Yes, you need to know what you are trying to control. Broadband absorption? Bass room modes control? Diffusion? Any of these may be called for, but before you can decide on which, you have to have an...

Interesting, the many different ways to hook up the DSPeaker.

In my system, the effect of taming the room modes via DSP has been that it has allowed me to move the listening position about a foot...

Which connection scheme did you end up with?

My DSPeaker Dual Core outputs to my REL Sub from the RCA outs and to my preamp from its XLR outs. The preamp feeds a tube amp, which feeds my SL3s. The...

I had good results with Home Depot folding louvered doors forming a wedge behind my SL3s, but they are set 3 feet behind. Maybe worth trying in your situation. You can always return them if they do...

For a long time I had been listening to my SL3s with the M L recommended toe-in so that the flashlight test would center the inner third of the panels.

More recently, I relocated my RPG absorption...

As mentioned in the other thread, you will get best results by *supplementing* the SL3's own woofer with a sub, not by attempting to substitute one for the other. This will allow you to set the sub's...

I would not recommend "replacing" your SL3s woofers. However, you may consider supplementing them with a good sub. I use a REL T1, which integrates well with my SL3s. I highly recommend something...

Welcome. I've had my SL3s for quite a while. They are indeed superb. Hope you'll enjoy yours for quite a while.

I used both with my REL T1. I found no audible difference between the two methods. Recently I inserted a DSPeaker AntiMode Dual Core DAC/EQ in my main system, so the line level connection is the only...

My REL also works best centered between the main speakers, and a couple of feet behind them.

I second the recommendation of REL for subwoofers. I have a modest REL T1, which works very well with my SL3s in a 2.1 system, all corrected for room modes by a DSPeaker AntiMode Dual Core. But be...

Welcome from another SL3 owner!

Still great speakers. (My SL3s are paired with a REL T1 sub).

Welcome from another Marylander!

Ciao, Carletto

Benvenuto!

Welcome from a fellow SL3 owner!

Hope to see photos of your system soon.

Hi:

What information are you looking for?

I used to drive my SL3s with B&K M200 Sonatas, which I still have in my closet. I may still have the manual somewhere.

Welcome to the club!

Before you lay out serious $$ for speaker wires, may I suggest an unorthodox choice: Home Depot Outdoor Heavy Duty orange-and-gray extension. Sure, you'd have to terminate...

The test tone is loud. But all you have to do is turn down the sub's volume (start low and increase gradually until you reach a comfortable level, then use that level for the test). For the test to...

You may want to try a subwoofer DSP equalizer. I use the DSpeaker Antimode 8033 to control a REL T1 sub with my SL3s and it has been very effective in taming the room modes. It requires no active...

Ciao and welcome from a former Milanese (Piazza Duomo 19!), now in the Washington, DC suburbs.

Right now my mobility is somewhat limited by old-age achaques, but I'll post my experience with tubes and bi-amping once I get to do the deed.

Any other bi-amped Marylanders?

Rich:

Your enthusiasm is contagious! One of these days (soon), I'll have to give it a try.

Guido F.

Thank you for the clarification, Erik.

Somehow I never thought of trying that out with my SL3s. Currently, they are driven by a Music Reference RM 200 Mk II (tube), but I still have my old B&K...

Erik:

Did you mean solid state and tube electronics?

Guido F.

In my search for a subwoofer that integrated well with my SL3s, I ended up getting a REL T1. It does not shake the house, but it supplies the surprisingly little bass augmentation that the SL3s need....
