| Would you choose 1 ou 2 subwoofers for a stereo set? I use two but I have used a distributed bass array of four placed asymmetrically within the room which eliminated all the rooms standing wave bass modes and provided immediate sense of timing or room loading. I've since manage a similar but not a... | |
| Velodyne DD15 - worth repairing the plate amp? CORRECTION: My Velodyne Plus subwoofers have been in my service for 12 years, not 22. Velodyne CA. Digital Drive Optimization technology may be over 20 years old beginning with the SMS-1. My apologies. ["On the other hand my current Plus 12’s an... | |
| Velodyne DD15 - worth repairing the plate amp? @gotolondon2 What did your dealer say about remedying this issue? I did resell all my Velodyne subwoofers with the introduction of each new model which would explain, as you say, ’just because.’ On the other hand my current Plus 12’s and the 10... | |
| Velodyne DD15 - worth repairing the plate amp? @oddiofyl Every Velodyne sub of that Era will fail. I sent my Dad's plate Amp on his HGS 10 to EBC in NJ about 5 years ago and it's been great since. If this were the case I would expect far more original owner failure conformation. I re... | |
| Velodyne DD15 - worth repairing the plate amp? If you used your Velodyne DD Auto EQ or manually adjusted any of its parameters than no, I don't believe there's a modern equivalent of that level of processing except for the completely redesigned 2011 DD Plus now from Velodyne Acoustics GmbH (Au... | |
| 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... |
