| 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. | |
| Stand mount to floor stand. I'd also say you should expect rather different presentations and although I may have preferred the R3 years ago, I'm sure probably in the Cremona M camp these days after many years of various audio pleasures. If you can try them out easily, why ... | |
| How does a REL subwoofer add dimensionality and depth to a sound system? How does a REL subwoofer add dimensionality and depth to a sound system? Wow, the OP’s original question was pretty quickly forgotten. I hope this does not turn out to be a thread for REL haters and owners, but some seem itchin’ for a fight. I’m... | |
| How does a REL subwoofer add dimensionality and depth to a sound system? I'm no expert but I do have two RELs and my 'selling' demo was listening to 'Fields of Gold' by Eva Cassidy with the sales guy gone and me turning it on and off. There is no bass on the track, per se, but with a good REL engaged the sense of the r... |
