New Emotiva Speakers?

[Talley]

lol... musical sub. a great sub = great sub. does it all great. I find that most who don't find subs musical are because they haven't integrated them properly.

Imo if a sub can't play to at least 20hz and do it with power it's not a good sub that's why I would like to see what the frequency response is for these new emotiva subs.

I totally agree with you Talley, most people who don't enjoy the addition of subs are in fact setting them up improperly. If your bass is boomy or muddy you need to try varying where the sub is, where it is crossed over and a whole host of other things. There are cheap subs out there that sound boomy though so it pays to shop around.

Well sorry. Lets recap my statement with more:

1. Poor integration - Even mine are not perfect but there are folks who are extremely knowledgable w/ this and it takes alot to get them perfect
2. Underpowered - enough said
3. wrong size... you don't bring a 8 or 10" sub to the mix and again it's all about your desired frequency range.

Here is what I like to stick to:

10" sub = down to 30hz good for music only in small rooms must have at least 300w or more
12" sub = minimum for movies, better for music plays down to mid 20s adequately 500w+
15" sub = getting perfect now... 750w+ and hits down into the 18hz range decent and sealed makes one hell of a midbass when properly sized enclosure
18" sub = best, 1500w+ now were talking
21-24" sub = bestest 3000w+ per woofer

ALL THIS REQUIRES PROPER ENCLOSURE MATCHING period AND must be matched to your size room.  1200cu-ft can get away with smaller subs....  3,000 needs dual 15s imho and larger than that rooms then lots more.

I was happy with a dual 8" sub setup until I got a 15" dual sub setup...

And you bring up another good point.

This is also my 100% pure opinion that you absolutely have to have stereo subs = dual.  A mono sub just won't cut it.  I laugh when I see a two speaker system w/ a single sub (yes I laugh at myself lol).  My next purchase is the second HSU for my system.

When do you think we will get specs on these speakers?

My guess is when they post them on there website and Cathy Laufman said after April 1, 2016. She is the boss.
