| Help me understand "the swarm" in the broader audiophile world dannad:" There are two types of people, those who don't think low frequency bass is directional and accept that bass arrays must work, and those that think bass is directional and who put subs near their speakers invariably creating combing effect... | |
| The psychological factor big_greg:" My preamp goes to 11. And yes, I've taken it there." Nice Spinal Tap reference, big g, my preamp's volume is digital and goes to a max on each input of 80 dBs. That tops a random "11", right? “ It's such a fine line between st... | |
| Let's be a little meta: What topics are most hotly debated? Hello uberwaltz,Hah! I didn't really think that power was included in my superpowers, either, but they tend to come and go and vary in strength.Whoa!! I just spotted a hot Sheila with my xray vision at the store, gotta go. Later, Tim | |
| Help me understand "the swarm" in the broader audiophile world northman:" And yet the discussion of multiple-sub array contains almost none of this fastidiousness. It's what academics would call a different discourse. It's by far the most casual approach to sound out here: mix and match inexpensive subs. Wha... | |

Anyhoo, isn't it about time someone chimed in on this thread and extolled, at excruciatingly excessive length, about the virtues of multiple subs? As you cats are well... | |
| Help me understand "the swarm" in the broader audiophile world brownsfan:" For those of you using DBA combined with room treatments, did you find that the DBA reduced ringing substantially without room treatments, or should I expect my Swarm to primarily rectify nulls at the MLP and expect that the traps wil... | |
