| Upgrading sub to get a live feel. phusis,Tapped horns are awesome, make mine a DTS-10. I am not a big fan of 6th order enclosures, they lean towards a narrow frequency range and have to built perfectly to specification or it all falls apart. For high output with limited space, 6th... | |
| Upgrading sub to get a live feel. Clio09, Enjoy the 911. The 84-89 911s were special. Personally, the 964s always have held my heart. Noble100,It is obvious in your mind there is only one solution to a problem, yours. Thank goodness people like James B. Lansing, Paul Klipsch,... | |
| Upgrading sub to get a live feel. clio09,For car stuff, I find simple is great. Check out CDT, Hertz, and Diamond Audio for components. For subs, Image Dynamics work well. For a car the size of a 911, an 8" will just cut it, a 10" if you can fit it. You can use speakerboxlite for ... | |
| Upgrading sub to get a live feel. Tim,Thanks for your assumptions, but they are completely wrong. It is rather ironic that you attack my position and claim that high quality music reproduction is not my goal, while you time and time again say that the quality of subs matters litt... | |
| Speaker Recommendations - from Vandersteen 5As I agree with @nrenter and @stringreen . The 5A's should be a step forward and if not, something is not working right. As you do, I purchase used, and have had equipment that wan't quite right (and not that I think I was defrauded, but the seller... | |
| What is wrong with a sub? davidgwillett,You also need to keep in mind that part of the benefit comes from relieving the mains of the low frequency duties. This requires a crossover, preferably active, to limit the impact on the sound. Also, don’t go too small on the main s... | |
| What is wrong with a sub? Big-Greg hits the nail on the head. People say all the time “my speakers go down to xx hz, I don’t need a sub.” The truth is very few speakers, even larger floor standing speakers, are FLAT to 40 hz. Most have a bit of a midbass hump, which gives ... | |
| Maggie Fans Chime in: Need recommendation for amp to drive Maggies (MMGs and 1.7i) Flatbackground - Another site had someone who ran measurements on the CDA-250 from Class D and they were pretty ugly. Not sure if the more expensive ones are better, but it appears to be a design issue with lack of power supply filtering. That ... | |
| Affordable Decent Preamp & thoughts on Emotiva XSP-1 vs PS Audio Stellar Gain Stage Second the Freya, but the S since he wants solid state. True balanced, neutral, and below the budget limit. | |
| magnepanLRS or 1.7i ? Your amp has enough power (300 watts/ch @ 4 ohms). People will argue about if the amp is high quality enough, something only you can decide. Larger Maggies allow higher sound pressure levels and have more bass. Smaller maggies with a sub or two... | |
| Upgrading sub to get a live feel. Tim,I forgot to mention, you can’t respond. That way I get the last word and the OP doesn’t abandon the thread (assuming he hasn’t run for the hills already). Cary:) | |
| Upgrading sub to get a live feel. Tim,He currently is peaking at about 100 db at low frequencies. A general rule for each identical sub added that is not colocated is 3db, so 6db total. Adding the PBs 1000 may give more than a 6db gain, but as pointed out by others, with differe... | |
| Maggie Fans Chime in: Need recommendation for amp to drive Maggies (MMGs and 1.7i) 4B (there is a 4BST on hifi shark for $995) is probably your best choice as it fits your description of what you like. Parasound edges toward warmth. A McCormack DNA 1 would also be good for your wants. If you look at the odyssey, you should be... | |
| Upgrading sub to get a live feel. Tim,We do have a pretty good idea on the OP's preference for bass levels, he has a pair of SB1000s and is not satisfied. To get a significant feeling of increased volume, he needs to pick up 10db. Adding two more SB1000s will only net him about... | |
| Maggie Fans Chime in: Need recommendation for amp to drive Maggies (MMGs and 1.7i) The 4B is a great amp, but they are getting old and the capacitors will fail at some point. For me, I would buy a used PS Audio S300. There is one on US Audio Mart for $950 with 1 year left on the warranty. 300w/ch in to 4 ohms, which is right ... |
