I'm have these speakers: http://www.theabsolutesound.com/arti...ii-loudspeaker I'm not sure what the real world specs are but they are fine with the Inspire. They need the right capacitors, like PIO and some normal speaker wire and IC's. Like the WE wire on Jeff Day's blog. Sometimes what is old is new. Last edited by FloridaBoy; 08-16-2017 at 11:03 AM. |

Adding to Rosco's reply... the servo function in subs increased damping so ringing is decreased. This makes for subs that are described as more articulate and less bloated (no "one-note bass"). The servo feedback loop helps the cone stop more quickly.
I also have Rythmik 12" subs and Rythmik 8" midbass modules to supplement the low end for my Omega SAMs which only get signal above 180Hz. The Inspire powers the SAMs. For me this takes care of the concerns about my 12wpc being enough for higher demand music like orchestral. A cool feature in Rythmik amps is a switch to set for high, medium, or low damping according to your tastes. Brian Ding is the brains behind Rythmik.

Evidently, the SUB driver cones have to be very light to overcome the physical inertia of typical heavier SUB drivers, otherwise the servo amp would never be able to control the frequencies involved. I'll need to check Rythmik again (I was told about these some time ago, although not in this particular context). Thanks! |

Do I misunderstand your question? I think you know all this and use Harrison FMODs to accomplish this, no? |

I may be wrong, since I have yet to try this approach, which otherwise sounds promising. |

Maybe semantics, but I don't consider the low end "boosted" in my system. I've worked to blend my mid-woofs and sub-woofs well with the mains filtered out where they do their work. I would call it boosted if the mains were full range and I added subs on top of that. All of this depends on overall listening volume level however. I tend to keep the bulk of the levels at around 80db at the listening position. Of course, peaks occur higher. But if I were to listen at, say, 95db, then peaks would be higher still and my experience may not hold at those levels. Last edited by pstrisik; 08-16-2017 at 01:59 PM. |

I see. Thanks for sharing that. It looks as if this is a feasible avenue for me, then. I'm about to get me a Gen 5 USB input module from Schiit to work with my Gen 3 moduled Yggdrasil, plus a good SPDIF coaxial digital cable, and I need to solder the Copper VCaps in my amp. After that (and all the while I'll be reviewing the Rythmik literature), I will consider going this way. If it works, it would really be ideal, as these Inspire units are gems!

One other thing to consider. One thing I can vouch for is my lip-3a (upgraded from Lp-2 9 pin) is has significant additional gain than my lp-27a. More oomph with the inspire sound. If your close with the subs and such, this may be that last thing to achieve nirvana. |
