askbob1 Posted October 25, 2009 Author Share Posted October 25, 2009 Ok, I must now eat my words... Well, most of them![] The JL was pretty impressive once, uh, cough,cough, set up properly. It was atleast half as much more loud, and played low like I originally had anticipated. The BG still sounded smoother and more natural to me. Definitely more 'audiophile' sounding. It was a little less loud at high volumes, but clearly impressive for a 10" woofer. I never would have guessed it. Less boomy would be a nice description.

DrWho Posted October 25, 2009 Share Posted October 25, 2009 The dealer where I auditioned the JL called me today and said that after the factory rep came by, they discovered the set-up mic was messed up. Apparently the mic was only allowing 150hz and up to be played. Obviously this is why I was so disappointed in the lack of performance. What does a microphone have to do with the subwoofer? If it was for Audyssey, then everything below 150Hz would have been boosted....resulting in too much bass. I guess I'm not understanding the problem...especially if you listened with Audyssey off (which should be the method used for all comparisons).

askbob1 Posted October 26, 2009 Author Share Posted October 26, 2009 The calibration mic that comes with the JL is what I was referring to. The sub I listened to constantly moves from dealer to dealer, so it was probably messed up somewhere along its travels... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Klipsch Employees Trey Cannon Posted October 30, 2009 Klipsch Employees Share Posted October 30, 2009 We found the same results when testing the JL sub here. I disslike the "set my system up for me" softwear. Not much of it works very well, a lest not the ones I have used. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
