| XP-10 verses RLD-1 2012 Platinum Edition Yep, but I ran out of MONEY. Remember, this is C4's on a budget. I'm really impressed where these speakers are with the electronics I have right now. Some say that the XP-10 is more lean with balanced than single ended. Don't know. What I do know,... | |
| XP-10 verses RLD-1 2012 Platinum Edition Oh how right you are! The XP-10 has me spoiled since it is much better than I thought it was, and so are the C4's! Once you shoot a gun, a knife just won't do anymore. The XP-10 and C4's get sounds (human voices) to be almost "real", which is a fe... | |
| XP-10 verses RLD-1 2012 Platinum Edition Many others point out that the XP-10 can be thin at times, so it isn't just to my ears. More so with the balanced outs verses RCA's. My stereo DD10+ subs really help the XP-10 bass where the it was way too shy previously running the C4's full rang... | |
| Review: SMc Audio RLD-1 2012 Platinum Edition Preamplifier I'm working with SMc Audio to see if we can tweak the openess some. On complex passages it can be too smooth if that makes sense. Yes, I'm asking a lot for the price, but it seems like a bottleneck is somewhere that can really make an improvement.... | |
| XP-10 verses RLD-1 2012 Platinum Edition Oh yes, the XP-10 is consistently thinner sounding than other pre-amps with ALL sources. I think you description is right,though, that the haromonics off of the main fundamental is where the XP-10 may be weak when it comes to proper blending. Pian... | |
| XP-10 verses RLD-1 2012 Platinum Edition The XP-10 isn’t perfect, like I said. But yes it is hard to characterize the sound. I agree that the extreme detail can be almost too much, but my ear is happier there than too smoothed over where dynamics and individual expressions of each sound ... | |
| Review: Velodyne DD10+ Subwoofer I'll tell you what, the addition of the stereo subs was a great change to my system, but also one of the hardest I've ever tackled! Bass is probably the most elusive target in audio. But, the more I listen to the DD10+ set-up, the better it is wit... | |
| Dynaudio C2 II Signature VS. Revel Ultima Studio 2 I agree with the C1 + sub route, or one like it. My C4's are in a 16' wide x 40' long x 9' high room (big volume) and they sound very good except I would give them a "pretty" good down low. The bass response is uneven from 30-60 Hz (big dip) that ... | |
| High quality subwoofer - which one? First, Vandersteen INCLUDES all those "nasty" EQ settings on the Quatro, 5A and model 7 (not much is better than product). Done right they are excellent. Two, a subs response is the ROOM it is in on. Yes, the floor standers are positioned for best... | |
| setting up vandersteen 5a Be real careful, the eleven bands are centered at each warble tone, so wandering around looking for peaks and valleys not centered on the center point of a filter is asking for trouble. You aren NOT trying to make the room 100% flat, but to dampen... | |
| High quality subwoofer - which one? Halcro,Yes! That's exactly why I want to go stereo. Remember that the article was done in 2000, and Digital Room Correction was not really available at all. So the room was really making a Vandersteen subs a variety of different products in each r... | |
| High quality subwoofer - which one? Yes, I'm still not fully appreciative of a single sub. The L+R summed info can cancel detail a stereo option won't. The real direction the market has headed is just the home theater LFE channel option, which is a dedicated summed source, and was n... | |
| High quality subwoofer - which one? More info;I talked with Paradigm about their SUB1 at length and, a friend who is a overseas representative. So, there is "some" bias, true.But, the SUB 1 has some very good points about it.1.0 Three directional driver groups melt to a location smo... | |
| High quality subwoofer - which one? New info so far;REL and Vandersteen use a similar approach, but they BOTH lack any sort of in-room EQ, that is critical to performance. Great HP system and signal integration system on the Vandersteen, though.-Vandersteen Quatro series speaker on ... | |
| High quality subwoofer - which one? I love to hear that the high-pass isn't needed but...If I use the C4's full range and use the digital room processor function on the sub, WHAT pray tell smooths out the C4's room bass response? It seems like the mish-mash of the C4's and the sub w... |
