@mijostynWhere I have a small listening space, I have found that the small sub I have right now centered in front of my amp-stand sounds pretty seam-less with my stereo speakers. I do want to send the full-range speakers just the upper-bass and up, which I'll experiment with in the near future... Thanks again for your help on this ! |
@highend64I have similar controls for my subwoofer and I've found that my single sub in my small listening space it seems good. I'm not sure at this point I need a second sub. Thanks ! |
I also have a small listening room. I have my sub is also in between my speakers but I have it slightly off center. This give me the the best of both worlds with seamless and tight bass. My Vandersteen 2ci has the adequate bass for the room but I want to be able to reproduce better subbass frequency that I am able to control. |
Different strokes, I guess. Since every record is mastered differently, it follows that every record needs a different equalization. The recording engineer gets to choose his EQ - I think that I should get to choose mine. I built my phono / pre-amp to have auxiliary and sub settings proportional to the main volume control. The pre is right behind my chair. Two auxiliary bass panels and one isobaric sub, crossed over at 200 Hz and 50 Hz respectively, are powered by Bryston amps, yielding a room with fairly uniform bass. (gotta love 350 clean wpc into 8 ohms, especially with 4 ohm speakers, and Bryston pushing current) With adjustable EQ. My test records just have to lump it. |
Just a question for sub users without app control and using low level input. Once the crossover, slope, phase, eq etc are set, can a passive preamp with remote be used to adjust the volume? Of course you set the volume a bit higher than what you want on the sub so you can have room on the passive preamp for adding or lowering volume on the sub when needed. This would be placed between the sub and one of the preouts, two for stereo of the int amp or main preamp. |
