Mine have surprisingly good low end so I don’t really feel the need for a sub.Have you looked at ELAC subwoofers?

The 3010 is smaller than the 3030 which is a bit big there are also the more expensive ones which are better lookingThanks, I’m still looking into it, ELAC’s are a possibility, I gave up with the idea of a cheap sub since I’ve seen Erin’s measurements, but other reviews with actual data are hard to find.
Currently the option I like the most seems to be the SVS 3000 Micro, it has good extension in a really small package, which is important because the room is small and it’s hard to find even 30/40cm2 of floor space.
How do you find their spl capability?Mine have surprisingly good low end so I don’t really feel the need for a sub.
Plenty loud, currently being driven by the Aiyimas, with a Topping enroute!How do you find their spl capability?
Hi Paolo,Thanks, I’m still looking into it, ELAC’s are a possibility, I gave up with the idea of a cheap sub since I’ve seen Erin’s measurements, but other reviews with actual data are hard to find.

The Topping arrived and is now connected and driving the Elacs.Plenty loud, currently being driven by the Aiyimas, with a Topping enroute!
Are you supplying the PA5 with a balanced connection or single ended RCAs?The Topping arrived and is now connected and driving the Elacs.
Despite speculation that the Elacs would need more power (by Amir‘s comments in the initial review) the Topping and the Aiyima‘s drive them well and loud.
Too, as I comment in the Topping PA5 thread, the Topping is a great amp but if you’re on a budget, buy the Aiyima 04 or 07 instead with a quality, 36V Mean Well power supply and put your extra money into the Elacs. You’ll have a great system that will keep you happy for many years of listening pleasure.
These little speakers continue to make me grin with their outstanding performance.

I have no experience with a DA9. I can only suggest you compare the specs and make the call.What about SMSL DA9? do you think it can drive these speakers well?
I have mine equally spaced from the side walls, which is about 6' from each wall.How sensible are these wrt to positioning and side walls?
I might not have lots of options wrt to back wall and i have one of the speaker will also have a side wall close, while the other one no sidewall at all.
Thanks!
don't like using headphones for movies; not my cup of tea.I have mine equally spaced from the side walls, which is about 6' from each wall.
If I had serious limitations with placement I would just use good headphones.
Hi Dennis,I just posted a pair of DBR-62's in the for sale forum--$500/pair used only for testing.
I think they're the best of the <$1100 2-ways I've tested. They measure extremely well. The crossover integration is very tight--better than the Revel M60 I tested, and way better than the Monolith. I'm still not wild about the wave guide--I'm pretty sure I could get a more spacious sound out of it without the guide. But at least it doesn't introduce any coloration. They're not BMR's, but they don't cost $1,700 either.Hi Dennis,
What did you think of them?
