***SOLD*** I am looking to sell my PB-10. The only reason I am selling it, is I am looking to upgrade to something bigger. The sub was purchased on 4/3/08, so there still is some time on its transferable 3 year warranty. I am looking for ***SOLD*** plus shipping (firm) in the continental US...
I agree on the 80hz. You want to give yourself some room above the low frequency of your speakers. For one, it is difficult of most any speaker to play bass, and very easy for a subwoofer to play 40-80hz information. There are many people with huge towers that set their subs at 80hz even...
Harris,
That is the unique beauty of Avia. It is the only source that takes into account your bass management settings and the bass your main speakers play in bass reproduction. It is a little more work, but I think it is much better way to calibrate your sub.
Take a look at Gary's first...
Have you tried calling CSW? Although they are discontinued products, there is a chance they may have extra grills they would be willing to sell to you cheap.
Thanks again:emoji_thumbsup: I looked over at Sonny Parkers Snapbug site. At the bottom of the page he list several example BFD curves I would say 1/3 are flat, 1/3 slope evenly from 20hz to 80hz by a total of 10dB, and 1/3 slope evenly from 20hz to 80hz by a total of 15hz. I think I will...
Thanks for the reply Chris, I would agree with you. I can't stand bloated bass. Flat is probably where I will end up anyway. The only reason I was considering it was I thought that if I remained pretty flat down through 40-50 (where most music resides), and sloped up a little from there, I...
Calling all EQ experts (and amateurs :) ), I just recently purchased an Axiom EP500 sub for my 3000 cubic foot room, and am very pleased. I have the new Velodyne SMS-1 EQ on the way. One advantage of the SMS is I can store up to 5 different curves and switch between them on the fly. What I...
I have been listening to as much Jazz as I can on the radio, and have done a ton of research. I already own Miles/Kind of Blue and Dave Brubeck/Timeout. I am going to be purchasing a good amount to get my collection started, and I am wondering if it is worth it to spend twice as much to pick up...
Yes those are pure sine waves I downloaded from the ACI site. I have a one band equalizer on my sub that I can increase the spl at 20 and 22.5 hz to get it really flat from 35 down to 20. The only problem is I lose about 3dB of headroom. I am now trying to figure out if the additional response...
At the risk of sounding stupid, what were the audio problems you guys are talking about? I do spend a lot of time on these forums, but since buying the original trilogy was a no brainer for me, I never read any of the Star Wars threads.
I am not sure how to add my graph here, so I will post my numbers that are the compensated spl's. If someone can tell me how to post the graph, I would be happy to do so. 20hz = 68.2spl 22.5hz= 69.4spl 25 = 74.4 27.5 = 74.7 30 = 76.4 35 = 71.5 40 = 72 45 = 72.7 50 = 69.3 55 = 63...
I havn't seen the series, but loved the movie. I will definetely be picking these up. To answer your question Russel, the movie takes place somewhere toward the end of the series; not quite after. I enjoyed it thoroughly without knowing a thing about the series, but I suppose if you plan on...
Yes they do attach to the speakers. Sorry if I was confusing, I actually meant if I was to go on top of the bookshelf vs. the stands. I am assuming the bookshelves won't provide the solid mass that the stands would. I was wondering if it is a good idea to put something in between the bookshelf...
Thanks John, I was thinking the same thing. I think the spread will be more important. I will try it out over the weekend to see how the lower placement sounds. Currently, I don't notice a huge difference in sound when I sit down (placing the tweeters high) vs when I stand up, placing the...
Here is my setup. I currently have M&K 850's. I have a 50" RPTV with the center on top, with bookshelves flanking each side of it. My L/R are on top of the bookshevles in open air about 10' apart. The tweeter is a little over 6' up. I sit about 10' back. The matching wooden pedestal stands...
I agree 100% with Kevin,
There are so many people that have their subs hot, I almost felt that I was missing something. I now have my sub at 82dB with Avia, and I am so much happier. I have really learned to appreciate a properly calibrated sub.

Thanks John, Since posting this, I did a little more research and read some really good things about the Sennheiser HD555 which lists for $150, but can be had for under $100. Do you know of these headphones, and even if not, it sounds like you have listened to both Grado and Sennheiser. How...
I have been doing a lot of late night movie watching with the family sleeping, so I was considering a good set of headphones. My receiver does have three Dolby Headphone modes that intrigue me. I would think I would get more enjoyment out of some good headphones as opposed to listening to my...
