gigbyt Posted February 14, 2017 Author Share Posted February 14, 2017 just a general get together of people into audio and gear. sometimes there are demonstrations and comparisons and tutorials on different matters realting to stereo. everyones in invited, there is stuff for sale, gear, records, turntables ,tube stuff etc. its in a big mill building, 2-3 floors sometimes.(depends on whats available for unused space.) people bring food, and stereos to set up and listen to. Its an all around good day if your into audio, ht, 2ch etc. no audio snobbery, good people to chat with. you can bring a system to show off if youd like, you would need to bring your own table for such things. Usually theres a guy there that checks minor gear issues and does minor repairs or you can work something out if its bigger repair issues. Come and have a good time, bring a friend. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

derrickdj1 Posted February 21, 2017 Share Posted February 21, 2017 We are back to a basic question, what do you want out of the bass system or subwoofer/s. It is easy to say I want a kick *** bass system but, that is not the right question.. The bass system is the most troublesome part of the system. Where should the XO be, I love my mains and want them to be showcased, etc. I truly can't offer an easy solution. The main are no more important than a good sub in the system. They have to work together. There are no great drivers, etc. it all has to blend. Blend seems to come up often. I can't over state, putting together a system is about all the part, not just the spec's on one component unless that is the only thing being used. With that said, using only one component will not get you there even if you think you are there. The real question is where do you want to be. There is nothing magical about the Mains being dominant or having a well blended system. Each can be breath taking if done right. First and for most, the main speaker are not special. They are a piece in the system like all the other pieces. the supporting or supporting gear How and you employ them is special and is dependent on the supporting gear. It's not good or bad, it just a fact of reality and should be looked at that way. Don't underestimate your gear, most are well capable of getting you there an you don't need to go broke of the uber gear. Nothing wrong with uber cost gear, except you don't have to break the bank to get there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
