Home Speaker Asylum

General speaker questions for audio and home theater.

Re: agreed, but...

The "Van Alstine mod" has a provision for clipping the lead of the Woofer Zobel circuit, thus raising the bass level by 2 db.

This mod "warms em up" for lower listening levels due to the Fletcher Munson effect.

My 801's have this mod done, and I can "control" it by passive bi amp, using a bass amp with level controls.

I turn my bass amp's gain down slightly, because a 2 db boost is a little too warm, in my room.

My only "problem" with the matrix 801's is they will not play as loud as I would sometimes like, in my large room.

Other then that, they are about as close to a "perfect" all around speaker as I have ever heard.

Bass definition is a bit lacking compared to the VMPS RM 40's, and some others, but tolerable.
