I apparently can not fit my PB1 ISD into my dorm room, so I need to buy something smaller. Are there any good subs that are relatively small and cheap? How is the HSU STF-1 or how about the JBL E150P? I don't want it to to be too loud and intrusive by the way. The room is 11 x 13.5 by the way.
I got my SVS PB1 ISD and I put it in a corner of my room. It's at about halfway gain. Now the problem is the receiver is just to the side of it on a table and when the bass is running, it shakes and rattles stuff and making this annoying sound. I narrowed it down to the metal gratings on the top...
As the title states, I need a 2-ch amplifier. My budget is in the $500-600 dollar range. I also want something with a bit more punch to it, no 100wpc ones. I saw two QSC Amps on Parts Express (can't link here), a PLX1202 and a PLX1602. The first one is about $600 and the other $500. How...
I'm worried that my Yamaha 5740 receiver won't be able to handle the Ascend CBM 170s I'm getting well. Advertisers list it as 100w a channel but the manual I got with it says 85w a channel. The speakers are 200watts. I've never understood this wattage thing, will having less than the speakers...
I would like to get some good material for listening to my new speaker system once I get it to see exactly how good it is as well as auditioning speakers in the future. I'm looking for CDs, of no particular genre as long as it shows off the sound well. (Mods: Please move if this is in the...
I'm planning on getting these bookshelf speakers for use with my Yamaha receiver in a room about 16' x 16'. I'll be getting an SVS PB1 ISD mind you, for the bass. I haven't been able to hear these anywhere (don't think they're even sold with dealers anyhow) nor have I seen much mention of them...
This would be an example: cduniverse.com/productinfo.asp?pid=6704371&cart=195637830&style=music&Bab=D Notice it says "Enhanced CD" under Additional Info.
Thanks for the calibration advice, now back to the original question. :) I think I'm leaning toward the SVS. (I wish I could find a place to hear these in my area) PS I do have a Radio Shack Digital SPL meter.
I have $600 to spend on a subwoofer for a room about 16' x 16'. I will be using my system primarily for music. I've read some reviews of both HSU and SV Subwoofers but I can't decide exactly which model. A review I read on this forum comparing the PB1 and STF3 indicates the SVS unit would be a...
The volumes are normal, and as I said, I have another speaker the same kind as this one. It's identical and it doesn't make the same sound as this one on the certain music material.
I'll take it to a repair shop, but what it's doing is when I put on bassier material, it starts making this mid pitched clapping sound inside (almost a fart). It's coming directly from the woofer if you put your head near the cabinet.
I'm looking to buy a replacement 15" woofer, for one that's apparently broken, in one of my speakers. What are some good ones that I can buy online for a reasonable price. The speakers are 200watts and are made by DBX. I've seen several sites that cater to the do-it-yourself or speaker...
