| SVS vs REL and experiences with both: your comments and preferences... I bought a very big sub from them 15+ years ago for HT. I think it was the SVS PB12-NSD/2. I live in Ohio so i picked it up. I had it for a few years, it was hard to tune in, because of the two styro foam plugs. The driver developed a problem and... | |
| SVS vs REL and experiences with both: your comments and preferences... Maxboy00, thanks for the response which is appreciated. That's it. It would be the REL. A friend who is the hifi industry also advised that REL is a safer bet than the SVS. Similarly I wrote to REL support but my story was a little different. I ... | |
| SVS vs REL and experiences with both: your comments and preferences... It’s just my opinion, but if I wanted a subwoofer for HT only, I would select SVS over every subwoofer I’ve owned due to price versus performance. If price wasn’t a consideration and it was for HT only, I would purchase JL Audio. For 2-channel on... | |
| SVS vs REL and experiences with both: your comments and preferences... I replaced my JL Audio E-112 (2), with a pair of REL S/510, due integration issues. I was running my speakers full range with the subs working underneath, altho the subs sounded very good on some material I just could not eliminate some bass boom... | |
| Honest Experience on Effects of Subwoofer Please I appreciate all the useful advice and opinions. I’ll just keep this short and avoid being long-winded. I have been reading a lot. I understand all subs SVS, REL, Rythmik, Arendal etc. have their own pros and cons and fans, and it’s all good. It ... | |
| Lose weight or buy better fitting pants You would design the speakers to fit the room, instead of fixing the room. It’s another way of saying get the appropriate speakers to fit the size of the room, which I agree. Generally, small speakers for small rooms, large speakers for larg... | |
| Luxman 550AXii and 509X The SQ-N150 looks wonderful with high build quality, just like the other Luxman units. Good to know it is capable of driving inefficient speakers. Perhaps in small rooms it wouldn’t be too much of an issue. I believe most owners use high efficienc... | |
| Luxman 550AXii and 509X Man9, I am aware that the 550AXII is compared to the 509X. I am bringing in the 590AXII to the mix to suggest that the 550AXII is likely more powerful than the official rated output of 20W since it is a Class A just like the 590AXII. I have the 59... | |
| ATC SCM 7 V.3 and Auronthas, that is good to know. The ATCs are great speakers. There are few owners who use top-flight Naim amps with the speakers particularly SCM19. The Accuphase E280 and SCM11 look like an interesting combination. Enjoy~ | |
| Luxman 550AXii and 509X The numbers for Class A Luxman are conservative. For the L-590AXII rated at 30W(8 ohms) / 60W(4 ohms), the real output on test bench was revealed to be 95W(8 ohms) / 165W(4 ohms). The numbers between the 550AXII and 590AXII won’t vary much. Link ... | |
| Honest Experience on Effects of Subwoofer Please Thanks for the post. I have found my endgame speakers which happen to be standmounts. All the gear can be considered as endgame without any planned upgrades in the foreseeable future, except the subwoofer which is considered to be outclassed by th... | |
| ATC SCM 7 V.3 and I hope SCM7 will sound good at low level listening in view of small room and not to disturb neighbourhood. I am not sure about this. I’ve read many posts saying the ATCs don’t do low volume as good as the Harbeth. They need to be played at m... | |
| Single REL T/9x vs S/510 in Small Room Thanks for the post. 15 x 19 is quite large. Hence it is not a surprise that 3 subs work better than 1. Yes, the S510 costs considerably more than the T9x. Just unsure if there will be a noticeable difference if doing a one to one swap ie. from th... | |
| An upgrade ? From Sonus Faber to Harberh speaker Typically older Sonus Faber of that era were a bit warm and less detailed. Yes, correct. I have read great things about the new or current Sonus Faber but the higher-end models are rather costly in comparison to the Harbeth. Great sound, beau... | |
| An upgrade ? From Sonus Faber to Harberh speaker I am not familiar with Sonus Faber Concertino Domus but switched from the Sonus Faber Grand Piano Concerto to a Harbeth many years ago. i don’t have experience with the C7ES2 but have listened to the C7ES3. I don’t know how the C7ES2 compare to th... |
