    How do inadequate speakers handle low Hz?

    I'm just curious as to what happens when my speakers that are rated to go down to 64Hz get signals lower than that? Will they not play the sound at all? Or is it more of a roll-off? I know 64Hz isn't much for handling low frequencies at all but to me it seems these (Tannoy 501A studio...

    Need some advice on cables.

    The reason I am running my sound from the PreSonus interface to the sub that is 20ft away and then back 20ft from the sub to the studio monitors is because the PB-1000 sub will cut out 80Hz and below of frequencies that go back out to my SM's, helping to maximize their output without having to...

    Need some advice on cables.

    Great thank you :) Just found everything I need on that site but question?...Are these good quality cables? Will I not need to worry about any interference? They seem really cheap in price compared to say Monster name brand cables.

    Need some advice on cables.

    This is what I have: A pair of Tannoy 501A studio monitors. SVS PB-1000 sub in the mail. PresSonus Audiobox USB external interface. I need some good long cables (20ft,) to run from my PC's external interface (balanced 1/4" output,) to my subwoofers RCA inputs. Also, I need to run 20ft of RCA...

    Which of these low-end subs to choose from?

    Thanks for that Steve81. I called SVS and they returned my call within 2 minutes on a Sunday...awesome! I sure like that SB1000 because of its small footprint but the low frequencies of the PB1000 will be better for the bass that's in dubstep and other electronic music so I'm going with that...

    Which of these low-end subs to choose from?

    Gonna be honest, I don't know what any of that really means. I've been trying to find a beginners guide on google and youtube on dB, frequencies, and crossover pertaining to home audio. It hasn't been easy. Either what I find is too complex or too simple. If anyone knows a good guide or a...

    Which of these low-end subs to choose from?

    I checked out the dimensions of this sub and it will fit under my desk but just barely. It's so close that because of the 20" depth of the sub the driver will be firing less than two inches into a wooden face...and there probably wont be any room in the back for the cables sticking out. Plus...

    Which of these low-end subs to choose from?

    After looking at all the recommended subs in my $ range and that fit my needs in physical and mechanical necessities...I've pretty much narrowed it down to the HSU STF-2. I hear nothing but good things about this sub when it comes to its accuracy in sound. My only regard is it is a continuous...

    Which of these low-end subs to choose from?

    Sorry for the long delay but work had most of my time occupied recently. I don't think I can use this one since it does not have any speaker outputs in it. My PreSonus Audiobox USB external soundcard only has a R/L out that are going to my studio monitors. I'm going to have to run my L/R...

    Which of these low-end subs to choose from?

    No, I didn't buy one yet. I bought a pair of Tannoy 501a and realized that patience is a virtue when trying to match good bass with good sound. I'm going to avoid the cheaper subs and go for something that may produce better results to match these Tannoy's. My limit however is $400 for the...

    $300-$600 to upgrade my computer speakers...help please!

    True. But I also had two 24" monitors side by side and one just took a dive last week. I was going to replace it but decided to keep only one and make room for larger studio monitors...glad I did too! Music is soooo much more important than my laziness in minimizing windows lol!:rolleyes...

    $300-$600 to upgrade my computer speakers...help please!

    I just got back from guitar center and what a fun trip. I was able to test out Yamaha, the KRK Rokit - both the 5's and 6's, Mackie, and Tannoy, and like one or two more. The Tannoy's stole the show. You guys were right, wattage isn't accurate in determining how loud a speaker can play. For...

    Which of these low-end subs to choose from?

    I really don't know what would be best for my situation so I'm asking for help here. I'd like to keep the budget around $200, my room is small -around 450 square feet and not rectangular, my desk is somewhat in the middle where the sub will go under near my feet or under my nearby bed as long...

    @ShadyJ and Agarwalro, Thank you both for answering my questions and giving me some different examples on how to go about things. One thing you both mentioned is that I can't accurately measure how loud a speaker can be based off the watts. Is there another indicator I can go off of? Based on...

    Sorry, got confused the name on the Airmotiv5's...not "Emotiva5's" :) And that NHT 2.1 is very tempting! The Superpowers themselves look great at each one delivering 90W. The driver is only 4.5" though so a sub would be ideal and I'm sure that Super8 would do just fine. At $750 it is above...

    Lots of really great replies and suggestions, thank you to all. I can't properly respond right now since I'm on a quick lunch break but here's a few an update and a few questions... I have an S/PDIF RCA outlet on the back of my motherboard. I'm guessing this would be the preferred method of...

    Okay so I think I may be able to narrow things down a bit. In my OP I listed the dimensions of what I can handle as far as resting space for the speakers. There are two 24" LCD's side by side just to give you a visual of why smaller would be better. After a few reads, it seams that without a...

    @ ShadyJ Yes, I saw this thread am re-reading it again. One thing I am curious about is the output jacks of my soundcard/motherboard have only one output for both L/R front, one for both L/R rear and a center/subwoofer output. How would I properly convert this into a DAC with specific L and R...
