Good evening Rick.
The best use of a subwoofer (in a non conventional deployment )
At the last audio show ..a very expensive set up had 2 subwoofers in the back of the room to act as an active phase cancellation technique..it got rid of the boom ..and brought the Basss!
I see alot of listening rooms set up with 2 subs. For a large room it must. be great
@@TheJoyofVinylRecords it was in the Von Schweikert Audio room 😅💸💸💸
Good to hear you took the leap here. Sounds like you found the sub for you. I didn't realize how small it really is. That's a good thing for some.
I've had it for a month now with my A500s. It was so easy to set up for someone who knows very little about this sort of thing. Very happy with it!
It really is an easy setup. Completely agree, Bernard!
I can’t stress enough how much better my SVS sb2000 sounded after adding a dsp and room correcting it. I really only had one spot it would fit in my room that wasn’t ideal but the dsp worked wonders. Also I’ve order ordered from The Tube Store a few times. Good experience each time.
I highly recommend the Tube Store. Always a great experience and very fast shipping
Great video as always 👏👌I have two subwoofers . Dali sub on one system and Yamaha sub on the other system. And my experience is that it is before sub and after sub. I am very satisfied with the listening experience after I acquired my subwoofers. The room fills up with much fuller sound. So my advice is : Woofers to the people. All the best from Kristiansand 😁😁😁
"Woofers to the people" - perfect! 🍺
I play almost exclusively reggae- subwoofer mandatory. I like to start with the sub on low and bring it up to "meet" the other speakers.
Recently added a Roger Sound Labs speedwoofer 10s MK II to go with my Klipsch rp 600m ii's. I've always loved what subs add to music but I wasn't prepared for how much it would take movie viewing to the next level! I love this sub!
Nice, Cap!
Hi there, this is mu first time watching your channel and I am quite happy because, well. I've got the I150 integrated amplifier by Buchardt and a pair of S400MKII, which have probably one of the very best crossover units evr produced within this price range, so much so that you only find this kind of component in speakers costing over 20 or 25 grand. the amplifier versatility is just insane, only problem for you or your regular viewer is that it has not phono preamp but that easy to fix I guess. Anyway, I've been thinking about it and next year I'm going to get myself one of these subs. The amp has already room correction which is phenomenal, not to mention parametric EQ, shelving, high, low filters, I mean countless possibilities, 2 sub connectivity and bass management, just for starters, then 400 watt on 4 ohm. I had a few systems and trust me this one is truly magical, the music sounds completely different richer, bigger, incredible huge tridimensional stage, lots of air and a bass so rich , full, gorgeous and defined which I never experienced before with cristal clear high frequencies which you never get tired of. Mads Buchardt is simply a genius. Thanks for the video, it says that I was right on the bull's eye with my system . Much love from West Spain ❤
Cheers from NH to Spain 🍺
I was using my Klipsch 12" sub with my old Magnepans and my little Wharfedale Diamond 2.0 speakers and was able to get it to the point that it wasn't locatable by ear. But once I got my Zu Audio DW6 speakers I shut it down, since 30 Hz is low enough for me. Personally I'd rather have my speakers do what I want in the first place and not deal with a subwoofer.
I completely get that
There's engineering talk about the 'near-field experience', which is when you place your subwoofer behind your listening chair/sofa.
I'm no expert with subs, but from what I experienced, it can be placed almost anywhere with exceptions and depending on the room.
Nice 👍 review of the new sub. I'll take 2 🍺🍺.
Coincidentally McIntosh just came out with a $35K sub. With the customary meter. Sheesh 🙄.
They love their meters!
Subwoofers were necessary for me since I had to move my speakers out from the back wall nearly 8 feet because of a large window behind them. Glass is the worst material for acoustics. With the speakers so far out, there was no rear wall bass enforcement, so I had to use subs. Sounds great. Subwoofers are not a likely mismatch, or hard to integrate usually. Just audio scarers.
Windows are the worst.
Great review! I am looking to add a sub to my system in my 30x13 feet living room. My first idea was to buy a Rel S510 but as you mentioned, room placement for this big subwoofer is basically impossible in my main living space. So this S10 looks like the perfect alternative especially for getting a quality bass to match my very tight and fast Dynaudio Confidence 5 speakers. Do you think it could work considering the size of my room?
Secondly, Wow, Darwin cables 😃! All my system is wired with them. Amazing cable! Happy to see somebody else got to know them.
Hi, Francois! You're the first commenter who's also used Darwin cables! Great to hear.
And yes - I definitely think the Sub10 will work in that room. There's alot of power in that thin box. If your room was 30x30 that would be different. If you're not opposed to DSP, the Sub10 will really help there as well.
Looks suspiciously like the Lyngdorf BW-2 ;)
I have 2 subs and have been wanting to run Dirac to get them right. I know from a previous setup how good it can be.
two thoughts: 1) subwoofer(s) - hard yes. Make it two. I have been in the cult for a year. Big difference for a small price 2) grills on the Buchardts - no, NO NO :)
🤣🤣🤣
What do you consider a medium to small room? By US standards everything in the Netherlands is small. My room is 35 square meters, I am running a NAD M33 with the reissued Tannoy Cheviots. I do not use a sub for HT and want musicality first. Considering a REL 99 but this Buchardt really got my interest because of the room correction and ease of placement while not being overly large.
I love the form factor of this sub.
@@TheJoyofVinylRecords the wife would agree 😂 I also like the fact that, from what I hear, the placement is easier.
But do you think it would be big enough for my room which is 376 square feet? Thanks and happy holidays!
@@macroenie It would. There's power packed into it. Helps, that it's an active sub as well.
@@TheJoyofVinylRecordsthank you!
Does this benefit your tube amp? I just ordered an ST-70 from Kenny Russell over at GET DYNCO. It’s my first delve into the tube world and I invested in a TOTL unit. I’m curious if I would need or have the option to use additional speakers or the load would only power the 2 channels. Just curious
I've never heard the ST-70 so can't directly speak to that pairing with a sub like the S10. The Galion TS120 has a sub out and it doesn't necessarily require a sub to reach those low frequencies - but it did benefit from being paired with the amp. Most of my time with the S10 was with it hooked up to a Denon 600NE. All that being said - I have a new tube amp hooked up to my main system that doesn't need any help from a sub.
@@TheJoyofVinylRecordsYou've never heard of the ST-70!?!?!? 🙀
It's the most popular tube amp there is. They've sold millions of them. 🤷♂️🤦♂️
@@amb3cog Lol - I said "I never heard it" - I have heard of it.
To the OP. Yes it can help your tube amp. By high passing your main speakers with the DSP in the sub. You'll be taking a big load off that Dynaco. So less distortion, and more SPL/volume.
Not totally sure about the last part though. Maybe this will help though.
Basically you would do preamp into sub, and sub into that amp. Than run your two speakers off the amp. So you would need a preamp, ST-70 amp, Buchardt sub, and 2 speakers only. ✌️
@@TheJoyofVinylRecords Oh my bad. They're surprisingly modern, and neutral sounding. Not all syrupy like many vintage tube amps. Underwhelming at first. But after a while. You really appreciate them. ✌️
Great video, and I was in a similar situation! I am analogue only, I have a modest setup, my speakers are the Dali menuet SE, small speakers but incredible sound. I had a REL tZero MKiii which was redundant from my cinema setup. REL do things differently with regard to connection, my model has no bluetooth, DSP, or room correction, so "dialling in" is done manually, not too difficult and plenty of REL videos for guidance, but with regards to connections, if you are without a sub out, or pre outs then you use the proprietary cable to connect directly to the speaker terminals, very clever design and sound is faultless!
Always hear great things about REL
I run two of those in my 12x12x8 room. With a pair of Kef R300's (two generations back from R3 Meta's), and I'm flat to below 30hz.
Could never go back to no subs. And what a difference when watching movies.
I bought a pair of long RCA sub cables (World's Best Cables/Amazon. Highly recommended, and very reasonable) for ease of use, and to be able to use them with class D amps.
They sound the same to me hooked up either way. And they take care of every "problem" mentioned in this video. Took all of 5 minutes to set them up properly. Love REL subs now. ✌️
No high-level input is a show-stopper if you only have sources going directly into a tube integrated with no sub or line out. That pre-to-sub-to-amp solution is way too clever for typical tube amp users.
Can they be run as a left right pair? Yeah I know - sub bass is supposedly not directional.... but!
You mean 2? I know there are folks who do that.
@@TheJoyofVinylRecords Yes, I run dual SVS 3000 Micro subs from the L/R SE Outs on my Schiit Freya+ preamp. I love that SVS subs have an app for setting your subs from your listening position.
Dose it go below 20hz?
I believe it reaches down to 20Hz but not below
@TheJoyofVinylRecords do I need a sub if my speakers go down to 30hz?
Why??
@@MasterofPlay7 I can't say you "need" one. If you enjoy how it sounds now you're all set. If you're getting below 30hz that's good.
If your room isn't too big or you don't play your music that loud, there's a deep bass master tuning for this sub, which can be downloaded from buchardt's website. It'll tune the sub to play down to 16hz but with lower SPL.
I'm back with a few more comments. First, the price of the S 10 is 1,300 Euros, or ($1,402.50) if anyone cares. Second, the lowest note on a 4 string bass guitar is an E, which produces a frequency of 41.2 Hz. The reason I mention this is because the type of rock music you primarily listen to, does not contain much energy below that frequency. (This does not include rap or hip hop, since they cheat and use sub-harmonic synthesizers to achieve "low" bass. To really appreciate what a sub-woofer can do, I must bring up classical music again. Pipe organs can produce lows down to 16 Hz., and concert bass drums have fundamentals around 30 Hz. The point is, The Who and The Clash can't truly demonstrate what a sub-woofer can do to extend the low frequency reproduction of your system. I use a 10-inch powered sub with my Magneplanars, since they don't do well below 50 Hz, and the difference with and without is surprising.
Good info, Paul!
. The lowest note on the The Who's 1982 premiere release of the Eminence Front recording is 42Hz. If a fuller sounding playback is being enjoyed, it's because the main loudspeaker pair don't adequately reproduce those very (sonically) audible bass guitar notes.
Subsonic Transducers were NEVER intended for instrumental playback. There are no subsonic instruments. There is only the synthetic frequencies of movie's with earthquake type special effects, hip-hop & Electronic dance music as examples.
Out of phase 180 controls. Why don't regular loudspeakers have these? Because no one places the right speaker in a far corner with the left speaker positioned typically. That creates a smeared time of arrival to the listener (out of phase).
Poor subwoofer placement. In this case, where the sound is confirmed to be audible, then there IS, yes IS stereo, soundstage imaging not heard. It's been relegated to a time smeared mono acoustic effect only. If it can be heard, there's imaging.
The solution to hearing Eminence Front's full range from a loudspeaker which inadequately
plays those low frequencies is to add a pair of stereo (woofer) bass cabinets, not sub-bass cabinets. Remember that the higher a sub plays frequencies, the worse it sounds. Even though some subs cross over at up to 150Hz, no one would ever pair a set of monitors with them set there expecting to hear good sound even though the range is covered.
$1,400 would be much better spent (besides the fact there's thousands of subs in pawn shops everywhere) on equipment that has value outside of it's stated purpose. The all-in-one approach of Cabinet, Woofer, Crossover & Power Amplifier solution ties all those parts together in a singular inflexible use only. Spend the money on a power amplifier capable of powering not just that one inseparable driver.

Acid Jazz, Funk & Brass 🔈🔉🔊
You say that there is no subsonic instrument, but a large chuch organ can definitely play subsonic notes.
