| Subwoofer advice Hello pkatsuleas, Yes, that is a beast at 90 lbs and it's rated down to 16 Hz but I think it's a good choice. Using a single high quality sub should provide good bass at your listening position if it's positioned in your room and configur... | |
| Separate subs for music and HT/surround Hello DB, Yes, I remember now you’ve never had 4 working subs in one room. I’d just like you to at least experience the near state of the art bass quality attainable in your room by utilizing all 4 subs in a properly positioned 4-sub DBA. My opin... | |
| Audio Kinesis Swarm Subwoofer Awarded 2019 Golden Ear Award by Robert E. Greene Hello davekayc, I'm guessing from your huge room dimensions that you live in a loft. I've learned that getting the bass right in most home rooms is a key factor in building a high quality, realistic home audio system but it's also usually t... | |
| Audio Kinesis Swarm Subwoofer Awarded 2019 Golden Ear Award by Robert E. Greene Hello davekayc, Congratulations, it seems like you happened into discovering a good combination of positions for both of your JBL subs that's providing the very good bass response a dual sub bass system is capable of. I believe the sub unusua... | |
| Separate subs for music and HT/surround dbphd:"Tim won't like this, but my current plan is a stereo setup comprised of Ayre Series 5X Twenty components and KEF Ref 1s, and a surround/HT setup comprised of an Oppo 205, NAD M22, and a pair if NAD 268s with six LS50s. Current thinking is ... | |
| Looking At CD Players I’m not going to state the Oppo 105 is one of the best CD/SACD players mainly because I haven’t listened to enough hi-end players to know. OTOH, I believe I’ve never felt the need to upgrade to another player because its such a high quality p... | |
| Audio Kinesis Swarm Subwoofer Awarded 2019 Golden Ear Award by Robert E. Greene sawdustguy:"Hello,I'm curious about the swarm systems and have a couple questions. First, what is the "crawl" process you mention? Second, what do you use for speaker wire? I would need a lot of it as my room is roughly 17' x 27' x 9'. " I ord... | |
| Separate subs for music and HT/surround kgveteran, I think we should be respectful of the OP and thread readers by ending this crawl method sidetrack and returning to the original post topic. But, just for your entertainment, I wanted to let you know that I've been using the c... | |
| Time to buy a class D amp? Hey Ziggy, Agreed. My 1st class D amp I bought about 6 years ago, a Class D Audio SDS-440-CS, came with a 28 day in-home free trial. It sounded very good straight out of the box but it kept improving in sound quality well past the trial peri... | |
| Time to buy a class D amp? eziggy:"Last I checked this is about listening to music not about technical specifications. All components will sound different paired with other components. As with anything high end it is best to demo it, preferably at home and see how you lik... | |
| Audio Kinesis Swarm Subwoofer Awarded 2019 Golden Ear Award by Robert E. Greene hleeid:"Would it make sense to experiment positioning the subs on the floor to face the floor (on tall spikes) instead of facing the wall?"Hello Hans, Yes, because you’re venturing into new 4-sub DBA territory that I’ve never been to or even conte... | |
| Subwoofer advice Hello pkatsuleas, You are correct, all of my posts are just my opinions based on my knowledge and experience unless specifically stated otherwise. I don’t consider myself an expert on subs or attaining the best in-room bass response. I wo... | |
| Audio Kinesis Swarm Subwoofer Awarded 2019 Golden Ear Award by Robert E. Greene Hello Hans, Okay, my next experiments were going to be:Experiment#2: Same as Exp#1 but face the drivers toward the wall instead of the ceiling. Deep bass sound waves are very long (a 20 Hz soundwave is about 56 feet long) and will continue ref... | |
| Separate subs for music and HT/surround Hey Ozzy, You know what they say: 2 subs perform twice as well as 1, 4 subs perform twice as well as 2 and 8 subs are good grounds for a divorce. I'm just using the four Audio Kinesis Debra subs, 1'x1'x2' with 10" drivers, and I'm getti... | |
| Please Make Audiogon Cool Hello Evan, I hope you can stay cupcake cool with all those fires in SoCal. Judging from your last post, however, I believe your pants are likely on fire. Love you but please douse those pants, Timothy XOX |
