F112 vs F113

[Big B]

cool little magazine. I always liked those guys. They are now the guys behind the Taves Show. Got to run out pick up the daughter but I'll be reading as soon as I get back.

Mike, what about Pass Labs XVR-1? It’s very flexible and does a great job from what I heard and seen at Howard’s (The Sandman) home. He has a pair of JL F12s and they are seamlessly incorporated into has dedicated 2CH system. He has a pair of Magico s5s.

George - it's definitely under consideration - but I would need to compare the two products to see. Right now my plan is:

two F212's
and then some form of EQ/Crossover or DSP.

Two 212s? Wow, you mean business!

I am watching this thread with interest. Seems that I do prefer the 12' listening position mentioned in my other thread, but that has the bass hump. I might be going down the route of two subs as well some day. But certainly not 2 F212s!

My DSPeaker 2.0 Dual Core arrived today. Calibration is under way. Report later.

Corrected:



Results? Amazing. Problem solved.

Niiiice! Measures well. How does she sound now?

 

[Mike]

Excellent! I may try the subs and remeasure for fun.

Two 212's will actually allow for less volume on each sub which will lower distortion and result in cleaner, tighter more accurate bass. Just my opinion and experience.

Look forward to it, Mike!

How did you integrate the DSPeaker into your chain ? Look forward to your listening impressions on what it does .

Either in a 2.0,2.1 or 2.2 setup. I'm running it in 2.2. So far, the results are excellent...as in 73-78hz bass problem in my room - SOLVED! I'm moving some stuff around and recalibrating. Will report back later.

Quick update on the DSPeaker 2.0 Dual Core.

I found that it produced the best results when I calibrated for the mains only, then add the subs in at a very low volume to blend (with no calibration) later.

I think the ideal solution would be JL Audio Fanthom series subs with their built in DSP/room correction. Get the subs dialed into the room using the built in JL Audio tools, then dial in the main speakers separately. Combine the two and listen!

For just mains, the dual core works as promised without taking anything away. When I had the subs split off and included them in the analysis and configuration, the resulting room EQ was not as affective probably due to timing and the addition of four subs into the mix (each of my subs is a dual sub configuration). It was only 50% better under this setup. When I did just the mains and then afterwards added the subs at a barely audible level, it was 100% better.

This little device works as promised. It focuses just on bass issues (approx. 150hz down, although it can be configured to run up to 500hz down if you have problems in the 200-300 region for example).

I obviously still want to live with the Dual Core for a few more weeks before drawing any final conclusions, but I can say that tiding up mid bass humps does so much for the music. Everything is cleaner, clearer, and vocals are smooth and more forward.
