| LFE vs High-level subwoofer connection, for FIDELITY @gournard You can push all you like. We can disagree on audio setups, but there is no reason to be disrespectful. I mentioned subs, not mono. Trust me, I wasn't being disrespectful. Being disrespectful reads 100x worse. If you can't question ... | |
| LFE vs High-level subwoofer connection, for FIDELITY @thehybridvigor High level is fine if you have no intention of digitally altering the signal (room correction, EQ, delay, phase adjustment) on a separate device. Sorry I don’t understand; why can’t you digitally alter the signal with room cor... | |
| Subwoofers - crazy upgrade! @asmithkash In small rooms, does everyone still recommend subs with full-range speakers? The definition of 'small' is an important detail. It's probably not recommended because you might have to tune it to sub-optimal levels for the money, bu... | |
| LFE vs High-level subwoofer connection, for FIDELITY @larryincmh here's the spectrum from a desktop software. It's more accurate and is able to pick up more detail. The left channel is orange. You can see a fair bit of content below 80Hz on the right channel. Again, that was ~50Hz bass you could loc... | |
| LFE vs High-level subwoofer connection, for FIDELITY @larryincmh here's a visualizer screenshot from my streamer. You see there's signal in the right channel but there are no vertical bars above 50Hz. That means the signal is below 50Hz. https://mega.nz/file/yAwmySqR#aYn8_6T69zXXvNwx3Ld3mGVuzhXlRoI... | |
| LFE vs High-level subwoofer connection, for FIDELITY @larryincmh yes a guitar solo. I was incorrect when I said it was around 50-60Hz. It's actually below 50Hz. And as you stated, you could simply hear it on the right channel. I'll attach a picture of the visualizer on my streamer to show it when I ... | |
| LFE vs High-level subwoofer connection, for FIDELITY @larryincmh isn't bass mono and omnidirectional by nature, so bass should not be evident from a left channel or right channel anyway. It should just be sound pressure in a room. Omnidirectional is not the entire picture, especially in a real ... | |
| LFE vs High-level subwoofer connection, for FIDELITY @larryincmh Per Yamaha‘s instructions I set my speakers to small which keeps the LFE channels engaged in stereo mode I'm not sure you are aware but LFE downmixes stereo sources to mono. If your crossover is below 40Hz it doesn't make a differ... | |
| LFE vs High-level subwoofer connection, for FIDELITY @jbuddha882 im looking at an anthem SA35 to get Dirac live in a system I can’t speak for Anthem but an AVR is probably the worst thing you can do to add noise to ’fidelity’...for music. So if you go straight from your source (ie streamer) to ... | |
| LFE vs High-level subwoofer connection, for FIDELITY @kr4 but can't correct main and sub separately in the overlap region It does knock down the overlapping frequencies affecting both the speaker and sub. But it measures the same as using bass management. It sounds just as good but it's soooo m... | |
| LFE vs High-level subwoofer connection, for FIDELITY @kr4 The problem with a high-level connection to the amp or main speaker terminals is that there’s no way to properly integrate/balance the sub with the main speaker. So-called double-bass is completely unpredictable. Just run room correctio... | |
| Expanding the Class D Conversation: How Would You Characterize Their Differences? @hilde45 In my way of thinking, someone who claims to talk to the dead and takes money for it is doing two separate things worth naming. The Vatican also talks to the dead, preaches and rakes in $1/4B a year from visitors who fall for it. It ... | |
| Expanding the Class D Conversation: How Would You Characterize Their Differences? @hilde45 He also sells contact with the dead. Doesn't that sound like your average Christian, Catholic, Lutheran, Jewish, Muslim, etc? | |
| Do Audiophiles Hear Real Differences, or Are They Justifying Expensive Purchases? I haven't experienced this issue. It's probably more theory on extreme cases. It's similar to EMI/RFI with interconnects. The noise is there but you have to increase the gain something like 30dB to hear it. In any case, the idea is that I believe ... | |
| Do Audiophiles Hear Real Differences, or Are They Justifying Expensive Purchases? I’m not for a against any particular type of cable but has anyone considered their decisions vs the sound quality of wireless? The way I see it, wireless is what you should be hearing because it bypasses all the flaws of cables. I understand ’... |
