subwoofer integration

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...

Hey, so I have following problem: my KEF LSX broke down after only 2 years and 11 months. I sent them to KEF already but I have a feeling that it will cost me some money I am not willing to spend on these speakers anymore. That’s why I was looking around for a replacement and I am thinking about...

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 all, New here / first post. I have a set of bookshelf speakers, and say it is rated to play down to 60Hz. And then a Sub (say the SVS SB1000 Pro), which has line level input and output and speaker level input. And i have a DAC that will give me RCA output. I don't have an amp yet. I...

I’m wondering if upgrading my sub from KEF Q400 to one of the below candidates would have a noticeable impact? In that case which sub (and size) would you go for? - REL T7X - KEF KC62 - I considered SVS Micro 3000 and loved the app, but I don’t like how it looks. So unless it’s significantly...

Hi all, I have got a pretty good Denon deck, but the Sub out (RCA) plug is broken off, and its not an easy thing to get to internally and fix. I was wondering if I could maybe use the Tape - Rec Out RCA plug instead, going to a line-level crossover to get the channel back. Not even sure that...

Dear knowledgeable audiopeople Unfortunately because of pressure from my S.O. (which many of you might be familiar with) i'm too rearrange my living room 2.1 system at the same time i'm considering upgrading my studio monitors for my music studio. I've planned to upgrade my Presonus Eris E5 to...

I'm currently planning to upgrade my 2.1 setup. I've done some research and am pretty sure what to get, but I could use some input on how to connect the sub. It has a line level mono input. Current setup: Rotel RA-12 (fed via S/PDIF from PC) ELAC BS 243 bookshelves ELAC SUB 2040 ESP (fed from...

Hi all, I recently found a pair of Magnepan MMG's listed for not a lot of money and I bought them just to get an idea why some people are so lyrical about Magnepan. I hooked them up and I have to say they sound amazing! It's not to be compared with a box speaker. Although the measurements and...

This is my first post, I hope it is in the right place. I want to make some changes to my setup, but cannot figure out how to best connect a subwoofer to the setup I have in mind. My current setup is an AVR as pre amp for stereo (Denon X4400H), and the Denon also processes the home theater...

Hello, I've been reading for quite some time all the threads I can find about how to do a decent but affordable 2.1 or (ideally) 2.2 setup for music. Source is a Windows tablet running Foobar2000 + EqualizerAPO through a Meizu Hifi Pro dongle - prefer this to previous setup of Chromecast Audio...

I have tried to integrate my studio monitors with my subwoofer but the subwoofer behaves erratically. Its frequency response is all over the place. I have put it close to my mains. No walls no obstructions. Here are my notes. At 70hz crossover 38 46 Subwoofer is much louder about twice as...

Hi all, on a lark I find myself the proud owner of an RBH SV-1212NR subwoofer. This thing is 38” tall, weighs 110lbs, and is completely passive. I’ve got a lot of questions, but the two most pressing are these: 1) I’m using a XLS 1502 in bridged mode. The sub is rated for up to 2400W, so the...
