So a subwoofer is not something I'd have to buy if only to "protect" your speakers from producing too low frequencies, if I'm already happy with the level of "impact" (bass) I'm getting in movies (which I am *smile* !)?
Thanks Dave for the great explanation *smile*
Okay! Well that's good to know *music2*
But how about movies? Since I have no subwoofer, my front speakers are responsible for the LFE channels aswell as I have my receiver set up that way (which they do great by the way, I have never missed the...
Most speaker manufacturers specify a frequency response range for their speaker units. What does this range actually tell and are frequencies that are out of this specified range dangerous for your speakers?
To give an example: the frequency response range of my speakers is specified as 44Hz -...
I promised to come back with an update! A bit late, but here it is:)
I've bought the set I mentioned before (2x 3050, 1x 3090c and 2x 3010) from a different shop (due to the previously mentioned experiences...). I've hooked them up to my Marantz SR5500, configured the receiver and started by...
My 5.0 speaker setup (recently bought) is as follows:
- Q Acoustics 3050 up front
- Q Acoustics 3010 as surrounds
- Q Acoustics 3090c as center
They are now powered by my Marantz SR5500 (12 years old?). Main reason to upgrade is because this model lacks HDMI.
When I was looking for a new...
I'm looking to buy a new receiver. I'm looking to buy a Marantz since I've always been very happy with them.
My question is what the main differences between the 5000, 6000 and 7000 series are. Is it only the number of build-in amplifiers and the RMS output wattage dat differs? Or is there also...
Yep I'm indeed going for the 3010. I mentioned the 3020's because the dealer had the 3020's set up as surround instead of the 3010. To what I've found online; both of these speakers are really compareable in terms of their sounding and their capabilities. I've decided to go for the 3010 as the...
@Patherick
To be honest: I've no idea. I'm actually new into the "HiFi scene". I've owned 2 B&W DM220 speakers (35 year old speakers) and a Marantz SR5500 which I have taken over from my dad. So I've never did a listening there (or somehwere else) before. Although I have to mention that while...
Thanks for your opinion man! The center in the set I listened to sounded nowhere near the front 3050 speakers, it was a much more muffled and boxed sound and you could clearly tell from which speaker the voices came from (front or center). It was like night and day: a 128kbps mp3 vs a lossless...
Hey Samd,
Oh that would be great! So, voices trough your center sound the same as trough your front speakers for example? (idk which front speakers you have though)
Hi members,
I'm planning on stepping into the surround experience.
I've listened to the Q Acoustic 3050 (front), 3020 (back) and 3090c (center) in some HiFi shop nearby. I was very pleased with the 3050 and 3020, they sounded really well to my opinion, but the center sounded like garbage...
