| Is this how a Subwoofer Crossover is supposed to work? Again, thanks to those of you that are providing constructive input.1) I've put the system back together, moving one sub to a different location and setting phase and crossover frequencies individually for each sub. I am still using the DAC to pr... | |
| Is this how a Subwoofer Crossover is supposed to work? imhififan Interesting suggestion. I wish they came in 5 or 7 db attenuation. -10 starts taking the problem in the other direction LOL. | |
| Is this how a Subwoofer Crossover is supposed to work? 1) So I’m not an idiot. Of course I’m setting the volume of the amplifier at a fixed level that approximates my 75 dB listening level and fine tuning volumes with the DAC that then controls what both the amp and the subs see.2) If I wanted to spen... | |
| Is this how a Subwoofer Crossover is supposed to work? geared4me I use the volume controls on the R8 to get the rough level and then the volume control on the DAC to fine tune. The DAC doesn't have any amplification. The DAC Volume Control only reduces volume. BUT it turns out having the Subs hoo... | |
| Is this how a Subwoofer Crossover is supposed to work? OK. I have taken the suggestions to measure a single Starke SW12 subwoofer near miked in the middle of the room sitting on a padded footrest which is about the best I can do to take out any factors other than the subwoofer. Just for yucks I also m... | |
| Is this how a Subwoofer Crossover is supposed to work? audiokinesis Duke, Thank you for that elaboration. Very helpful and informative. I'll make some measurements of a single Starke SW12 this evening as well as a very cheap Klipsch R-12SW that I have lying around and post those results. | |
| Is this how a Subwoofer Crossover is supposed to work? audiokinesis"Your measurements look to me like they are in the ballpark for a variable-frequency second-order lowpass filter.I can elaborate if you’d like"Please do since I don't know what that is. | |
| Is this how a Subwoofer Crossover is supposed to work? I appreciate all the input here although I am less enthusiastic about how this thread has devolved into the kind of digressions and name calling that seems typical of Audiogon. Also, since these forums don't support true threading it is challengi... | |
| Is this how a Subwoofer Crossover is supposed to work? kenjit As you know perfectly well I haven't said anything about how the subs sound and that has nothing to do with my question or this conversation. | |
| Is this how a Subwoofer Crossover is supposed to work? imhififan1 Shipping costs returning the subs would be a significant portion of the purchase price. I would rather figure out a way to make them work for me if possible. | |
| Is this how a Subwoofer Crossover is supposed to work? erik_squires I can remeasure with one sub and set the crossover to its 200 Hz high point but I'm not sure the results will show much difference but you can never tell.I am using a Willsenton R8 tube amp to drive Moabs. If I want to add subs to le... | |
| REVEL performa3 f208 or TEKTON Moab @jeffvegas can't wait to hear your side by side comparision of the Revels and Moabs. So few people on here post opinions based on actual a/b comparisions which is the only real way to know what you prefer. Just be prepared for the wait on the Mo... | |
| REVEL performa3 f208 or TEKTON Moab I own the Moabs and Magnepan 3.7's. The Moabs have a very rich involving sound but the fact that they are cheaply made, poorly damped, box speakers also shows up in the way they sound. The Magnepan's are a little less involving but technically I... | |
| High end Class D amps? The Starke AD4.320 isn't sold out, is it simply backordered until the end of December. https://shop.starkesound.com/products/starke-sound-ad4-amplifier Pricing is still $839 shipped. I hooked the AD4.320 up to my Moabs today and liked it better... | |
| High end Class D amps? Based on boomerbillone's comments on the Starke AD4.320 in this thread, and the very aggressive Black Friday pricing of $839, I bought the amplifier and it was delivered Wednesday. I let the Starke AD4.320's burn in for about 20 hours and spent... |
