How could you run out of juice? I've only once had my 8050b's red lights come on and I listen to metal.
Amplifier Power
700 W Bass (Class D) + 150 W Midrange (Class D) + 150 W Treble (Class D)
Sorry I thought we were discussing the 8361.Are you sure we are talking about the same speaker? Actually, my reply was in response to a statement about the KH120's bass performance.
The question is
If they're so SPL limited and probably can be used only as nearfields
Are they still worth the asking price?
109db long term solution at 10’. That would work in my room. But I don’t listen that loud anymore.The question is

willd guess, some king of mounting backplate and reinforcement for the extral SPL driver vibrations?Any guesses why this plate is in front of the wooofers? Resonance damper? Do the ‘51s have this as well?

Have you/GLM tried to lift a dip by any chance? If so, don't do that and see if it still happens.So guess which song I saw the lights tonight.
“You are” by Lionel Richie. I mean come on.
You know I think maybe I fat fingered something when I see that bump around 120Hz. I never add gain (except in sound character profiler) I always drop room modes and such. Something doesn’t look right.Have you/GLM tried to lift a dip by any chance? If so, don't do that and see if it still happens.
Also, not sure if there's any gain-related compensation for the +3 dB shelving in your correction software. If not you could be clipping the inputs and not the speakers itself.
To my knowledge, speakers shouldn’t be producing sound images out side the stage between them.
I don't know how GLM operates, but if it's anything like other correction softwares you need to pay attention to boost levels and compensate accordingly by lowering the input signal. If it does it automatically then the next suspect would be trying to compensate for sbir cancellation in the upper bass area. Not only does it sound bad, it's like pouring power into a black hole. Thought it could possibly explain your experiences.You know I think maybe I fat fingered something when I see that bump around 120Hz.

Yes previously I played adding gain but only on subwoofers.
So there is no software in use before GLM. The input signal is flat. But I better also double check that. Maybe windows “enhancement” may have been selected. But I doubt it. Still worth checking.
I better recalibrate and set it straight. So last last night I think actually overheated. I needed to disconnect power for some 30+ seconds to get it to come back online. Twice.
What exactly is real stereo and what sorts of mic arrangements would capture it?That is only true for real stereo. With studio mixes "anything" is possible.

Good info from Sancus.You should be able to manually adjust the shelf filters to whatever you want more or less. Don't be afraid of doing that, GLM is designed for you to clearly see and modify the filters it applies if you like.
Yes indeed I use SCP to boost 0-200Hz +3dB.@srrxr71, I think you might not have seen this: How can I boost the bass range of a SAM-system that includes one or more subwoofers?
"There is one important thing to be aware of: In GLM 4.1 we introduced positive gain for some models. But our subwoofers DO NOT support this feature."Yes indeed I use SCP to boost 0-200Hz +3dB.
Also to shelf down 1500Hz -2.5dB
So I have room modes at 20Hz and 35Hz. I feel (from just listening) that taking out the 20Hz mode by dropping it with high Q filter makes the bass sound more tight. Can those long term decay interfere with future audible bass notes?Some suggestions :
A good DDC with digital output and playing directly from a Mac with Apple lossless will give you a slightly better sound than an AirPort with airplay ( I have done comparisons ) .
You can also try to put all corrections done by GLM below 30 Hz to zero. This will give more impact to the sound and doesnt affect the perceived pitch in the bass region, theres not much musical tones below 30 Hz . An electric bass guitarr has its lowest tone at 41 Hz ( E ) .
Correct installation of the speakers are also mandatory ( the distance between the speakers, and the distance to the frontwall. )
