So if I get you to say no, I can have your EP600?

It may already be spoken for, unfortunately. It's up in the air.

The magic around here is getting very strong, now we have an EP600 up in the air to go along with the floating Audyssey mic. I wonder if the moons are aligning or something.

That made me think of Braveheart.

Every man dies, not every man really lives with a kick-ass sub?

Seriously. Has there EVER been less actual discussion of a sincere and relevant question?

I didn't want to be the one to say it, but since Tom/David started it, and now that we're on PAGE 2 of responses with no relevant information, any attempts at a serious answer?

(by the way, if this is your way of exhibiting "meaningful response group delay," congratulations, you've done it!) \:D

Hi all -

In a post on Audioholics, it was suggested to me that running a sealed and ported sub together might result in sub-par performance due to "group delay." This was a new term to me, so I've researched it enough to understand what it means (slower delivery of certain frequencies in ported subs versus sealed), but don't know how much of a problem to expect it to be if I try to run both of these subs together.

While I'm not sure that I'll ultimately keep both of these subs anyway, I'd appreciate any advice on the matter.

Thanks.

Jason



Jason, I run a ported sub (Hsu VTF3 MkII) with two smaller 10" sealed subs. I'm not familiar with group delay, though. I'll check out that article when I get home.

So far, I haven't noticed anything wrong with the set-up. If anything, I get a more even distribution of bass at my listening position.

I just recently turned Audyssey off on my receiver and the bass seems a bit better on movies. By the way, I don't use the subs for music, only HT and games.

Ideally, I want to get more ported subs to go with the Hsu. Why? Just to add a bit more thump and rumble to my movies.




Oh, and Tom, you started it. . .
