In the end I decided to do what the recording studios do, just go with AES. I was driving mine from my Mac Mini.
So, I use cheap AES cables ( 110 Ohm ) and go from convertor to AES cable. Then one cable to the Left speaker, then from that to the right speaker then from that to the Sub, it's...
I'm running the Core Sub with a pair of Core 7's. They fill the bottom end in and then some. Pairing a sub with a pair of stereo speakers is always a good move and I've always done it. You will find the cross over is set to 80Hz, which means you can drive the 59's effortlessly whilst the grunt...
I'm UK based running a dedicated 9.4.4 Trinnov / Ascendo system. I've ended up with Colins amps exclusively, after going through a few other manufacturers. I have one amp ( 6 channel 252's ) for my bed layer, a second hand 502 for LCR's and a second hand 4 channel 252 for height layer...
Whilst this is not what you are after. This guy I think ships in Europe and has an 8 way NC122 at £1,024. Two weeks ago he had one ( I think ) 8 channel NC252 at £1,200 inc VAT. Cracking price - https://kjfaudio.com/product/8-channel-ma-01-amplifier-125w-black-hifi-front-and-binding-posts/. He...
It tried the 1502 with the 4645C and found it didn't quite work or feel right. I was not doing any additional processing to the sound. However, when I tried the same sub on a Crown DSi 2000 bridged, it has a setting for this sub. Totally different. Don't know what it was doing, but totally...
I've asked the manufacturer for a least some charts they have produced and for them to put them up on there web site. Im considering buying a set of 13 speakers from them. When you stack them up against Ascendo they look more sensitive, more powerful and heavier. However, I would suggest due to...
I've got three nord amps. 3 x 500, 4 x 250 & 6 x 250. Purchased perhaps a year ago, all been on 24/7 ( usually in standby ) not a fault from them. Run cool with lots of power. Good purchase.
I've got a JBL 4645c powered by a Crown DSi 2000 behind my main seat in my movie room.... Certainly moves the seat !! I do, of course have four more subs in the same room ( ¼ into the room in the 4 corners ).... Let just say, the roof tiles rattle when cranking it up. I'm uk based, 150 year old...
I’d put £100 on not hearing a difference between this amp and using a hypex amp from, say Nord. The numbers might be different but say on height and surround speakers you won’t hear a difference. I have Hypex & Crown in a Trinnov set up. No difference. However Hypex don’t have fans closer match...
