Dave A Posted February 14, 2018 Share Posted February 14, 2018 Well as the subtopic heading says subwoofers of all flavors so I ask. I want a good subwoofer and I have been offered some EV TL-770's. The specs are pretty good and seem to be quite close to Klipsch 884's. Does anyone have knowledge of these preferably you have heard them? How about the quality in general with EV?

Dave A Posted February 14, 2018 Author Share Posted February 14, 2018 Music. I am strictly a 2 channel guy but love organ music. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CECAA850 Posted February 14, 2018 Share Posted February 14, 2018 They start to drop off pretty fast at 40Hz but with room gain should give you the lower part of organ music. I've never heard them but I would think that they'd sound like a typical ported pro box. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave A Posted February 14, 2018 Author Share Posted February 14, 2018 This is what puzzles me about this kind of literature. It also says " High acoustic output to below 20 Hz" and to me that means far lower than 40HZ and still at more than adequate volume levels and " High output ability in the 20- to 40-Hz range is also ideal for very-low-frequency synthesized effects, down-tuned bass guitars or pipe organ" which is exactly what I want. Would you also consider the Klipsch 884 to be in the typical ported pro box category? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The frequency chart contradicts slightly with the marketing spin. Room gain will help greatly there. The 884 is only down 3dB at 27 hz. It should sound the same buy go lower with more linearity with maybe less output. In a living room it should have more than enough output so that's really a non issue.

If you have the room for some 48" x 30" x 24" subwoofers, I think you should get them and rattle your windows. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave A Posted February 14, 2018 Author Share Posted February 14, 2018 Funny you mention that. I had turned up a pair of KP-450's I bought the other day and the objects on my sheet metal table close by were hopping right along with the music. I bet the TL-770's would dump them on the floor.
