| 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... | |
| How many of you are digital only systems? BEl Canto c5i in my second system is all digital. Inputs include analog phono, FM tuner and a variety of others.In my main system, I covert all records to digital on my music server when played and stream them from there moving forward. If I could... | |
| What process did you use to integrate multiple subwoofers for 2 channel listening? SO the one thing that should be gained rather simply with multiple subs no matter what is that each sub now has to work less hard to provide the proper bass level and as Duke alluded to in that original post as provided by Tvad, that alone should ... | |
| What process did you use to integrate multiple subwoofers for 2 channel listening? https://ohmspeaker.com/news/for-optimum-sound-how-many-subs-and-where-do-you-put-em/ One other thing. I know audiokinesis is big on speaker dispersion patterns and how that affects the sound. Seems to me that benefits of a bass array is not the... | |
| What process did you use to integrate multiple subwoofers for 2 channel listening? I thought the Ohm blog article I linked to by John Strohbeen above was interesting. Something of a different take on optimizing sub placement for audio as opposed to home theater with more of a focus on timing of the sound waves from the subs rela... | |
| What process did you use to integrate multiple subwoofers for 2 channel listening? You can of course do it with a test signal like white noise and a meter. That’s how I did it with 1 sub. Learned you can’t just trust your ears in this case to get it right. More subs and more controls means more complexity. That’s when automation... | |
| What process did you use to integrate multiple subwoofers for 2 channel listening? If it were me going through the time and expense of trying to setup multiple subs I would likely use a minidsp device to do it properly. |
