Home Speaker Asylum

General speaker questions for audio and home theater.

Have you tried a sub that rolls off at 24bd per octave?

152.163.252.5

The Rava SE costs about a hundred dollars more than the Rava plain. The only difference between the two is the amplifier. The SE amp is actually less powerful than the plain, 200 watts vs. 250 but (and this is a big but), the SE utilizes a 24DB L&R crossover. I've had many subs and have always preferred the 4th. order rolloff. With the crossover set at 50HZ the bass is 30DB down at 100HZ, well out of the way of voices. Also, the faster roll-off makes the subs location truly undetectable. It also offers a parametric equalizer with 2 adjustable knobs, that lets you boost the bass 6DB under 50HZ. High and low inputs, detachable IEC power cord and switchable phase. Nice.
ENOUGH ALREADY, HOW DOES IT SOUND. It sounds great. I use it with the Reynaud Twins and it's a perfect match. Tight, musical, bass as deep as you want it and plays louder than the Twins can handle. For $500. Who would've guessed. Excellent people to deal with, to boot.
