ACI Titan V.S HSU-TN1225HO
Posted by TV [IP: 205.188.198.43] on August 17, 1999 at 02:59:44 In Reply to: ACI Titan V.S HSU-TN1225HO posted by Jeff VanDyne on August 16, 1999 at 11:52:25: :::Of course, the drawback to this approach is that he has to use active EQ below about 40hz which further limits potential output (beyond the relatively small xmax of the driver). Of course, this is the trade off you get into with subwoofers. You can have high output in a small box but pay a penalty in transient response or good transients but pay the price in total output or overall system size. You can, of course, have both but not without dealing with a much larger sub and probably significantly higher cost in most cases.::: IF, you're looking for low/loud/clean bass, the HSU would probably make the best choice. :::OK, so now that we're through that, what of the total output of the Titan? How big a factor is that going to be for most people? How many of us really listen at reference levels at home? Personally, I find 90db more than loud enough for my own tastes and suspect I'd be paid a visit by the boys (and girls) in blue if I started listening at the levels you've discussed. I just don't see this as all that big of an issue for many people.::: To each their own of course. I think *reference* levels are a little loud myself, I generally listen at -9 to -3dB from *reference*...although I do EQ the LFE signal, so in the end...my 16-35hz range is probably boosted above *reference* anyway. Since human hearing sensitivity rolls off hard under 120hz, I think it's VERY important to have the ability to produce a LOT of clean bass in the 20-30hz range....but that's an individual preference of course.
