| MartinLogan Subwoofers- Don't Overlook Them! @millercarbon of course two subwoofers in a room do offer advantages but the design and spec of the subwoofer is critical. At this point having two subwoofers has negated the issues I had using a single sub and until I find something to compla... | |
| Pondering a Speaker Upgrade your speakers are nice but not very natural sounding. the B&W 805 d3 can sound very natural but as you said on the small side and also have a peak in the bass response that causes them to emphasize a certain bass note frequency frequently. I ... | |
| Thoughts on extending speaker life. I would not hesitate to use armor all if i thought the surrounds needed it. i have some original polk monitors that are over 30 years old and show no signs of deterioration- but they are rubber surrounds and the grilles have always been in place.... | |
| Speaker Break In...? Or listener “Break In”? this should not be a question for anyone who has ever purchased new speakers and paid attention to them. | |
| Anyone know how to set up Rythmik subwoofers on an ARCAM AVE550 receiver? I have been looking at the F12 G (the G has the paper cone material). The lighter weight material supposedly makes the texture of the bass more lifelike and dynamic for music with a very fast response and decay. Regardless these seem to be speci... | |
| Where are the subs? I bet you are running a hefty power amplifier! People might be surprised what their main speakers are capable of given the right power from a quality amplifier. In my previous system running very good dual 6-1/2" woofer ported tower speakers an... | |
| Wharfedale Linton Heritage 85th Anniversary They aren't even close and it might not be about quality- it's about voicing. They are voiced differently and I prefer the Harbeth sound by a mile. | |
| Amp for Harbeth P3ESR and Cambridge Audio Azur 851N I had the Harbeth C7ES3 with a Rogue Cronus Magnum II and the combination was excellent. The CM II should work well with the P3s. The Sphinx should also sound very good but not close to the sound quality of the CM II. | |
| My experience adding subwoofers to 2 channel My experiences tuning subwoofers with main speakers is that the phase timing is critically important at crossover blend region where the subwoofers and main speakers transition between each other. An 80Hz wavelength is ~ 14 feet long and is small ... | |
| Thoughts about Jadis and Harbeth The Harbeth C7s are made for tube amplification. Easy to drive (6ohm minimum impedance) and the drivers are so well integrated and coherent that the sound stage becomes enormous when using a tube amplifier. I used a Rogue Cronus Magnum II with the... | |
| Spendor D9 vs. PSB T3 speakers. GEs produce incredible bass because of the built in powered woofers but fall short in midrange tone, timbre and transparency. They are also highly directional with limited sweet spot. Can be "flat" sounding with jazz and horns. The PSBs are bas... | |
| is the Tannoy Xt 8f a warm speaker?? the bass is overwhelming and boomy. the upper midrange is edgy. asking too much from an 8" driver to hand off to a dome tweeter. the xt6f sounds worlds better. | |
| My experience adding subwoofers to 2 channel Tim,Thanks. I'm going to start a thread on this topic. | |
| My experience adding subwoofers to 2 channel I recently purchased some transmission line (like) ported towers and was unable to successfully integrate my single sub- so I sold it. I have had no problems in the past with typical ported monitor speakers- and am quite good at integration using... | |
| Wharfedale Linton Heritage 85th Anniversary @buddy1234what kind of sound are you after ? I have heard a number of those speakers and of those i like the Bryston. however i personally would save or look for harbeth p3esr. |
