Re: Subwoofer for Hifi
Max I tried but I can't reach the snap button from my backsidehtkaki wrote:Remy, can you take a photo of your backside? Erm, I meant the valve amp's rear. You did mention that it does not have pre-out and I suppose it has only a single pair of speaker terminal.
Anyway it's a typical integrated tube amp. A pair of RCA input and the output is a pair of speaker terminals left and right to connect the speaker cables. Nothing else.
If possible I wanted to use the same sub for both hifi and ht. I'm running out of free power socket. I know REL is definitely the perfect choice connectivity wise and I don't doubt the performance for hifi but a bit worried whether it will perform good with ht.
As for Rythmik, I don't doubt the performance for both hifi and ht but not sure connectivity wise it can do the same as REL. I do not want to keep plug and unplug cables every time.

Re: Subwoofer for Hifi
Then you might really want to consider the connection method I mention in my last post. I assume your amp has got tape/record-out. If not, then unfortunately I think you are stuck la.
Actually still got one more option. But really as a last resort only.

Re: Subwoofer for Hifi
Remy, I thought I can see the backside . Since you mentioned how the backside looks like, the A300SE would be ideal. The tube amp's spkr terminal to connect to F12 spkr terminal line in and then out to your spkrs. As for HT, connect via using sub cable from avr to its line input.arremie wrote:Max I tried but I can't reach the snap button from my backsidehtkaki wrote:Remy, can you take a photo of your backside?

In any instance, you will only switch on either one system.

Re: Subwoofer for Hifi
What if someone switch on the AVR while I was listening to music? Will that do any damage to any equipment? I know a lot of other sub do not allow both connectivity hooked up at the same time.

Re: Subwoofer for Hifi
Sifus,
My pre amp has both balanced (XLR) and RCA output (i.e one output, with XLR and RCA). Can I utilize both at the same time, i.e XLR out to the XLR input of the power amp and the RCA out to the subwoofer RCA input? Any detrimental/disaster effect before I do the above? Is it strictly an 'either or' or both can pakai at same time? Thanks for input.
Remy and Max,
This is a link to Audiogon of an excellent system with a Rythmik sub doing the LF task. I have been communicating with John for quite a while before regarding other things but only recently on the Rythmik/subwoofer thingy.
http://forum.audiogon.com/cgi-bin/fr.pl?vdone&1218038115
Also click on the responses / Q&A part at the bottom with regards to the system and the Rythmik F15
Cheers,
zb

Re: Subwoofer for Hifi
ZB,
My best/safest advice to you,
1. check the owner's manual
2. check with the manufacturer
VERY, VERY LAST choice is to
3. Test it out and see (a very off chance of damage is still there)

Re: Subwoofer for Hifi
KN,
As always, we get 'sesat' first before we check the map (or GPS) before we find the place where we're going
Yes, just checked the manual and yes on page 4, second paragraph clearly stated
".. The main outputs are located at the left-hand side (viewed from the
rear) of the rear panel, two male XLR connectors, and two RCA
connectors, “R” (right) and “L” (left). The RCA connector’s ground
is in parallel with pin 1 of the XLR outputs and the RCA hot is fed
from an independent summing junction that maximizes the X circuit
benefits. The RCA, single-ended, outputs are buffered from the
balanced outputs. You may use both the single ended and balanced
outputs at the same time. "
Duhhh!!
Thank KN.. at least that saves me on another long cable
Cheers

Re: Subwoofer for Hifi
Zee, run in the F12. We shall gather again when you returned from your holidays . With longer cables, we have more position to play with.

Sure thing mate.. btw, hope you had a look at the link in Audiogon.. interesting comments from forumer, esp on the Rythmik ' the Rythmik F15 easily surpassed the performance of the pair of Revel B12's - it was NOT a close contest.... This comes from a guy who runs cableco..
Bro, Jangan Naik Harga, TNB sudah naik, semua mau naik
See u then ...
cheers..

Re: Subwoofer for Hifi
I've settled for REL T1. Wanna only get the smaller T3 but during audition I got poisoned by T1. Thinking I wanted to also use this as a HT sub I might need the superior low end T1 can provide over T3.
So far I'm happy with it but still a lot of fine tuning to do. Bass tuning for stereo music is far harder than I thought. HT is pretty straight forward no rocket science there.
Thanks for all the ideas
