| In my comparison experiment, go Lore or Lore Reference, or something else, for the same $ listening99 If you have the Moabs then I think the Lores are going to be a little disappointing. I only heard them once and they were very detailed, nice soundstage, transparent, and quite impressive for a $1000 speaker. They also sounded so smal... | |
| In my comparison experiment, go Lore or Lore Reference, or something else, for the same $ Funny. I bought a pair of Zu Omen Dirty Weekend speakers that should come in a week or so. A friend of mine has Druids so I was curious about the sound. I don't expect them to be keepers since I have both the Tekton Moabs and Magnepan 3.7's but... | |
| Burning a hole in my pocket! I'm not a big believer in tweaks but somebody recommended the ifi iPurifier3 to me and since it was only $129 on Amazon with free returns I bought it. I hear a subtle, but very real, improvement using it on both of my systems. It makes no sense... | |
| Is this how a Subwoofer Crossover is supposed to work? Amazon had this: https://www.amazon.com/Oatey-33403-Plastic-Galvanized-4-Inch/dp/B000H5T1PI Cheap and it comes by Monday. More stuff to play with LOL. | |
| Is this how a Subwoofer Crossover is supposed to work? erik_squires How would you plug the speaker ports? There are two of them, each about 4 1/4" in diameter. The peak at 36 Hz is easy to tame with the parametric equalizer in Roon. No real need for a miniDSP for that. But the holes at 61, 77, an... | |
| Is this how a Subwoofer Crossover is supposed to work? kenjit "Why would anybody design an electronic lowpass filter with a variable slope and a fixed crossover point? Thats useless. What you want is a variable crossover point and fixed slope." That is what I thought also and that is what started this... | |
| Is this how a Subwoofer Crossover is supposed to work? Again, thanks to those of you that are providing constructive input.1) I've put the system back together, moving one sub to a different location and setting phase and crossover frequencies individually for each sub. I am still using the DAC to pr... | |
| Is this how a Subwoofer Crossover is supposed to work? imhififan Interesting suggestion. I wish they came in 5 or 7 db attenuation. -10 starts taking the problem in the other direction LOL. | |
| Is this how a Subwoofer Crossover is supposed to work? 1) So I’m not an idiot. Of course I’m setting the volume of the amplifier at a fixed level that approximates my 75 dB listening level and fine tuning volumes with the DAC that then controls what both the amp and the subs see.2) If I wanted to spen... | |
| Is this how a Subwoofer Crossover is supposed to work? geared4me I use the volume controls on the R8 to get the rough level and then the volume control on the DAC to fine tune. The DAC doesn't have any amplification. The DAC Volume Control only reduces volume. BUT it turns out having the Subs hoo... | |
| Is this how a Subwoofer Crossover is supposed to work? OK. I have taken the suggestions to measure a single Starke SW12 subwoofer near miked in the middle of the room sitting on a padded footrest which is about the best I can do to take out any factors other than the subwoofer. Just for yucks I also m... | |
| Is this how a Subwoofer Crossover is supposed to work? audiokinesis Duke, Thank you for that elaboration. Very helpful and informative. I'll make some measurements of a single Starke SW12 this evening as well as a very cheap Klipsch R-12SW that I have lying around and post those results. | |
| Is this how a Subwoofer Crossover is supposed to work? audiokinesis"Your measurements look to me like they are in the ballpark for a variable-frequency second-order lowpass filter.I can elaborate if you’d like"Please do since I don't know what that is. | |
| Is this how a Subwoofer Crossover is supposed to work? I appreciate all the input here although I am less enthusiastic about how this thread has devolved into the kind of digressions and name calling that seems typical of Audiogon. Also, since these forums don't support true threading it is challengi... | |
| Is this how a Subwoofer Crossover is supposed to work? kenjit As you know perfectly well I haven't said anything about how the subs sound and that has nothing to do with my question or this conversation. |
