Anyone Else Using an Audio Kinesis Swarm or Debra Distributed Bass Array System?
"Thanks for the help! I’ve read the thread over again quickly and don’t see the difference between SWARM and DEBRA. What am I missing???" "Hello magzxi, The AK Swarm and Debra dba systems are basically identical. The Swarm is retailed by AK found...

mcreyn:" As far as room treatments, I believe that most rooms can benefit from them. The speakers and their interaction with the room are by far the largest determining factor in sound. I do believe in optimizing placement as a first step, but ... 
Vandersteen Sub woofers v Rythmik Subs
ctsooner,     My first decent system was a pair of unfinished Klipsch Heresey and a Yamaha CR series 40 watt receiver and modest TT setup that I used through college.  I always regret not trying tubes with that setup but, if I recall correctly, I ... 
Vandersteen Sub woofers v Rythmik Subs
ctsooner and tomic601,     I agree with both of you that subs outputting any bass in the 150 Hz range (I would even say any bass of 80 Hz or higher) is directional and can cause issues.  I've experimented with the Debra amp's crossover filter cont...

Hello mcreyn,     I'm generally against the use of bass traps and other room treatments that attempt to improve in-room bass response.  I much prefer reducing or eliminating the root cause of poor bass response in most rooms, the existence of bass...

mcreyn’s response to s200cr’s statement about just buying speakers that don’t need subs:" Why? The best speaker placement for imaging and bass are generally mutually exclusive!!!!! Are you willing to place 4 main speakers around your room at the o... 
Vandersteen Sub woofers v Rythmik Subs
ctsooner, I completely agree with you on loving the sound of the Quads, large Maggie panels and the original Apogees. Interesting that all of these ’fast’ speakers share the common complaint from owners that they’re all very difficult to integrate...

Hello phusis,     Your post was a well written, reasonable and articulate defense of the monster sub setups of some of the AVS forum members.       I like to think of myself as reasonable, open minded  and resistant to stereotyping .  Your post ma...

" The Swarm and Debra subs are an excellent example of using science and good acoustic theory to maximize the benefit for the minimum dollar. They have addressed the biggest issue, the room. It can be done with any 4 subs. You should see what some...

mcreyn:" but a vented subwoofer (whether ported, slot load, transmission line, or passive radiator) works just as well or better when properly designed. With decent quality subwoofers, the vast majority of issues people have are room and tuning ...

Hello ejr1953,      Let me get this straight, you bought and installed 2 JL Audio F113V2 Fathom subs, JL's latest and finest that are huge, weigh 133 pounds each and have a msrp of $4,500 each, but were initially greeted with "one note" bass?     ... 
Anyone Else Using an Audio Kinesis Swarm or Debra Distributed Bass Array System?
magzxi, Sorry, I just noticed your post requesting advice from 8/19/18. But it looks like clio09 covered for me with accurate info on the amp supplied with the Debra system. Yes, the 15" subs built into your BP-2000 main speakers would count as 2 ...

m-db,     Okay, I understand now you weren't directing the daisy chaining question to me.Woops,Tim 
Small or large sub for music
" Have you tried daisy chaining all four?"m-db,No, didn't think there was a need.  The Debra system's 1,000 watt amp has 'A" and 'B'  sub/speaker output sections, each with its own 'Left' and "Right' sub/speaker outputs, so  4 sub/speaker outputs...
