| Distributed Bass Array configuration Interesting. I have no doubt more subs set up well is better. I have 1 Klipsch sw308 I set up manually with kef ls50 metas using a sound meter app and white noise to initially set things up to extend the bass to be roughly in line with all the... | |
| Distributed Bass Array configuration Thanks for that explanation. Minidsp is the way I would go for that as well. | |
| Distributed Bass Array configuration What measurements establish the “improved bass”? Improved in what way?Just wondering. Is it just more? More extended? Flatter response ? Different frequency curve? What exactly is different than prior? | |

| VAC preamps - too expensive? Audio Research is a common option. I use an Audio Research tube pre-amp with phono. Only 6 tubes I run these days. Cost under $2k new during a sale a few years back to make way for newer model.I’ve had a handful of VAC auditions. Won’t say the two... | |
| Distributed Bass Array configuration @atmasphere +1. Never met Duke but that rings true from what I have seen over the years here. I have learned a lot from him here over the years. You too! | |
| VAC preamps - too expensive? Do I win a prize for hitting that? I’m looking for a world class integrated amp. A VAC would do just fine. It’s not easy to be around for many years and post regularly without getting banned or just plain burned out at some point prior. I did take... |
