| 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-... | |
| Which subwoofer should I get? Hey Matt, I would be careful pairing a REL with your A5’s, Most if not all REL subs incorporate a passive radiator in their designs. The passive radiator dramatically increases the decay and sustain portion of a note or beat. (The four stages of ... | |
| Which sounds better 2 way or 3 way speaker design Am I correct to assume that a 3 way design will give the listener a much better chance to hear the full audio spectrum as opposed to a 2 way design? Depends on what you mean when you say, full audio spectrum. If full audio spectrum to you mean... | |
| Channel D Lino C vs. Sutherland Little Loco @lewm I appreciate the response. On the Channel D website they have photos of the Seta L transimpedance/voltage mode phono preamp circuit boards and a list of the shown circuits, and one of the circuits listed is a DC servo circuit, which I am ... | |
| Channel D Lino C vs. Sutherland Little Loco I have become very interested in the Lino C phono pre after reading through this thread. I see from the Lino website that they do not incorporate DC blocking caps in their designs. Is that standard practice for phono pre's not to use blocking caps... | |
| Are crown xls 1/4 input and output jack balanced? You would have to contact Crown tech support to get the definitive answer, but since the 1/4" connector appears to be connected to the XLR connector I would think that the 1/4" connector would have to be balanced. Otherwise I believe that you coul... | |
| System assessment... I believe your gear is just fine. I would listen to @rbstehno and take a serious look at room treatments, either acoustic or electronic, or a combination of both. May not be as sexy as some new gear but I think you would be very pleased with the r... | |
| A speaker stand with room for an amp? I just finished building a couple of prototype speaker stands back in the middle of June, where the speakers sit on the top shelf and the amplifier on a lower shelf. The amps are not hidden (not a requirement for me) nor is the angle of the speake... | |
| Diving into balanced I’m making the jump to separates and as such am thinking that balanced is the way to go. When I got into separates the amp and preamp I decided to go with were balanced. I didn’t think much of it at the time and ran everything unbalanced for ab... | |
| The Horror @audiodidact I couldn’t disagree with your premise more. You don’t mention anything about room treatments so I’m guessing that your room has more influence on your sound than your system. Maggies can be rather low bass shy so you may want to con... | |
| Low-pass Setting of SVS SB-3000s subs with LSA Signature 80 speakers It appears that the -6 db down point of the LSA's is 35 Hz. I would start there and adjust upwards until you have enough bass or it starts to sound muddy. I would stick with the 24 db slope unless you have an option for a 48 db slope. The less fre... | |
| REL S510 or S812 With subs, bigger is almost always better than smaller if for no other reason than the cone doesn’t need to travel as far resulting in less distortion. It’s much easier to overload a 10” sub than it is a 12” sub and even if you only need a larger... | |
| What if a high end speaker measures really badly? I have never cared and highly likely I never will care how a speaker measures. For that matter I have never bothered to investigate how well a speaker measures. The only measurement I care about is how does it sound to me. If I can't audition a sp... |
