Please. Don't take what I said the wrong way. I have talked to Mr. V. a few times and for the most part, he was very pleasant. We had this very discussion about the 2Wq sub I had just purchased and he got just a bit agitated about how I was going about integrating his sub with my amp. He asked me if I had read the owner's manual and I said YES. Twice! All turned out well after that.
Vandersteen 2Wq subwoofers with M5-HP crossovers - help needed
I have been happily using a pair of Vandy 2Wq subs with single-ended M5-HP crossovers for a few years now. My system was dialed in the way I like it (bass a bit on the full side, but still tight and defined). I just had my amplifier repaired and upgraded, and the new input impedance is 22k ohms vs. the 10k ohms before the upgrade. I followed the Vandersteen recommendation for the jumper settings in the M5-HP (6 and 7 only, "on" or not open), and the bass is just about MIA altogether. As per the Vandy web site, I disregarded the chart on the case of the M5-HP and followed the chart on the web site. Because I am an idiot, I didn’t bother to mark down the settings of the jumpers prior to changing them. Anybody have any suggestions for me that will restore the bass? I am pretty sure the issue is the jumper settings. Thanks in advance!
