Just how much better is 2 subwoofers? - Page 5

I was hanging there for a short time when I made my statements cc not too long ago as I plan not to buy anymore factory made retail speakers anymore and my subs are working good.
I will go back to hanging there again as my future plans are to build full size statements, ministatements for surrounds and lastly back to subs again for a pair of 18 inch daytons in that order.This will take allot of years as money is alittle tight now. Next I will buy a meter. but can some one say is an extra 5hz that big of a difference? Is there allot that is in most movies that I am missing out on if not I will just relax and forget about it for a number of years.If it is a big difference maybe I will do the daytons next.is it that noticable not having that extra 5hz?
This is how I see adding more subs it is like blowing up a balloon the first breath is very noticable and the second breath is also noticable but not as much as the first,Then with each breath the balloon is getting bigger but not so noticably bigger. The larger the balloon gets the less each breath is noticable.yes I know adding more of the same sub will not get you lower.

Ignorance is bliss. My goal in life is to be the dullest tack in the box. Nobody ever says, hey, I want this tack, it's the dullest tack in the box.

The point, one never knows what one is missing until they've been shown what they're missing. The best musical analogy that I have is a pair of broken in headphones. In one hand, the listener has a hundred dollar pair of headphones (Audio-Technica, ATH-AD700's) and in the other, the listener has a five hundred dollar pair of headphones; Sennheiser, HD 650's. All things being equal, quality DAC, headphone amplifier and all gear working to stated specification, the difference in depth between the hundred dollar headphone vs the five hundred dollar headphone is the difference between simple playback and playback with life in it; depth of soul. The difference, one is just a headphone, the other is a compelling headphone one doesn't want to take off and no, I can't afford to listen to better headphones than what I have because ignorance is bliss and it's oh so easy to want to move forwards and it's oh so hard to be shown better and then made to move backwards.

Just a thought, when making an upgrade of this kind, most subwoofer systems that are 20Hz capable, will go lower into the 10Hz - 15Hz level so you'll be entering the tactile subsonic level subwoofer playback, a whole new playback world of experience. Think of it like one going from HS ball to college ball.

How to articulate the difference? It's all about playback depth of soul. It's about how engaging and compelling the playback effort is. A recommendation, don't go there as abandon hope, all ye who goes there as you'll be sucked into the black hole of musical-movie bliss, never to be hear from again.


Example: You have a Mustang. And this wonderful Mustang, which you love so much, has been dyno'd at 300Hp. OTOH, your buddy has a Mustang, and his Mustang has an engine which has been dyno'd at 375HP......are you really missing out?

Hi wvu80,

I just got off the phone with my attorney. He is amending my will by adding a clause that references the above post. You will be able to purchase the speakers from my estate for the above stated $1,000 cash money.

This solves a huge problem for me. I have 3 kids and they each wanted the speakers. I was going to have to break up the set and give one speaker to each kid. This way, the set can stay together and the kids will no longer have anything to fight over.

Now, please forward me your address so I can send you the bill for the attorney fees to amend my will. He's a very expensive attorney and estimated his fees at about $20,000.

Guys currently on my 5.1 set up i have dayton 1200. And i am planning to get another dayton 1200 to have 5.2 set up. Do you guys think that will be a huge sound or bass upgrade for my set up? I really dont have that much money to spend on expensive subs. Do i get a smooth bass or something if i add another dayton 1200?

you get what you pay for. No you will not get a big difference. slightly louder if they are next to each other or a little smoother if they are split up.But you will mostly just get a little more of what you got already. if you want a big difference save your money and buy a better sub later. if you are happy with what you have and need just a small improvement. then get another cheap sub

Which one is better get the klipsch r12d or get the 2 klipsch 10 synergy?

You need to prioritize for yourself the following 3 questions:

How low do you want to go?

How loud to want to go?

How smooth do you want the sound to be?

Examine your priorities for these 3 questions, and you will have the answer.

Dual subs will provide the smoothest response, (depending on the setup.)

A single "better" sub could possibly go lower, or louder, or both, depending on the sub and the setup.

Setup is the *key* in in all these decisions. Do you have any way to measure your response? How much flexibility do you have in your setup?

Hey guys, I'm thinking about getting another subwoofer and would really like some advice concerning it.

I have a JBL ES250 and I'm thinking about getting another but I don't know if my media room is to small for two of those guys. My media room is 106.35ft² (9.88m²).

It would be great if you guys have some experience with two sw in such a small space and tell me if I'm gaining something by having two.

I have six es250pbk in a 360 square foot room it is more smooth,even,and loud. so two in a smaller room should be nice,but will not help getting you lower. amazon had allot of open box es250pbk a few weeks ago for $104 to bad you did not buy one then as you would not be out much. side by side you will notice it louder and more head room. but not a crazy improvement.a small room you should have plenty of bass over 25hz.

I have two subs, the Kreisel and Hsu. I tried both at same time and they sound nice however I decided to just use the Kreisel because I feel it sounds a lot cleaner on its own.
