    Adding a sub woofer with a pair of 15As

    For vertical subs you are not looking to add more extension, but rather that elusive 3D bass sensation and of course smoothness. I am now in discussions with one German Trinnov HT specialist- Merovinger OnWall 2.2 Lautsprechersystem | Audio-Freak they can build 15 in dual woofer sub...

    Adding a sub woofer with a pair of 15As

    I have different approach, but also throwing more subs in is a solution. I do believe in proper sub placement, acoustics and DRC. 1600X are ideal compromise - 15in, fast woofer, sealed, in room well below 18Hz. And Trinnov is able to squeeze last drop out of them. All I am saying, that there...

    Anyone use the wireless kit from Martin Logan? The SWT-X Wireless Subwoofer Kit

    I use all my dynamos in front firing confguration. Yes, control panel downwards is pretty awakward but you can get L shaped RCA and XLR connectors, and if you are into power cable stuff, there is L adapter from Audioquest for around 20 eur. I like front firing better, for all the reasons you...

    Adding a sub woofer with a pair of 15As

    At some point this starts to be a waste of assets, as by stacking the subs relatively near to each other, you are just increasing the amplitude, as you already have reached reference levels. [it does not make any difference whether you have 21 or 24dB headroom], it will still not get you nearer...

    ARC In Speakers...

    I assume it will be PC/MAC based app, where you will import final filters to AVR. Similar to today's Multeq-X PC app for Audyssey. Maybe somebody like @ttocs can chime in re Emotiva/Dirac, I believe it will be similar setup.

    ARC In Speakers...

    only for new models as paid upgrade really looking forward to DIRAC release - finally we will see apples to apples comparison of 2 DRC systems. I am still following Audyssey news in the backgroun, and it seems they have really upped their game with the new PC app (which should be working on...

    ARC In Speakers...

    Just run Room Perfect. No need to run ARC first - rather the opposite. RP is very powerful and sophisticated system, it does not need any help from ARC. You can help it in the analogue domain by having subs and speakers placed properly. All of the DRC systems will achieve very similar results...

    Room Correction

    My experience with MSO was similar at the beginning. What helped was to narrow gain/delay options for the SW - I have equalized gain via REW measurements and let only minimal boosts. FR is not ruler flat, but sound much better, anyway I look at it only up to approx 120Hz. look for fattire on...

    Room Correction

    It is beyond Audyssey capabilities. And this is one of the reasons, why it more often than not sounds bad after DRC. Audyssey is notorioulsy bad above 300Hz, you need either Dirac or even something even more sophisticated like Trinnov to make it sound really good. If you would use PC as a...

    Amp Break-in

    Thermal stabilization is normal parameter. Audible, measurable. More on some types of amps, less on the others. Re-calibrating here and there is generally a good practice. And differences in results can be huge, but most likely caused by different mic placement. Also your usual AV receiver mic...

    Expression 13A, Source, Motion series Atmos tops and sides

    And last but not least - waiting for THIS, had a chance to hear it in Barcelona. And it is completely different league to whatever I had chance to witness before - 0.1s decay time all over the bass FR - best way to describe - all the energy that you feel for 0.5-0.7s concentrated into 1 snap of...

    Expression 13A, Source, Motion series Atmos tops and sides

    Rear and side wall [in different moments] - on the upper picture you can see 2 diffusion plate added on corner bass traps. As some say - "IT IS ALWAYS THE ROOM" - and they are right. Now I can start to tidy things up - appropriate cabling [Mogami], putting all the subs on Isoacoustics Gaias...

    Expression 13A, Source, Motion series Atmos tops and sides

    Bit of changes: Sources replaced by Motion 35i's one 1100X added and 2x 1600x ordered as replacement for 2x1100, so "final" setup will be 4x 1600+ 3x 1100 + 1x 800x. I have worked a bit on the acoustics side - and now I think I am where I need to be - side walls are treated by cylindric...

    Expression 13A, Source, Motion series Atmos tops and sides

    So, finalized my setup this weekend - final 9.6.7 in 32 sqm, will add some photos tomorrow. Need to say it sounds really amazing, compered to heights based on Motion 4i. I think I am done for now. I jut need to clean up this endless mess, that are my cables. I have created one Sub Array in...

    Expression 13A, Source, Motion series Atmos tops and sides

    No, I have 2.0 still [bought it just before the latest price hike in June 22]. I have upgraded DAC board and it was pretty straight forward, while drinking some coffee at the dealership [but it is 30 min drive for me]. I assume HDMI and extension board will be the same process. No idea about...

    Absorption or Diffusion?

    His front wall actually IS treated with all the books. And as it seems he has some distance to side walls. And we do not see how far is his listening position from the rear wall, if he has enough space, it is also beneficial for overall acoustics. There are rooms that are naturally very...

    Expression 13A, Source, Motion series Atmos tops and sides

    Time for some update [ @Reverb @JonFo - maybe time to move my thread to "adults" part of the forum, but I am also happy to be still considered newbie] 1) Acoustics - somehow I believe I am where I need to be - thanks to 2 major changes - I have darkened the windows with film, I could remove 1...

    Martin Logan 13A's and a subwoofer pairing question.

    Most of the perceived bass qualities are connected with room response and integration of subs with mains. Of course once you clear the hurdle of having decent sub, which both Dynamos and BF do with ease. Best subs in the room full of modes will play poorly.

    Name a Streamer that offers Playlist Functionality.

    Same here LINN for streaming with LINN app. Works great with Trinnov.

    2023 arrival of new Marantz Processor - AV 10

    I think this is pitched directly against Emotiva, Monolith and maybe even Storm Audio. 16CH from Trinnov is based on Ice Power modules, actually nothing for me, I have gone with Purifi for screen Speakers and Ncore for rest. But Dirac with DLBC will be a good proposition for Marantz users. Re...
