Bi-amping 101 I'm about to try this with my Ascents as well utilizing a Threshold S/500II driving the woofers and a Threshold 400A driving the panels. But there are 2 methods to bi-amping. Passive bi-amping is what we're talking about in this thread. That is, utilizing the crossovers in the...

bump for a weekday response...

I’ve been very happy driving my Ascents with one main amp the last 5 years. That amp has been a Jon Soderberg modded Threshold S/500II. The amp sounds fabulous and is rated at 250wpc @ 8 ohms and doubles down to 500wpc at 4 ohms with the Ascents. The amp is bi-wired to the speakers. A...

Hey, I don't think your pic is big enough. I can't see the molecular structure of the faceplate material.

Well dang, I forgot the Ascents are 4 ohms so I'm actually driving them w/500 watts per channel.

I'm currently (or was until it recently smoked an output transitor last week) running my Ascents w/a JS modded 250wpc Threshold S/500 II. This amp controls the Ascents a/authority (I run a Velodyn DD-12 for deep bass). Bass is rich and full at any volume and the panels sing. There is no...

Just to conclude this post, I called M/L on Monday AM and ordered the woofer. I asked about the difference regarding the paper coned vs. alum. coned i woofers and whether I'd get any benefit from upgrading. I was told the alum. woofer was implemented for asthetic reasons and there is no sonic...

And the verdict is:.... I pulled the woofer this AM and put a meter across the leads. No continuity at all. Diagnosis: DEAD WOOFER Well, that's actually very relieving. I'll give M/L a call Monday or Tuesday and have them ship me another one. Looking at the driver, it's actually very...

Good advice, Craig. I think I'll take it. I'll need to pull the woofer out of my good Ascent and put it in the one that's having issues tomorrow. I'd LOVE for it to be a simple blown woofer. My fear is it's more than that and I'll need to send the entire unit back to KS for repair... I run...

Damn amplifier! My Threshold S/500 went down in a freak incident and must've thrown some DC voltage while it was freaking out. Now I need to repair both. I switched amps to a spare Adcom GFA500 and the panel seems fine although the woofer appears to be dead. Does anyone know if the woofer...
