I'm 65. I've been an active music fan and player for over 50 years. I know what good bass sounds like to me. I don't listen to much of today's bass heavy music, and like I said I don't do home theater either. I've had more speakers then I can remember, from the cheap to the very expensive. That goes for gear as well. I've listened to amazing systems in amazing homes and in stores. And unless you're my age, I'm guessing I've been to a lot more concerts then you. So the bottom line is what I want to hear is being heard. I know it's a tough one for you to swallow, but I get chest thumping bass out of the LS's. Not at quiet volumes for sure. But when I want to turn up the amps and listen to something that should be listened to loudly, I do, and I hear and feel the bass. Real bass. Using a sub to provide me with more of that, or perhaps a few more octaves that I don't miss will be wasted on me. I've tried them, I've heard them, and I'm not a fan. If you are, great. More power to you, my friend. We all listen differently, and I learned a long time ago not to criticize or belittle those that don't do it like me.

Good evening all ! Two of us will be syncing up some vinyl this evening in about 40 minutes at the TOP of the hour (from this posted time). David Gilmour on the UTurn this evening. I believe we are going to join Paul with some Bill Evans if we can dig up the same recordings, but surely Marillion is on the list. Stand by for more 🍷

I've posted this little tune before. For those who like to hear their subs doing some wall shaking pounding for the neighbors to enjoy.

I'm glad you post your items here. Classes up the joint.....😄

We are on SIDE 3, and the final tracks of the recording...........one of the inner sleeves shown here.

This is such a quiet lp. Appropriately titled... Diana Krall - Turn Up The Quiet.

Aaaaw, ok, we'll keep tryin'.............meanwhile, we both got Diana Krall going now, fun evening

Bill Evans Trio - At Shelly's Manne - Hole, Hollywood, California.

On to side two of Marillion

Marillion- Misplaced Childhood

HEY DIRT MUDD !!!!

Me too!

Not in a creepy way Sorry picture might be large, can't figure out how to make it smaller on phone.

I wasn't trying to be snarky with anybody. If anything I've said came off that way, my apologies. Never my intent to be rude to anybody, ever.

Correct

There ya go again @Shiva... Workin on my head AND my subs. hahaha Covered like a blanket and pushin some air... 😂

I just love folks who can put electronics into beautiful cabinets. These aren't mine, although I would love the Auditronics mic preamps in the smaller cabinet. His woodworking is superb. www.gruningaudioworks.com

And when you asked, "Can I see the menu, please?", did she reply, "The men I please are none of your business."?

I emailed the seller this morning. Just got his reply that they are sold.

On Amazon Music there's a button you can select that's labeled audio quality or something like that and it gives that info.

Side 4 is the quietest of them all 😉

Finishing the night with Julie... Julie London - Our Fair Lady

Psi trance, love it. If you like this, you will love infected mushroom and cosmic tone. Tight, thumping kicks and high tempo with crazy spatial cues. Not just your subs get tested. I have this track on one of my mixes. When I played it through my class A plinius, INCREDIBLE sounds came out. A true eargasm of sort for this genre of music.

Good watch

On to side two... Bill Evans Trio at Shelly's Manne - Hole, Hollywood, California. 1963

When I saw Tool in January 2020, just before covid really took off in the US, I thought it was too damn loud and the treble was hot as hell. Everyone always talked about how incredible Tool sounded live but I was like "nah it sounds better on my headphone rigs" and now that I have a competent 2-channel setup there's no comparison. I wish I had taken a db reading at the concert. But yeah it felt like I had cotton in my ears the rest of the night. I saw Post Malone at the same venue a month later and I thought he sounded better and my ears didn't feel like they were stuffed afterwards. And I'm a HUGE Tool fan....

Hey Paul, perhaps you could join us next Sunday just before your lunch? That would be after our BSO concert that we catch on Saturday evening here in the states. Let me know and we'll all sync it up Meanwhile, we got the Bill Evans at Shelly's going on now 🍷

I liked the MAC7200 a lot with my LS, i bought another one for my CW III's.

Gotta start somewhere But Gia has an advantage from most kids She plays records on dads setup

This is the one Its on its way - but because it’s from overseas I need to wait https://www.discogs.com/release/2205254-Tchaikovsky-Cincinnati-Symphony-Orchestra-Erich-Kunzel-1812-Capriccio-Italien-Cossack-Dance-From-Maz

no offense taken on my part, just replying to your comments & comparisons... i didnt compare anything to a horn sub, however, your comparison is using the biggest sub SVS makes... im keeping on track with the OPs comments that he has limited space (as most people do) if i compared anything it was a similar sized SVS to his little klipsch subs... that would be the sb2000pro or sb3000 that are all of a ~14" cube. & at their new or used prices they are hard to beat for everything you get with SVS. im not very familiar with all the horn loaded options but based on the comments above they are priced pretty high, $1500-2000+ without an amp, vs a $1000 new or $700-800 used SB3000 that will outperform his & most other klipsch subs in every way. plus all the other benefits i mention that yourself & some others dont seem to acknowledge yet are very important when buying a new or used sub. im not brand specific & far from a fan boy of any brand, ive owned a lot of subs & speakers over the years from K-horns to KGs & CF4s & countless others in between, maybe not as many as some on here or as large but ive had my share of pretty decent speakers, subs & audio gear & the suggestions i make are based on my experiences with consumer type subs/speakers. nothing wrong with sharing INFORMATION, im sure many appreciate it, its just totally off topic for this thread & nobody was trying to compare horn sub performance to other common subs. also, who the heck needs 130db in their home!?? i have been to A-list rock concerts that reach into the 120dbs & youre ears are muffled & ringing for days afterwards! back in the late 80's in my city we had a rock band try & set the guiness book world record for loudest concert, they did 127db & it was ridiculous! ive been to coutless rock concerts & tried to recreate that sound level in my home for a long time in my teens & 20s-early 30s... im done with all that now & would never care to have a sub or system to reach into the 120s let alone 130db unless i was throwing a huge party outdoors or in a huge venue.... i have a smaller house in a residential neighborhood!

Selling my Crossover made by Dean G. This version has Audio Caps. I ran this in my K-Horns for several years. It sounds excellent. SOLD.

You're right. I got drawn in by the La Scala's and their lack of bass comments. My mistake. Live and learn.

The facts that are important to me is what I hear, and what I like. We're discussing a hobby here. I'm only doing this for myself. What difference does anything else make other then what makes me happy? As for not caring for my opinion, no worries. It wasn't put out there for you or anybody else to care about it. Rather, just contributing to an ongoing discussion. Enjoy your day.

That took forever. Congrats.

Another great idea for a thread. You are on a roll.

Fair enough. Not at all important to me, but fair enough.

agreed, iv spent a lot of time with lascalas when my sisters x-boyfriend bought a pair brand new, pushed by 200w adcom amp, they were very loud but lacked any real lower bass. most those comments about people saying lascalas have all the bass they need, have usually never heard them with a good sub or a good full range speaker that doesnt drop off at at upper 40h or 50z! bingo! thats what ive been trying to point out in this thread & many others where people get into debates or arguments over speakers or bass or amps etc, everyone wants & needs & likes different things, if youre happy with your lascalas thats all that matters, but realize that they are not producing the lower octaves possible with a good sub... of any type.

Bad mix, not enough rig for the gig, distortion or some combo thereof perhaps.

emotional brand fanboy??? LOL!!! your use of CAPS for so many words is whats EMOTIONAL... you clearly are missing the points i explained & continue the SVS bashing for some strange reason... NOBODY is trying to compare a direct radiating sub to a horn loaded sub! ive said 2 or 3 times now that there are better subs than SVS or any given brand of direct radiator subs, its a simple suggestion for a very good sub with many benefits no other brand or DIY sub has. so you can save youre umbrella of audio physics argument for someone else, nobody here is doubting that. re-read what i said again please... not everyone wants or needs or can build a DIY horn sub & run external amps & crossovers, countless people are more than happy with pre made subs with internal amps & most look way better than a DIY horn sub. in fact i bet 9 out of 10 average people out there use a premade direct rad sub & they are all as happy as can be vs horn loaded subs. & AGAIN, thats fine if thats what YOU prefer or anyone wants or needs, but your horn loaded svs bashing parade is very short & not many people are attending it. theres a reason why SVS & many other sub brands get 5 star reviews & win all kinds of awards... wonder why klipsch & majority of other brands dont make a prebuilt horn loaded consumer sub?? the OP started this thread to comment how his smaller cheap subs benefit the big cornwalls, i simply suggested a better sub thats still rather small if/when he wanted to upgrade. sorry if that offended you.

I understand perfectly well what he's trying to say and I can agree with it in certain situations-- if you really crank your stereo up house parties DJ-ing or maybe in home theater applications if playing at loud levels don't need explosions and such distorting the mains, basically any time you'd be pushing your speakers to the point where they could become strained or distort then yeah, cross them suckers over and use subs for the low end. I cannot believe that the new Cornwall's or forte's cannot handle running full range as designed at moderate levels without distorting to the point that need to be crossed over that would be a poor design and unacceptable at their price points.

Every once in a decade, I feel like I need to endulge in some real heart attack enducing cuisine. Today's meal came from a familiar place, but one I rarely have the chance to go to anymore. Jimmy' Grotto. No big deal. A total dive to go in. But it's literally the only place that I ever heard of around here that makes this one dish. It's called a Ponza Rotta here, but it technically is a Panzerotti. Think of it as your favorite pizza, put on steroids, rolled up like a giant pizza pocket, then deep fried. It's the kind of thing you need to check with your doctor to ask if your healthy enough for this. Better roll up those sleeves, and bring like 12 napkins.

I have been around long enough to understand what Claude was trying to get through and if you can hear your subwoofer you are doing it wrong no matter what style or type.
