Any 2wq owners out there who know of a flat or thin speaker wire I can use instead of the original cable that came with the sub? I need to run it under a rug and need about 14 feet.
Subwoofer for classical music listener
This is my second post on the subject of subwoofers.
My first post wasn't specific enough.
I listen to classical music 90% of the time.
Are there any classical music listeners out there who have subwoofers?
if there are, could you let me know what you have?
i don't imagine I would need quite as powerful or expensive a sub as those who mainly listen to other types of music, but I may be wrong.

@4hannons , If you do run cable under a rug, route it such that it will not be trod upon. Walking on cable can wear down the insulation on the cable and give you other problems. As far as a cable, I believe Almarg recommended this for me a while ago: http://www.cs1.net/products/cable_solutions/O2X-Series_12awg_speaker_cables.htm#purchase I use it for my 2w subs Bob |
Rvpiano, glad I was helpful. Unfortunately I didn't read the thread in time to recommend against the purchase in the first place, given your mention of the NuForce amps. 4hannons and Bob (Gdnrbob), yes I had recommended that cable, while also pointing out that given the very high input impedance of the 2wq (described as being more than 100,000 ohms) it is overkill in terms of gauge. Given the very high input impedance the thinness of the gauge that could be used would only be limited by the physical fragility of the wire and its connections. "Speaker wire" in the traditional sense of a heavy gauge is not necessary from an electrical standpoint. Regards, -- Al |
Personally I like RELs. I have listened to Storm IIIs, G2s (2500 - 3000 used), and Studios ($3500-4500 used). I prefer the older generation ported downward firing woofers (such as the Storm and Studio) because their sound is more nuanced, effectively allowing mid-range sound to come to the fore. Too often, the subwoofers that I have used, although fast and precise, have been overpowering. I felt like I was spending as much time tuning the subs to my room as enjoying good listening. Good luck in your search, and do post about your experience. |
