Hi, I'm using a SB3, Rotel RA01 + Focal bookshelf speakers, and Rythmik sub. Not too dissimilar. > But I notice from listening comparisons of CDs through a modest CD > player that the SB3 has less range than the CDs, particularly at the > bass end of things, and to my ears sounds 'thinner' somehow. > Incidentally, I do use FLAC. If your concern is the bass response, have you spent any time tweaking your sub setup (crossover, phase, and room placement) for a flat in-room frequency response? If not, this should be your first stop. If you havent done this before there are plenty of good guides on other subwoofer forums - usually oriented to home cinema performance but the same principles apply to hifi. The tools should be well under your budget. You will need either an SPL meter or measurement microphone, and plenty of time. The SPL meter will be slight cheaper, but the measurement microphone but will then let you use the Inguz plugin's room correction. This may be the best *and* cheapest upgrade you ever make. _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
