Would it really matter if one sub was a Klipsch R-100SW and the other a Klipsch SPL-100,?They have same very similar freq responses and more than enough watts for my needs, same brand, same sized driver, both ported and front firing. I see a number of similarities on paper between them, the...
Silly question:My current sub is from 2006 but the main specs are:
Frequency response 30–200 Hz
(at maximum crossover frequency)
Crossover frequency 50–200 Hz (variable)
Maximum output power 150 W Dynamic
20 cm woofer
Some of the new subs today seem to be the same or slightly less on some of...
What have people's experiences been with using the Multi EQ/Dynamic EQ/Dynamic volume? I've experimented a little and found:
1.You don't have to turn the volume as high to get the same 'loudness' compared to having these features turned off, in fact 0-30 on the absolute scale is no longer...
If you're comparing receivers or external amps with different frequency response ranges , say one is 20Hz-20Khz and another is 10Hz-25KHz-is there going to be a noticeable difference in sound between the two, all other things being equal?
Oh great, so the A-500 is basically redundant? Live and learn I suppose. Would there be any point trying the Dolby upward firing speakers with the A-500?
It looks like there is often a difference between what is technically better and what subjectively sounds better to a specific individual.
I just tried only running the front L and R from the Basx A500 and the rest of the 7.1.4 from the AVR, it actually sound better, like a more 'full' sound compared to running LCR and surround backs off the A-500. Surround effect was more immersive and there was more bass. AVR did run hotter...
Another aspect for those of us outside the US:The Emotiva's automatically detect the voltage and adapt to it. No need for transformers and such. The Monolith/Outlaw/Parasound models I've looked at will only run on 110-120volts so we can't even import one from the US, do you know what I am saying?
I bought this one as my first )and so far, only) Power Amp. I use all 5 channels-LCR and surround backs in a 7.1.4 set up with the Denon X3700 as the AVR.
I found it does help at mid-to high volumes, not so much when at low loudness. Sound is clearer and more defined, I also noticed more bass...
Has anyone actually run the 3700H in pre-amp mode where every speaker is on an external power amp and the AVR's amps are turned off? How much of a difference does it make to the sound compared to having only the LCR on a power amp?
I have a 7.1.4 where theLCR and surr back run on an Emotiva...
