Best bass in Earth! Bass that just smells right...
millercarbon: " There is no stereo information at the lowest frequencies. Even if there is, there isn’t. I’m not gonna get into a technical spat over timing either. None of that matters. The simple fact is human beings cannot even hear low freque... 
Are big subwoofers viable for 2 channel music?
brotw: " I believe room correction has the benefit of improving the tonality of the rooms bass response at the LP. Of all the speakers and amps that have made their way through my listening room, not one did not benefit from dsp. Music sounded mor... 
More Power or use subwoofer to boost bass for music
Hello gweedoargus,     Your description makes perfect sense to me. The B&W 804 d3s are no doubt a very high quality pair of speakers with impressive bass extension down to 20 Hz +/- 3 db. However, I still think you’d be pleasantly surprised by... 
Are big subwoofers viable for 2 channel music?
    I agree with millercarbon and brotw, DBAs  excel at providing very fast, smooth, detailed bass throughout the entire room, not just at a designated LP.  The bass is also capable of being as powerful and dynamic as the music or HT content calls... 
Downfiring subs on carpet?
Hello markj941:     Please don’t take the advice of those sub purists who recommend getting rid of the floor altogether, you may find the cure is worse than the disease, depending on what’s underneath your floor.     It’d be very interesting and i...

danvignau:”I use matched amps and pre-amps for my older 803's and subs. This gives me control of the bass without creating out of phase signals. It also allows me to tailor the bass for the recording. “     If your tailoring the bass for individua...

     Huh? 
Daisy chain another subwoofer
     The guy in the video is generally correct and ultimately comes to the right conclusion, all bass below about 80 Hz is perceived by humans as mono.  This  means we cannot localize bass tones below 80 Hz, in other words, we cannot perceive exac... 
Silver is the appropriate color for everything but speakers.
     Mine are all black except my silver Lumin D2 dac/streamer, it just looks too cool in silver to resist.     I also generally like my women like my faceplates. Tim

“Tim, the Mini DSP looks interesting, everything I see shows coming off an AVR LFE out. I use a two channel pre amp. My system is for two channel music only. Do you own this product for further questions on use?“mizike and luisma31,     No, I don’... 
Class D is just Dandy!
Hello listening99,     I’m not quite sure who you’re directing your question to.  If it’s me, I don’t think I’m the best individual to answer your question.       My experience with class D amps has mainly been searching for ones that best drive m...

     For HT and LFE, it may be possible to adjust the crossover frequency through your surround processor, DVD or Blu-ray player.  I know both my Oppo 105 and 205 Blu-ray players have this capacity, yours may too.Tim
