| What planer speaker to start with? Budget 2k MMGs ($600) and a Velodyne SMS-1 ($600) to integrate your sub. If the sub is decent, you will have one awfully good, truly full range speaker system on your hands. I just set this system up (with two Velodyne SPLR 8" subs) and -in most (though not... | |
| 2 JL Audio F112s or 2 Velodyne DD... wihthMBL 121? The SMS stays in the chain as a low pass and PEQ for the subs. It also has a fixed 80Hz 6db/octave high pass built in. In your case, I seem to recall that the 121 already incorporates a high pass (or in this case "low cut") filter integrated into ... | |
| 2 JL Audio F112s or 2 Velodyne DD... wihthMBL 121? I use the Velodyne SMS-1 (which is the mic, analyzer, crossover, and PEQ from the DD series, packaged separately for use with any subwoofer of your choice) with 2 8" Velodyne SPLR woofers. My first reaction is:Whichever woofer you choose, use the ... | |
| 2-way speaker with best bass Actually, I think some (or all) of the M-L hybrids meet my last description.Marty | |
| 2-way speaker with best bass The Merlin VSM mentioned by Pubul uses active eq to set what is IME the standard for extention/definition from a reasonably neutral, smallish 2 way box. There certainly could be a non eq'd 2 driver, 2 way out there that can match the VSMs, but I d... | |
| Omni directional speakers Wolcott used to market one called "Omnisphere". I believe a used pair is listed on A-gon with a reasonably detailed description in the listing. | |
| What's wrong with Velodyne? They make a great product, but...1) "High End" dealers may take issue with the broad sales channel as noted above.2) The high-tech approach Velodyne uses may conflict with the "simpler is better" purist approach common in some parts of the audioph... | |
| My brother dips a toe back into rock music Thanks all, great feedback.I should note that my brother is 56 (my oldest brother is 58). My bad!FWIW, he called me from a record store so I was time constrained and limited to stock on hand. My recommendations:Townes Van Zandt:First 2 cd compilat... | |
| Accurate non-boomy sub for satellite system Duke,I recently added two small subs (Velodyne SPLR 8") and extensive experimentation with room placement allowed me to reduce 15db peaks to 11db - 12db peaks (AFTER utilizing the onboard auto eq function on the SPLR subs). An outboard PEQ (Velody... | |
| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? My 100s are scheduled to arrive today. I'll give it a few days and post first impressions here early next week.Marty | |
| Thinking of adding a subwoofer for more bass. Bob,Glad you approve of the advice, but it's usually an excersize in frustration! Utilizing PEQ below 200hz is the only effective method I've found to consistently and EFFECTIVELY "tweak away" the bass response issues that Marantz describes. There... | |
| Speakers & the room Funny you should ask!I use Verity Parsifal Encores (among others) and the sound in my current room (similar to yours) is nowhere near what it was in my previous listening rooms. The P/Es employ monitors jumpered to woofer cabinets like your EOS.I ... | |
| Thinking of adding a subwoofer for more bass. To clarify my post: Hulskof's post is correct in theory, but not necessarily in practice. If your system is actually producing flat response to 37hz, you won't hear much difference with a sub. You will feel the extended bass, as he indicates.In pr... | |
| magnepan 1.6 subwoofer recomendations I just ordered MMGs and a pair of Velodyne SPLR 8" woofers along with the Velodyne SMS-1 controller. The MMGs should arrive here later this week, but in the meantime I've used the subs and controller with my Verity Parsifal monitors. The results a... |
