| Subwoofer for classical music listener I called SVS an they assured me the SB-2000 has the same line level input (47K) as the 1000, so I ordered it.Thanks everyone for your help (especially Al) in choosing a subwoofer.I hope this one works out.Richard | |
| Subwoofer for classical music listener Al: I notice the SVS-SB 2000 is only $200 more. My room is about 575sq ft.the 1000 is recommended for small to medium sized rooms. The 2000 is ported.Is the 2000 a match for my amp as well as the 1000?Sorry to keep bothering you! | |
| Subwoofer for classical music listener Al: Thank you for the time and effort you've put into this.I notice the SVS-SB1000 sells for about $500.Can the quality at this price level be any good?Or should I look further? | |
| Subwoofer for classical music listener Al: Thanks again for your help.The preamp is a vintage CJ P11 tube model.i don't really know what modifications were done except that I sent it out not working and it came back sounding better than ever. I don't know what they did, if anything, t... | |
| Subwoofer for classical music listener I've found out the hard way that I'm extremely limited in what kind of subwoofer I can match to my NuForce class D monoblock amps. If you've followed this thread you've read that the Vandersteen sub I bought was incompatible with my amps and coul... | |
| Subwoofer for classical music listener Al: you are a lifesaver!!i just spoke with the NuForce technician and he confirmed what you said.I can't use the Vandersteen with my amps.Thank the heavens I didn't blow the amps. They seem to be working fine.Again thanks a million!!! | |
| Subwoofer for classical music listener Al: Thank you so much for your input.Before I obtained the sub I spoke to the NuForce technician who modified the amps and told him I was adding a subwoofer. He didn't raise any objections.Hopefully he knew of the problem. I'll call him todayI... | |
| Subwoofer for classical music listener After much difficulty I finally got to set up my used 2Wq sub only to find that the left channel doesn't work. I followed the directions in the manual exactly in setting up the wx-2 variable crossover, matching it to my amp. I checked all the conn... | |
| Subwoofer for classical music listener Gdnrbob: Thank you so much for your post and your offer!I only just emailed the question of whether I can run the signal without a crossover to Vandersteen. The 2Wq's are coming with crossovers of 200 k.my amplifier's impedance is only 22k.Can yo... | |
| Subwoofer for classical music listener Audioconnection: Thanks for your encouragement.I've already looked at the manual online. It mentions a wx-2 variable crossover that's included with the sub. The seller says he doesn't have that variable crossover. He ordered a designated cro... | |
| Subwoofer for classical music listener Yes! Thanks to your recommendation and one other that was glowing, and a price I couldn't refuse, I bought a used one on Audiogon.The only problem now is to find a crossover that matches the impedance of my amplifier. I suppose I can use the sub ... | |
| Subwoofer for classical music listener "So-called" classical music is not an elitist term. Admittedly it is a vague genre. But it usually, but not always, indicates acoustic music. There is electronic (synthesizer) classical music and jazz-oriented classical music using electrified in... | |
| Subwoofer for classical music listener Akg-ca. Wow! What a comprehensive post!Is there any reason not to go with the Vandersteen 2Wq!?Anyone else have an opinion? | |
| Subwoofer for classical music listener Does anyone have an opinion of the REL S/2 sub? | |
| Subwoofer for classical music listener Thanks for the responses.I have a 25'x23' foot room, a much modified vintage system with great impact which, to me, is perfectly balanced for classical except for ultra low bass (e.g. organ). System:Modified Dalquist DQ 20 speakers, modified Nufo... |
