| You Cant Buy It but you Can Build It @mijostyn You are kind of debating yourself here. I have slight academic interest in subs that go that low and figure 27hz is enough for me. And I don't care how big the box is because I treasure precise low distortion sound over large excursion ... | |
| You Cant Buy It but you Can Build It You can indeed get great sound but perhaps not from them all. The key as far as I am concerned is did you download the Hi-Def driver to use with y6our card? Made a really big difference for me. @jssmith suggested this site and my experience wi... | |
| You Cant Buy It but you Can Build It While it does use large excursion woofers from Tang Band, Danley makes a sub that goes down to 17hz with 8" woofers. THSpud | Danley Sound Labs, Inc. There are plans to build these out there and the one I have which was given to me unfinished rem... | |
| You Cant Buy It but you Can Build It @jssmith RE the Realtek I had forgotten about Tom's. I used to go there for graphics card reviews but never thought about audio. I have heard a number of systems and the definition I heard with the Realtak was what kept me there. I find it int... | |
| You Cant Buy It but you Can Build It @mijostyn On the two way with 12"double woofers I go down to around 35hz before serious drop off. The all horn setup however throws that rule out the window and now going down to 27hz is no issue and that gets me virtually all the common instrume... | |
| You Cant Buy It but you Can Build It @simonmoon That is my experience too although I designed and built the box for my double 12" woofer + horn speaker. 25MM Baltic Birch box + drivers and for a bit over 1G I have something that beats the doo doo out of 24G speakers I hear at the N... | |
| You Cant Buy It but you Can Build It @mijostyn it does go low. The difference is the proper tuned cabinet and good cloth surround efficient speakers make for yummy bass without all that excursion that tends to add distortion also. Bass seems to be enjoyed by most in two flavors. One ... | |
| You Cant Buy It but you Can Build It Eminence Kappa 12A. The really nice thing is it is one of the cheaper woofers also but at 12" I doubt you can use it. | |
| You Cant Buy It but you Can Build It "The Fr has 95db sensitivity. Anything higher than 95db is not going to work in my system,." I find that when I have to put a lot of watts into a speaker to get decent volume I have also lost some fidelity. On a two way double 12" woofer + a hor... | |
| You Cant Buy It but you Can Build It I have a pair of EV DH1A my friend gave me to try though I have yet to do so. Everyone who has had those have nothing but praise for them. The guy who gave me those has been after me to put a set of the LMAHL V2 tweeters I make in there and do a t... | |
| You Cant Buy It but you Can Build It Of course not all laptops or PC's are created equal and as mentioned the laptop did not sound as good. Laptops do have their place though when dialing in a system with REW and a UMike. You can sit right in your preferred spot and dial things in on... | |
| You Cant Buy It but you Can Build It "I have never believed computers can or should ever be considered in the same league as dedicated audio equipment. At best, it is a hybrid compromise that never truly makes the grade." Until I stumbled across the Realtek Hi Def driver download ... | |
| You Cant Buy It but you Can Build It "Don't you lose some resolution if you do it like that" No I don't think so. I have had people pull the gear rack out looking for the hidden box that makes things sound so good and there is no hidden box. Gain can be further adjusted if needed i... | |
| You Cant Buy It but you Can Build It "So much for being a minimalist." What I was thinking when I said this was how few pieces of gear I have compared to many here. It is not minimalist though in terms of implementation. Once you learn DSP though you can store up to 30 profiles yo... | |
| You Cant Buy It but you Can Build It I bought my Dell off the refurb site with a good Quadro card in it I was intending to use for my sound and graphics. This workstation is also the PC I use for my machining and design programs. I never could get the Quadro to work for sound and was... |
