subwoofer

Following What Hi-Fi for a few years, I'm new to the forum. This week I bought a Cambridge Audio CXA81 mkII amp to match my 9 month old Dali Oberon 5 speaker set. Its incredibly precise and open character is a real pleasure. But... I now found out that this combination lacks bass a lot in my...

Hey guys, I am planning a basic DIY sub build as branded subs are too expensive to import in my country. I had a question regarding power and driver choice. If I feed a 100W amp into one 4 ohm subwoofer driver, that results in X volume. If I use two 8 ohm drivers of the same type, wire then in...

I have two subs in my home cinema. One at each side of the sofa, facing the mains with about 3 meters distance. My current phase setting is 0°, but I read somewhere that it could be better with 180° when mains and subs are facing each other I know phase should be set where you achieve the most...

Hi there. I have Q-acoustics 3020i speakers, and 3070s subwoofer. Any suggestions to which amplifier/receiver would be a good match? The Sub only has an RCA connection. I think it was intended as part of a 5.1 package, but I'm only interested in stereo for music.. I just wanted the extra...

Recently been getting some better audio equipment, picked up some DT770 pro headphones as an upgrade along with a good amp, needless to say i dont want to wear heaphones all the time, even though they sound really good. Grabbed some 2nd hand kurzweil KS-40A studio monitors for cheap and they're...

I have the following set-up: 1. Rega Planar 3 turntable 2. Rega Brio R integrated amp 3. Rega RS 3 speakers - not the tallest ones. 4. Bluesound Node Room size- 200 sq ft- open from one side. I was told that I can improve the thump/thunk of the sound by getting a subwoofer and having it at low...

Hi, Ik Steven. I've bought a second hand Philips SW 968 wOOx powered sub. This was to replace my Creative inspire t3130 powered sub. This comes from a laptop speakerset (€30) I've currently attached powered sub to my TV aux output, and put the source output on both the speakers from my TV, as...

Hi everyone, As you can tell, still bit of an audio noob here. I'm currently upgrading to my 'endgame' setup which may be entry level to some, but to me is quite up there. Anyways I digress. I'm currently upgrading to a pair of JBL HDI3800 as my speakers and pairing it up with the Musical...

Hello all! I'm new here and I'm curious if anyone has suggestions for a subwoofer that would fit my situation. Ideally I'd rather get something used, perhaps an old model, that I could pick up locally, ie Belgium or Netherlands. I am currently running Focal Aria 906 speakers with an Arcam A18...

Hello, I'm new to the forums (and to audio cable modding as you'll find out!). I've owned a Philips LX3000D home theatre system for over 20 years, including the original 5.1 speaker and subwoofer setup. The LX3000D unit has been plagued with audio issues over the past couple of years, and I've...

We’re (hopefully) moving next month, and I’m wondering whether to revisit, and how to position, my current living room hi-fi / home cinema speaker setup, since the new room is much bigger. Ideally I’d not buy (any/much!) more kit, but trying to keep an open mind. Suggestions on speaker...

Hello everyone, I was wondering if it's possible to plug a subwoofer to the Rega IO since there's no LFE or SUB output. And if yes which one do you recommend and how do you do it ? I 've heard many things using Y connector and so on but this is confusing to me, I'm still pretty new to this. My...

I am streaming from a Blue sound Node 2i into my 2002 Roksan Kandy mkIII, feeding Dali Oberon 5s. I’m hoping to move into a detached house soon and will be able to unleash a bit more volume. Is the £600 I’m considering spending on the Dali E12 sub going to have as much an impact on the scale of...

I'm looking to upgrade my current set-up. I have a Logitech Z533 2.1 subwoofer and speaker set-up right now, and this has quite frankly been brilliant for my listening needs. I listen to a lot of music that is stronger in the lower frequency range (drum'n'bass, bass house, classic dubstep and...

I've been using logitech z906 sub with my hifi system and decided to get a proper hifi subwoofer as I didn't like bass from z906. It didn't have really low bass, just down to 40hz and it was slow - bass heavy songs had so unstoppable bass, but rock/heavy metal songs didn't even trigger the bass...

Hi guys, I habe been wondering for months what audio equipment to buy i.e, sound bar, Sonos , kef ls50ii. I have now decided to go down the amplifier and speaker set up as the other half and myself would rather not see too many wires and we don’t have many plugs. Lol. I popped in on the off...

Hi, Please help me with some recommendations for a 2.1 system. I have a Yamaha RX-V6A AVR and i need speakers and subwoofer. I want bookshelf speakers because i already have some stands and they look nice. I listen to electronic and hip hop but occasionally to jazz and rock too. (i prefer...

I have a pair or KEF Q100 bookshelve speakers, and a Polk Audio PSW108 subwoofer in a music only listening room (no home theater or video interest!). The system sounds fairly good at the moment (at least for an entry level system and my inexperienced ears). I've had this setup for almost a...

Hey all, I currently have a Logitech Z533 subwoofer + satellite speakers unit, but I have been thinking about upgrading the left and right satellite speakers that came with it to a better quality pair. Each speaker has a cable that connects to a left/right channel input as shown in the...

Hello, After reading a review on WHAT HI FI I decided to buy a Denon D-M41DAB. Im looking into making the best possible out of the system knowing it is a starting point anyway. The review actually recommend to use the Denon speakers. It is worthy to add to the system a subwoofer? and which one...
