LOL. Since we're pretending, I'll pretend I just got back from an awesome mountain bike ride too.

Nice buddy, I like it. You live out west?

 

[lovinthehd]

What subs you running?

In what room ? Mostly DIY. Like this

Like the sub. I figured you were out west with it being sunny still, I’m in Ohio

LOL that pic was not from today. Although it is sunny out now, cleared up from a very gray day earlier. Nor did I go for a mountain bike ride, my knee's been acting up.

I use a computer when I upload pics, never tried it on a phone but there's a button on tapatalk to add a new photo so probably pretty straightforward....do you use tapatalk?

No I don’t use that

No I don’t use that

I think tapatalk is easier than using the site directly....on a phone at least.

You would need to place the equalizer in the signal chain before an analog input on the receiver. That means it can only be used on one of the input channels. Higher-end AVRs can sometimes have equalizers built into their processing software, and this would affect almost all of the inputs. You could also place an outboard equalizer after a pre-out on the AVR and send the equalized signal to an outboard amplifier, and that would EQ any of the sound coming from the AVR, of course.

Hey shady. You think I need four vtf3’s or two would be enough in my room?

Well, you can start with two and upgrade to four later if you find that two isn't cutting it for you. Personally, I would go for four, not because that many is needed, but because that would be a totally ass-kicking system.

How’s vtf3 compared to pb2000?

Hmm you are quoting yourself.

The VTF3 is a ported 15in woofer so the PB2000 with only a 12in is not going to be anywhere close to it.

Your right

I don’t want massive boxes like a pb-16, solid extension to 20hz or lower and my listening room is 2000 cubic ft but the left side of it opens up to the rest of basement so maybe a total of 5-6000 cubic ft. My speakers are rp-260f 440c 240s’s n 150m’s for rears

If the usage is mostly movies...even if it weren't I'd still go for the VTF series...The depth extension on the VTF is better and they are just as musical as the ULS series...they might be large, but they're much quicker and tighter than subs of old so imo unless it's a size issue or it's a 100% music system and you won't ever need the extra extension I'd always get a ported sub.

Midbase does favor the ULS series, but I typically like my mains floorstanders picking up mid bass.

I have just south of 2800 cu ft so a similar sized room also opening to other space. I have two VTF3 mk5 in my system and they barely break a sweat...due to localization issues I didn't stay with one sub on the front wall and one nearfield.

I do want a near field sub so I can see a day when I add a 3rd for that purpose (no need for a 4th the way the room is shaped).

You're well on your way to a killer system with four!

Mid-bass actually does not favor the ULS subs. The VTF-3 and VTF15h would still have a slight advantage in this range. However, if you were primarily interested in mid-bass frequency output, it wouldn't be worth dealing with the extra size of the ported subs for just an extra decibel in output.

All other things being equal, sealed subwoofers do not normally have an output advantage in any traditional subwoofer band frequencies, i.e., anything below 200 Hz.

"Need" has nothing to do with it. It's all about want!
