Speaker Asylum General speaker questions for audio and home theater. |
|
I own a pair of PSB Image t45 tower speakers powerered by an NAD c352 int amp (80w/ch). Although I love the imaging capabilities of my t45's I feel like they lack a little bit in bass. My amp has an output for a subwoofer but I am not interested in going that route for now. Instead I am considering going up the PSB line to the t55 or possibly the t65 for the added bass. Somebody at the audio shop told me that typically speakers that offer greater bass performance often lack imaging capabilities. Is this true or is it possible to have the best of both worlds in a single pair of speakers? Does anybody happen to know if the t55's or t65's image as good as the t45's? I would appreciate any input on this. Thanks, Andy

- No point. Bass is not precise in small rooms. Standing waves are in same position regardless of speaker position - Richard BassNut Greene 08:57:29 12/15/06 (1)

- Phase shifts caused by room reflection can be eliminated with mirror-image phase shifts from a parametric EQ - Richard BassNut Greene 08:24:31 12/12/06 (3)

- If the EQ is a mirror-image of the frequency response problem caused by a room reflection, it corrects phase problem - Richard BassNut Greene 15:17:54 12/15/06 (0)
