    Finding the right Subwoofer

    I have a question, if the frequency response on the PB1000 is so flat why is it considered to perform best in the 'low' range? It looks flat until about 200hz is this still considered lower bass?

    Finding the right Subwoofer

    So I completely rearranged my room too maximize my sound system. In general it sounds great but I maintain my initial impression of the PB1000. It seems specifically designed for frequencies between about 50hz and 20hz and it does an amazing job at those. Its almost like after about 50hz it just...

    Finding the right Subwoofer

    Things are going well with the SVS sub. Was wondering if either of you guys have experience with Ascend CBM 170se speakers? I might replace my BA A40s with them.

    Denon Audio App for iPhone

    Just curious if anyone uses this app for its equalizer? Pretty impressive for a 2$ app I think, also tells you which artists in your library are on tour. Opinions?

    Finding the right Subwoofer

    Bah alright I may do that but I think I'm going to miss the amazingly deep, clean bass from this thing haha, it really is impressive. I think I'll probably just save up money to upgrade my speakers to something that fills in the missing mid/upper range bass. Thanks for the help again

    Finding the right Subwoofer

    Hm well I still have time to return it lol. I'm thinking maybe its worth the extra dough to get the VTF2 instead. Since its made such a big difference already to my system, having that VTF Q control might allow me to get the punch I want for music. The dayton package has free shipping though...

    Finding the right Subwoofer

    So since SVS has the one year trade up policy its possible I may do that at some point. Any thoughts on the PB and SB12NSD's. ShadyJ do you think either of these would give me more mid/upper level punch for electronic music? Or would I need to go to an even higher model? Just a thought

    Finding the right Subwoofer

    Realizing my music sounds so much better as a whole that I don't even crave the loud bass haha. I played with my speaker positioning more and the balance on my amp and the atmosphere is amazing.

    Finding the right Subwoofer

    Alright so this is a less technical question haha but how loud do you think I can turn this thing? Anyone have one of these personally? As I said I can only get it to around 1/3 volume before I think I might damage it. Any warning signs that a sub is being pushed too hard?

    Finding the right Subwoofer

    I actually really like to be able to adjust them independently but yea I might look into that. Huge Huge difference though from that change, all my music sounds like music again. lol Thanks for all the help

    Finding the right Subwoofer

    Finding the right Subwoofer

    OK so connected it up like you said. I can only turn the sub to about 1/3 volume now or I'm afraid to damage it lol. So if i get this right its only sending frequencies higher than 80Hz to the amp now? And I can still adjust the low pass on the sub to blend better with my speakers i guess. Not...

    Finding the right Subwoofer

    Again I have little experience with this but, my Rotel is rated at only 60 watts per channel (2) (this is pretty conservative since I usually only turn the volume to 1/3 before it gets very loud) vs the PB at 300watts, what does this do to the sound if anything? Would wiring the source through...

    Finding the right Subwoofer

    Thanks for the responses. Yea I probably do need some education thats why Im on here lol. Since I dont have an FMOD currently, I might try connecting my source (ipod) to the sub inputs and then I guess I run it from the line level out with both right and lefts to one of the inputs on the amp? Im...

    Finding the right Subwoofer

    The Rotel ra 1062 has a 'Contour' control which has 5 settings and I frequently keep it on the LH setting (thats the sound I like) which is 2x boosted bass and 1x boosted treble. I don't know what the actually frequencies it boosts at are and how much but its probably in the specs. The High pass...

    Finding the right Subwoofer

    K so been a while since I posted. I got my PB 1000 late last week and I've been rearranging speakers, testing, etc since then. I got my speakers on stands and relocated them which has made a significant improvement in the sound. I can't really tell if I like the PB1000 or not, on some songs it...

    Finding the right Subwoofer

    Ordered the PB1000 and it should be here sometime next week. I'm pumped:). Hopefully it will serve my needs musically and movie-wise. Not sure what I should set the low pass filter to or the phase to but I'll play with it. I plan to put it in the corner of my room with the most wall space next...

    Finding the right Subwoofer

    Ordered the pb1000 should be here sometime next week. Pretty psyched :). Only question I have now is how exactly will I connect it to my Rotel 1062? Right and left Pre-Outs with RCA to the right and left inputs on the pb1000? Or can I just use a single RCA cable like this...

    Looking for some good earbuds and some kind of Spotify-supporting MP3 player

    I might get some fuss for this but I think the Klipsch S4's are some of the best earbuds for the price. I've tried a few other brands around that price and they didn't compare. Only complaint about these is they are not very durable (wires are thin and sort of delicate) so they are not the best...
