| Class D amps seem poised to take over. Then what? That just means you haven’t found the right setup then or it’s perhaps just not for you. | |
| Class D amps seem poised to take over. Then what? When I first heard my first Class D amp on my system it was a revelatory moment. Perhaps the biggest single change in sound ever. The sound changed completely leaving me totally disoriented at first. Totally different. Maybe that’s why some can’t ... | |
| Class D amps seem poised to take over. Then what? Everyone is talking about Class D. | |
| Townshend Maximum Supertweeters High frequencies add air. That’s it. Not body or weight. | |
| Class D amps seem poised to take over. Then what? Yup me too. I’m on the D train. Technology always moves forward. FBOFW. | |
| What process did you use to integrate multiple subwoofers for 2 channel listening? Right! So how does it sound?It can’t be complete until you do the final tuning to your ears with music. You have to jump ship on the measurements at some point. That just gets you into the game. | |
| speakers for classic receiver Classic speakers still around that work great off old receivers: Ohm Walsh. | |
| What process did you use to integrate multiple subwoofers for 2 channel listening? So in my case, FWIW, I’ve been able to get the sound I want with a sub and good but not full range small monitors (KEF ls50 meta) simply by getting the mains setup optimally first, then using decibel app on iphone and streaming white noise to get ... | |
| What process did you use to integrate multiple subwoofers for 2 channel listening? a good quality parametric equalizer or DSP would really be the simplest and most cost effective way to fix things in a problem room rather than a complex sub setup in a system that does not seem bass starved to start with.I know, I know, more stuf... | |
| single driver speakers Good quality single driver speakers tend to excel in coherency, which to me is a key ingredient for the highest quality sound. That to me alone explains the attraction, regardless of the downside. All designs have advantages and disadvantages. How... | |
| What process did you use to integrate multiple subwoofers for 2 channel listening? All good. It’s also possible the speakers are not flat down to their lowest rating. Not uncommon. You would have to measure with a test signal alone to know as a baseline then add the subs. Room size, acoustics and amp are factors for that. Bigger... | |
| What process did you use to integrate multiple subwoofers for 2 channel listening? @hilde45 did I read correctly that your subs go down to 35hz and your mains also not much different in terms of low end extension?If so, unless the 3 sub array is smoothing out the response at your listening position, there may not be much if any ... | |
| What process did you use to integrate multiple subwoofers for 2 channel listening? Fun stuff. | |
| Anyone else enjoy putting together Frankenstein low to mid-fi -systems? I started out in high school hot wiring portable radios and tape players to larger external speakers. Does that count?I also built a few radio kits back in those days to get started. As an innocent 7 year old I stuck a sewing needle into a cartrid... | |
| How many of you are digital only systems? I will probably never dump vinyl mainly because I have too many records in my library already that I still go to. Been that way since digital came out back in the 80s. I bought a better turntable then (Linn Axis, still running) to preserve my inve... |
