Upgrade phenomenon
Hello cat_doorman,     Don't tell anyone, but I'm actually an amateur Audio Psychiatrist and I have an amateur surgery room setup in my garage.    I usually just wing it with my diagnoses but in your case, being as you are actually a doorman for c...

Time to buy a class D amp?

Time to buy a class D amp?
Hello bolduque,     It seems you’re at the stage that I, and likely almost every Audiogon member, was at in the early point in their interest in the home audio hobby. You’ve built a decent system that you enjoy and are interested in exploring how ... 
Help deciding on REL 328 -- size vis a vis rooms? Match w/ speakers? Buy or wait?
Hello hilde45,     Excellent, enjoy!Tim 
There's a lot more bass in a 6.5" driver than most of you think
      " treating the room instead of trying to compensate the bad room with a limited speaker is the path to long term satisfaction ime"    I believe the same and it makes a lot of sense to me.  I hope we're all correct, since I just spent about... 
There's a lot more bass in a 6.5" driver than most of you think
     I think most bookshelf speakers, just like most tower speakers, begin at a disadvantage in terms of providing good bass response at the designated listening position regardless of the size of the bass drivers; which is that the drivers for al...

elliotbnewcombjr:"Before, large room, he was thinking of adding a single subwoofer, now not feeling the need. If only 1 sub, I think it would add mud. A pair of small directional subs, say 10", self powered, adjustable crossover and individual vol... 
The equalizer you don't know you have
     Crossovers, smoshovers!       I just have a hankerin for listening to some good music reproduced through a pair of speakers I like the sound of.  Okay, maybe 1 or 2 pairs of properly positioned and configured subs added would sound and feel e... 
Help deciding on REL 328 -- size vis a vis rooms? Match w/ speakers? Buy or wait?
Hey hilde45,     You're welcome.  I’m not a bass-head but I do strive for and enjoy music and HT audio reproduced accurately, full range, natural and that sounds as good as possible to me in my modest sized 23’x16’x8’ living room system. I underst... 
The equalizer you don't know you have
kenjit: "Which is why so many audiophiles are never happy with their speakers. The EQ that is built in, has been tuned to the designers ears rather than your ears. If you want a pair of trousers that fits you, who should try it on to see if it fit...

Hello hilde45, I was checking out the R328 sub that you just bought used and I think you made a good decision buying it, it not only looks very nice in that piano black with aluminum trim, but I think it should work out well for your bass needs, t... 
Life After Your Magnepan’s
Hello stickman451,One last tip for best results:  I recommend you try to set the volume and crossover frequency as low as possible on all three subs with the bass still sounding very good to you at your listening position.  My experience taught me... 
Subwoofer pairing for Sonus Faber Elipsa SE
Hello antman,     Two subs properly positioned and configured can provide very good bass at a single designated listening position, but it takes a minimum of three subs positioned in a distributed bass array (DBA) method to provide very good bass ... 
Help deciding on REL 328 -- size vis a vis rooms? Match w/ speakers? Buy or wait?
Hello hilde45,     One way is to buy two subs that can be piggy-backed together; you run your left an right B outputs to one sub and then connect the first sub to the second.   I know REL and other brands have subs that can do this.  You'd run bot...
