| Adding sub to Sonus Faver Guarneri Evolutions...need advice where to set crossover on sub Thanks guys. I am going to have to read up and get a better understanding of phase and how to test for correct phasing. | |
| Subwoofer Bass blossoms all around, it submerges you, yet not to overwhelm. In turn it highlights contrasting frequencies. That I believe is what gives a greater sense of depth and realism to the sound stage. Thank you for this. This is probably the be... | |
| Adding sub to Sonus Faver Guarneri Evolutions...need advice where to set crossover on sub Thank you for the reply miner42. I am not sure what the -6db freq is for the Auditor Ms but at least for my speakers that seems like a decent place to start. I've got my test tones and SPL meter ready so I can see what kind of freq response I ca... | |
| Subwoofer So while adding a single subwoofer will offer the benefit of improved bass extension, adding multiple smaller subs and spreading them around intelligently will additionally result in smoother bass throughout the room. Duke, does your opinion ch... | |
| My 50W, 8ohm amp can't drive my 86db, 4ohm speakers? WTF?? I wonder if turning on and off my amp daily had a part in this. I think I will consider leaving it on all time, though I really dislike that thought since I only listen to my system 1-2 hours a night. | |
| What voltage to run my gear...110V or 120V or something in between? Yeah you are probably right. I wonder if the fact that I turn on and off my audio gear on a daily basis may have played a role too? | |
| My 50W, 8ohm amp can't drive my 86db, 4ohm speakers? WTF?? Thank you @bombaywalla for the detailed response. I really appreciate it. My amp is about 5 years old so I am surprised this happened. I have asked the technician for a more detailed response on exactly what the issue was and what the thinks cau... | |
| My 50W, 8ohm amp can't drive my 86db, 4ohm speakers? WTF?? Looks like my Accustic Arts integrated amp is repaired. The parts that failed were: 1) $83.99 - 15V Regulators2) $49.60 - Rectifier Total bill with labor came out to around $500. Ouch! However, its a lot less than buying a new integrated amp.... | |
| Subwoofer tboooe,I swear to you adding subs has "opened things up and expanded the soundstage." I don't know why, but it's easy to hear.What has been difficult is blending them perfectly! I sure hope so! I am going to pull the trigger on a REL T-5i sub. ... | |
| My 50W, 8ohm amp can't drive my 86db, 4ohm speakers? WTF?? Ha ha ha. My ears are equally offended! I hope to have my amp back in 2 weeks. In the meantime I will occupy myself by buying a sub and more room treatments. The audiophile spending machine waits for no one (or amp)! | |
| Subwoofer Very timely thread! I am thinking about adding a sub to my Sonus Faber Guarneri Evolution monitors. These have a -6db response at around 43hz and starts to roll off at 72hz. My room is small (10x11, though the back wall is only 3' high and open... | |
| Back wall treatment? Yes, the wall is 37" tall, so just slightly below my ear height. Above that, it opens up to my family room and kitchen. I will mess around with some absorption at the room mode freq of 60. | |
| Back wall treatment? Thanks guys. I agree about being too close to the back wall to take advantage of diffusion. As for the room modes not being much of an issue due to the height of the wall. I am not sure I understand. The back wall is right about at ear level so... | |
| Back wall treatment? Thank you for the reply. I understand the concept of reflected sound and the amount of delay having an impact on whether or not the brain rejects the reflection so what you said makes sense. What about room modes though? Since I am against the ba... | |
| Amplifier repair/mod/upgrade in Orange County California? Thank you Steakster. I contacted Vintage Audio. They are right up the highway from me so if he is the real deal it is the ideal solution. Thank you again! |
