| Bought a pair of Magnepan LRS. Should I buy a Schiit Vidar or Bryston 3B-ST? Hello dougstat, I’m definitely very interested. I think I’d be satisfied if they just outperform my current Magnepan 2.7QRs. Mine are 6’ x2’ , about 60 pounds and difficult to move one handed into optimum position for music listening(I had a strok... | |
| Tekton 4-10 Subwoofer Hello bstatmeister, I agree, it does look cool. Are you planning on using this just for music, just for HT or both? What size is your room? It’s fairly well know that 2 subs will sound and perform about twice as good as 1 sub, regardless of the ex... | |
| Separate subs for music and HT/surround Hello DB, For best results, I seriously suggest you ignore Velodyne's recommendation of placing one HSG-15 near each main speaker and instead just position them where they sound best using the crawl method. They're probably catering to users ... | |
| Bought a pair of Magnepan LRS. Should I buy a Schiit Vidar or Bryston 3B-ST? Hello areasonableman, The Class D Audio SDS-470C is a very good choice for a very good amp at a very reasonable price. It’s got plenty of power to drive the LRS, has balanced and unbalanced inputs and has an accurate and detailed presentation ... | |
| Separate subs for music and HT/surround dbphd: "The four subs, 2 Velodyne HGS-10s and 2 HGS-15s, are installed and the SMS-1s daisy-chained, although I’ll need some help in relocating each HGS-15s from a corner to behind the Ref 1s. I did an initial set up of the SMS-1s, but it will nee... | |
| Bought a pair of Magnepan LRS. Should I buy a Schiit Vidar or Bryston 3B-ST? Hello esch1238, I've only read the numerous very good reviews on the Magnepan LRS and haven't yet heard them in person. It seems like these would be incredible bargains at $650/pair, especially considering it's described as a full-range quasi... | |
| Searching for matching(?) Subwoofer solution Hello Hans, Remember, connecting the 4 DEBRA subs is a bit different from hooking up regular speakers with regular spkr wire that has a pos. conductor wire and a neg.conductor wire combined side by side. With the Debra, you need to follow the proc... | |
| Bought a pair of Magnepan LRS. Should I buy a Schiit Vidar or Bryston 3B-ST? Hello jt35, Yes, you ’re correct and that’s been the advice from Magnepan as long as I can remember. Typically recommending at least a 100 watt class A or AB amp that doubles its power into a 4 ohm load. It’s the main reason that I always used... | |
| Bought a pair of Magnepan LRS. Should I buy a Schiit Vidar or Bryston 3B-ST? areasonableman:" I plan on travelling so small form factor matters to me but I'd like to stay with class ab, and balanced connections. I like the idea of having monoblocks with the Schiit when I get the money, and I've had good experiences with th... | |
| Searching for matching(?) Subwoofer solution Hello Hans, I'm glad you went out and listened to subs at local shops in your area. It's a very good method of gaining knowledge and experience, getting an idea of costs, an understanding of sound quality performance differences between sub b... | |
| Searching for matching(?) Subwoofer solution Hello allucard and bdp24, I don't doubt that both the REL HT1205 and Rhythmik L12 are very good subs that work vey well in your systems. There are also other very good subs currently available that run the gambit from relative bargains to qui... | |
| Searching for matching(?) Subwoofer solution Hello mijostyn/Mike, You’re going to hate this, but I agree with you that most wives don’t like tripping over subs in big boxes/cabinets and are generally more concerned with aesthetics than their husbands. We men generally seem to have more u... | |
| Searching for matching(?) Subwoofer solution Hello Duke, Thanks for the clarification, it all makes a lot of sense to me. It seems like your new system concept will probably work well not only in a variety of small rooms, but also some medium sized rooms. Plus, I'm sure you wo... | |
| Searching for matching(?) Subwoofer solution audiokinesis:"I’m working in a small-room optimized speaker system and surprise surprise it includes four small subs, two of which are built into the bottoms of the main speakers for the sake of practicality."Hey Duke, Very interesting. As I ... | |
| Searching for matching(?) Subwoofer solution mijostyn:"Actually, it might work better in a small room. Every dimension in a room makes difference but perhaps less so with multiple subwoofers." Hello Mike, I believe you're correct. Very few people probably even consider, much less ... |
