| Where are the subs? dbphd:"As I’m sure you’re aware, an SMS-1 emits a series of pulses through the subs that are captured by its microphone, evaluated, and equalization applied that mainly cuts peaks without amplifying valleys. The process can be for one or multiple ... | |
| Magnepan for Background Listening Hellomijostyn,I agree and very well said!Tim | |
| Magnepan for Background Listening seanheis1, I think you'd enjoy them as background speakers and actually having them at least 3' out from the wall will only enhance their performance as background music speakers. The fact that they're dipoles and there's direct sound from th... | |
| Where are the subs? dbphd: "I’m skeptical of your last sentence. The Ayre preamp connects to the SMS-1 which connects to the subs. I never use subs without acoustic room correction."Hello dbphd, Millercarbon , clio09 and myself all have experience using 4... | |
| Demo'd a few sets of speakers over the past 2 weeks... Hello bstatmeister, A great combination to consider would be a pair of Magnepan 1.7i combined with an Audio Kinesis Swarm distributed bass array system to supply the missing bass impact and dynamics down to 20 Hz. Here's an Absolute Sound rev... | |
| Wadia dead? Hello jbuhl, I believe Wadia was bought by an Italian company and then acquired by the McIntosh Group, an American holding company formerly called the Fine Sounds Group. Here’s a Wikipedia link:https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/McIntosh_GroupTim | |
| Where are the subs? Hi dbphd, I hope the recipient of your gift was appreciative of your largesse, quite an impressive gift! The DBA concept is designed with either a hard surfaced or a carpeted floor and untreated walls and ceilings in mind. The free reflec... | |
| Where are the subs? Hello avanti1960, I agree with you in general that most good quality speakers will benefit by being fed more power from a quality amp. However, there's an inherent problem with attaining high quality bass response performance from a pair o... | |
| Acoustic treatment Hi jtcf, I just came up with the acronym ABT (automatic bass trap) to avoid having to use its full name on my last post. I restrained from stating it didn't work because I've never tried them and, therefore, I'm not qualified to have an ... | |
| Where are the subs? Hello wspohn, I'm just curious what source material you use that contains organ music with bass extension down to 16 Hz?Thanks, Tim | |
| Where are the subs? Hello dbphd, I think you made a great decision by opting to give the DBA concept a tryout in your new room. I’m retired and have the time and interest in assisting you if you’d like. I just have a few questions for you:I know you’re using the Kef ... | |
| Acoustic treatment jtcf: " Check this out:https://www.psiaudio.swiss/avaa-c20-active-bass-trap/It looks to me like an expensive alternative to the DBA system Hello jtcf, It seems to me the active bass trap and the distributed bass array (DBA) system operate on... | |
| Acoustic treatment Using large, expensive and butt-ugly bass traps always seemed analogous to opening windows in mid-winter to control the heat in your house. Better to control it at the source, right? Like turning down the thermostat to reduce the heat o... | |
| Where are the subs? audioman58, No single sub, no matter how good or expensive, can compete with the bass performance of a 4-sub distributed bass array system. Even a pair of top quality subs will not match the performance of a 4-sub DBA system. Since dbph... | |
| 'Unlistenable' early digital recordings? viridian: "Who cares about sound quality?" Gee, viridian, I don't know. Perhaps every single member on this site except you! What planet are you from?Tim |
