Hi all,
I've spotted a couple of Triad in wall Silver 15 passive subs on sale which might go well in my movie/disco shed to replace the 2 Kef 2010's. Shed is roughly 6.5x3.5 and has a pitched ceiling, about 3m at apex. Main listening/viewing spot is around 3m from end wall.
They do not have the original amps but have an amp I can drive them with (600wpc crown xls602).
Anyone had experience of these?
I've been in touch with Triad and they said this...
These are from around 2006 or 2007 and they were sold with a separate amp for each sub. They are not meant to be passive subs to use with any amp as they will need some EQ to get them to play flat in the small enclosures. (Guessing my Denon 3313 can do the eq side of things. )
The drivers used in those was a custom built Eminence driver that is no longer available. They are really nice drivers and have great detail so they sound very natural. But over the years the suspension on the drivers loosens up making it possible to over drive them and bottom the driver out. I would keep any amp in the 250 to 300 watt range and roll it off around 35hz on the bottom end. The in room response will with natural room gain will still be boosted at 20hz over 40hz but it will help keep you from overdriving them with movie effects.
These are 4 ohm subs so you will need an amp for each sub
I was going to wire them in series and set the xls602 to bridge mode. The bit about rolling off under 35Hz has got me a little worried that they might not be able to give the eye shaking deep bass I'm after.
They're fairly cheap so thought it might be worth a punt but would appreciate any advice from people who have heard them and also what people would value them at.
Cheers
Joe
