For Me Bass Is The Most Important Part

of any audio system because it affects everything else that we hear so much and I’m sure some of you. I think you know terry it’s it’s the vocals. It’s the mid–range that is the most important well. We can do a simple test on this play a piece of music get an amplifier with tone controls and turn the bass one up a little bit and I bet. You know things sound better.

I Bet.

The music sounds more pleasing. It’s a bit richer, a bit warmer and that vocal probably sounds a little bit more solid in the center and then take that bass control and turn it all the way off and I bet things don’t sound as good anymore do they I bet the music’s rhythm and energy and life is gone. I bet that solid central vocal. Just been enjoying now sounds empty on Hollow.

I Genuinely Think That Base From

500 Hertz and down is the most important part to try and you know get right as part of a hi-fi system set up and yet it’s really really difficult because there’s so many external factors influencing what we hear, but when we’re talking about sub subwoofers or sub bass frequencies, then really we’re talking about probably 100 hertz and down so yeah very deep. You know very low bass frequencies and yet I’ve been to a number of real subwoofer demos where they demonstrate that the rails can improve the perception of a hi-fi system sound for vocals. They can improve the perception of a hi-fi system sound for sound stage sound stage width and soundstage depth that’s a really interesting one to experience and that a few times it’s been shown to me that. Can improve the hi-fi systems or your perception of the Hi-fi system’s treble and I think that is the tone controls demo that we kind of spoke about before, but maybe there’s more to it than that either way with all of these demos. All of the direct live calibrations.

Ive Done Now For All Of

the different Av and hi-fi systems. I can confidently sit here and say that I believe 99 of audio systems will benefit from well set up subwoofers, but what if you are the one you know your system sounds great you don’t need subwoofers well. I’ve tried to test that as part of the reviews of a pair of Sirius 510 subwoofers. This is a review that has been split into two halves because I’ve had the real Sirius 510 subwoofers here for a number of months. But I haven’t always been able to.

Of What Other Products Ive Been

reviewing so hopefully regulars to the channel will remember back to earlier in the year when I reviewed the Tad compact Evolution one speakers and they were the first speakers that I reviewed and really listened to when I changed my room around and at the time I hadn’t found the optimum position in the room for speakers for bass combined with I think just the character of the Tad ce ones and the hi-fi system and how I had that set up. I just wasn’t really getting the kind of bass that I was looking for from the system at that time. So in that instance, adding the real subwoofers was like a night and day improvement to the sound of the system and I was impressed by how fast and detailed and lively and punchy and do it all pretty much Bob. Perfect the bass was from the rails and I was able to integrate them to be seamless with the Tad speakers, so you couldn’t hear where the subwoofer started and the speakers finished and the Tad Ce1 are 20 000 pound speakers and the Baby s-series subs from real were more than able to keep up with them and massively improve actually the sound of that system, but roll on a few months. I am now much more used to listening to hi-fi systems and setting them up in the new listening room with the new acoustics.

Ive Found Now A Much Better Spot

in the room for speakers, which is more balanced between the bass delivery and the three-dimensional sound stage. It’s still a compromise, but a much better compromise and on top of that I have been using a great amplifier and i’ve made some other improvements to. I have been enjoying my best ever Hi-fi sound in this listening room and the Mission 770s are stunningly good speakers not on paper only deliver bass down to about 40 Hertz, but in practice they are delivering a measured bass performance in this listening room down to around 20 Hertz. Because of room boundary gain and I have dialed in the missions. In this listening room we’re using Dirac to be within about an inch of perfection or at least I thought I had and like I mentioned I’ve been enjoying my best ever Hi-fi sound in this listening room, which is something I’ve had some amazing Hi-fi systems in here before and I have been totally satisfied with the sound of the system totally satisfied with the bass from the Mission 770 speakers.

Yes I Know Its Not Perfect, But Its

been totally satisfying so I feel like. In that one percent of situation where I feel totally satisfied with the system and I’m mindful of the fact that a pair of S510 subwoofers are now more expensive significantly actually than the speakers which I am fine with because we can’t have perfect hi-fi sound without perfect bass and for 2 299 pounds. We do get very lovely looking subwoofers with a very high quality gloss paint finish and I’ve been more than happy to have them here in my listening room because I think they look really cool and I am a go commando audio file but the grills yeah they’re big they’re chunky and they’re heavy and again very nice, but a big part of me just enjoys seeing the silver drivers and enjoys seeing the drivers moving and the side panel designs with those handles yes it’s a little indulgent maybe in the flesh it’s. Nice and does break up the atypical black box look. The S510 feature a 10-inch continuous cast aluminium alloy main driver that is actively driven and underneath.

Is A 12-Inch Passive Radiator That

has a large amount of linear travel for better performance, and the system is driven by a 500 watt class D amplifier, but let’s be real here for a minute. You can buy subwoofers that are much larger and much more powerful for the same price as the Rel S510s and they will probably deliver more bass output at deeper frequencies and maybe higher spL levels overall if that is what you’re looking for and realm sell subwoofers that are larger and more powerful for quite a bit. Less money I used to have four of them in here, but they are missing. Rel’s main USP their unique selling point which is the high-level connection and the high level connection is the subwoofer taking its analog input signal from your Hi-fi systems amplifier output and that will feed into what ReL call their perfect filters with ReL’s. Main goal being the subwoofer being able to deliver sub-bass frequencies with the same speed or faster than your main speakers and for this review.

I Have Used The Rails Exclusively

for two channel Hi-fi use no home cinema use and I have used them exclusively with Rel’s baseline blue high-level subwoofer cables and rails. Say they are the best high-level subwoofer cables for the job and i’m fine with that. But the reason I ask for them is because they come with a nice quality spade connection at the amplifier end, which just makes wiring them up much easier and I prefer the really. That you can get with the spade and when you’re changing gear as much as I am the speed of that connection and the quality of that connection. You know just makes you feel more secure about what you’re doing and that’s the one thing that I don’t really love about the normal rail high-level subwoofer cables is that bare wire and I always felt like they would be better if they come with a spade connection as well so coming back to my one percent situation just to recap so I’ve got the hi-fi system set up.

You Know The Best I Possibly Can Delivering

me the best Hi-fi sound. I’ve ever had in my listening room before I was happy really really happy with the sound of the Hi-fi system. Totally satisfied with the bass that I was getting from the mission 770s. I knew it wasn’t perfect. One of those kind of dreams that audiophiles have that’s very rarely ever able to be a reality, but it was totally satisfying bass so what happened when I added the rails to the system well interestingly pretty much the same thing as when I added them to the tad Ce1.

I Want To First Talk About The Benefit

of the rails for vinyl playback. Because I was really quite surprised and impressed by that if I pull this up here. This this is a record hopefully you can see that it’s not too bright. This is a record that was gifted to me by Darley at the recent Munich High high end high five show and you know Darley is in the speaker manufacturer Dali and this is a record that I can strongly recommend that you buy because it’s an audio file grade recording, but it’s actually music.

That You Can Enjoy Listening To We Dont

always get that and I would say it’s a mixture of maybe a bit of blues and a bit of folk type music, but with a modern sort of sound and a modern style. And there’s some guitar in there and there’s some other bits of enjoyable bits and big male vocal really nicely recorded actually male vocal and obviously. The album’s got some bass but it isn’t necessarily an album that screams subwoofer bass to you, but listening to this album between having the rails on and off the difference was huge there was much more body and soul to the singer’s voice with the rails much more overall presence to the music, more grandiose and scale and overall more fullness and warmth and richness to everything. This album with this system set up like this in my room made the entry-ish level avid ingenium turntable sound not entry-level at all, and it was not perfect of course, but what the rails were adding was really making the difference by filling in a lot of what was obviously missing when they were turned off and subjectively.

I Much Preferred Listening To This

album with the subwoofers on and off obviously. I listened to other records as well. But I Don’t have a huge record collection so that part of the review was quite limited, but it didn’t matter what the music I was listening to I preferred subjectively preferred the sound with the rails on so what happened when I added the rails to the system for digital playback well pretty much the same thing again straight away vocals sounded better more full and more solid and that’s male and female vocals and overall the system sounded more complete more fall from top to bottom as you look onto the musical picture happening in front of you, and there was more information there than before which is an interesting one because it’s more base information that’s helping.

  • vocals mid range important simple
  • hi fi totally satisfied bass
  • sound stage compromise better compromise
  • practice delivering measured bass performance
  • bass important audio affects hear

Summary

For me Bass is the most important part of any audio system because it affects everything else that we hear so much and I’m sure some of you . I bet things don’t sound as good anymore do they I bet the music’s rhythm and energy and life is gone. I bet that solid central vocal.& Just been enjoying now sounds empty on Hollow.& I bet. The music sounds more pleasing.& It’s a bit richer, a bit warmer and that vocal probably sounds a little bit more solid in the center and then take that bass control and turn it all the way off. And yet it’s really really difficult because there’s so many external factors influencing what we hear, but when we’re talking about sub sub subwoofers or sub bass frequencies, then really we are talking about probably 100 hertz and down so yeah very deep.& You know very low bass frequencies and yet I’ve been to a number of real subwoofer demos where they demonstrate that the rails….
