Room correction room system vs ears….
I'm constantly amazed by before and after demonstrations at audio shows. I've since made it a point to always follow those demonstrations with a visit to an LP source analog demo where my shoulders never fail to drop and relax. Eyes rolling? On t... 
sub connection via high level output -> sound quality
Subwoofers with the level of adjustability afforded by SVS benefit from the direct output of the preamplifier. The inclusion of speaker level connections are a convenience feature for your exact need.  In your case your preamplifiers signal will ... 
Compatibility between speakers and sub.
The SVS application may show you the lower frequency of your speakers. Maybe someone at the AVS site can help you with your setting up. In the end when you gain some proficiency your setup will reflect your taste.  
Compatibility between speakers and sub.
Congratulations. The SVS positioning suggestions appear generic. Their Sound Path Remote would make trial room positioning a breeze. This is a link explaining the subwoofer crawl. You don’t actually need to crawl unless you want to check it out f... 
Compatibility between speakers and sub.
Does your integrated amplifier have R/L RCA sockets labeled Out or Output? ATC offers the C1 which can be connected to their active speakers. ATC's Pro 12 Also connects to their speakers. They suggests using Dolby DARDT for best performance.  
Subs And The Downstairs Neighbors
No soup for you... I put my 70lb subs on extra soft rubber caster dollies topped with a two inch layer of open cell foam which greatly reduced the the low frequency transmission through my homes structure. Decoupling the subs and the substantial ... 
Crossover setting on Rythmik F12G
While I've been using subwoofers with some form of equalization and or optimization since 1966 I have no experience with Rythmik. The Rythmik Audio Installation seems explanatory for establishing the crossover.   https://www.rythmikaudio.com/down... 
Are the Paradigm Founders 100F a big upgrade over 85F's
I hope you update us on your wife's comments after a side by side comparison. I know I lose some objectivity over the excitement when it comes to upgrades. Inclusion is incredibly worthwhile and can make all the difference going forward. All the ... 
Upgrading from Martin Logan ESL15a w/Force subs to Wilson Sasha Daw or Alexia 2 w/JL subs
brianslides, if you had the opportunity to directly compare a properly positioned JL F113 with any REL in your system, any pressure you're currently experiencing would be replaced with an eyebrow raising at the reading of woots' waxing. I did it ... 
How far and wide? NSMT speaker placement
zazouswing, well said + one. If you have the room placement liberty I’ve found the Golden Ratio formula from the Cardas website to be very effective in my last three rooms despite those rooms not being exactly rectangular and slightly different. ... 
Help finding a subwoofer
Actually, you'd probably be shopping a two channel pro audio amp with onboard DSP. The outboard clutter of another component and the extra cabling?  You'll be missing out on the current flexibility of a remote controlled subwoofer and EQ presets.... 
Is there such a thing as a FOREVER DAC/streamer?
*One casket says to the other casket, is that you coffin?  Some might consider after all their past efforts there may come a time when you realize, sure that might be another incremental improvement - you sit back listen and think, meh... All th... 
Help finding a subwoofer
alanpiga, I'm sure I'm missing something regarding your sub requirements. I see Cain & Cain offers a reasonably priced sub that seems tailored to their speakers when using a capable amplifier? Your preamplifier appears to have an extra set o... 
What do you do when you inherit some gear that you don’t want.
As retired as the Farmer. After pairs of Studio 100's versions 1 and 2, in home auditioning S8's and a dealer audition with all ARC amplification of 9F's. Get relaxed, sit back, close your eyes and listen to your glistening tweeter then the waft... 
How much faster of a sub is the REL T5X vs SVS SB12-NSD
["curiousjim     I also tried, Velodyne, REL(old models) and an old SVS12” and the last is a brand new SVS 2000Pro. Depending on your room, you can probably get close, but…."] Interesting problem. Do you recall which Velodyne model you tried?
