| Old and New-- adding Rel s510 or 812 Sub to heritage (older) McIntosh system-- Worth it? Forty plus what? Ten? Fifteen? Be good to your back. Get the small wooden $12 dolly from Harbor Freight, a 20'-30' RCA cable from Blue Jeans cable and a ground lift plug. Decoupling with the dolly may be a second surprising improvement. In your ... | |
| Vitus RI-100 And REL G2 Sub Wiring Experience? @diasoft Vitus wrote to me: ".....we strongly recommend not to connect subwoofers to the speaker output of any of our amps." Thanks Dirk @bg3584 Their (Blue Jeans Cable) disclaimer made me so nervous to hook up my sub I never did even though I... | |
| Subwoofers and electrostatic speakers @drbond While adjusting frequency within a number of bands is an important parameter to correct does PBK offer any other manually adjustable parameters such as Xover and subsonic slopes, parametric filter frequency, contour levels and Q bandwidt... | |
| Subwoofers and electrostatic speakers Does PBK provide adjustment of anything other than frequency response? Manual adjustments? Multiple memory presets? | |
| Avalon Radian owner manual Try asking about a replacement part like a footer, screen, or a tweeter. An estimate on a factory rebuild? Something that means business to them. | |
| Avalon Radian owner manual My Eidolon’s included a forty-five page hard bound manual personally signed by the five people involved with their manufacture. | |
| Subwoofer Advice & Therapy :) @norust The other tradeoffs I know exist are in regards to the position of the sub and the size of my listening room. I only have one front corner location (with some room between the back and side wall). Welcome to the Gon and more impo... | |
| Subwoofers and electrostatic speakers @drbond Yes, I could try numerous locations for the subwoofers, but at 140 lb each, I really don‘t want to move them much. My room is also very irregular, with an open side wall into the house, which apparently makes it easier to find a decent... | |
| Subwoofers and electrostatic speakers You have a spectacular system. I’ve found there are a number of LP’s that simply sound fine without my subs help. The digital releases of those same recordings sound better with the subs on. Another confirmation that high pass filtering is not pr... | |
| What speaker could safely be ordered without hearing it first? @mtbiker29 This has happened to many of us. When one with no experience admires a high performance something and reads a litany of positive accolades by users, not knowing they too are mostly first time fan boy users with little or no experienc... | |
| The perfect satellite/subwoofer system ... Being a hack with only a pair of dated Mackie powered PA speakers as my only active speaker reference, any taking of wind is out. I do believe a much finer level of subwoofer integration has been easily obtainable for well over a decade. Like mos... | |
| Sweet spot in Avalon product line Despite the striking resemblance between Avalon's current Precision Monitor 4 and the Eidolon a great many changes may have been developed. The Eidolon never impressed me at shows or stores, and there was their price. I waited until I could affor... | |
| Bookshelf Speakers Sitting On Dual Subs? +1 fuzz erik bayl jjss onhy... The Elac DSP might allow you to roll the subs frequency response off beginning in the low 40Hz, continue until your down by -6dB in the low 30Hz. The Elac should now act like a -6dB sub-bass speaker. By lowering the... | |
| Subs with room correction DSP? @macg19 No subwoofer crawl or gimmicky software with "special" mics required. If you’re using a -6dB sub-bass speaker/s they roll off around 40Hz and simply do not output enough subsonic frequency to excite most rooms standing waves. I’m guess... | |
| Subs with room correction DSP? There’s the Velodyne Acoustics DD Plus. It requires a subwoofer crawl to identify room locations. Connections to either a TV or a laptop to monitor adjustments. It’s supplied with a calibrated mic positioned at the listening position and connected... |
