| Wilson Audio Sabrina . . . I'm smitten. Should I consider others? I have 3.5s which I just had rebuilt, so older. They work great with a Rythmik sub, but they really are a speaker people tend to love or hate. Generally people who like Maggies like Vandersteens also. I also found the new Revel F36 to sound rea... | |
| Wilson Audio Sabrina . . . I'm smitten. Should I consider others? My two cents:1) Speakers are very personal, there are speakers on your list I do not like, and some I love, but all of them are well regarded, so it really has to do with what you like best. 2) It is really, really, really hard to compare speak... | |
| Thiel CS2.4 to what? "Sunfire would be a close second to REL. Happy Listening!"I love Bob Carver and use a Sunfire amp, but their subs are far from great. If you have no room for anything larger, they can serve a purpose, otherwise they are best avoided. High disto... | |
| Thiel CS2.4 to what? I think JL Audio, while good, is expensive for what you get. If possible, two small subs are better than one large for your use, as it will help to minimize room modes. There is a great deal of information available about the benefit of multiple... | |
| Thiel CS2.4 to what? I have to agree with soix on just about everything. Here is where I differ:1) I believe the DSP-8033 would be more appropriate and less expensive. 2) I would skip the SVS subs. A pair of Rythmik F12-300 subs can be had for the same price an a... | |
| Small or large sub for music Tim,We are going to have to disagree. The issue I have with my office is not a subwoofer issue, it is centered at 140hz, at which point a sub would be down over 20db assuming a normal 24db/octave low pass at 80hz. It doesn't matter whether I am ... | |
| Thiel CS2.4 to what? "Interesting you said Vandersteen... always loved the sound from the 5's at Audio Connection (when we lived in NJ). Was thinking Quatro. I don't think the room can handle the 5's."Your room can handle the 5s just fine. As long as your listening p... | |
| Thiel CS2.4 to what? There are literally dozens of good choices. If it were me, Vandersteen 3a sigs new, or Treo used, or Revel Performa, or used gets you into their higher line. | |
| Small or large sub for music " 2. One Sub- With a single sub, unfortunately, the bass will be compromised because the bass will only be optimized at a single point in your room (your listening seat sweet spot) and the bass will not sound as good at other spots in your room. ... | |
| Small or large sub for music "It’s nice to use subwoofers for theatre systems. The best option is to buy speakers for your audio system that do NOT need subs."Why? The best speaker placement for imaging and bass are generally mutually exclusive!!!!! Are you willing to place 4... | |
| Small or large sub for music The Swarm and Debra subs are 'vented enclosure for correct roll-off to compensate for room gain (ports can be plugged with supplied plugs, if desired)'. I've tried my Debra subs both ways and preferred them unplugged. The Swarm and Debra su... | |
| Small or large sub for music "More important, IMO, is to have a SEALED sub for music."Can anyone provide a supportable reason for this, or is this just an ad nauseum repeating of inaccurate information? Subwoofer sound is primarly dictated by QTC and group delay. It is easi... | |
| Which magnepan Your room is plenty large enough for the 3 series. You need to look at setup and listening position. | |
| Small or large sub for music " Two quibbles:1 - Room modes ARE ringing2 - Once bass traps are in place, DSP helps with ringing and nulls. . Not going to argue this, plenty of professional acoustics literature out there. The bass traps help de-energize the rninging, and make ... | |
| Anyone try a SUB THREE from Vandersteen yet? " I don't think any other sub can integrate as well as the Vandersteen from all I've researched. The DSP sounds cool, but since my main listening is analog, I do not want to digitize the signal. Vandy fits the bill in this regard. The extra dough... |
