bass management

If Emotiva made something like the PT2 Pre-amp for desktop users at a lower price, I think it would be well received. Remove the phono input. Remove the HT bypass. Could even remove an analog input or two. Keep the variable low-pass and high-pass bass management. (This is what products are...

Dear ASR community, I'm a new member. Most of the time I listen to music from Qobuz, with my integrated streaming amplifier Yamaha R-N803D, feeding a pair of Kef LS50 Meta and the active subwoofer Kef KC62. I've been thinking of upgrading to Nad c399, but I'm not fully convinced and I shall...

Hi All, If you look at the attached, you’ll see a frequency sweep I ran up to about 3k on my system, listening form the listening position. You’ll see that there is a dip around 75hz (anticipated, I can correct,I think), and a peak at around 200hz. Does anyone else have this problem of a...

Hi everyone, I'm looking for a small low-cost DSP (less than 200 euros) to only manage the equalization of two or three subwoofers. I saw the t.racks dsp 4x4 mini pro. Seems like he can do the job with dignity. Has anyone tried it? Are there any differences in sound quality between the non-pro...

Hi there. Hoping for some help to upgrade our lounge system. I am seeking the best possible sound (subjective, of course) for music and TV/film in a 2.1 system on a budget of £1k or under. I already have a BK XXLS400 sub so this is for the receiver and speakers. I'm not interested in surround...

I live in a small room in a duplex, so as much as I love bass, I have to eliminate most of it. In terms of where I can put speakers, I can really only use 2 walls and plus I have 2 setups, a desktop one and a Home Theater one. I rearranged my room a few times, put up some blankets and even...

Hello, I recently upgrade my HT setup and moved my old equipment into a computer / game room. After setting everything up I am getting very low amts of bass output from the sub that use to be my main sub for 3 years (and was very happy how it performed) My subwoofer (monoprice monolith 10")...

Hi people! Let me explain my problem. My configuration is: Denon AVR-X2300W, 5 speakers (L R large, C RL RR small), no subwoofer. Bass management works fine for almost every multichannel format I tested. I mean, I run speaker mapping test files for Dolby Digital 5.1, Dolby Digital Plus 7.1...

I struggled to decide which category to post this but thought I might find the most patient helpers here :) I am looking to build a high quality 2.1 front end for bookshelf speakers + a sub, and want to avoid sending full range to the bookshelves. By high quality I mean something like: SMSL...

Hi all, So the challenge is this. I want to keep sound coming from my DAC (LG G5 smartphone) which I like alot, except it does not do bass well (I am aware of equalizers, but they don't do the job well). Is there a hardware combo for portable use that will let you keep the DACs sound but...

Assume a rectangular room with two dominant axial length modes. The modes of interest are the 1st order axial length mode (1,0,0) and the 2nd order axial length mode (2,0,0). In most medium to large listening rooms with a rectangular shape, these modes are very unlikely to be treatable with...
