| 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. | |
| Is this how a Subwoofer Crossover is supposed to work? imhififan1 Shipping costs returning the subs would be a significant portion of the purchase price. I would rather figure out a way to make them work for me if possible. | |
| Is this how a Subwoofer Crossover is supposed to work? erik_squires I can remeasure with one sub and set the crossover to its 200 Hz high point but I'm not sure the results will show much difference but you can never tell.I am using a Willsenton R8 tube amp to drive Moabs. If I want to add subs to le... | |
| REVEL performa3 f208 or TEKTON Moab @jeffvegas can't wait to hear your side by side comparision of the Revels and Moabs. So few people on here post opinions based on actual a/b comparisions which is the only real way to know what you prefer. Just be prepared for the wait on the Mo... | |
| REVEL performa3 f208 or TEKTON Moab I own the Moabs and Magnepan 3.7's. The Moabs have a very rich involving sound but the fact that they are cheaply made, poorly damped, box speakers also shows up in the way they sound. The Magnepan's are a little less involving but technically I... | |
| High end Class D amps? The Starke AD4.320 isn't sold out, is it simply backordered until the end of December. https://shop.starkesound.com/products/starke-sound-ad4-amplifier Pricing is still $839 shipped. I hooked the AD4.320 up to my Moabs today and liked it better... | |
| High end Class D amps? Based on boomerbillone's comments on the Starke AD4.320 in this thread, and the very aggressive Black Friday pricing of $839, I bought the amplifier and it was delivered Wednesday. I let the Starke AD4.320's burn in for about 20 hours and spent... | |
| Where are the cheap home streamers? I think I must not understand what people mean by streamers since I would have thought a high quality bluetooth receiver like this one meets almost all of the needs for wirelessly transmitting music to a system:http://szaudiotech.com/product/blt-h... | |
| Pondering a change after 30 odd years... I heard a pair of Spatial Audio X5's today which had all the clarity and transparency of the Maggie 1.7's and then some. Great sounding speaker and definitely something to consider coming from the Acoustat's. The owner preferred the X5 to the Ma... | |
| How do you know what you're missing? I think you are asking a very valid question. After not caring much about music for the past 40 years I’ve jumped into the whole audiophile thing with both feet. I’ve been buying and trying a variety of used equipment. So far I have 3 speakers, 4 ... | |
| Maggies to Tekton? I have the Maggie 1.7's in a large room. Unclear if I have really optimized their placement. Often I am enthralled by the soundstage and precision/definition I hear but other recordings just don't seem to be that engaging which may be the lack o... | |
| laid back stereo power amp You didn't mention your budget but I bought the Crown XLS 1502 to drive my Maggie 1.7's with and I liked it so much I sent it back and upgraded to the XLS 2502. Great full warm sound and definitely not harsh. It is very satisfying to listen to. ... | |
| How much space between cables is enough? If I thought I could hear the difference, I might be willing to spend the hundreds to thousands of dollars on the fancy vibration isolation gizmos but I'm pretty sure I wouldn't. I will say that putting those E.V.A. Anti-Vibration Pad's under m... |
