MY Place sbayneIt's been a wild ride as these upgraded crossovers break-in. The caps are obviously huge, there is 18 meters of new Duelund wire and lots of new soldier joints. When I first got them back from Bill... posted over 8 years ago | View comment | |
MY Place sbayneAs some of you may know, Grannyring (Bill) did some extensive upgrading of the crossovers in his pair of Double Impacts. After talking to him about those upgrades and seeing pictures of the quality... posted over 8 years ago | View comment | |
MY Place sbayneI've now added Iso-Pucks under the F8s - another improvement in sound quality. The big news, however, is yet to come. I'm convinced there is even more sound quality to squeeze out of this system. T... posted over 8 years ago | View comment | |
MY Place sbayneYep, not surprised they responded well to the Aurio Pros. This speaker really reveals changes in your system whether good or bad. Regards. posted over 8 years ago | View comment | |
MY Place sbayneWell, the Iso-Pucks are keepers! Pretty much every area of sound quality was improved. I'll probably get some for under my F8s or some other IsoAcoustics product if the F8s are too heavy for the Is... posted over 8 years ago | View comment | |
MY Place sbayne@aniwolfe - I've been reading over on the Double Impact boards that IsoAcoustics are becoming popular with that crowd. I found a pretty good deal on a set of IsoAcoustics Iso-Pucks so I'm going to ... posted over 8 years ago | View comment | |

MY Place sbayneThanks @aniwolfe! I use Herbie's Iso-Cups under my Impact Monitors and have added some weight on the top of the monitors to stabilize/couple them to the Iso-Cups. It did make a very nice ... posted over 8 years ago | View comment | |
MY Place sbayneWell the maple blocks and the bigger Tranquility Bases are now under the amps. To my surprise, everything has "relaxed" even more and the soundstage is spooky good. I can't say the soundstage expan... posted over 8 years ago | View comment | |
MY Place sbayneI'm waiting for stain to dry on some maple blocks for my amps. I'm also going to bigger Tranquility Bases for the amps. Previously, I had the Tranquility Bases on the floor. I'm thinking the maple ... posted over 8 years ago | View comment | |
MY Place sbayneThanks Bon. I think you'll like the Rythmik. Since the Impact Monitor is vented you will have to mess with the phase/delay to integrate it the best. I suppose placement in the room also makes a dif... posted over 8 years ago | View comment | |
MY Place sbayneI upgraded the power cords on the Rythmik subs and it made the soundstage even more realistic with very natural decays. It’s amazing what even “small”changes can make to the overall sound of your ... posted over 8 years ago | View comment | |
MY Place sbayne@grannyring - Thanks! It's worked out well. It seemed like a logical next step with these monitors. Now if I could just convince you to upgrade the monitor cross... posted over 8 years ago | View comment | |
MY Place sbayneI've now spent hours listening to the various settings for phase/delay. As Rythmik indicated, if being used with vented speakers the subs may need some significant phase/delay. I ended-up at about ... posted over 8 years ago | View comment | |
MY Place sbayneThanks mapman. Its still a work in process, but the Rythmik F8s cabinet size and design go well with the Impact Monitors so that is a good first step in getting them to integrate. posted over 8 years ago | View comment | |
MY Place sbaynebdp24 - I updated my system description. These are the Rythmik F8 subs. They integrated really well. I'm still messing with the phase/delay. Rythmik explains on their website that with a vented ... posted over 8 years ago | View comment | |
