Anybody know the shipping weight of a Stryke AV15? Thanks Steve

Ever wondered what the Radio Shack SPL meter frequency response looks like in graphic form? Cheers Steve

I've been using an external sub amp, but want to replace it with a spare plate amp I have since it has a phase control which I need. However, my plate amp has an auto-on which I hate (not sensitive enough) and a too high rumble filter (30Hz). And it isn't that good an amp anyway. Are these...

Just wondering how those of you with separate stand slone sub amps (QSC etc) are dealing with phase control. Cheers Steve

Anyone have any recommendations for well recorded reggae? Steve

I'm sure there is a reason one shouldn't run two inputs into one amplifier channel. Can someone re-enlighten me to what that reason is? Thanks Steve

There's was an interesting aside from Michael Bishop of Telarc recently at Audio Asylum in which he states that all universal players with bass management or level controls, and in fact all SACD players with digital bass management, convert the signal to PCM...

I have four Adire DPL12 woofers and one of them has developed a buzz which I noticed while playing some tone sweeps. I did not play the sweeps inordinately loud. The buzzing goes up and down with frequency and sounds like something is rubbing against something else. Interestingly, I turned...

I want to try stuffing the port on my EBS Shiva to try it out sealed, with a view to replacing the Shiva with a DPL12. So what's thes best )reversible) way to stuff a port. TIA Steve

Following on from the Pioneer Bass Management thread, is there a truly accurate test disc. I have an AIX DVD-A test disc, and a Telarc SACD test disc, plus the internal tones on the Pioneer and they are all slightly different. The Telarc one has the biggest difference, with the LFE tone...

I've just given birth to new speakers and have lit up a new website to celebrate. Feel free to check it out. Steve

I've noticed in a couple of posts that you have mentioned leaving one of the coils open on your DPL12s to raise the QTC, with EQ advantages At the moment I have the coils on mine in parallel, and then the two drivers in parallel., per side. What is the advantage of leaving a coil open...

Hi, I have a question for owners of Sony receivers about the EQ capabilities. Firstly, is it possible to apply EQ for all the channels when using the 5.1 inputs. I realise this would mean redigitizing. Secondly, last time I owned a Sony product (777ES) it was possible to apply up to...

My EBS aligned Shiva farts on very deep bass. It isn't really volume related but is, I assume, the driver unloading. So I want more depth. So I'm thinking of blocking the vent to make a sealed sub, and possibly swapping out the Shiva for an Adire DPL12. I'd EQ or L/R transform. Anone tried...

I finished my dipole test baffles the other day and they sound great. Thanks to all whose brains have been picked, even without them knowing it. Photos are at the link below for those interested. Steve

Anyone know what has happened to the HT Guide DIY forum. I've been unable to get in for a couple of days. Steve

My H/K AVR520 has started doing naughty things with the remote. It seems to only recognise it intermittently, the worst consequence being that sometimes the volume runs away all the way, making for some rapid seat jumping. I seem to remember mention of this before here but couldn't find the...

Would it be possible to use the BFD as a two way mono crossover, and is anyone doing this? Cheers Steve

While I am generally very happy with my EBS Shiva, I do have some tracks that fall below its tuning with rather sonically unpleasant results. I could, of course, get some kind of rumble filter. However, I saw in one of the threads that the Stryke AV12 is a drop in (or close to it)...

Just wondering if anyone knew of a PC based program that would graphically show the effects of various crossovers and/or EQ settings on a signal. In other words, I would like to see what effect, say, a 24db L/R lowpass at 500 Hz has compared to a Butterworth, and then the effect of a + 5dB...

I'm weighing up a dipole project and just wondering if any of the new super woofers (Stryke AV, Tumult etc) would be suitable, or better than what is out there. I know of the Adire and the Peerless on the Linkwitz site, but how to these newbies stack up? Thanks Steve

I'm modelling various woofers for a (stereo) bass cabinet that will be crossed over at about 150hz. Using Unibox, there seems to be considerable roll-off with one otherwise good looking driver (SEAS L21RN4X/P) with an Le of 2.7mH. How important is this in real life? Do I attempt to flatten...

I'm building/having built centers and surrounds to match my mains (Wilson WATT 3s), which use a Focal kevlar tweeter and SEAS paper mid. Should I use drivers as close as possible, or later 'improved' models from the same company, ie the Focal inverted titanium. Or indeed follow Wilson's...

In a quest for real deep bass I recently bought an EBS aligned Shiva, being so far too clumsy and stupid to build one myself. Price was the equivalent of US $500. And very sexy it looks in its aluminium clad body, all 142 litres of it. So I decided to try out out side by side against my...

I've just bought a sub with a built in amplifier with auto on off. It sucks. When listening to music at softer levels which I sometimes do, especially classical, the sub turns itself off, and then you need to wind it right up to get ti back on. Any ideas on how to defeat the on/off. Will I...

Howdy. I have Wilson WATT speakers. A while ago I replaced the Puppies with Entec subs, to good effect. But when I moved back to Australia recently, the Entecs were just too much to ship. I figured I could simply use the WATTs with a good sub, but I'm now feeling the system lacks a bit of...

Anyone know how much a Shiva EBS sub would typically weigh (22.5 x 22.5 x 22.5)? Cheers Steve

Howdy, I have a Velodyne FSR12 at the moment and noticed while watching LOTR that it did not have quite the low bass impact I thought. There is a possible there is a fault with it as it was dropped a while back. I have the chance to acquire a Shiva EBS. Any thoughts how the two would...

I ma one of those who like to watch video sources while I listen to CDs. On the Denon 3802 is there an easy way to assign a video source to any digital input. I know you can do it by pressing the Video Select button on the receiver, but it doesn't continue if you switch between inputs, and...

Howdy all. I'm moving back to Australia shortly, and rather than ship all my gear am selling it off. Here's what is on offer: TACT RCS 2.0 room correction system - $2000 Lexicon DC-1 v 4.0 - $1600 *2 x Entec LF20 subwoofers (retailed $6K) - $1600 Sony TAP9000ES analog 5.1 preamp - $600...
