| Where do you put your money? I think this is an interesting topic and shows how we all value parts of the audio reproduction chain. Many will chuckle and disagree with my apportionment but I’ll merely say listen, and challenge most anyone dollar for dollar to do better for t... | |
| Using SUBWOOFERS internal crossover... I need some help here on the concept of ‘Y’ ing out the signal to two different devices. I have tried to Y out from the pre-amp to the left input of a DSPeaker unit as well as to the two left subs. Then I ran the Y out from the preamp to the rig... | |
| Nobsound springs - load range I disagree, this time-rare, with mc. There's nothing wrong with looking for the best starting point via applied science, at least not IMHO. Others can try one hundred permutations and and individual audible testing if they so choose. The key is g... | |
| Nobsound springs - load range All the calculations are a waste of time. @hr9001 's comments below were the things I was attempting to get to as a starting point. He has made the point well. And ears get to be the ultimate 'tuners'. Thanks.----------------- 11-28-2021... | |
| Nobsound springs - load range My point on 'constant force' should have been 'constant additional force' for movement of a constant size, additionally. With a constant rate spring the additional force (or weight) from (equidistant positions) position 3-4 should be the same as... | |
| Nobsound springs - load range @hm9001, I think we agree but that I did not state it clearly enough. If a single spring has a 4kg rate per 4cm, then from the resting point of a 1kg wt at 1cm, it would take another 1kg of weight to depress 1 more cm additional. It's what I have ... | |
| Nobsound springs - load range The Rate I calculated for @hm9000 was right at 20lb/inch of travel for the spring measured. Based on your specs, @ryder I calculate about 12.6lbs per one inch travel for the Rate of Compression. As I understand it, so long as you are in the trav... | |
| Nobsound springs - load range I am a total beginner here. I only use three under components and I pick where they go for stability and ignore the existing feet. I took the feet off all my subs and only use three nobs for them as well. So far as springs go, since this essentia... | |
| Thoughts on having 2 different sized subs in same room I'd sure add it and try to keep the crossover very low on both to avoid localization. I think 80Hz is for the birds...and tiny little main speakers. Yours are not tiny. Good luck; I think it can be integrated. | |
| Listening to music I don’t particularly like I will sometimes gravitate to music that is recorded so well that although it might not be my first choice it is very enjoyable anyway. I still listen to all of my old music though including those atrocious 80s CDs not replaced and my old LPs as w... | |
| The volume of my speakers going down by itself and going back again in a minute or two Sure sounds like the electronics need checked out to me as well. Good luck with them and hope repairs are reasonable. Probably worth keeping! | |
| Finally Learned: Subs serve much larger role than adding more low bass Always forget: first real experience in 'hearing' what a sub does without noticeable bass music was listening to Eva Cassidy's version of "Fields of Gold" a nice REL in the room. Turning the sub from off to on simply opened up the space Eva sang ... | |
| Finally Learned: Subs serve much larger role than adding more low bass First Velodyne F-1800MkII in southern CO in the 90s was to me. I've had plenty of subs since, some RELs and now some SVS sealed (additional subs, sell nothing!) Moved from one REL B1 (in theater now) to three subs: one SVS SB-3000 and two SB-200... | |
| Sonus Faber surprise I would add, on a separate topic, that I purchased brand new Scansonic MB2.5 floorstanding speakers (which forced the used Raidho purchase later). I disagree 100% with the fact that break-in of a loudspeaker is a myth. The small MB2.5 woofers nee... | |
| Sonus Faber surprise I hope you're even more happy the longer you own them and with the right amplification they should be a lot of fun. I've also found SF overall to be less fatiguing and more musical, (sometimes at the minor expense in other areas). I could easily ... |
