| Pair of Rel S510’s or Carbon Special’s? I have been there and was an owner of the S510 and now JL. I have a few thoughts about your situation based on my experience: 1) The S510s are too small for a large room with large speakers. 2) I would try the DSP function to see if you can get ... | |
| Music Metre Signature Audio cables I have owned a pair of silvers for the past twenty years or so, if that means anything to you. Took them out of the drawer last year to connect a crossover. | |
| Moved from medium attic like room to larger room, everything is too bright I also have an echo issue. The cheap and easy way to really tell is how easy it is to understand other people talking in that room, especially multiple people at a time, or the hand clap as suggested above. It can also be measured with microphones... | |
| Mark levinson 532h and 531h I own the 532H. It was annoying with high level connection to subwoofers, always popping and going in to protection mode. Other than that I appreciate the woofer control, the large & slightly laid back soundstage and very even-sounding bandwid... | |
| Vandersteen Forum I once criticized the frequency response of a past version of a Vandersteen model. Someone called dad to tell on me, which was weird. Poor Richard. | |
| Factory service for products from the 90's My very early model Lamm preamp has been back to them a couple times in the past few years or so. Despite the shipping cost, I was happy to have it repaired. I had a fifty year old car that could be fixed, easily. It too was a 'classic'. | |
| Your sub experience: Easy or hard? @prof Good post. I can relate to it better than those who report outstanding and far-reaching benefits to subs. The subs simply fix a wide and deep bass dip that is not possible to fix with speaker or listener placement. I also like to play wit... | |
| Your sub experience: Easy or hard? My first experience with a pair of subs was difficult to the point where the best spot still resulted in unsatisfactory bass. The best spot was hard to find with asymmetric placement but neither in a corner. The bass was flat except for except a ... | |
| My subwoofer trials and tribulations. With so many apparent new subwoofer owners, it is tips like this that can be a good starting point for those in a rut. Ask me how I know ;). My experience with REL is the placement is the key, not only relative to the room but also to the speakers... | |
| Sabrina X Anyone Add Subwoofer(s) The reason to high pass main speakers is to keep them from messing up the bass if they are messing up the bass. I begrudgingly bought a crossover one only to solve that issue. The phase control on JL audio subs is set at 80Hz, which is their prefe... | |
| Sabrina X Anyone Add Subwoofer(s) A subwoofer can certainly improve clarity by using them to smooth frequency response. I would highly suggest room measurements to better define your issue before going further. Measurements are an efficient and accurate way to improve listening ex... | |
| Large speaker recommendation While JBL and Revel would natural choices for ML amplification and have ’big’ sound, they are both large departures from the SF sound. I kind of think used Wilson Sasha and Rockport speakers. There are a lot of good speakers for you to choose from... | |
| Best Home HIFi you’ve listened to I do not currently have audiophile friends. Albert Porter was nice enough to have me at his home while I was still in college. He had Soundlabs at the time, but I was most struck by the sound of his Walker turntable over SACD, which was the thing ... | |
| Seller Listing Pet Peeve A serious seller with take pictures of at least 5 of the six sides, disclose some provenance, condition and included original accessories and price it normally. There are a low percentage ads with serious sellers, ime. I do not know why they both... | |
| Cornwall 4 vs JBL horn under $10,000 I own the 4367s. They are not appropriate for the Wellsenton R8, requiring much more power. I do not know about the Cornwalls. |
