| Subwoofer Frequency Response question Most bass traps I've seen are designed to reduce peaks at 80hz upward though some provide a little boost at 50ish hz (bass busters). You can eq nulls, but it's not easy for a 20 db problem, I'd guess you might get some improvement via PEq, but not... | |
| What is the one CD you can't find? Ghost,For some reason my previous attempt to post didn't work. I'm in SoCal. If you have contact info for a vendor I'd be forever gratefu if you'd post it here or e-mail me.Marty | |
| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? Biz,Good to hear of your success with a similar set-up. My Velodyne SMS provides 6db/octave of low cut for the mains at 80hz - so I'm filtering the 100s in a similar fashion to the way Ohm filters the Sat 100 model for use with Ohm's own subs. Thi... | |
| Verity Parsifal or Magico V3 or Wilson Benesch ACT Once again,Indeed, the Verity may have a thousand problems due to its poor design (or it may not). I have not commented either way. You heard an obvious tonal balance problem with the Parsifal. I know of no-one else who has. I merely suggested tha... | |
| Verity Parsifal or Magico V3 or Wilson Benesch ACT Dhaan, Speakers sound different - in tonal balance - in different environments and at different spls. A speaker that is absolutely perfect at high spl in a small volume room will be imperfect at either lower spls or in a larger room. Sorry, but th... | |
| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? Para,My space is app. 14'X24" with a cathedral ceiling and an open rear wall (no wall, just a railing behind the listener), a much larger volume than Map's. Despite this, the 100s produce very good, remarkably extended bass - stand alone. IMHO, th... | |
| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? Upon reflection, one change to my post:I said "There are 2 things going on here", meaning the subs and Ohms. Actually there are 3 things going on here. Great performance from the subs, great performance from the Ohms, and great integration of the ... | |
| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? Para,I've had my 100s w/Velodyne SPLR 8 subs for a little over a month now. Of the 3 speakers I tried with these subs (actually 4, including a brief "what the heck-give it a shot" attempt with my Verity Parsifal Monitors), the Ohms have settled in... | |
| Verity Parsifal or Magico V3 or Wilson Benesch ACT Al and Dhaan,I agree that Wilson's speakers are usually voiced this way. Did you ever wonder how they sound in a 50,000 cu/ft space? I bet the bass region falls substantially back to a more "normal" balance? I don't want to overstate the room thin... | |
| Verity Parsifal or Magico V3 or Wilson Benesch ACT Tube,If I recall correctly, JA noted measurement issues with the Sarastro, but later in the review endorsed the sound based on subjective listening tests. My own belief is that the complex, dynamic behavior of a speaker reproducing music in-room h... | |
| Verity Parsifal or Magico V3 or Wilson Benesch ACT Dhaan,I understand your point. It would be difficult to design high performance into any product without some sense of best practices. But....Performance of a loudspeaker is, as a practical matter, only meaningful in room. Room contributions often... | |
| Verity Parsifal or Magico V3 or Wilson Benesch ACT Pubul,Many contributors to these threads maintain that the speaker is top heavy (insufficient bass). The VSMs IME are very sensitive to room and partnered electronics. Their impedence curve probably contributes to the latter. In my home, particula... | |
| Best Inexpensive Subwoofer ...within the limitations of my room! | |
| Best Inexpensive Subwoofer Bob,Thanks again. If I do this, I might as well dive in for the cylinders to get as big a perfomance delta as possible. I'm really, really curious as to whether I'll hear a difference at the spls in my room vs the essentially anechoic test conditi... | |
| Verity Parsifal or Magico V3 or Wilson Benesch ACT Dhaan,This is one of those agree to disagree things.I have never seen any set of specs that acurately correlates to my experience of in room performance - including on-axis frequency response and power response measured at the listing position (I ... |
