| the sound of massed violins in classical orchestral recordings I think it went away in my system several years back when I upgraded preamps from old Carver to new Audio Research which was a big jump in sound quality overall. | |
| Help me understand "the swarm" in the broader audiophile world Check out a sub like this Klipsch I use with KEF ls50’s: https://www.klipsch.com/products/sw-308-subwoofer Forward firing active driver + two passive radiators one firing left and one firing right. That provides some bass distribution benefits sim... | |
| Help me understand "the swarm" in the broader audiophile world Bass becomes more directional at higher frequencies so if sub is covering higher bass frequencies there is advantage to two subs located near speakers for better stereo imaging same as if teh woofers in the main were covering those. Different re... | |
| Sub Question. One higher quality sub or two lesser quality? (Rythmik vs HSU) @cleeds sp 16 may or may not be exception. As I indicated I am not merging output with a Y connector with the ARC as I mistakenly indicated initially so in fact I have not encountered that scenario.I suppose one would know for sure pretty quickly ... | |
| Sub Question. One higher quality sub or two lesser quality? (Rythmik vs HSU) @cleeds The Audio Research SP16 has two stereo main outputs. One goes to main amps which remains in stereo and the other to the sub. So that is not an issue.I’ve learned a lot from Duke (audiokinesis) here over the years in regards to acoustics an... | |
| Sub Question. One higher quality sub or two lesser quality? (Rythmik vs HSU) Starting with one to get that right first makes a lot of sense. That’s the engineer in me speaking. I have a single powered sub setup using a Klipsch SW 308 with a pair of kef ls50s. Connection is line out from Audio Research sp16 preamp to sub us... | |
| Turntable choices https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/493608538/love-the-worlds-first-intelligent-turntableStumbled on this. Don’t know anything more about it but interesting. | |
| Help me understand "the swarm" in the broader audiophile world Hmm well another advantage of the Ohms is it’s coherent design using the proprietary CLS (coherent line source) Walsh-style driver.https://ohmspeaker.com/technology/ | |
| Help me understand "the swarm" in the broader audiophile world Many systems have a relatively small “sweet spot”. Adding a swarm might distribute the bass across the room better but the rest is largely directional and best heard in that sweet spot. You only need one sub to get the bass filled very well typica... | |
| Whats playing on your system today? I often just don’t get whatever Beck is trying to do. | |
| Sub Question. One higher quality sub or two lesser quality? (Rythmik vs HSU) If you have large full range speakers that go down to the mid 30s, if you add subs, you need larger ones that deliver output below that range in that there is little to gain to start with otherwise and you don’t want to merely add to the frequenci... | |
| Sub Question. One higher quality sub or two lesser quality? (Rythmik vs HSU) Duke, that makes sense. Thanks. | |
| Sub Question. One higher quality sub or two lesser quality? (Rythmik vs HSU) As I read it the two outputs are already in parallel and connecting two subs to each directly would result in 4 in parallel which would could result in loads 2 ohms or less with nominal 8 ohm subs. Two in series to each would seem like a better idea? | |
| Sub Question. One higher quality sub or two lesser quality? (Rythmik vs HSU) I see two speaker outputs on the Dayton. How does that work to drive 4 subs?2 on each wired in series? |
