![]() Again, thing of personal preference, but i always have the feeling that i lose something when not listening direct sound. Then the bookshelf can reach the loudness providing it doesn't distort much that low.Ĥ. If you have large room - what the hell are you trying to achieve with 5-6" bookshelf there ? So in larger rooms i'd definitely recommend few sealed subs crossed at 80Hz or even 60Hz. One could see this as a flaw since i don't know the room someone will be using that loudspeaker, but the logic is next - if you have smaller room, you don't want your lows to go wild and become mushy. All of my loudspeakers are tuned F3 to about 40-45Hz so they work with the room. Tuning low in rooms of that size that are made of brick creates mayhem with bass and sub bass. On low volume they sound a bit lifeless and when i turn it up to get it sounding good (in my room), it is too loud.ģ.Thing is that i live in apartment - rooms i listen music in are 4x4m and 4x5m. They can give me what i want and are sensitive but they are quite hard to move. If i wanted even more dynamics (since i don't tune speakers bellow 40Hz) i'd just use more 6" drivers. Cone surface might be the same and Mms, but there are two points of sound origin (it will interact with the room differently) and two motors where there would be one (less compression and hopefully distortion). Smaller woofers, that i choose and prefer, usually have lower moving mass (Mms). That is only matter of personal preference, not saying one is better than other. I'm always for ported bookshelf and few sealed subs. Floor standing ported speakers do go lower but the bass becomes less precise to my ears. This might sound strange but that's how it is. I really like how good bookshelf deliver lows. Size isn't an issue for me but through the years i came to the conclusion what i do and don't like. I want it very good, but i want it at affordable price. Performance plays equally large role too. Budget always plays very important role - at least for me. If you want to keep a narrow front, do you think a larger side mounted woofer could work given your rolloff is in the low 100's?1. Why only a 6.5" woofer to extend the bottom end? Are you backing this up with a subwoofer anyway? Budget or enclosure size constrained? There will be some tweaking by ear but all in all, I'd say that's it.Īnd now, traditionally, a little livelier display Tangerine phase plug obviously works like a charm. Here I had to make the grid 2dB to be able to see the level of 90 degree against 0 degrees So, last night i've made some measurements of modified Kef LS50. Its outer diameter is 26mm and it is 15mm high but without it the response looks like this and that was unacceptable: The coil is Jantzen, catalog number 000-1541 and can be bought at HiFiCollective for about 3 euros a piece. 2.2uF will also work but i ran out of 2.2uF capacitors and i was eager to listen to it. The surround on that midwoofer didn't get enough coating so its resonance is quite visible. Loudspeaker No.2 has few slight changes in crossover and one significant: I've been listening for a few days this crossover:
