boa12 Posted February 5, 2001 Author Share Posted February 5, 2001 will do rw. should be about 2 wks. if your your mrs. likes the 12, she'd have to really love the 18. of course there's that extra 1k or so though but u have to get the 15 or 18 to get the standard remote which you'll need for the switching between HT (w/ your new rsw-15) & music wonder how an HGS-18 & the rsw-15 will sound together/maybe just about right...

TVodhanel Posted February 6, 2001 Share Posted February 6, 2001 >>>Your suggestion on the 16-46 is one that I have considered myself and even better 2 of those hooked in a push-pull will deliver your stereo bass(?) and cut distortion in half.<<< I wouldn't worry much about *stereo* bass in the bandwidths usually associated with HT subs(<80hz) THD won't be cut in half at any given level. It may be reduced by 20% at a moderate volume level(if the 1st sub isn't working too hard--it wont produce much THD to begin with.)and it may be reduced by >50% at more common DVD listening levels. >>>If kept near eachother they will also provde a 6 DB gain over just the one. This could possibly even eliminate the need for the Velodyne's music only use with the cleanliness of the dual subs in a push pull configuration. I think it would take 2 or more 16-46's to match the HGS 18's output though.<<< Well, a dual 16-46/700w amp package = $1375ish delivered...less than half the retail on a HGS18.The dual SVs wouldn't have much more *footprint* than the single VEL...although we'd be much taller if that's a factor. Dual 16-46s should be at LEAST the equal to the hGS18...I'd think we'd have a(t least) 50% clean output advantage <50hz. TV Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boa12 Posted February 6, 2001 Author Share Posted February 6, 2001 wondered about that "stereo" sub concept. anyway, hey tv. what are the placement recommends for your powered subs - specifically, the distance from wall if any? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RWMIN Posted February 7, 2001 Share Posted February 7, 2001 Is a 50% advantage about 3 DB? Regardless that is a great price for that kind of output TV. I sure do like your informative feedback exspecially since our moderator was taken hostage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boa12 Posted February 7, 2001 Author Share Posted February 7, 2001 i checked www.svsubwoofers.com again & i think answered my last ? the sv have 1 port & it's on top, so it shouldn't require being placed 4-8 in. out from a wall, correct?

boa12 Posted February 14, 2001 Author Share Posted February 14, 2001 rw, the 18 arrived today! man what a monster! don't realize how much bigger in size it is til it's sitting in your living room. it is the definitely the ticket already. much more impact - very noticeable. yet still just as tight as the 15 & even seems "quicker" - don't let anyone tell u an 18" is "too slow". it's the loudness that counts & the added db blends perfect w/ those loud rf-3. when it burns in a lil, I may even up the output from 3 to 5 interesting w/ this unit, w/ the output control all the way down, it does nothing. thought it was DOA. but as soon as I moved the control just like one notch man did it come to life. ------------------ RF-3 (front), RC-3, Cornwall I (rear) Velodyne HGS-18 sub Monsterbass 400 sub cables & Monster Z-12 speak wire Sony de935 a/v receiver Sony DVP-C650D dvdp Sony Trinitron 27" tv Technics dual cassette deck Technics direct drive turntable Scientific Atlanta Explorer 2000 digital cable box rock on!

Perferably a corner near the key seats,without any adjacent openings nearby. >>>Is a 50% advantage about 3 DB? Regardless that is a great price for that kind of output TV.<<< Yes, 50%=3dB. I agree, good cost/performance ratio. >>> I sure do like your informative feedback exspecially since our moderator was taken hostage.<<< Probably getting ready for the rollout of the new Klipsch woofs---a madman R/D-ed them ya know. They should be great! TV Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
