justrelaxing Posted May 6, 2002 Share Posted May 6, 2002 I have not finished my basement. That is where I eventually will have my main setup. It is still about 2 yrs from being done. I have a older Denon Rec and Polk Audio speakers and a Klipsch center speaker. Dont have a lot of space for getting a sub. Will a EQ work or is it by far better to skip that and try my best to find space for a sub? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j-malotky Posted May 6, 2002 Share Posted May 6, 2002 It is always better to design and build a room to have the best performance for your speakers, with a flat response curve, with the least number of nulls. Its all math. If this is possible, skip the EQ. There is a lot of help on this BBS to help you acheve this. There is nothing better than having your equipment in a room that sounds GREAT.

zandern Posted May 6, 2002 Share Posted May 6, 2002 Find a place for the sub. No matter how big your speakers are, no matter how many woofers you have, nothing can replace a sub. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mr.bob Posted May 6, 2002 Share Posted May 6, 2002 well, just to throw in different opinion i have a pair of late 60's vintage k-horns that i'm driving with a citation 22 amp (200 watts per channel). i'm also using an alesis 1/3 octave EQ that i mainly use to boost the low end below 62hz (as much as +8 at 31 and 40hz). only paid $75 for it used. can't live without it, the difference is incredible! there might be subwoofers out there that will outperform my setup, but i haven't heard them. wouldn't even want to guess what they would cost... ------------------ mr.bob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NOZ Posted May 10, 2002 Share Posted May 10, 2002 I have La scalas as my main front speakers and I find with music I have to eq them, but with HT there is no need to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
