Zargathos Posted January 27, 2006 Share Posted January 27, 2006 I've always wanted a pair of Belle Klipsch, but if I ever run into some bucks, I won't rule out the possibility. For dreaming a dreamy dream planning purposes, what is recommended as a good matching subwoofer? Feel free to list various types, price ranges. Remember, this is a dream....

cjgeraci Posted January 27, 2006 Share Posted January 27, 2006 I run a SVS PB12-ISD/2. It makes a great match for Belles and runs about $900 (plus shipping). Carl. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arky Posted January 28, 2006 Share Posted January 28, 2006 Bump for Gene The article Bob posted is great. Thought others might have missed it since it is kind of buried. Will someone please tell me how to include a link in a post. JT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kdepot Posted January 29, 2006 Share Posted January 29, 2006 What are the thoughts regarding a sub to match well with the Belles for music in a medium sized room at a moderate cost? What would match well with the dynamics of the horn loaded bass? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seti Posted January 29, 2006 Share Posted January 29, 2006 I have one I don't use it all the time. My Belles are in corners and when I tell friends Belles are not supposed to be that good at bass they look at me like I am from Mars. I have my sub SET for 70hz-18hz and it is not so much a hearing the bass as feeling the bass. When I start building a home theater the sub will go from listening room to home theater. I have only been running my sub for about 8 months but I don't feel it makes or breaks the system but it is nice having that super low end filler that you feel more than hear.

edwinr Posted December 8, 2006 Share Posted December 8, 2006 Bump. An interesting thread, particularly for HDBR Builder's story about the origin of the Heritage range. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldbuckster Posted December 8, 2006 Share Posted December 8, 2006 How much Bass do you think you should get? Some of you use way too much Bass, I know I'll get hate mail for that, How much is enough Bass? It seems to be an endless subject.................BASS is not suppose to overpower the rest of the Music, but some like it that way. I have never heard Belles, but Khorns and La scala's sometimes have enough Bass, and sometimes they don't. I think alot depends on how they are being powered. Here's where I'll get in trouble, SET's, in my very limited hearing time with them, lacked Bass, never have heard VRD's, so no comment, now SS, it depends on output..............100 watts per of SS is sometimes weak on Bass, 100 watts per of McIntosh SS gives you all the Bass you want, the higher the wattage rating the better the Bass with SS..............just my un-trained ears telling me what I hear, actually, do you hear low Bass, or do you Feel low Bass?......................I think you feel it.......................not hear it...............Correct me if I'm wrong...........................

Audio Flynn Posted December 9, 2006 Share Posted December 9, 2006 Andy, I love to read your posts. Whenever you make a post or reply to an existing thread, it reminds me of the elementary school days when the recess bell would ring, and it was time again to go back to the classroom and learn something. Thanks. YUP! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Audio Flynn Posted December 9, 2006 Share Posted December 9, 2006 Bob, Thanks for the article but could you post the rest of the article...? : ) I was just getting into that so I guess I need to buy the book. I bought my Belles because I was in an apartment and was never sure where I would be living. I have been so happy with the Belles they sound and look beautiful. I also have a sub but the Belles folded bass horn is great without it. I always hear people complain about lack of bass in La Scala and Belle but I don 't think the difference is really that great. When people hear my system and I mention that some people say they don't have enough bass they just sort look at me like "your kidding right". The folded bass horns are awsome thanks PWK. Mine do everything I throw at them so "just right" for my taste that all non audio folks that come by like them. The Belles do not do the kick drum as nice as the Chorus II but mid of Chorus II does not come close to the Belle. It would take a new room in a new house for me to get into K Horns. I really do not want the poor WAF of a massive sub in the living room. Only one I would consider as an experiment is on of the tiny Sunfire or Definitive 10 inch cubes. Then I would most likely torture myself worring about needing to put the sub right next to my stereo stand, and the vibrations and... ggrr.
