That doesn't make it so, but I definitely have a bias. I'm aware that some disagree (the Exodus app notes, the 'subwoofer myths' link on Annunaki's signature), but my beliefs are based on the larger body of what I've read, in combination with my own empirical observations. I believe a critically damped sealed enclosure sounds better than any of the ported alignments. Ported: This one may be in the category of misconceptions you alluded to. Doesn't mean I won't, it's just not my primary option at the moment. I don't have one, and don't want to add it if I don't have to. It's easy to explain why I'm reluctant to eq. The third non-NHT alternative is to run my old JL W1 with its f3 of 35Hz and call it good enough, accepting a less than stellar upper 20's response. I've also looked into partitioning my existing enclosures and running a modern sub with eq correction for LF. That meets my frequency response criteria, and would require only adding a port to the existing boxes. I had already modeled a few prospective subs to 4th order ported designs that would give me a box q of 0.7 in 3.5 cu ft with an f3 of 20Hz.

I agree that if my NHT offer falls through and I'm left to current drivers, then something has to give. ***edit: I forgot to mention that my HT needs are still the same ones from 10 years ago, as my Behringer allows me to cut LF below 25Hz, giving me immunity to Hollywood raising the ante.Ĭlick to expand.By all means ask I'm out here on the forum to get input and informaton, so I appreciate you taking the time to do so. My design with an f3 of 27Hz meshes quite well with my system goals without the need to add an eq to my system.įor the most part it's only home movies and silly bass CD's that get lower than the 30's, at which point I believe two NHT's working with 13mm are in the vacinity of one sunfire working with 26mm, a reference that is none too shabby at 25Hz and above. My expectations are fidelity first and forememost, followed by low muscial bass response as I listen to QUITE an eclectic range of music, much of which has content down into the 30's. My system pulls double duty for music as well as movies (and more recently games).

But to do that without eq correction, I typically need a subwoofer with a subsonic free air resonance. My thread title is a little misleading - my goal is to reproduce frequencies competently in-room down into the 30's and upper 20's. As this arrangement is recent, I'm still messing around with the crossover point and level matching. The 2-way bookshelf speakers are NHT Super Ones being run direct, sitting atop two woofers crossed over at around 100 - 110 Hz, providing overlap in the NHT low end. In a sealed box design, close enough is usually good enough.Īs far as my system architecture, I've very recently changed out my single amp setup with passive crossovers for a bi-amp setup with an active crossover (Behringer CX2310). Good discussions going on here, along with a lead on direct replacements for the original NHT's! I ordered my first 1259 from Madisound, so it may well have been the clone version. In many ways that is a raw deal for music systems, at least from a cost performance stand point. But who knows? Hollywood has changed the whole frequency power band spectrum you have to design for.

I suspect the advent of the LFE channel has something to do with the drivers disappearance. When you look at the frequency power band meter, in music there is very little power below 45 Hz.

However those are the days before HT and the sort of power that driver handles below 30 Hz would be plenty and work well before the advent of the LFE channel. It was before the HT craze, and he said he was very pleased with the driver. I know a guy who used that driver quite some years age as the bass end of a two JW Modules crossed around 500 Hz in MTM configuration with a tweeter. However for a very loose suspension like that there is not much spring pressure from a box of that volume, so I'm not surprised by the result. However sub driver technology has improved by leaps and bounds since then and may be they had a subsonic filter built into the amp. Usually that data base is accurate, but may be in this case not.
