| Powered speakers show audiophiles are confused @kota1 I need your help. I have 2x JL Audio Fathom f113v2 Subs and they hum, this is the worst thing about powered speakers. They have 3000W amps, I have spent a fortune in power 2x P20 power regenerators from PS Audio. The subs hum doesn't change... | |
| Powered speakers show audiophiles are confused @kota1 phasing sub and full range speakers is not difficult, just put you head exactly between the sub and the speakers, play and 80hz tone with all your equipment on and slowly turn the phase knob until you hear the null point and the strongest p... | |
| Powered speakers show audiophiles are confused Also, about diminishing returns when it comes to low frequency. The best system I ever heard was at Harmon headquarters in LA when I was doing playback for a music video and the location person who was an employee of Harmon showed me there big con... | |
| Powered speakers show audiophiles are confused I fully agree with @mijostyn. I used to work for a church doing sound that had the biggest electronic organ in the world. There were 4x 30 inch subs in separate cabinets on both the left and right sides of the main sanctuary the cabinets were not... | |
| Powered speakers show audiophiles are confused @mijostyn Very good points, especially about the AES inputs, I'll look into that. So I finally got everything working with my Genelec (analog speaker inputs) system and I was very happy even though the speakers have not been time aligned, I was p... | |
| Powered speakers show audiophiles are confused @kota1 Wow, I think you will be so happy with the Sony, Sony like Yamaha and other big companies can make very good equipment if they want to it's only a matter of approving the budget. Yamaha makes some of the best professional mixers ever. Why d... | |
| Powered speakers show audiophiles are confused @thespeakerdude When I started in sound we got to use a new technology called TEF (Time Energy Frequency) an acoustic computer made by Crown. It would show the acoustic reflections on the screen, we found that unless the speaker was next to a wall... | |
| Powered speakers show audiophiles are confused @rick2000 Dynaudio is really on to something, I listened to a set of them and instantly it sounded warm and happy, to me speaker evaluation takes about 5 seconds or in a system between components and speakers about 1 second, just after the first n... | |
| Powered speakers show audiophiles are confused @thespeakerdude I wanted to ask you about WMTMW it seems to not make sense but as you mentioned there are many great speakers that use this. Seems like the low and mid frequencies would interact a few feet out. no one would ever use a microphone s... | |
| Powered speakers show audiophiles are confused @mijostyn Seems like you have so many different digital systems don’t your worry about simple latency? | |
| Powered speakers show audiophiles are confused @mijostyn I didn’t buy that Sub because of exactly the reasons you said. These are the subs I got they are still a bit odd looking. That speaker is not a sub it is a woofer. 50 to 500hz | |
| Powered speakers show audiophiles are confused @thespeakerdude Very well said, my center speaker is horizontal not vertical but it doesn’t matter because the speakers are point source the way things are in real life. Speaker imaging is more important than I thought, I thought it was phasing es... | |
| Powered speakers show audiophiles are confused @kota1 Also I wanted to send you this about the new Genelec speakers, I was not a fan of Genelec for 30 years I thought they were very harsh and poor low end. these new speakers are totally rethought. They make some amazing claims like "The new fl... | |
| Powered speakers show audiophiles are confused @kota1 I have been searching for scripts but haven't found one that is just right, also I lost a ton of money in the market last year so my big movie planes are paused for now. I'll get it back and get things going again soon enough, I hope all my... | |
| Powered speakers show audiophiles are confused @kota1 Oh man Avid tech support was very professional, kind, understanding, and they didn't have any experience with my system. I bought Pro Tools Ultimate, a MTRX Studio, an HDX system and an S4 Control surface. Everything is networked and my hou... |
