| Advice on replacing 12 in woofer in Martin Logan Monolith III's @stevepa If you are up for it, Jon Fo's idea for George is not bad either to raise the crossover point, The Good, removing the mid bass (100 - 300hz) off the panel, cleans up the mids and make for cleaner midrange.... The Bad is that you hav... | |
| Advice on replacing 12 in woofer in Martin Logan Monolith III's Sorry George, Not sure where all of your info comes from, but adding mass in alone does not add distortion... In fact if the mass is a stiffener, depending on cone, it could decrease it. @stevepa Steve, George and I could take you down 2 diffe... | |
| Advice on replacing 12 in woofer in Martin Logan Monolith III's @stevepa Ok, assuming a 1 inch front baffle and 3/4 inch everywhere else, you're looking at 2.469 cubic ft... so if we model on 2 1/2 cubic ft, we'll get accurate results. | |
| Advice on replacing 12 in woofer in Martin Logan Monolith III's @georgehifi Hi George, it sounds like you and I are just mixing terms of what is lightly, medium or overstuffed, but overall are on the same page.@stevepa Steve, get the outer dimensions of your woofer box on the back of your monoliths. ... | |
| Advice on replacing 12 in woofer in Martin Logan Monolith III's again, stuffing in itself does not dictate speed. A lightly stuffed box is what a woofer is normally spec'd at, as you add stuffing, a medium stuffed box, does give the woofer the illusion of a larger box by slowing down the flow of air inside t... | |
| Advice on replacing 12 in woofer in Martin Logan Monolith III's Congrats on your subwoofer purchase @stevepa if you would, just go to the back of the box and get the woofer box measurements, we'll get very close on the cubic footage. I'd hate to see you buy the wrong woofer. Overall, I don't like over stu... | |
| Advice on replacing 12 in woofer in Martin Logan Monolith III's just ran curves on the SV12 in 3 cu ft sealed.... It'll be 3db down @ about 31 hz with a qtc of .79 | |
| Advice on replacing 12 in woofer in Martin Logan Monolith III's Just thinking, if you are using electronic crossover and biamping, why do we care about matching sensitivity or impedance? I still think that 83 is too low, you'd have to drive it pretty hard to keep up, but you could certainly use anything fro... | |
| Advice on replacing 12 in woofer in Martin Logan Monolith III's Hi guys, sorry on the Peerless recommendation, I don't know why I missed that it was 83db sensitivity. @stevepa on the Peerless SLS 830669, it will go down to about 50 hz in a sealed box. I would not mind porting the box on the right driver, b... | |
| What are the best speakers for 80's hard rock? Years ago, at SpeakerCraft/Marcof we built a line of speakers that we called Rock Boxes...They were very accurate above 100hz, any audiophile would appreciate them... the woofers were sealed and crossed at 100hz and down, we kept that perfect typ... | |
| Advice on replacing 12 in woofer in Martin Logan Monolith III's again, based on 3 cu ft......ScanSpeak Discovery 30W/4558T This looks good. | |
| Advice on replacing 12 in woofer in Martin Logan Monolith III's @georgehifi @stevepa if it indeed 3 cu ft... this is expensive ($245 each), but ran curves F3 in QB3 alignment is 25hz Peerless 835017If the box is a smaller, there are others that can work for less money. | |
| Counterpoint NP-220 died: Kind of a beast of an amplifier and solid state, but this came to mind when I read your post. With a decent tubed pre, this should be phenomenal. SST Ampzilla 2000 2nd edition.... this is a cut out of a review, but I've heard the amp and have see... | |
| Advice on replacing 12 in woofer in Martin Logan Monolith III's @stevepa If you can get the woofer cabinet dimensions so that we can get cubic ft or liters, I'll take a look around... If I understand the Monolith III correctly, it is 89db sensitivity and the woofer is passive (not powered).... Being 4 ohm, ... | |
| Domes & Ribbons Sharing When you paralleled the ribbon in with the tweeter, you changed the impedance at crossover point. Assuming that the original ribbon was 8 ohm, you now have from somewhere around 8 ohms to 5 ohms. Your crossover point nearly doubled in frequency f... |
