    Would S3's or S5's be best in my room

    Good to hear. I had no doubt that you could get your subs integrated. I am in the minority but I think all speakers sound better with subs if not for flexibility alone. Yes I have contacted a dealer to hear the magico s1. They also sell Vivid audio but they don't have the B1s on the floor...

    Wireless Multi Subs?

    Buy what ever subs you want and add JL wireless transmitter to it. $199 for the first one and $99 for additional receivers. http://www.jlaudio.com/home-audio-electronics-jlink

    S sub

    Ok thanks, So if I want to cut the low frequencies to my mains I would have to do it in the pre-amp. It does not seem like there is a way to high pass through the subs. Please correct me if I am wrong.

    S sub

    I want a pair real bad. But 15k is a bit much for me once I buy two and I "need" two lol. I wish they would tell more about how they hook up. Maybe provide a manual. It does not look like they have any external volume or crossover knobs but I could be wrong. I assume they high pass...

    Would S3's or S5's be best in my room

    I hear nothing but good things about the Devialet, they are up and comers for sure. I plan to try one sooner than later. I think the magico s1 will work well for me as my bass is already very good and I know it will blend fine. I am hoping to hear the vivid B1 too but am having trouble...

    Would S3's or S5's be best in my room

    Good information. An active crossover basically splits the signal and then both high and low passes it to different drivers. So if you use a crossover the signal has already been high passed to the mains and low passed to the subs. If you also use the sub's low pass filter in addition to a...

    Would S3's or S5's be best in my room

    I am not familiar with the Devialet so I can't really say. I am also no expert as there are many ways to setup subs. But a high pass is just a crossover on the sub side and you do not want to use the low pass filter when using a high pass. The high pass will have a given slope (12 or 24db...

    Would S3's or S5's be best in my room

    Good to know about the Devialet, I will put it back in my list. If you high pass there should only be one crossover point. No low pass is needed as the mains will only get signal from the crossover point up and the subs get the rest. Over lapping the points I would think would make...

    Would S3's or S5's be best in my room

    The Devialet has high pass capability? I high pass in the subs between the pre amp and amp. I believe the jl crossover works in the digital domain but I am not sure. But would love to try a Devialet but since it lacks another set of line level inputs I thought it would not work for me...

    Would S3's or S5's be best in my room

    For those of you that tried to mix JL audio subs with magicos did you use a high pass crossover? I am using JL's cheaper subs (jl e112) in my system and using the high pass crossovers they blended right in. Without the high pass and just using the low pass the system sounds like total garbage no...

    Subwoofer Crossover Frequency and Top To Bottom Sound Improvement

    When you guys say crossover are you actually using a crossover? I have done it with and without a crossover and there is no comparison. The crossover is much better than trying to pass under the mains without one. I would also argue using a crossover you can set your crossover point MUCH higher...

    Magico S3

    At 22,600 the cheap magico is still too rich for my blood lol. I have two subs anyway so am looking in the S1

    Magico S3

    I have two JL Audio E112 in my house that I have been very pleased with and I am playing with the idea of buying a pair of S1s. But these S3s look very nice too but most likely more than I want to spend.
