| Do you think you need a subwoofer? After adding a second sub to my system, there was smoother bass response. Again, this isn't about louder or stronger bass, in fact, I was seeking lower, smoother bass. Ironic that the path to this goal was accomplished by adding a sub! My girlfrie... | |
| recommend entry-level high-efficiency loudspeakers There are many products from Klipsch that meet your HE and economic criteria: Heresy, Forte, Cornwell. Easily available and easy to resell. | |
| Do you think you need a subwoofer? Raul- On every single commercial sub set-up I have seen, the subwoofer is set up behind the satellite speakers, usually but not always in the corner. Every single white paper about LF acoustics describes a phase delay at these frequencuies.So it s... | |
| Do you think you need a subwoofer? Tonight my next door neighbor very generously agreed to loan me his sub for a couple of days, so that I can experiment with stereo subs. His sub has almost nothing in common with my horn-loaded sub, so the test isn't perfect, but it will do for my... | |
| Do you think you need a subwoofer? Doug, a small cap can be installed at the input to your amp as a high-pass first order filter. This is how Raul is high-passing his main speakers. In theory, the benefit is bypassing the sub high-pass filter with the more phase correct first-order... | |
| RTA recommendation Thanks for your suggestions.Eldartford - This is the unit I was considering when I posted the question. It sounds like an accessable way to get started.Robdoorack - I checked out the ETF site and AA. This sounds really interesting. I especially li... | |
| Do you think you need a subwoofer? As a single-sub user for all of a couple of months, I am considering a second sub. My reasons have to do with smooth and even bass performance, NOT more bass. My single sub is in the front left corner. There is plenty of bass energy, and I have th... | |
| How do inductors help impedence matching? Thanks for many informative responses.Gs5556 - the inductor is in series, used as a low-pass filter and "impedence matching" component.Ed_sawyer - have read many of your posts here and at AA, and found some of them imformative. In this instance, y... | |
| How do inductors help impedence matching? OK, continuing the automobile transmission analogy, the load presented by the speaker to the amp would be like the steepness of the hill, correct? The steeper the hill (more difficult speaker load, or lower impedence), the more current needed to g... | |
| How do inductors help impedence matching? Eldatford - if I understand properly, a cap can be seen to decrease impedence as freq increases, while a coil can be seen to increase impedence as freqs go lower. The resulting overall impedence curve vs. freq is flatter than it would be without t... | |
| Do you think you need a subwoofer? Darkmoebius - Like you, I am on the steep part of the learning curve. Here is an article about sub integration I found interesting:Getting the bass rightUnlike Terry, the author advocates many reasons for corner placement of subs, to cancel nodes.... | |
| Do you think you need a subwoofer? Raul - ***Btw, I choose ( too ) 1st order filter for the high-pass on my system. This high-pass filter is inside of my 20.6s. It work for me.***I will first try placing caps before my amp inputs, for easy changes. I like the idea of permanently lo... | |
| Ortofon mono cartridges ok, thank you. will return to Germany, to exchange for a GM25. Best,Scott | |
| Ortofon mono cartridges I was afraid of that. I just obtained an SPU GM/65, believing it was a 25um version when ordering. So, basically, the 65 is the wrong tool for the job.... Thanks for your input, Eldatford.bty, will using the 65um stylus damage my 33rpm LPs? | |
| Do you think you need a subwoofer? Darkmobius - We should start a support group together! My setup originally had the preamp outputs feeding SET amps, and running full range to the satellite speakers. The sub signal was summed mono, with a 4th order low-pass filter. I heard the sat... |
