So, when you have a speaker like a B&W 685, do you have to add a small subwoofer to it? Aurel, didn't you say that was your preferred set-up?

2 smaller speakers with a sub?

if I had a super large room i would want a sub ... but otherwise a pair of small speakers with decent lows would do.

 

[dorian gray]

bookshelf?

as in: http://www.psbspeakers.com/products/bookshelf-speakers/Imagine-B-Bookshelf

in a medium sized living room, you could go without a sub?

 

[Krilons Resa]

like everything...it depends. depends on the room, the speakers, the music you listen to, etc. its a fucking bitch to correctly phase a sub with speakers though. you want it to be coherent. you shouldn't even know that there is a sub in the system unless you shut it off.

however, no matter what, any bookshelf will NEVER have enough bass impact/slam for heavy metal, large scale symphonic shit, kickdrums thru the chest, etc.....if that's what you crave. You can get it to be satisfying anyway.

Not like you'll ever buy anything anyway dorian. also, even if you did (unscathed) it's not like you'd ever have the opportunity to truly open them up like that anyway.

it's not like you'd ever have the opportunity to truly open them up

(the boxes containing the speakers)


(before being forced to return them)



(to get a new dishwasher or something)

LOL

I meant volume-wise .... but you're also right on the money.

 

[lurch70]

i sold my entire rig btw

something I "want" will replace it ... "soon" ...

LOL @ dorian speaker shopping.

and yeah ... opening up a big rig is like never going to happen in my apt. realistically my pc speakers with the sub play waaaay to loud.

 

[Krilons Resa]

jesus christ, lurch.

 

[lurch70]

i don't mess around ...

[Krilons Resa]

Lurch...pick this up: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Vintage-Lux...pt=Vintage_Electronics_R2&hash=item41644e96b2

My father has the same one and it's really great. He paid $1000 for it in 1979.

 

[lurch70]

hahah ... thanks but I am going to try to stay with current year models.

will probably pick up a network receiver ... which and when is to be determined

 

[Krilons Resa]

wtf is a network receiver?

you'll just sell it.

 

[lurch70]

hahah ...

it's a typical receiver however it also streams internet radio and you can access your pc drive for all the illegal downloads
it has wi-fi built in.

for example ...
