:facepalm: @Ron Texas I'm headed your way

well, puppet, when you have evidence of an audible difference i'd love to read all about it.

I did not state that the drivers move the atmosphere in the same way, perhaps you should read the original post. My question from the beginning is can you hear a difference between a larger and smaller sub playing the same frequency at the same volume with the same distortion? The differences...

Try this video, helped me understand the pros/cons. My experience trying it both ways using Anthem STR preamp (ARC Genesis) and switching back and forth I've always preferred dual mono...

Quotes imply a word for word replication of the original. What I, er, actually said was "I don't know, but if the large and the small driver are both moving the same quantity of air at the same frequency they should sound the same. The smaller driver just has to make a larger excursion with...

Happy Easter to Adam and all, may we always keep the discussions light hearted and congenial. I have it on good authority that Matthew Poes will soon be releasing a video re this subject of "tactility" in subs.

Sound quality is no longer a factor among quality DACs IMO, so when I chose the Benchmark DAC3B I did so because: 1- It integrates perfectly with the LA4 preamp I was using 2- Build quality and reliability are superb 3- Five year warranty 4- Excellent customer support and service if needed 5-...

Yet another vote for Benchmark. I've contacted (pestered) Rory countless times and always hear back almost immediately with a thoughtful and knowledgeable response. He has never tried to sell me anything. In fact when I was desperate to justify a second AHB2 he said basically, you don't need...

I think so. It is an Amazon "Deal" which I'm not familiar with although it appears they have a fixed number to sell and about 65% have been sold as of this post. For those looking for a transport with a nice UI (including Spotify and Tidal connect) this appears to be the best option. I have...

So if the ass was larger than the seatback the pressure would be dissipated; would this cause a peak or a null in the room? ;)

So you and @Zapper would agree that if the distortion were equal the sound from the two subs (18 and 12) would be indistinguishable in an unsighted comparison? Many of us "less knowledgeable" audio enthusiasts just assume bigger is better and for HT there is merit to that argument (for special...

Excellent reference, thanks

So I was considering the pros and cons of large vs small subwoofers. Clearly if you need to reproduce 10hz at 100+ db you need a large driver, something from JTR, Funk etc. But what if you're producing 20 hz at 90db? Does a large driver, say 18" sound different than a small driver, say 12"...

Rather than pay $1700 for the DAC3B it seems reasonable that one of the high performing DACs in the Review Index would do the job just as well, but which one? Am I right to avoid a volume control as that already exists in the LA4? The DAC3B puts out 24 volts, way more than others but my...

I have the LA4 in a Benchmark stack and from a performance point of view I think we'd agree it's superb. However, if you want DSP I think the Anthem STR preamp is the best choice. I have both and prefer the STR because of ARC Genesis (I have subs) and the very convenient user interface with an...
