Adding JL Dominion d-108 sub… surprise
Locating and positioning your subwoofer within your rooms, standing wave base mode is the first step in successful integration. Using a method like the subwoofer crawl test is a quick and simple method to locate and mark your rooms modes. Once po... 
Sub woofer naive question day
Despite what they call it “20Hz@94dB 40Hz@100dB” is a dramatic -6B roll off. Does their app allow you to adjust more gain at 20Hz?      
New Klipsch Klipschorn AK7 & La Scala AL6 will be active DSP Crossover
So the active crossover digitizes the input signal?    
Anthem ARC and Subwoofers - A quick review
@erik_squires Hello. I enjoy your efforts on this site. My experience with the Johnson Bros, Anthem / Paradigm (no experience with Anthem Room Correction) eco system has been a disappointment. I'm guessing their take on, or house sound goals are ... 
Devialet , the best bass of any speaker
Considering its high pressure design, I might be concerned by it's somewhat of an open ended warrantee? Still interesting though.   It's using opposed woofers that are each hermetically sealed. Inside is supposed to be under 400 lbs. of pressure... 
Bose 901 Review Well Done.
We used a pair for the PA for a short time. In hindsight the state of the solid state power to drive them with any authority in 1970 had their own growing pains.  It might be interesting to hear them driven by todays refined solid state or hybrid... 
Well I joined the Silversmith FIDELIUM Speaker cable club today
@mglik I just red your 2022 message regarding your Ampeg Ecojet Guitar amplifier purchased at Leo’s Music. If I’m not mistaken in 1965 Leo was in his downtown Oakland location. I rented a couple of Double Basses in 1962-63 while going to McChesne... 
Subs?
A.  Whether you decide on one subwoofer or three its imperative they be positioned within your rooms standing wave bass modes. This is a relatively simple way to locate and mark your rooms modes and is only done once. https://www.audioholics.com/... 
Does You Subwoofer Settings ??
Just to expand on @deep_333 suggestion, If I'm not mistaken the SVS App includes three presets. These presets should allow for personal customization of all or most of the available App settings to memory. They may already have factory settings ... 
The $27,900 disappointment? Wilson Audio Watt Puppy 8 issues.
@deep_333  +1 Meyer Sound Labs Bluehorn system.  https://meyersound.com/product/bluehorn-system/ A more recent similarly lively system was Devon Turnbull's total system presentation at the San Francisco Museum Of Modern Arts showing of The Art... 
How many subs?
  @bilateral sorry to hear of your day. Lighting! My untouched 1959 formica covered ranch house has hanging brass fixtures right out of the Jetson’s. Regardless of their mid century cool the homes lighting is a nightmare. I sure could use your c... 
How many subs?
@bilateral  Just a thought. Saturday January 11, I filled in on Bass at a benefit held in a medium sized hall. After the sound check I noticed the front of house equipment rack included a 1U spaced component called DBX Drive Rack (something).  ... 
Who positions their speakers straight ahead (zero tow in) and why.
Avalon Acoustics Eidolons, 6’4” from front wall, 1/4” toe in.  I’m guessing the why, is why Avalon could give a shhitt about being reviewed. Then again I’m just a hack audiophile musician. My wife was in radio and when her friends visit they ask,... 
Setting up stereo Rel subwoofers….
["Been moving my sub about to the right or left of rig for months. Still not happy turn it up and midrange gets smeared turn it down and punch just drops. So finally broke down and did the floor crawl thing with sub in listening position. Son of ... 
How many subs?
@bilateral  Considering your living arrangement concerns the -6dB sub-bass speaker suggestion is understandable...but no.  A subwoofer with a modicum of frequency response control would be a far greater advantage while maintaining the ability t...
