In Reply to: RE: Current Maggies run full range compared to high pass and subs. posted by dumpingground on December 29, 2020 at 17:53:25
Yes using many subs definitely evens out the bass response and is nice. What I meant was a ported sub won't stop and start like a sealed one can and is even further behind a Maggie panel in that regard. Would be interested to hear this setup. Appreciate that keeping the Maggie freq range separated from the sub range would help integration though. If it was me I'd probably only be using sealed subs though, based on my previous tests with different sub types.
Satie (is he still around?) used to recommend using bipolar sealed subs if using box subs. He reckoned they integrated better with Maggies than one driver box subs. Vanderstein used to make a few bipolar subs.
Follow Ups:
The 2 HSU TN1220's in my setup are tuned at a very low frequency, something like 18hz. So an octave or so above that they behave similar to a sealed subwoofer.
The 2 SVS SB-1000's are sealed.
The sound especially in the base region is very natural and seamless sounding in my setup.
I have a significant amount of bass trapping in the room.
Sounds interesting. Using ported and sealed subs together, and getting both of the types of bass radiation patterns.
In the past I could never get ported subs (on their own) to integrate well with some Maggie 3 series . I used some big ones too that were tuned very low. They were just too slow. Like a dinosaur! I got much better results from not so big sealed subs. The REL strata III worked quite well but was still a little slow. Quite a few people used to use those IIRC.
Mind you I have little experience of using integrating subs with a minidsp and having the ability to tune it so much there.
