Post Subject: For now....Posted by Romy the Cat on: 8/18/2016

“A large room, open to the stairs, maybe a dozen watts to play with” that was exactly my concern from beginning. Of cause I could employ a more powerful amps from bottom but it my case it would be under 100Hz and it would be a big white flag. So, as I was setting up the playback and truing it up for the first time my primary concern was if Milq bas channels will drive the room. To my huge surprise it does. I use 4 drivers in array for now and it is very nice. Here is where my disagreement with Scat derives from. He feels that it is promising from general sonic perspective. From general sonic perspective Sound is crap of cause. However, I am listening what I need to hear and from I need to hear the result very much beats my expectations. Currently bass is somewhere 2-hdB less than it has to be (I did not measure anything) and very tight. I know the audio writers love this type of bass but I want vomit from it. Also, that is exactly type of bass I want to hear now. The Milq bass channel is set to see sub 3R but as not I drive it with 8R, so the amp understandably idle and eats harmonics. As I add more woofers in parallel I will drop the loading impedance, load the amp, gain softness, harmonics and gain and I think I very much might be at the place I would like to be. I have ordered a pair of 2 driver sections, let see what it will lend me. My minor concern is about power. I need to drive the room at 0db and to see where my 6C33C will clip. In this room I think I might end up with 30-40Hz, where is where my ULF might go. I still might be lucky and to have enough power to go all the way down but I doubt. Scot is right the room has a lot of very good location for clandestine ULF and I very much will consider it. I do not do any measurement at this point as I do not have my listening location locked (the furniture quandary) but I have plenty of things to do for now without measurements.
