Schu Posted October 23, 2021 Posted October 23, 2021 FINALLY my Astell&Kern came in... Equipped with four ess9068 dac chips and a Korg Nutube... you can select between the OP amp and the tube amp... or several levels of mixed amplification. 3 1 Quote

Dave MacKay Posted October 25, 2021 Posted October 25, 2021 I bought an SVS SB1000 Pro subwoofer. I'm using the subwoofer with my La Scalas and driving them from a Yamaha R-N803 receiver. Currently I crossover to the subwoofer at 100Hz. Previously I'd been using a Klipch Synergy subwoofer that I got at Best Buy years ago. The sound from that was quite muddy and unimpressive. The SVS is in a whole different league: the sound is tight and crisp. I'm planning to build a Bill Fitzmaurice-designed THTLP but supply chain problems will delay that until the new year. But I'm so pleased with the SVS that the THTLP will have to be really fantastic to replace the SVS SB1000 Pro. Quote

I have the SVS PC-2000 Pro crossed at 50HZ. 1 2 Quote

Shakeydeal Posted October 25, 2021 Posted October 25, 2021 Remember, depending on the slope of your low pass xover, the sub will play up almost another octave. I am crossing my 15" HSU subs at 30 Hz with my LS IIs, subs located in the corners behind the speakers. This is a perfect match in my room and system. 100 Hz would wreak havoc with what the LS does so well on it's own. At least that's my opinion and I'm sticking with it. 2 Quote
MEH Synergy Posted October 25, 2021 Posted October 25, 2021 In theory, 30 hz crossover from La scalas would be the speakers running in full range with a notable gap between LA scala bottom range and the subwoofer. I cross my subs at 40 hz with my jbls. Any higher, I get an additive, summed effect on the bass that is too prominent in certain frequencies. I'm sure you are aware, but it would seem your wreaking havoc comment may have to do with phase cancelations? Those sealed subs you have I would think would have a smooth handoff to and from the speakers when positioned and dialed in properly? 100 hz might cause issues with boominees and location perhaps. Lot of room between 30 hz and there though.... Just my thoughts. 1 Quote
Shakeydeal Posted October 25, 2021 Posted October 25, 2021 My room has always supported low bass extremely well with any speaker. Even so, I was surprised to hear how much bass the LS II has in here. I haven’t measured, but I’d say they are getting into the mid 40s with ease. Normally I would agree that 30 Hz is too low, but it works in my room. Quote
oldtimer Posted October 25, 2021 Posted October 25, 2021 The mid 40's is around what an electric bass will go. If you only listen to music which has an electric bass as the low, then all is fine.

Joecoulson Posted October 26, 2021 Posted October 26, 2021 SVS SB16 Ultra is anything but a toy. Most any of their products are fantastic value. Shame there are folks who are ignorant. Quote
