OK...Added 2 HSU ULS-15Mk2 subwoofers To My System
After unboxing , I put one next to each speaker on the outside edge just to get started.
Followed the directions to get a base point on adjustments and then I listened to a couple of very familiar Lp`s
I found that these subs are VERY distracting.....In a good way
Naturally (at least to me) when someone adds a couple of 15" subs to a setup they have a tendency to focus their attention on bass and all that.
But I was hearing many new sounds and DETAIL too that I had never picked up on before.
These sounds are not 'bass territory'... how does a Triangle image so much further out to the side now ?
The next morning I dragged my Adcom 575 CD player from the garage system and powered up the subs only and put the RHCP`s Californication on repeat for about 12 hours or so.
Then did the crawl and moved the subs around and listened on and off over a week or so and then did another crawl and made changes to the settings on the subs too.
Getting better for sure. I think HSU recommends 30 hours for break in.
So far I absolutely love these HSU subs for what they are doing for my music !
I`m also finding that the numeric volume display on the Tortuga Preamp is down a bunch from my usual levels.
So, I now have 3 15" sealed subs in the room, the HSU`s and my Revel Ultima 15
Lindsey Stirling's` Shatter Me' has never sounded so good !

jtcf868 .... :D might add another...never know millercarbon ...I get that on the humor thing ! Not really a bass guy, at least I wasn`t ! I`m really a 99 % vinyl guy not sure if that is available on vinyl. Is that a Flim and the BB`s deal ? I have a CAL tubed player that I need to plug in, now that I think about it, just to wake it up. rocray ...Yep |

..Thanks. I think if you added a sub/subs it would be one of those 'Why didn`t I do it sooner ' type things :) erik_squires ..I can see why. I actually had a HSU sub years ago that I sold to my buddy and he`s been using it ever since. 213runnin ..Very musical and the best sub out there for the money comment is heard a lot. Thanks noble100 ...Thanks Tim. I agree across the board. My buddy who I sold my HSU sub to years ago came over to hear the new subs Tuesday night. He and his wife are audiophiles also. I filled him in on what I was hearing before putting anything on. He`s a bit of a skeptic though. He went over to the rack and pulled a couple LP`s that he wanted to hear. The first cut wasn`t even over before he was saying things like "Did you just hear that ?!" It wasn`t anything special..Tracy Chapman I think. After the listening session was over he said it was the best $1700 improvement he`s ever heard ! He left a believer now too. bdp24 ...You know it and I`m on board with your observation 110% millercarbon ..Cool read Chuck ! Thanks for sharing :) Thanks for the reply`s guys Steve |
