Subwoofers & DSP or nearly bye bye room

[John]

With the open back I find I do not need DSP in my room. My friend discovered the same when he moved away from the Linkwitz approach he found he no longer had the colouration he had to overcome with the DSP
Where it really shines for me is how reasltic drums are and that I still hear the bass notes
It never go as low as a normal sub but for where all that energy is in prog metal and Fusion I am a very happy man
But think for a lot of people using open baffle DSP is essential

You having problem waiting for the forum to John

These bits of kit are only good for below 150Hz, it might be 120Hz in all honesty. No matter what actively driven speaker is used in a room there will still be room modes that this thing can get rid of unless of course it can't go below 120Hz...

Aye, it's a bit slow today isn't it?

On & off yes, patience is a virtue

[Ali Tait]

Yes I think issues with the server

Yes always room modes but really do not think this is a issue I really have to worry about
I have my bass cut off at 25 its low enough for me

Of course you don't need to worry about it John, until you hear it without them & then you still don't need to worry... But you'd certainly want to be rid of them believe me

25Hz is lower than most can go admittedly

I guess will just have to wait till I hear one in my system but what you describe in difference seems pretty close to my experience you more than welcome to hear if you ever get down to London

[Reid Malenfant]

It may well be that dipole woofers don't excite the room in the same way that monopoles do, so you could be right

I still reckon it would be educational to find out though...

One day

I hope so be great to have your view
