I called today to get RMA #'s to return the HC-1 amps. When I got home I was still wrestling with my decision to return them when I discovered I hadn't exhausted the variables in connection types, namely, XLR vs RCA, Balanced vs Unbalanced. So I reconnected the amps using XLR to RCA cables and sure enough, things are not so easy anymore. I'll need a few more days . . . . As you know I have been running the HC-1 amps and after about a month of running them everyday and then running DIRAC I am in absolute bliss. I ran two dirac filters, one as the L and R set to Large and one where every speaker is at small with a 80 crossover. Thus far I love the filter where the L and R are set to large the base kicks and with my external sub it blends them all exceptionally. I hear lots of detail and yes the soundstage is wide! I am sure at some point I will upgrade (when I run into cash) as I am sure there is better however for what I paid for these I am stoked. I have a SINGLE sub. A simple 12" with plate amp / built in crossover. Probably 300 different takes on this on the market. Take your pick! I chose HSU Research.....They're fairly close (like 70 miles) and I was able to avoid shipping altogether. I TOO note the increased stage with the sub on. A simple flick of the switch to OFF and stage with collapses. I have my sub set to cross (24db / octave) about 45hz to 50hz. I write off the stage improvement to OVERTONES. The result is very musical, while movie effects can rattle the walls. |
