Best sub for music,
How important is the amplifier in a system of subs?Almost any solid state amp made in the last 30-40 years has enough feedback to play the bass right (that's why solid state has always been known for good bass - good mids and highs? -that's another story...). Avoid any solid state amp that does not have a direct coupled output and you should be fine as long as it has enough power. |
This article http://www.soundoctor.com/whitepapers/break-in.htm is a little bombastic but overall there is not much I can argue with. It is a good article for millercarbon to read. He won't like it but, he should read it anyway. He does not start talking about digital signal processing till the end of the article even though he is obviously a fan. It seems he thinks this is above most of us. |
@jheppe815, Hi, I run the JBL B460's with a Crown studio reference 1 amp which runs on a dedicated 240 volt 30 amp circuit. IMHO: The Crown studio reference 1 amp is the best sounding amp Crown makes. All the power you will ever need in a home hi fi rig. Also the B460's have an efficiency of 2.6%, same efficiency as my main speakers. The subs and the mains have a sensitivity of 96 dB @ 1 watt two meters, so they are a good match. I run the main speakers with a pair of Quicksilver silver 60 mono block tube amps. The system sounds effortless. https://technicalaudio.com/pdf/Crown_International/Crown_Studio_Reference_Series_Manual.pdf |
