Bookshelf Speakers Sitting On Dual Subs?
+1 fuzz erik bayl jjss onhy... The Elac DSP might allow you to roll the subs frequency response off beginning in the low 40Hz, continue until your down by -6dB in the low 30Hz. The Elac should now act like a -6dB sub-bass speaker. By lowering the... 
Subs with room correction DSP?
@macg19 No subwoofer crawl or gimmicky software with "special" mics required. If you’re using a -6dB sub-bass speaker/s they roll off around 40Hz and simply do not output enough subsonic frequency to excite most rooms standing waves. I’m guess... 
Subs with room correction DSP?
There’s the Velodyne Acoustics DD Plus. It requires a subwoofer crawl to identify room locations. Connections to either a TV or a laptop to monitor adjustments. It’s supplied with a calibrated mic positioned at the listening position and connected... 
Fathom subwoofers?
Despite your domestic considerations you should know the rooms standing wave bass mode locations by conducting the subwoofer crawl using your SB3000. The loudest modes are where your subwoofers should be or fairly close to. Using DSP to remedy a r... 
Fathom subwoofers?
What do you feel is missing with your current low frequency setup? How did you determine your subwoofer's positions?  
Will I benefit from upgrading REL subwoofer pair
@hilde45 asked.   Why REL? Other subs have variable phase, which can prove critical to integration.  ?    
Adding an Sub that doesn't go well below speakers?
Marten speakers, nice.  When any speaker system is positioned in the middle of the room for presentation and sound stage, that room position is usually in the rooms null, choking the speakers potential low frequency output. Shop for an actual su... 
Moving on a sailboat - bookshelf speakers?
Its been over a decade ago. I installed a Gallo Acoustics system on a Newport 30. He would leave the little sub in his dock locker on race days. https://galloacoustics.com/usa/ A wide beam tub with a tiller, glorified day sailer. The Newport 30'... 
How do you high pass your main speakers?
@erik_squires    As someone with hands on experience, and after getting plenty of positive feedback from A’goners who have actually tried it, I believe that most everyone who high passes their main speakers, via a line level crossover of some sor... 
Subwoofer
To have one to three subwoofers work to their integration’l potential at your listening position its imperative to preform the subwoofer crawl to map out your rooms bass mode standing waves (optimum subwoofer positions). https://www.youtube.com/w... 
How do you high pass your main speakers?
I'm guessing your speakers were designed to handle their low frequency limits. If the amplifier driving those speakers has adequate output to drive them, the methode of the high pass filtering may interfere with their designed presentation. Its ... 
Anybody Try A5s With Pass XA30.8?
N. Pass designed? Threshold T-400, sensible handles and connectivity, around a hundred pounds, dangerous no fluff case work not to mention still one of the most intriguing monickers ever given to an audio product. Like a big Mopar still running bi... 
Subs for SF Amati
@w123ale   REL have always been and remain sub-bass speakers. They begin a steep roll off in the 40Hz neighborhood with the T9X dramatically -6dB @ 27Hz.  Your Amati's are rated at (I'm assuming -3dB) @ 28Hz providing almost twice the output ener... 
Going backwards: what speakers best match a pair of REL s/510s
Welcome. I believe REL could answer your question best. FYI, actual subwoofers can be adjusted to better match most any speaker. You should be able to obtain a satisfactory result with their help. Enjoy.    
Bass- at what frequency does it change from sounding like a string to just a low tone?
@m669326 "I have a hell of a time determining where to set the sub volume. Which result reflects the recording's intent? How did they mean to balance the bass with the rest? And what sounds the best to me? you'd think I know that last one, but whe...
