Re: "loss of sharpness in transient attack"

Hey David,

"I posted a reply to this but it doesn't seem to have "stuck"."

Not sure what U mean by "stuck" as I can only surmise your talking about your response to my intitial post to which I had not replied yet. I certainly do respect your opinion, but was only letting the post take it's course, so to speak, to capture other peoples views/experiences.

I have done extensive modification to both my REL subs which has endeared them to be completely seemless in both a music and a HT system. The mods included removing the user interface panel from the subs and mounting them on solid surfaces with vibration absorbtion devices added to the circuitry.

I have also implemented MIT speaker cables between the REL amps and the subs themselves and this alone was a dramatic reduction in sub/main speaker blending issues.

I have even gone so far as to spike the termination box to the floor, apply dampening in the form of #8 lead shot to the MIT termination circuit inside the cable, and then applied vibration absorbtion to the cable which has a profound effect on bass clarity/pitch resolution.


My methods are certainly not in the realm of electronic by any means but I have discovered that cable resonances have a very detrimental effect on bass reproduction and dampening these resonances by mechanical means is truly beneficial :-)

Cheers,
