IMAGINE WHIRLLED PEAS

Man, Do I! As expected, some systems come together better than others, regardless of the components involved. In this case, I found something very rare for my liking. The bass didn't just improve,>> it's the bass that I haven't heard for years. Just the right level and integration, and the use of a Velodyne SMS-1 provide the balance that I missed so much. To be clear, a Velodyne SMS-1 is a bass management system that measures the room using a mike and your sub, and then adjusts the EQ accordingly. At first, I was using the Velodyne just for the crossover to the main amp in my system. The reason for this is that the line level crossover in the GR Research amp lost one channel. I have no idea why and don't care, because using it means long runs of interconnects to and from. Ok, so as I stated, the music is quite moving now, not only in the bass, but above the crossover frequency of 70 hz. I have listened to numerous albums, mostly with surprise of the fact that there is the best bass to be had, and sometimes not. Point is really good recordings are overwhelming to me. That is because I haven't heard them 'correctly' in some time. You might wonder why I am using servo sub with DNA2 speakers. Simple really, in my room speaker placement isn't much of an option concerning the best placement for bass. Fortunately, the midrange on up is fantastic using the Mark Audio 12P drivers. They do pretty good bass, but are rather made for frequencies above say 80-100hz IMO. Since the DNA2 sound is fast to begin with, a servo sub was the best choice as it blends perfectly.
