| Help me understand "the swarm" in the broader audiophile world Hello millercarbon, I bet our room bass qualities are very close. I was so concerned the bass traps might detract from my DBA's bass quality, I was initially going to delete all the bass traps from GIK's plan for my room. There was a lot of... | |
| Help me understand "the swarm" in the broader audiophile world rixthetrick:" mahgister Yeah, but did you have a swarm or an array of sub woofers?If you did not, he was very specific in saying that he did, for many years, before applying room treatment. And it was in other areas he found the more significant ... | |
| Help me understand "the swarm" in the broader audiophile world northman, I've been monitoring this thread and realized I had the urge to reply to almost every post, because I thought my comments would be beneficial to the posters, but have successfully been resisting these urges until now. I've ch... | |
| Help me understand "the swarm" in the broader audiophile world northman:" My question is this: do in fact high-end stores embrace the concept of multiple, inexpensive subs? If not, cynicism aside, why not? Or why doesn't Vandersteen or JL or REL and so on design their own swarm? For those out here who love m... | |
| Sub Question. One higher quality sub or two lesser quality? (Rythmik vs HSU) mapman:" I see two speaker outputs on the Dayton. How does that work to drive 4 subs? Hello mapman, It's actually 2 pairs of speaker outputs on the Dayton sub amp. I have a front pair of subs connected to the top pair of outputs and the ot... | |
| Sub Question. One higher quality sub or two lesser quality? (Rythmik vs HSU) Yes, I use the Dayton SA-1000, that Duke mentioned, in my AK Debra 4-sub DBA. It's been on virtually 24/7 in my system for over 5 yrs now and still is performing flawlessly. A good option is to buy one of these for $300-400 from Parts... | |
| Bass Issues Hello audioguy85, I’m not advocating 2 subs, as in one sub for left and one for right, for brian-holmes 2 ch system. All bass below about 80 Hz cannot be localized (we cannot tell specifically where it’s coming from) and is perceived as mono. ... | |
| Sub Question. One higher quality sub or two lesser quality? (Rythmik vs HSU) Hello Ozzy, You know that I know that you know the answer. Two subs will perform about twice as well as one sub in virtually any room, including yours. Two ULS?-15 mk2s would perform very well and, according to their website, they're within ... | |
| Purifi Based Amps - Any Opinions? joemags:" That iron grip on the panel is exactly why I'm interested in the Hegel and Purify." That's my point, Joe. The sound of the bass on any Magnepan is going to sound different depending on whether you power them with a class AB or a cl... | |
| Are big subwoofers viable for 2 channel music? Hello smodtactical, " Do big subwoofers just automatically mean someone is a bass head and the bass they are getting is of poor quality? Many people here said that a well designed large subwoofer is not inferior or slower than a small subwoofe... | |
| Purifi Based Amps - Any Opinions? I’ve used numerous good quality class AB and class D amps on Magnepans and have noticed a difference to the bass reproduced between the two but have not read much from others on these differences that I clearly perceive. IOW, it could be just me.... | |
| Left and right subwoofers with integrated Hello Tony, Have fun and good luck. Remember, sometimes a little rearranging of your room’s decor is necessary for good home audio, just like a little covert rearranging of your ball’s decor/lie is sometimes necessary for good BC golf shots.Enjoy,... | |
| The psychological factor I utilize the spacing, intensity and duration of my wife's incessant high amplitude screeches to "turn that friggin noise down", along with a quick subjective estimation of the quantity, size and weight of all the household objects being simu... | |
| Left and right subwoofers with integrated Hello Tony, Sounds good. I know from fairly extensive experience setting up my own and other systems with dual subs, that precise positioning of sub#1 and then sub#2 in relation to your designated listening seat are the key factors in achieving be... | |
| Left and right subwoofers with integrated Hello Tony, That's okay but you still have the issue about whether 50 Hz is going to be the optimum crossover setting for your main speakers. I tend to think the optimum crossover freq would be closer to 40 Hz but you should check it out and m... |
