Hello, I've been thinking about getting the Ascilab C6B for some nearfield usage, 0.3-0.8m (Keith at purite has said it sounds fine at 1m, i'd like to know how it sounds at 0.5 m and he's gonna test it, i've asked the manufacturer already let's see what happens, if it's too close i'll get stands...

I've been researching subs and i've been learning more and more, at first I thought i'd be happy with just a specified loudness at 20 hz, meaning it goes as deep as i'd want it to. But as i looked more and more I started seeing differing opinions on stuff I see people talking about things in...

Hello. I´m a little bit nervious because after reading all of you after one year finally I´ve decided to write here. I´m not new in the audio hobby, but sometimes you get stuck and you need de knowledge from the very experienced friends. Until today I was using my REL sub with he high level...

Budget audiophile with a first post - Anyone have any thoughts on the newly announced Fosi 10” powered subwoofer? I am looking for a budget sub to go with a pair Boston Acoustics VR30’s a relative gave me. Mainly use with my home theater but also some classical music, mostly strings. Was going...

My Questions and a link to my measurements are at the end of this comment. I've got a 2nd SVS SB-2000 today for my small, well sealed room (4.5m x 2.7m x 2.5m) - It sounds amazing, but now I'm in for chasing the last few things I could do better just for the fun of understanding new things and...

Hey everyone, I’ve been seeing that while most people go with active subs these days, there are still quite a few who stick with passive subwoofers. I’m really curious to learn from those of you who use them. A few things I’d love to hear about: Why passive? What made you choose a passive sub...

Hi all. I bought this black 12” sub at Rythmik’s Austin HQ about 4 or 5 years ago. I used it occasionally in a 2.1 system in a dedicated media room until mid-2022, then mothballed it until late 2023, when we moved to Bellingham, WA, and then it went into my son’s bedroom for his 2.1. As forum...

I’ve been doing some reading here and on other forums about subwoofers and subwoofer amplifiers. It’s clear that measured performance — things like frequency response, THD, output levels — tells part of the story. But I’m curious about how people actually use them in their daily setups, and...

Since my Dayton RSS315HF was just slightly too big for the cabinet I had intended, that cabinet got a couple of RS225s. This was done as a bass module for Directiva r2, but for the listening test, I used it as a subwoofer. I already had one of the RSS315s in sealed rectangular cabinet but wanted...

Apologies if there is a specific thread for this, I could not find any. I bought a XTZ Sub 12.17 Edge and just run a REW analysis (by following a guide + youtube videos). This is the result in the ideal sub location (right of the sofa near the corner): (UMIK-1 mic) I don't see any big nulls...

Hello all. I added a subwoofer to my setup, and I am doing measurements with REW and a Umik-1 to help me set the crossover and generate some EQ filters. I was hoping I could get some input on the measurements I've made and see if anyone can provide their input or guidance on how to choose...

See attached measurements. I have 2 subs one SVS PB-2000 and one SVS SB-2000. Both have their phase settings at 0°. Audyssey detected a polarity warning due to "out of phase" and asked me to check the wiring. Since these are subwoofers, I am unsure which wiring to check. I hear my subwoofer...

I've never had a subwoofer that doesn't roll off steeply below 30 hz, and I understand that very little music content is below 30 hz. I've read in a few places that when a music recording does have content below 30 hz, it's usually filtered out during mastering in order to make it play better on...

Subwoofers tend to be big black cubes that are quite ugly and bulky that our wives hate, but have you ever found a subwoofer that is aesthetically beautiful? Something that has at least an acceptable WAF? I'll start with a Denon sub in a multi-channel package system, very pleasant even if...

I have a vintage Velodyne DD18 subwoofer that just died. :facepalm::eek: Its prodigious 18" cone and 1,250 watt digital servo controlled output was clean (like 2% distortion) down to 15 hz or below. At 120 lbs, it's a monster and understandably provided amazing deep LFE in my 18' x 27' x 9'...

My listening area The area behind the sofa is about 12 x 12 with a 9 foot ceiling. I've pretty much narrowed my search to either a Rythmik L12 or a Hsu ULS-15 Mk2. I chose these because both companies have a good reputation, and these are about the cheapest subs of their size. The Hsu 15"...

Hello, I'm currently running a pair of KEF R7 Meta speakers together with a KEF Kube 10 MIE subwoofer on my system. The subwoofer was recently added after it (although only one) reproduced the bass range much better than both R7 Meta together without subwoofer. The subwoofer is currently...

I have a very large plot of land in the countryside. I hope to build a private cinema from scratch, with a screen size of over 350 inches. The cinema is approximately 14 meters long and has a volume of around 700 cubic meters. I want to set up a surround sound system, and I have the following...
