SWL Posted July 4, 2018 Share Posted July 4, 2018 Went up to JoeM place and brought home a PAIR of Tuba Subs. The floor is really shaking [emoji4] Initial Measurements show The 50HZ suck out I had before Is GONE. Hey Joe are you using a Mini-DSP or something similar to control those Tubas?For me the magic happened when I got the Mini DSP 2x4 hd to adjust the slope to the subs.Sent from my SM-G950U using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joessportster Posted July 5, 2018 Share Posted July 5, 2018 Not yet right now they are running off my Crown XLS1002 crossing at 100HZ the articulation and impact are unbelievable, Listening to Sheffeild Labs drum track gives me a whole new appreciation for a good sub VS A mediocre one. The tuba absolutely slays my poor ole 12" peerless pair 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

haydukej Posted July 6, 2018 Share Posted July 6, 2018 Picked this up used, so saved a good chunk. It is ridiculously large and thus will be a challenge to hide it from SWMBO. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SWL Posted July 7, 2018 Share Posted July 7, 2018 Nice grab. Lots of juice in that one's veins. Would love to have one. Enjoy!Just fired it up. This amp's got IT. It's got balls at low volumes. The bass. My God THE BASS!Taking it to my tech (Stereo Rehab) tomorrow to go through it and also picking up the matching preamp (Model 3300) that he just restored.This is it. I've always loved Klipsch and Marantz. I don't know why I didn't get these pieces sooner.Christmas in July.

The bass thing is an issue. My mains have never produced the bass that many talk about. Have an SR8002 now, 125 across all channels, Torodial tranformer, last of the AVR's to have it, but doesn't drive the low end, at least to me anyway. Would love to try a 250, or 250M, and see what happens. I think you've just concluded my suspicion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MEH Synergy Posted July 7, 2018 Share Posted July 7, 2018 No offense to any here, but AVRs and dedicated quality integrated stereo amps and separates are Def different animals. Both certainly serve a purpose. Nice looking marantz BTW.... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MEH Synergy Posted July 7, 2018 Share Posted July 7, 2018 I have tried many an AVR and have always found them compressed/processed sounding to my ears, much as an MP3 of my favorite recording might sound. Regardless of what's the specs on paper are or what they have in then, doesn't tell you what they will sound like. B&K makes some killer older gear that you can find used for great bargains and IMO sound amazing for the price. Super cheap sometimes 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MEH Synergy Posted July 7, 2018 Share Posted July 7, 2018 Touche, it was a generalization, not BS. I didn't state that no AVR may be better sounding that separates. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
