| Do you think you need a subwoofer? Hi enginedr1960, It sounds like you have a combo system, as I do, used for both music and HT. I was a bit surprised you use VTL 100 mono-block amps in your system. I would imagine they're great for music but less than ideal for HT since tube... | |
| Preamp for music and home theater for under $3500 whiterockman, You may want to simplify and just upgrade to the Oppo-105 and forget about using a separate preamp or processor. The Oppo-105 is very versatile and has a better capacity to be utilized as a high quality preamp than the Oppo-103.... | |
| Choosing Sub-woofers. Please advise ASAP. Hi ctsooner, I understand that each Quatro speaker has a built in 11 band EQ for their built in self-powered sub. I assume you position each of your Quatros so that you achieve the best mid-range and treble response, along with the best s... | |
| Choosing Sub-woofers. Please advise ASAP. Hi ctsooner,You stated: " I think it's awesome that you love your sub set up. I haven't hear the subs, but if you are getting 4 sub 1000 subs for 3k, I have to wonder if they will sound better than a pair of 1500 ea subs that are better quality (... | |
| Recap my ailing Forte 4a? keblew, I was in a very similar position to you about 3 yrs ago. My older Aragon 4004 MKII was going to cost about the same to repair due to leaking caps in the power supply. I thought the cost was too high and was thinking of buying a high ... | |
| Choosing Sub-woofers. Please advise ASAP. ctsooner, I forgot to respond to the last part of your post where you stated:" Yes, I like how Vandersteen runs his subs by taking the signal from the mains the way he does and crossing over where he does do the sound of the bass is consisten... | |
| Choosing Sub-woofers. Please advise ASAP. ctsooner, As you heard at that high end store in NYC, distributed bass array systems work incredibly well. They provide excellent bass response that is capable of being taut, textured, detailed and nuanced while also capable of going dee... | |
| Choosing Sub-woofers. Please advise ASAP. ctsooner, I agree with much of what you posted: listening is subjective, audition and make up your own mind and some other statements. However, I think you have a misunderstanding of the main points I'm trying to convey. I'll attempt to clarify.... | |
| Do you think you need a subwoofer? Hi enginedr1960, I agree with you completely, there really are many ways to achieve great sound. I'm very impressed with the home-made distributed bass array system you created with your 4 Rel q201e compact subs and other components. I've... | |
| Choosing Sub-woofers. Please advise ASAP. dlcockrum, You were right, that thread did keep me busy for a while. Unfortunately, I still feel the spirit and will likely continue to be a DBA (Distributed Bass Array) system disciple and spread the 'good word' about how well they perform c... | |
| Do you think you need a subwoofer? Hi lewm, I already knew the 845s are one of the most efficient Sound Labs ever made (about 89 db). It sounds like your mods made them even more efficient and a good match with your OTL tube amp. I was just listing all the benefits I thoug... | |
| Do you think you need a subwoofer? Hi enginedr1960, I understand the frustrations and compromises involved with the infamous and insideous WAF. I followed the elaborate progressive sub setup procedure rather strictly. I took my time determining exactly where the bass... | |
| Do you think you need a subwoofer? enginedr1960, If someone is not buying a complete DBA (distributed bass array) such as the Audio Kinesis Debra or Swarm systems, I think the Rel q201e mini subs might be the ideal sub to use in a custom 4 sub DBA as you assembled. These subs are s... | |
| Do you think you need a subwoofer? lewn, As you are well aware, the Sound Lab 845Pxs are excellent speakers that are capable of going fairly deep (26 hz). However, I believe a distributive bass arrray (DBA) would be a very good solution in your system for several reasons:1. Th... | |
| Do you think you need a subwoofer? enginedr1960,Congratulations, I'm glad the distributed bass array system works as well in your room as it does in mine. I'm not really surprised since this method has been proven to work in numerous rooms no matter the size or shape.But, if you d... |
