| Thinking of adding a subwoofer for more bass. You may want to check out the Velodyne SMS-1 subwoofer controller - for use with any sub you choose. It allows room analysis below 200hz and Parametric EQ on 6 bands between 20hz and 120hz. I recently bought one for use with my Verity Parsifal Enc... | |
| Good Analog EQ Floyd,I run RCA from the pre to the SMS, then RCA out to my main amps and on to the Parsifal monitors. I also run RCAs from the SMS to my subs. This utilizes the 80hz roll off for the Parsifals.If I decide to spring for a Marchand X-over, then I'l... | |
| Good Analog EQ FWIW, I just inserted a Velodyne SMS-1 ($600 at Audio Advisor.com) into my system. (As a separate matter, I also added a pair of Velodyne SPLR-8 subs). The SMS is a room analyzer/active crossover/parametric eq that analyzes up to 200hz and provide... | |
| ET LFT-VIIIB V.S. A. Gallo 3.1 Some years back I heard both speakers (8A)at a dealer in direct comparison. Both very, very good. Gallos had deeper, considerably tighter bass. EmTechs had that planar imaging and a sense of mirange detail that were impressive. Integration of the ... | |
| Challenging Speaker Situation Vienna Schoenberg on-walls would be a good call. I use them in my home theater room. Add a small sub (Velodyne SPL-R subs are being closed out at Audioadvisor.com) and you should be good to go. Short cue sticks help, too.Marty | |
| Sub-woofer/ Source for MAgnepan MG 1.6s If you do want a sub, the Velodyne SPL-R series subs are being closed out (Audioadvisor.com). The 8" is $600, 10" is $800. These include auto eq with a 6 band PEQ and high powered amps in very small cabinets. I'll be using 2 of the 8" subs with SM... | |
| Verity Parsifal Ovation vs. Encore? 7-8 feet poses no real problems IME and I once had them on the long wall similarly positioned to what you propose in a room very similar in size to yours. I'd agree with Roy, woofers forward. OTOH, I have had them in larger rooms and you do get a ... | |
| X-over question Shadorne,Thanks - I'm not designing a new speaker but I am more interested in either:A) integrating a bandwidth limited main speaker with subs using a "traditional" active line level analog cross (Velodyne DD software is an inexpensive and promisi... | |
| X-over question Jburidan,Thanks so much. Perfect, you could not have pointed me to any info more directly on point. I understand that other articles may offer a different point of view, but the 2 part piece you identified has all the relevant info I was seeking.T... | |
| X-over question Just bumping this up in hopes of an answer. Thanks.Marty | |
| Looking for power amp with warm, smooth sound Lefty,I own the Monitor 270s, a smaller tower featuring smaller drivers than yours - so take this comment with that caveat in mind. In my set-up, a subwoofer filled in the missing bottom octave and a half and nicely balanced the previously crisp s... | |
| Lindsey Buckingham Arkio,IMHO "Cradle" was more typical of Buckingham - some great songs, some that don't work. As always, his playing is compelling. I agree that "Cradle" has some great sounding passages, too. OTOH, "Screws" is - again just IMHO - brilliant from th... | |
| Verity Parsifal Ovation vs. Encore? The P/Es may be just a hair warmer than dead neutal, but I've never gotten "boomy" bass in 10 years and 4 diferent listening rooms.Good Luck,Marty | |
| Suggestions Please Jennifer Warnes "The Hunter".Eels "Beautiful Freak" "Daisies of The Galaxy".Peter Gabriel "Last Temptation" (Soundtrack).I'll post more laterGood LuckMarty | |
| Does the Transport make a significant difference? Doug,It's a bitch blasting through that 35-49 demographic. Marty |
