| I'm curious. What is your "normal" listening volume? The last time I measured I was hitting peaks at 119 dbc at slightly under 9' away. Most of my records are not excessively compressed so I will guess that the average continuous level is closer to 110 to 112 dbc. | |
| Channel D Seta L vs. BMC MCCI Signature ULN transimpedance phono preamps @hiendmmoe I appreciate the heads-up. | |
| Channel D Seta L vs. BMC MCCI Signature ULN transimpedance phono preamps @hiendmmoe I appreciate the offer, but I believe I have one on the way. If you don't mind me asking, why are you thinking of selling yours? Thanks | |
| Svs sb17-ultra for music Personally I would avoid any subwoofer that uses a passive radiator. Based on that reason alone I would choose the SVS. I agree with Big Greg that a subwoofer is going to excite the nodes/standing waves of your room, so you might want to have a pl... | |
| Subs? Welcome to the dark side. The answer to your question is, it depends on what your goals are, what you listen to and how loud you listen. If you prefer aggressive bass driven music, like blues, rock, EDM, and even modern country, specially at highe... | |
| My Sonus Faber Amatis have weak bass even though I'm running ML 536s--800 w/ch into 4 ohms The first thing I would check is to make sure they are not wired out of phase and it could be possible they are wired out of phase internally. | |
| ??? Anyone Running Active Speakers Driven By A Tube PreAmp ??? Not sure if this will be of any help but I have a 4-way system, 3-way active. Mids are passively crossover to the highs. I use a tubed pre-amp. If the active electronics alters the characteristics of the tubes , it is inaudible to me. I do get far... | |
| Does You Subwoofer Settings ?? Do most find that subwoofer settings are not perfect for every song you play ?? Yes Last year went to a SVS SB16 Sub and 95 percent of songs it sounds beautiful. But other songs has boomy sound Boomy bass is a room acoustics issue. Your roo... | |
| Desktop Mixer? Hi Erik, Here is a video that may help. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zQhmg-1kFvg | |
| Dual Sub-woofers paired into two sets of speakers - connection option. Here is an excerpt from Barry Obers white papers on sub integration on stereo bass (subs). STEREO BASS? Oh, and to touch upon "stereo bass" for a moment... there almost is no such thing. Going back to vinyl, every stereo vinyl record cut in the... | |
| What actually determines volume power? Is it watts? dman77 For every 3 db SPL increase in output volume requires a doubling of the amplifier watts being used. So if your speaker sensitivity is 88 db, which means that it takes 1 watt of amplifier power to drive that speaker output to 88 db at 1K Hz... | |
| Thoughts on Speakers for a Small Audio/Video Room I am not very knowledgeable about acoustics, but my understanding is that nodes, aka standing waves occur between parallel surfaces, i.e. front and back walls, left and right side walls and floor to ceiling. The distance between the surfaces dicta... | |
| How many subs? You might want to start by reading this. https://www.acousticsciences.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/Soundoctor-Barry-Ober-sub-integration.pdf My guess is that your acoustic engineer was adding delay to your subs so they would be in phase at the ... | |
| Thoughts on Speakers for a Small Audio/Video Room Hi Capt. I do electronically tune my system to the room. I chose that path, rather than tuning the room to the system for primarily economic reasons. I felt that for an approximate $450.00 investment I could get 80% to 90% to where I wanted the r... | |
| Thoughts on Speakers for a Small Audio/Video Room Hi Captouch, Are you using any type of isolation under your turntable? If not, I use the Townshend Seismic Vibration Isolation platform, and it works quite well. https://www.townshendaudio.com/hi-fi-home-cinema-equipment-vibration-isolation/hi-... |
