Yes HTkaki mentioned about this also

posting on the subwoofer thread for the 1st time

Your current system is quite a big leap compares to your previous system. Now, you have a very capable sub. Anyway, welcome to the subwoofer club too.

I bet that you will be watching quite a number of movies again with your new HT system.

Sorry guys have been busy with exams and assignments

Thanks for the info jchong


I am using the LX82, my room size is about your room size, I'll have a go with your suggested tweeking whenever I got a chance . X'mas is near and still got loads assignment and phase test coming up but thanks for the info

haha i taught im the only one has small room for my av set up, suck right ?
i have problem now, when my sub goes low , a part of my ceiling vibrates.. haiz... dunno which pieces.. need to nail it in..... anyone has this problem? im living in a single story, using those old 4x6 ceiling board.. made of cement i think..

Having small room is not all bad , at least could save some money for the cables

Added on December 24, 2011, 3:25 amGuys,

I reposition my sub and tried my setting with all speakers set to small, bass improved, at least no longer boomy(previously placed at room's corner, now moved to front, placed in between front and centre speaker)

However, I notice some instruments sound in some certain music i am familiar with become not so clear when all the speakers set to small and now I am a bit dont know what to do.. For pop/rock musics, all speakers set to small sounds great with sub kicks in but for some oldies where bass is not as much, instrument become bit lacking

I dont really fancy changing the setting all the time when listening to different musics. Any advice for me guys??

yeah save alot on cables, hmmm maybe u can try different cut off frequency, from 120hz to 80hz and see..

Thanks. I have not tried with different cut off freq yet, but I doubt that will solve my problem

When listening to music you can either set Audyssey to Flat or ByPass L&R speakers.
See if you like the sound.
I usually set to ByPass L&R for music videos.

I think my amp doesnt do Audyssey

Hi,

Want to ask where can i buy a remote control for velodyne spl ultra series. Mine 1 was missing. Is there any other device can replace? Thanks alot

Ebay perhaps ??

what receiver u using? i think properly set the ideal cut off for your front and sub will balance out the ideal listening bass u seeking...try it ..most simple options now..

buy a cheap logitech universal remote, then map from a velodyne or see if they got supported in their list itself, cheaper and more practical than order on-line, u can control multiple stuff too

Hi all sifus,

Currently i owned a set of Jamo S606. But the bass is kind of weak as it only have 2 x 8" passive subwoofer.
Thinking of getting an active subwoofer preferably works for movies & music (50/50%)
Want to have have ur opinons on below sub:

1. Infinity PS210MKII (offer RM 1399) - had an audition but i think is kind of boomy for music and Ok for movies based on my limited knowledge & experience.

2. Paradigm PDR100 (offer RM 1499) - not yet audition. But check spec it only have 120W RMS power, is it enough to cover my living + dining area (open concept) of 18ft x 24ft area?

3. Is CHT-10Q good for movies & music as well? Saw a lot of forum members use this sub. Not asking for an excellent musicality sub. Is it well enough to handle normal / entry level?

4. SVS PB10NSD - should be very good as i found out a lot of comments and articles from net. But not sure the price.

Hope sifus on there can give some guide / comments.
TQ

For such a large area, you will need a bigger sub with more power.
Also as you listen to music half the time, it more likely you would prefer a sealed sub for it's musicality.
What is your budget that you have set for the subwoofer?
IIANM, there is a pre-owned sealed SVS SB12-NSD for sale.
This will definitely be a good option.

Tight budget, 2.1k max.
I'm just at the entry level. No need SVS SB12 for the moment.
Just start & at the stage of exploring & enjoying HD audio & HT.

So, for this kind of budget, what is the best choose to go for?
1. Velodyne CHT-10Q (roughly 2.2k)
2. Paradigm DSP-3100 (not sure how much yet)
3. Paradigm PDR-100 (RM 1499)
4. Infinity PS210MKII (RM 1399)

Among these, which is the best for movies & music?

Checked online & found out the best subwooder for the range of US 399 - 550, the ranking as below
1. BIC F12 (US 499)
2. Emotiva Ultra Sub 10 (US 329)
3. Elemental A3S-250 (US350)

Any comments on these few models?

Then don't buy first until you've saved enough. Just because of the few hundred rm you have to sacrifice an inferior sub, and later sell it off to buy one that satisfy your need. it's better to be pound wise than penny wise.

As for the US subs, they run on 110v. After shipping taxes and buying a transformer it'll cost much more.

If you can wait a bit, Rythmik new entry 12in sub will be here in a few months, expected to be rm1800-2000.

Im using LX82

would this be a good place to ask which CD / music is great in terms of bass?

Basstronics - 'I Love You, Bass'
Bass Mekanik - 'Subsonic Beat'

U can try Blue Man Group 5.1DTS, Crystal Method 5.1DTS. Bass Mechanik is also good to try out ur bass.
