I'd agree, except the Ampzilla's appear to be an exception to this rule. Have you heard the 626Rs with the Ampzilla monos?
any suggestions for an inexpensive preamp (tubed or ss) that would be an improvement over the adcom are welcome. as are BIG donations...
re: subs, even if i were to get a pair of rm40's, i'd use my subs & active x-over w/outboard amplification - a pair of vmps largers, a marchand xm-9, & a pair of electrocpmpaniet aw75dmb's. i wouldn't be "covering up" anyting in the mid/high detail, would i? or, since i'm using such awesome subs, should i save my $$$ & yust get a pair of 626r's? i have a big room - ~26x38x8.5... before you say the 626r's couldn't fill my room, my present monitors are small 2-ways, w/focal tweet & 7" eton mid/woof, & they fill the room yust fine w/the subs...thanks,doug s.
Hello Doug,I am not sure how to answer this since so many variables/tastes/preferences are involved buy here are a few thoughts:1) Just about any time you add more bass into a room you will cover up your mid/highs to some extent. Sometimes this is beneficial (increased harmonics, blended resonance, etc.) and sometimes it is not (room modes are almost always destructive to the sound). As an example, I lived in Asia for several years but never was able to get my system to sound good. The painted con ...
i've heard many smaller rooms do, even w/o a pair of vmps larger subs. perhaps i need *another* pair? actually, i guess i could build 'em, as i only need two passive radiators - i have upgraded mine w/the megawoofers & have the original drivers...
my present listening position has my relation w/the speakers in a ~9' equilateral triangle. the speaker faces are ~5' from the rear walls, w/one speaker ~10' from one side wall, the other ~7' from the other wall. there's ~24' behind me to the back wall.
occasionally i will listen in the far-field, ~12'-14' away, & this still gives nice results.
i'd asked for 626-rm40 comparison for my space, cuz, while i'd really like something along the lines of an rm40, budget considerations may preclude this. as folks following this forum are well aware, i've been lusting after new speakers for a *long* time! fortunately my present monitors are more than adequate....
