| Little help with REL subwoofers, please? Thanks, @jjss49 -- that's sage and practical advice, and I've been leaning that way. You're right about the used market; I've been keeping my eye out. But what does "be done" mean? I've never heard that phrase out here. Thanks to everyone for yo... | |
| Little help with REL subwoofers, please? @mijostyn , You "sat"? Haha. My most memorable bass experience ever was in the Phil Zone. Boston Garden. I felt like my throat was closing off, I could barely breathe. My friend turned to me with a look of wonder and small alarm. Gone are the days... | |
| Little help with REL subwoofers, please? Ha! Yes, the crossover was easily sold without a loss. I enjoyed having it; i's a neat piece of kit. I've always held off on equalization (if only because ... one more thing) but I hear you. Maybe the time has come. Any recommendations? | |
| Little help with REL subwoofers, please? Sure, I do understand that. My room is just a bit over 250 sq feet, so I'm not trying to reproduce St Patrick's Cathedral. I'd simply like to introduce some rumblier lows without creating new problems (or introducing new lows to my bank account). | |
| Little help with REL subwoofers, please? I had a JL E110. I had it dialed in pretty nicely in another room with other speakers. Moving into this smaller room and changing to the Maggies ... just didn't work. I used a CR-1; bass traps; the subwoofer crawl; and lots of different placement ... | |
| Little help with REL subwoofers, please? Thank you all. @sns: right on! I hope you do a follow-up post somewhere out here on your experience with the two T9s. @audiorusty, thank you--that may be the most accessible explanation of standing waves, and the link was very helpful. I espec... | |
| Little help with REL subwoofers, please? Thanks, @audiorusty. I'm sure you're right about the room; I could never tame that JL, even with an external crossover, some room treatments, and all kinds of fussing. Boomy, as you say, and sluggish sounding. I've read that multiple subwoofers d... | |
| Thinking of Magnepan ... finally! @troidelover1499, you might take a look at the forum on the PS Audio site. There are many threads about Maggies. They seem to have a good return policy and have often had fantastic trade-in discounts. I've never owned one of their amps so I can't ... | |
| Thinking of Magnepan ... finally! I've owned Maggies on and off for about thirty years, and as others have said they have a sound like no other. I think all the standard advice applies: more power helps, work with the room, consider a couple subs (I use a pair of small RELs), find... | |
| Ray Charles - "Rap is not music" @tylermunns, I hear you and love your list! That's some history you're putting out there.... | |
| Ray Charles - "Rap is not music" @tylermunns, I'm not joking about Lou Reed at all, but he probably was. He did a song called "The Original Wrapper" (sic) on his 1986 album Mistrial. I love Lou but that album wasn't his finest hour. | |
| RIP David Lindley @tablejockey, thank you so much for posting those videos. I’d seen the SNL performance but I hadn’t caught Henry Kaiser’s "Requiem." It’s WONDERFUL. | |
| Ray Charles - "Rap is not music" Of course Lou Reed was the original wrapper .... | |
| Better story teller than Edmund Fitzgerald? Widespread Panic: "1x1." Sugarman! I also seem to remember a touching ballad by Deep Purple about a 1971 casino fire in Montreux, Switzerland.... | |
| Ray Charles - "Rap is not music" @simao: I'm in complete agreement with you on the "vague, uninformed, and biased cultural gatekeeping" here. Well said. My point was simply that, as far as I can tell, Ray Charles never said that "rap is not music." The fact that the OP can't even... |
