Help finding a subwoofer
I want a subwoofer that meets the following criteria.
1. 12 inch driver max size. Or 8 inch driver plus passive driver. Or 10 inches driver.
2. Android or IPhone or iPad app to change settings anytime I want.
3. Speaker high level inputs.
Please if you know any let me know.
System is for music primarily movies completely secondary. I really have two systems that can use the sub(s). Main drivers do not go low. On set is Cain and Cain single Ben with Fostex 8 inch driver. the other Martin Logan Motion 15, these are nice small speakers that Are not expensive.
Thanks for your contributions
See ieLogical SubterraneanHomesickBlues You should use line level input, roll the bottom from the mains. This will increase level available from the mains and make integration easier. Martin Logan Dynamo also have Anthem Room Correction with optional mic. Many subs == even, NOT Accurate, low end. Two subs near the mains provide the most convincing soundstage

@ieales Hi I do get the line level and rolling off the main speakers. This can ease up the main amplifier and not stress the woofers of the main speakers. I did this with my bookshelf speakers. But IMOH I feel large 'full range' speakers sound better run at full spectrum with dialed in subs, using the high level inputs (aka REL). And totally agree two is much better than one for eliminating (or minimizing) room nodes. |
'Full Range' speakers seldom are. My current speakers are 25Hz ±4dB in a typical room. Main woofer amps are 200w monoblock. Adding a 40Hz first order Butterworth effectively doubles the woofer 'music' power and transient response is much better. Room & sub integration is much easier. Pop music doesn't benefit much, but massive orchestra or pipe organ is a quantum leap better. |
plus 1 @blisshifi on the SVS subwoofers. I have the SB2000 Pro and the app really made setup a breeze. Also the sales and service people there are great. |
