This is what it says
My 3800H is regularly set to -15 to -20 dB with music. LCR are active but the other speakers seem to be power hungry…Listening distance is only about 2m so I can see that under more demanding circumstances a powerful amp might be necessary. Thought about adding a 6 Channel HypeX power amp but is there any benefit?For the 3800, Amir got 168W into 4 ohms both channels driven while he got 175W for the 4800 under the same conditions. This is only a 4% difference compared to the 15% difference under 8 ohms. I believe your prediction is still based on the massive price difference b/w the two despite you admitting the 3800 would have been the "value" choice.
My interest in your 4800 performance on internal amps alone is tied to the belief that what goes for the 4800 should generally go for my 3800 as well!
With ART it's far worse than that - the calculations ART makes are based on a clean signal - when you add distortion to the signal it becomes less effective - so as distortion rises, so does decay in an ART system - even at normal listening levels (I measured at 74db) distortion in the lower bass region starts to rise for all my speakers and subs... and so does decay (ie: ART becomes ever less effective at decay control as distortion rises)
None of them are at "AI" level yet. They're just "Large Language Models". And so how much "language" do you think is in the "model" regarding a "just released" "black-box technology"? Not much I would say ::seahorse-emoji::
Understanding the limitations of ChatGPT, that said if you’re looking for that third woofer to increase modal diversity, then it would seem the side wall location makes sense.
The presets can only be used with 1 RC brand:
Not sure I am following. If your current preset 1 is an Audyssey measurement than preset 1 is currently Audyssey with whatever set up you loaded and saved in preset 1. With Dirac you are using preset 2 IIRC, Dirac allows 3 slots within that preset for different "tunes". So with Audyssey you get one tune per preset but with Dirac you get 3 tunes per preset of availability. With Dirac I have not measured my overall set up more than once (yet) but my understanding is you can load any project you have saved into any of the 3 slots. So you could have a tight measurement of 9 points in one slot, a tight measurement of 16 points in another, and a wide seat measurement in slot 3 if desired. Or you could have 3 variations of support settings or whatever based on the same measurement. Your term of base system measurement is where I get lost as I don't understand if you mean a new Audyssey measurement, a new Dirac measurement, or base settings (defaults) applied to a current Audyssey or Dirac measurement? Hope this helped?
I don't hear any distortion, low frequency range and support for the LS 50s are limited to 75 Hz. Woofers aren't even moving ... Thought about upgrading the rear speakers but haven't found a compact bookshelf speaker with wall-mount-option and better bass extension which also measures well. I am actually inclined to support the rear speakers with two compact subwoofers (Buchardt Sub 10) instead.
I’m using these mounts below with KEF R3 Meta. You have to do some careful drilling but they look and work great.
Most probably something like that.
You are tagging a wrong person...
Thanks for the link, unfortunately not available here but there are similar wall-mounts with EU shipping. Maybe if I get a really good deal on a pair of Kef R3 (non meta) this will be an option.
