Any future digital amp upgrades planned for the PC12-NSD ?

Can I pair a SB10-NSD with the PC12-NSD?
Will it be a mismatch or will they complement each other?

Thank you for your insights.

What about this ?

Max,
Should one strive to to achieve 0 at the avr subwoofer gain, after Audysey.
Mine shows -6dB, with the subwoofer knob at 11 o'clock.
What benefits are there in achieving 0 at the avr level?

Since 2EQ does not have filters for the sub, can I adjust the trim manually with the SPL meter, without running Audyssey again?.

Absolutely spot on

I am thinking of dual sub setup and I have a few Q's
Will these new PC12-NSD be different from the current bash amp fitted ones?
If dual sub set-up, integration will be problem or not since they will have different characteristics for sure.
Can retrofit the new dsp amp?

Got special pre-order price for the new NSD?
Returning customer get an extra discount on top of that or not?

Very keen to audition but kinda busy lately..
Maybe on the 26th.

I think needs equalization for optimum performance, which bumps up the $$ needed.
As you suggested, get the Denon 4810 with the MultiEQ32 and Sub EqHT...this needs even more $$$$.
Either it's EQ1 plus Sub or 4810 plus sub....you take trade in for the avr?

My bad, actually htkaki meant the 4311

Need advise. I am going for dual sub setup.
Would it be more practical and future proof to get EQ1 and pair with my existing Onkie 607 or get a brand new Denon 4311 or Onkie 3008?
I am running 5.1 with biamp front speakers.
The avr is strictly for movies. No streaming or Ipod or youtube stuff.
Not intending to go 3D either as home minister and I gets a headache wearing those glasses.
Thanks for all assitance.y

Over the past 1 week, I have had the chance to try out the SB12-NSD.
Size wise, it is really compact, not much visual appeal aside from the rather modernistic curved front grill.
It is certainly much different from my PC12-NSD.
It is more immediate with a sharper edge to the bass and no overhang. Great for music and concerts.
For movies, each bass note is clearly defined but I do miss the rumble of the PC. The sofa still shakes with every LFE note rather than a trembling effect I get with the PC.

Iron Man 2, what scene / timeline?

After tha last shipment, maybe he 's with the chiropractor now...

Finally tamed the rattling plaster ceiling over the christmas holidays and completed my DIY bass trap.

It's a 4'x2' panel made up of two back to back pieces of fibre glass acoutic ceiling boards (80kg/cubic meter density)
These are mounted on a home made wooden frame. while the boards are wrapped in speaker cloth.

I also glued similar pieces cut into smaller sizes, on to my rattling ceiling panels and stopped the annoying rattles completely.

The LFE bass is much tighter with less boom and overhang now.
The absence of the rattling ceiling is a huge huge relief.
Finally, I can truly enjoy the subsonic effects without the added sound effects from my ceiling

If anyone is interested, I have left over acoustic ceiling boards that is enuf for another 3 panels.

Will snap some tonight when I get home.
The offending ceiling panels are waiting for the glue to dry before I plaster in the joint lines. Now they look pretty unsightly.
Luckily my HM is very understanding

Actually, the rattles came from a vertical plaster partition between the front half concrete ceiling of the living hall and the lower plaster ceiling in the rear half.
I used latex glue to stick smaller pieces of the acoustic panels to this vertical partition which was vibrating.
The joints will be sealed later with plaster and painted over, it looks ugly now.

The bass trap I made following instructions on http://www.basstraps.net/DIY-BASS-TRAPS-MADE-EASY.pdf

It is 4 feet high and 2 feet wide.
The two pieces of acoustics boards together are 3.5 inches thick.
Sitting on the the 2 inches thick wooden frame, the total thickness is 5.5 inches.
It really does the job though.
The bass is altogether so much better.

I think it will help a lot if one has a wooden floor.
On concrete or tiles or marble flooring, the vibrations are not going to be transmitted as much.
My subdude didn't do zilch to tame the rattling, but it nice to look at..
