Thanx Dan, it finally arrived...(meant to be early morning delivery, ended up being afternoon...they were "too busy" and "at the other end of town" again
).
Apart from that, may i congratulate you on a stunning little bit of equipment...amazingly well built (see previous post, dare I say it better build than the REL equivalents I saw in Sevenoaks
).
First, spot the sub (this is my normal listening position) :
Here's a better view, giving an idea of the size of the sub...the teeny weeny monster
:
So far it's great. I'm finding I don't need very high gain levels at all to get massive SPL's. The gain is set at just under 9 o'clock position (just under 2 notches); freq cutoff at about 70Hz (just under 4 notches...any lower and there's a noticeable gap in the frequency between sub and speakers - I've foam-bunged one port on each of the Quad's as they're close to the rear wall and tended to 'boom' a bit); phase is at just over 1 notch (about 20deg-ish).
I found the phase hardest to adjust properly.
Over the next month or so it'll be fine tuning. A frequency sweep shows a relatively clean, flat level from sub -> spkr mid/bass, and I'm slowly getting to the adjustment points where I can't hear the sub as a distinct entity seperate to the main speakers (this mainly involves disciplining myself to keeping the gain Low
).
Once again, THANKYOU for making available such a great little sub at such an affordable price....on sound alone it's definitely up there with REL's costing twice the price ... Definitely recommended!
P.S: 1 Question, can I leave the sub on all the time? It seems to be fine, doesn't get very hot and would save me having to keep try to reach behind it whenever I want to listen to something?
PPS: Ok, another one, am I right in believing that my tube amp (connected via I do as high level nuetrik speakon) is not "seeing" the sub as it is a 100000 ohm load...ie it is only supplying
info to the sub rather than
driving it? (what I'm getting at is will this connection alter the signal to the main speakers in any way?)
