| Underpowered? I do not think an amp change will give you the bass you seem to desire. An amp can provide changes but not dramatic. I doubt the room will be enough either. I hope you have tried a sub or two instead, far better bang for the buck if you want to k... | |
| Affordable vs. ultra expensive speakers - what's the difference? I'd tell the O.P. that 'diminishing returns' are part of the difference between a 2k and a 50k loudspeaker, assuming he'd understand that the 50k can sound better. By the 'tone' of his question I think he may be just irritated with folks who can ... | |
| Speakers for daughter I agree with several of the thoughts expressed. The visual appearance could be a lot more important than we men may think it is. I also agree with her being able to hear the speakers if at all possible. Young people do have different/better hearin... | |
| Totally overwhelmed (speakers under $5k) toro3 and steve59 have it right IMO. oldhvymec, you're killing me with that photo. If my wife was out of town I'd think about those as well; what a steal. Finding the type of 'sound' and type of speaker is very important, planar, box, etc. Expos... | |
| Which Tweeter preferred- dome natural material, Beryllium/Metal or Planar Ribbon? Why? After 40+ years I am totally satisfied the the incredible sealed-ribbon tweeter that Raidho uses (and Borresen Acoustics) in its D series (old used D2s for me). (Mid/woofers ported, but a small floor-stander 'box' design.) I liked my oldest, 16-y... | |
| Why People Like Tekton I agree with bigkidz and my D2s are superbly detailed but totally natural and musical, listenable to for hours with a tweeter that will stun you with detail and never hurt your ears with 'too much detail'. Ha. If it's too much detail, and glaring... | |
| Svs, Rel, or ?. Interesting. I use two SB-2000s and one SB-3000 in a semi-DBA setup and would like a fourth. They are passed low though, 50 and 45Hz respectively but blend well. I like the headroom. I also have an older Britannia B1 and a Storm III. I love them ... | |
| Pre-amp out splitter won't power subwoofers? it does power DSP unit. Tried running into the SB-3000 and then back to power amp, and over to left side subs with Y connector. None of the 3 subs played but the mains still did. Went back to Y out of DSPeaker unit and all subs play as well as mains but back to no way t... | |
| Pre-amp out splitter won't power subwoofers? it does power DSP unit. Thx russ69. Thinking of this, rca/line level connections in and out,etc: STI, Pre-Out L&R both -- to--- SB3000 sub's L&R InPuts. SB-3000 L&R Outputs to: L is to DSPeaker L Input, R out to DSP R Input. (and from DSP output back to p... | |
| Pre-amp out splitter won't power subwoofers? it does power DSP unit. Running two (chained) SVS SB-2000 from left side (mono, of course) and one SB-3000 off the right channel. (Would like a 4th. Thanks, Erik; I've been reading your sub stuff lately and enjoy it.) The DSPeaker Anti-Mode 2.0 had L&R analog output... | |
| Placement of Single Subwoofer Affecting Sound of Main Speakers I don't know anything about your sub but I'd still try to set the crossover low like you have been. I really enjoyed one REL Britannia B1 sub set deep in a corner away from both speakers but crossed at 30Hz or so. My main speakers go way low (not... | |
| What do you guys think of adding a subwoofer to this system? Bob, your new system is probably fabulous sounding as is. I'd go another way and tell you to drop $2400 on four SVS older SB-2000 self-powered sealed subs and do a distributed bass array for low even smooth bass when dialed it. It'll be a whole n... | |
| Elac Debut 2.0 B6.2 Vs PSB Alpha P5 I enjoy the Elac 5.2 series Fs, C, Bs in my small tv room with a sub. I've also listened to the B5.2s and F5.2s in my audio room and they are quite acceptable although I do prefer the Raidho D2s. I think 50 or so good integrated watts should be fi... | |
| Powered speakers for a turntable Vanatoo are fun; I've heard them over at least ten years and would like them in a small area. My question is, what does the RIAA equalization from the turntable to give a line-level signal to the powered speakers? I didn't think the Vanatoo speak... | |
| Speaker Comparison Sorry, no specifcs. My ears seem to like Rockport speakers best of the three, though in general. |
