LFE vs High-level subwoofer connection, for FIDELITY
@paducahhometheater  My mains are $30,000 Perlisten S7t limited editions which are tuned to 22 hz which is probably lower than what you’re running. Even then I wouldn’t dare send high powered infrasonic signals with a high current external amp to... 
Subwoofers - crazy upgrade!
@elamar I’m using a 12 inch SVS sub.  Should I add my old 10 inch  Martin Logan’s? If you've mapped out your rooms standing bass waves using the crawl to position your subs in and can invest in some inexpensive custom length interconnects from ... 
Subwoofers - crazy upgrade!
@gjfalls  I decided to buy a new system at a local high-end audio shop in Walnut Creek, CA and was educated by the audio shop owner on the  why, what and how subwoofers benefit a two-channel audio system. Was that Stereo Unlimited on Locust in ... 
Subwoofers - crazy upgrade!
@ozzy I have 4 subs, placed in the corners of the room. But I wonder if stacking 2 in the front would be better? In 2011 when I slightly asymmetrically corner positioned two Velodyne 12" Plus, one DD-18" and a 15" Earthquake Nova in a large vau...

@ervikingo  Not friendly to my back.  My speakers go really low (REW shows them starting to drop at 15Hz) but I do have 2 subs on standby! If your using -6dB rated sub-bass woofers read no further. If your sub/s are rated at -3dB@xxHz, when pl...

@ervikingo Have you mapped your rooms standing wave bass modes using the crawl?  
Anyone with passive subwoofer/s with external amplification?
During that time of development both Atlantic Technologies and Velodyne offer misleading subwoofer room placement suggestions. From the 2006 Velodyne SC-1250 manual: "Remember that the built-in 7 band EQ will help to get the most performance out ... 
BEST HORN LOUDSPEAKER TO PURCHASE
By far the best audio demonstration I’ve experienced was Devon’s Art Of Noise in San Francisco.    https://ojas.nyc/products/sun-audio-sv300be-kit?Tubes=Western+Electric+300B+w%2F+WE300B+Tubes&Workshop+%2B%24400=Yes Right from the needle dro...

Is your system still Analog if you use any form of DSP?
@maam522a  the use of DSP in room adjustments, subwoofer integration, etc.... If I use DSP as a filter to split off my subs is my system no longer analog??? To use signal processing "in room adjustments" for main speakers? Then you've entered t... 
Thoughts on a pair of Velodyne SC-8
@highend64  Would two subs receiving the same signal placed symmetrical to the listening position work in this aspect? What are your thoughts? From my experience directly comparing the big REL Studio III Sub Bass System and a Velodyne DD-18 S... 
Pondering REL and Dynaudio subwoofers.
@gotolondon2 A well experienced time with Velodyne. If something happens to my DD Plus' I'll defiantly audition the Dynaudio, thank you. My home sub history begins in 1967 with an Octavium. The mastering engineer who sold me the sub cabinet built... 
Pondering REL and Dynaudio subwoofers.
@gotolondon2   I have had Velodyne, JL Audio, and SVS subs.  Which model Velodyne and how did you determine its position in your room?  
Pondering REL and Dynaudio subwoofers.
You're considering two very different animals.  If I'm understanding Dynaudio Sub6 spec "(Hz @ 85dB +/- 3dB): 16" as well as the manuals suggestion of placing the unit at the listening position to excite your rooms unique standing wave bass mod... 
Magnepan LRS+ and WiiM Amp
@yyzsantabarbara  I just saw your Nov 2025 ad on the US Audio Mart, pending sale. I'm guessing a Santa Cruz Bullit?  email me if the pending falls through.
