a published manufacturer frequency response ( ex. -xdB@xxHz ) measurement for Kinergetics SW-800's? I get led to an SW-800 User Manual residing at Hifiengine but I'm unable to log in. | |
| So What Let's My "Mermans" Sing? Jeff Beck…why am I not surprised. Nice. | |
| Why not the piano as a reference for bass After seeing Dick Contino I took up the Accordion. By the fifth grade the Clarinet was the only instrument open. I simply didn't practice enough and got the boot. Devastating at that age. Meh... When I got to High school Paul Jackson soon to be H... | |
| Why not the piano as a reference for bass @guscreek Interesting question. Hence, in my opinion the double bass is a more reliable reference of the bass than piano considering the how often one can hear these lower notes. One can clearly hear the purring of the double bass in jazz ensem... | |
| Experience with stacked subwoofers? @lonemountain I spend the afternoon setting up the first four REL S/510 of my six-pack line array....and damn does that sound good...and I still have some fine tweaking to work on.:) And I am an "old people." After the ten minutes spent lo... | |
| Experience with stacked subwoofers? @bobelton What is your low frequency goal? 1. The addition of the subtle extra low frequency from instruments and effects found on so many modern recordings? 2. Reinforcement of your current speakers woofers? Speaker positions are often in an ... | |
| Should I upgrade from REL/510 subwoofer to REL/812 subwoofer? @drlou77 I wouldn’t. What are your expectations with this switch? With an actual $600 price difference you’re paying $900 for 300 more switching amp watts and a 2" larger woofer (the radiators are both 12") and a manufacture rated 1 lower -... | |
| the gateway product that turned you into an audiophile In 1965 a friend positioned our Altec A7's VOtT PA speakers in my warehouse space and connected them to his Fisher receiver. I heard KJAZ in stereo FM for the first time. By 1967 Tom Donahue began broadcasting on KMPX FM between 6pm and 7am. | |
| Repair or replace my subwoofer Hayward was also close enough for me. Took mine in at 10am and got a call from them by 3;30. Maybe a slow day? I still use mine in the home theater and occasionally in a small PA system. The new plate is a bit more detailed with a better volume ... | |
| Subwoofer Phase Control -3dB subwoofers are an extension of the room they’re in. A subwoofers adjustments aid in their integration with the main speakers. The easiest way to locate and mark your rooms unique multiple optimum placement locations and the first step after ... | |
| Recommendations for a new subwoofer? @badbruno While the OP's selection seems worthy, if your Plus were beyond repair what would you do? Given my two 12-Plus are fourteen years old I wouldn't hesitate to get a GmbH version. Pushing $10K for an 18+ or, I'd do an overnight to LA and... | |
| How much power needed to drive 91db speakers? No experience with Coda. An under the radar company that produces high current amplifiers you might find interesting. https://coda.cc/amplifiers This is not a suggestion, just my experience. According to Audio Science Review (I have no knowledge... | |
| Bass management--high/low pass filtering @avanti1960 another +1 for the same rational as @gdaddy1 +1. I was unable to enter the ELAC RS500 Manual. I found their Auto Room Correction claims uh, interesting. Forget me. I think you'll finally get to hear and feel the deep end of audi... | |
| Recommendations for a new subwoofer? @mylogic Thank you for your kind acknowledgment. During my time with a new top of their line end table sized $9K beautifully hand veneered British made Studio III, the benefit from repositioning it to a crawl tested standing wave location was... | |
| Recommendations for a new subwoofer? @cooper52: 1. "what would be a suitable replacement for that sub?" 2. "despite my previous experience with REL, is that it doesn’t rely on an app to get it dialed in to my system," 3. "Whatever sub I wind up with will have to have speaker-level o... |
