dbphd:"Tim, would using 3 subs instead of 4 violate a distribution principle?  A single SMS-1 supports 3 equalized outputs, but you need to daisy chain to another SMS-1 for additional outputs.  I have 2 SMS-1s, and they are thin enough to stack ni...

wspohn:"I have run the subs with the audio front end on occasion and they are very good indeed, not just for bass reinforcement with video. Note that they were installed using proper analytic instrumentation for location, configuration and tuning ... 
Upgrading sub to get a live feel.
watcher, Okay, speaker level connections should work well and daisy-chaining from one sub to the next is convenient, too. When I positioned my four subs, I decided to just follow the suggested procedure and locate the subs to optimize the bass pe...

phusis: "Truth be told I’m not on a mission to willfully oppose your views, but simply to recommend what I feel would be one heck of subwoofer pairing with a future main speaker acquisition the OP appears to have in mind. But you don’t want to hea...

Hello Watcher,     Sorry about mcreyn and phusis having a discussion on the benefits of horn tapped subs in the middle of your thread.  I just found out they're both longtime members of the Church of Latter Day Bass. A little rude but no big deal....

Hello ihor,     Cool, it's a bit difficult to put into words and I'm glad you understood.  I can help you with the positioning and proper setting of the volume, crossover frequencies and phase controls when you get your third sub. Just send me a p...

Hello DB,     Okay, so are you going to use a combined single system for music and HT or two separate systems?Tm 
Upgrading sub to get a live feel.
Hello ihor,     I would suggest running all three subs in mono and adding a larger 10 or 12 inch sub for your third sub would be the best choices.       There are virtually no current or past music recordings in any format (vinyl, cd or hi-rez fil...

Hello DB,     I've recently read a few of those rave reviews on the Bryston SP-3 and there's no doubt it's a high quality unit.  But the Oppo 105 and 205 are also high quality units and I thought one of your main goals was streamlining and simplif...

mcreyn:"You can also continue to believe that your 2.7s extend with any authority to 35 hz, they start to roll off in the 50hz range and will quickly slap the panels when trying to reproduce any type of deep bass. If you would high pass the 2.7s ...

Hello DB,     I thought you were going to take the Bryston SP-3 out of your system and use the Oppo 205 for surround sound decoding instead, connect the l+r stereo/l+r front surround outputs from the Oppo 205 to the KX-5, connect the SMS-1 to the ...

mcreyn:"At the end of the day, it is not about hitting huge SPL levels, it is about getting the best sound, which requires using subs that can stay clean and not run into dynamic compression. 4 10" subs can't do this in a reasonably sized room. ...

Hello clearthink,      I hope your user name is indicative of your actual cognitive functioning and you'll be able to communicate more effectively than cleeds.     Unfortunately, I believe we've gotten off to a poor start based on your first two p...

cleeds:"There is very much such a thing as stereo bass. Because I have it, there’s no need for me to search for it. Have a nice day!"     Hello cleeds,     Let me get this straight.  You have a system that's capable of playback of music in stereo ...
