Class D is just Dandy!
 "If bias was a disqualifier, these forums would be dead quiet."Hi mapman,     Good point. I agree that most of us, including myself, have developed biases along our audio journeys.       I view my bias in favor of class D as based on research a...

" It's interesting how some defenders of Class D amps go to such lengths to classify the critics of these amplifiers as a minority, yet then go on to claim that the critics are prejudiced. Hmmm ...  "Hi cleeds,     Sorry, I'm not understanding yo...

" IMHO I find class D amps to be less musical then Class A amps. I tried several class D amps and to my ears they lack the midrange, rhythmicspace, texture, air and less involving compared to good Class A amps.Something just seems to be missing m...

" It is the notion that Class D switching speeds are the cause, and that someday they'll be fixed that irritates me. It's a type of prejudice not born in evidence. It's the equivalent of "all feedback is bad" sales pitch for some amplifier design...

" 3k isn't really out of my budget, but I was planning on using that $3k to split my 2ch setup from my HT setup and I don't currently have enough space for 4 subs as I live in a 1 bedroom apartment. Plus those won't pass the WAF and toddler test...

Hi rjb1101,     Overall, that's good news.  I still think you'll get the best bass response in your room by following the sub locating method I outlined on my 1/28/18 post.       Since REL has confirmed what you already knew (that the T/1 is a bet...

" The Antimode engineers recommend corner placement for maximum reinforcement and minimal dips/nulls. That position unfortunately also gives the biggest peaks, but you can deal with those with the room eq."Hi willemj,          Yes, I've found t...

" Deep bass is not directional, and that has been shown by a lot of research. Yet, as some have argued here, it may sound as if these deep bass notes do indeed emanate from different speakers. The explanation is that the human brain uses the uppe...

Hi ejr1953,     I think we're stating similar but slightly different things.     You're stating you've been able to perceive 'stereo bass' in your system through the use of only 2 matching subs.     I'm stating I've been able to perceive 'stereo b...

" Use of multiple subs can minimize rooms nodes so, depending on the room, it can be an excellent solution to achieving flat in-room low frequency response."Hi cleeds,     Strictly speaking, your statement is true and has been scientifically and ... 
Stereo Subwoofer Pairing
Hi rjb1101, Recording engineers understand that human hearing is very good at perceiving the directionality or where in their environment mid-range and treble sounds are emanating from but very poor in perceiving the directionality of deep bass so... 
Stereo Subwoofer Pairing
rjb1101,     If you set it up just so, you could become the first human in the history of our species to be able to hear deep bass in stereo.       Where'd you get the idea that stereo subs would be a good idea? Or even discernable.       Sorry, s...

" The h160 may end up being the most sensible option as modifying the h300 might seriously deter potential future owners.Still also seems a darn shame to have that doorstop of a BAT amp sitting idle too.Maybe I just buy more speakers and make 3 or...
