I have in my music listening room 4 pairs of speakers on two systems, one a 2 channel music system, the other a quasi-home theatre. I have a pair of jbl L-166's with 12 inch woofers, a pair of JBL L-200's with 15 inch woofs, a pair of Chario Academy 1's and a pair of Spica TC-50's. Usually only 1 pair is playing at any given time... I have noticed that if one of the mini monitors is playing, the woofers on the jbl's do, if you feel them, resonate somewhat. I have never been able to hear any sound or any interference on the part of the woofers in the room. I think I remember reading an article way back by Linn stating that you should only have one pair of speakers in a room and recommended to their dealers that only 1 pair of Linn speakers should be set up in a listening room. Anyone remember that?
Do unpowered Subwoofers/Speaker effect room modes?
In my "small two channel" room I have two small powered subwoofers. Both are ported, one with two 6.5" woofers and the other with a single 6.5". These are part of a Computer system in which I mostly sit and peruse A'gon =). Neither have anything to do with the Audio rig. They are physically located under the desk on the opposite wall from the system.
I am attempting to apply various room treatments and I am wondering what effect these woofers may have on the them. Maybe some absorptive qualities? Could they effect room modes?
I read some on this topic a few years back. I recall that someone advocated that even the tiniest of speakers, like that in a phone receiver, could have a noticeable effect.
So before, I dig through a tangled web of computer cables, I humbly ask for your opinions.
