![]() Even though I resisted trying it for about 5 years, with PL II Music, using 5.1, the increased spatiality with music gives straight two channel a run for its money. WITH SUB, mains set on SMALL, XO at either 80 or 40Hz, the bass goes much lower, but is not as clean or tight. That being said, the bass is smooth to only about 30/35 Hz (which is plenty for most music) and extends down to 24, but with much attenuation. NO SUB, with the mains set on LARGE is superior in clarity and clean, tight attack, and with most music is better. It's not quite the comparison you asked for, but with two channel, the sub/no sub comparison is interesting (at least to me). I use this single set up both for 2 channel and also 5.1 for movies, in the same room. I use an AV preamp/processor and three separate power amps (2 channels each). There is no right or wrong but, I'm interested on what you settled on and why.Īre your two systems in the same room, on an equivalent wall? I like both but differences do show up depending on the music and some music sounds better on one vs the other but, both are very satisfying. I will start, I use both an integrated but, limited amp, no subwoffer output or XO settings and also an avr/amp combo with 2 subs. There is no right or wrong but, I'm interested on what you settled on and why. In essence, what are the strengths and weaknesses of your system. It is fair to talk about integrated amps vs avr's vs the use on non use of a subwoffer. ![]() So, no need to talk about this speaker is so revealing or only these are the best sources. Amplification, sources,ect all are assumed to be equal and adequate. No theory or models so that the sound we hear is the most important factor in this discussion. Keep the discussion to only what you hear with two channel, your system on other Klipsch systems. These speakers all share enough common traits to be discussed and including other brands will take us off on to a tangent in to many directions. Most of this discussion should only pertain to our Klipsch speakers. There are limitation with both types of speaker and how much does size matter. Is a three way speaker better than a 2 way or is this a minor point. II will answer this question later pertaining to only my setup. Do you use any of these modes and is there a true difference in direct/ pure or stereo. Keep in mind that even the best mains are position limited due to optimal imaging and that the best place for bass may be some other part of the room. So, is the best two channel without a sub and large towers, or and avr with the lowest XO possible to keep the sound of the mains as the dominant sound or can it be achieved using a higher XO with a sub. This is a large gray area and not meant to be a point of discussion. At the same time, many integrated amp are of higher quality than the budget or mid level avr. Two observations, many integrated amps don't have sub connection or XO adjustment. Let's not get into is one better than the other because there are to many variables. This approach is different using some integrated amps vs an avr. ![]() Direct and pure will bypass some audio processing. The question is how many use Stereo, pure or direct when enjoying 2 channel.
