| Best multi-purpose subwoofer millercarbon:" Like, we all talk about this stuff with regard to bass, when in reality its not only bass but all frequencies. With bass its in your face obvious. But its across the board."Hello millercarbon, From your last post, I can tell yo... | |
| Best multi-purpose subwoofer ghulamr, It seems like you've decided to go with a single sub in your system. You'll still be able to get good bass response with a single sub if you're willing to accept just having a single bass sweet spot at your listening seat. I'd su... | |
| GO PATS! If my team isn't playing, I just root for a good game. But that was the worst Super Bowl game I've ever seen. I didn't care who won and it looked like the Rams didn't either. Just an awful, painful game to watch.Go Bears! Tim | |
| Best multi-purpose subwoofer seasdiamond:" Wouldn’t it be easier to just get 2 subs and run room correction than go 4 subs?" Yes, many users might be satisfied with 2 subs room corrected to provide good bass response at a single sweet spot in their room and it would be ce... | |
| Best multi-purpose subwoofer I don't really understand what is meant by pressurizing the room. Can anyone please explain this physical process and its benefits? I do, however, understand many of the terms and concepts involved related to achieving very good bass res... | |
| Best multi-purpose subwoofer batman1971, The REL Storm III sub woofer consists of a single 10 inch (250mm) long throw bass driver,not 4 drivers, that faces downward in a large cabinet ( 16.5"w x 24.5"h x 13"d; 60 pound). It is powered by an internal 150 watt amp, not a... | |
| Best multi-purpose subwoofer ghulamr, Are you ruling out a Swarm type bass system? If it's too expensive for you, I understand. Prior to the Swarm, I tried multiple brands and models of single and dual sub configurations and positions in my room ( Velodyne, REL, JL, ... | |
| Best multi-purpose subwoofer ghulamr, You don't mention your budget but there's a solution that'll give you state of the art bass for both 2-ch and ht. It's called the Audio Kinesis Swarm distributed bass array system. Here's a review of it from The Absolute Sound maga... | |
| High resolution digital is dead. The best DAC's killed it. Imho, musical original masters recorded directly to a hi-res digital format should be the norm. It has the highest capacity for frequency response and detail accuracy, a lower noise floor and the ability to capture the actual transient respon... | |
| Which Class D Amplifier? PS Audio, Ghent, Nord, Merrill or other??? Hello atmasphere, I think I understand; while GaNs do switch much faster than traditional MOSFETs they still require some driver circuit current to operate. The use of GaN FETs results in significantly lower gate capacitance and stored charge... | |
| Impedance match georgehifi, Interesting experiment. You used slightly different phrasing, but thanks for validating the general impedance matching guideline of the amp input impedance being at least 10x the output impedance of the preamp or source component ... | |
| Tube pre for class d recommendations big_greg, Great to hear you're wanting the ARC LS26 to be detailed and revealing because that's what I experienced with some newer ARC preamps in my system. They sounded more like very good ss preamps to me. Hopefully, the all tube ARC and... | |
| Tube pre for class d recommendations Hello big_greg, I’ve read that tubes, when pushed hard, tend to add even order harmonics to source signals while solid-state tends to add odd order harmonics. Both are inaccuracies, but we perceive even order harmonics as pleasing to the ear as a... | |
| Which Class D Amplifier? PS Audio, Ghent, Nord, Merrill or other??? Getting back to singintheblues original question:"Which Class D Amplifier? PS Audio, Ghent, Nord, Merrill or other??? Which company is producing the best sounding Class D?Which models should I be looking to demo?"singintheblues, Since you never li... | |
| Impedance match I always read and was taught by members here that the guideline was at least 10x but will work well together with anything greater, too. Identical match is definitely not correct. Tim |
