What a steal at this price !!!!

This is Mark's new amp for the international market, the lower power (compared to the previous 6kw master/slave model) means it doesn't need the ground pin which helps lower the lower the chance of ground loops/hum. I have 3 of these new amps and IMHO they are a big improvement on the older 1kw amps. They have low frequency adjust, auto on, delay, 12v trigger etc

They contain transformers, right?
I used to love signal transformers for audio back during my tube days (some 30+ years ago), but lost sight of them and grew to distrust them for whatever reasons. The recent addition of a TVC to my system rekindled my love for them. The TVC solves this very same problem (balanced/single-ended conversion) for me as a side effect.
I can only encourage people to give this Jensen device a shot. In terms of elegant simplicity and sheer transparency those transformers set the benchmark for balanced/single-ended conversion, IMO. Isolation is the cherry on the cake.
Yes transformers inside, flat response down to 3Hz too!

These products (Jensen) are awesome! I had some sub hum in my previous config and the Sub-2RR helped eliminate it

Yeah I'd rather have 2xSB-1000's than 1x SB-2000
There was one on Gumtree Brisbane for sale yesterday too!

that does come with xt32 which is good.... but again... Id if possible go the older 3 series ... 3400h
get a good step all around to a $2k AVR and will pay not much more on run out or 2nd hand vs the 2500h
dont have to go for latest and greatest.
the yams have their fans, but just be aware their EQ and setup system for bass is not that flash !
I think the 2*** series Denon's only have Audyssey XT - not XT32 (which I agree IS a necessity if looking at Denon/Marantz)

Audyssey aims for a FLAT frequency response - to most people, not listening at THX Reference Level - a flat FR in the bass region will sound anemic.
I would turn the subs up 3-6dB (or more) in the Channel Level section of the AVR.
Are you using Dynamic EQ ? - it may also help
Make sure Dynamic Volume and Audyssey LFC are both OFF

Agreed with others, needing to add +16dB means something is likely up (IMHO anyway)
Most auto room correction systems aim to set the subs and speakers to 75dB (ie. flat ) - unfortunately most of us listen well below THX reference level, at lower volumes our ears are much less sensitive to bass frequencies, so "flat" can sound a bit anaemic. Audyssey has "Dynamic EQ " to help solve this. If you don't have something like that, most people seem to prefer adding around 3-6dB to their subs. Adding 15dB+ is not unheard of, but it's at the extreme end - even for bassheads
-
Wow!!!!! This would be a killer LCR setup for most people, clean and tidy - with huge output potential
Agree 100% on James Loudspeakers too, I had some of their 6" bookshelf speakers and both the sound and build quality was off the charts.
-
Wow what a steal!
GLWTS!

Ridiculously good price. I paid not far off that for just one of the newer models of those LCRs recently by the time US shipping was included.
This is serious home cinema if you're in the planning stage for a dedicated build
Agreed...bargain pricing.
And I'd add that this would make for a serious small commercial cinema build 😂 lol

Item Condition: Excellent/Near newShipping Options: Pickup available but audition is not available.Suburb or Town: Brisbane 4502State: QueenslandPayment Method: Preferably pick up + cashReason for selling: Not used
Further information:
Literally hardly used, plugged in once and had a play with the settings, but just don't have the time anymore to tinker with my set up. Comes with the optional remote, would just need to buy the $10 plugin from miniDSP.com
MiniDSP didn't send me an AU power adapter, so I bought a suitable aftermarket one over here

Cheers...and so am I!!
Without a word of exaggeration, the remote was probably used 5-10 times max. Was put back in its box,....got it back out last year when I updated my AVR for her to have another go at it...and it sat in its charging cradle and was never touched...so back in the box it went. The only cosmetic blemish I can see on it is the gloss black on the charging cradle has some swirl marks from cleaning the dust off it

Price drop for quick sale

Audyssey's "after" graphs are only a "predicted response" so you have to take them with a huge grain of salt, also the resolution of the graphs is horrible.
Of the graphs shown I think you have a smoother response with 1 x sub, but gain a bit more low-end output and extension with 2 x subs (probably why it sounds better)
IMHO, perhaps even more important than a subs only response is a graph showing the phase response of your subs and speakers in the crossover region, something Audyssey (and most other room correction software ) often messes up - because it never measures the subs and speakers together, which is fine for the LFE channel - but not so much for bass managed speakers.
Depending where you crossover is to your LCR speakers, that large sharp dip at ~60Hz in the "2 x sub graph" may be filled in by your speakers
I would buy or borrow a Umik-1 and measure your actual after Audyssey response

No necessarily an issue.... it just means he hasn't calibrated his mic to an absolute SPL level.
Agreed, was just pointing out that the dB levels were off
-
Properly integrated, the doubling of identical powered subwoofers will add 6dB overall. So going from 1 sub to 2 adds 6dB, going from 2 to 4 subs adds another 6dB (.....and so on)
This is actually a pretty dramatic difference in the bass region, and will allow you to play louder, with much less distortion...and with a little work - obtain a smoother bass response,with better seat-to-seat consistency
I'll go against the grain and say look out for another Pb13 or PC13 Ultra or grab a PB-4000 (very close to the PB13U) . Get a Umik-1, miniDSP 2x4HD and download REW and get to work

Thanks heaps I will have a read.
Was struggling calibration of the mic.
Couldn't find much info on setting up a non usb mic.
All good mate, that guide has helped thousands of people setup REW

Have a good read of this guide
For full range speaker sweeps I would limit the horizontal axis to 20Hz to 20kHz and (IMHO) use 1/6 Oct smoothing and the vertical axis from 50dB to 110dB which should give 5dB increments. For sub sweeps I would use something like 10Hz to 200Hz on the Horizontal axis and no smoothing. Sometimes you have to play with the resolution setting when saving the screenshots to maintain 5dB increments
Evidently something is up with your dB levels (soundcard/ mic calibration?) , because measuring at 20-30dB would be well under the room's noise floor (unless you live in an anechoic chamber? lol)
Here's an example of how to show your graphs, this is just how I do it, but will give you some ideas
Fullrange measurement (dual subs + Center speaker crossed at 80Hz with 1/6 Oct smoothing
Dual Subwoofer measurements, no smoothing

I've had these Custom order 825sq for a few months now.. Completely unfatiging at High Volume.. Absolutely no " Ice Pick in the ear" so Polar opposite to Focal, Monitor Audio, B&W, Horns Klipsch etc.. These are ideal as High Volume if that's what you are looking for. These saw a $8500 pair of Martin Logan Electrostatics 'The Door' because while the Martin Logans were incredibly revealing,they were too demanding to listen too for long periods. These Ascensions are not far behind in detail retrieval and do i suppose lack the ultimate speed on transients (Being a box speaker) but i still ultimately prefer them.. Better more tuneful Bass, sweet detailed mid, Wider sweet spot, no fatigue with that tweeter.. I auditioned speakers up to $4000 and none were as good probably because at $4000 you couldn't expect SB acoustics NRX drivers which these have.. Also Edward is a " Master of the Transmission Line" which few manufacturers attempt because of the complexity of the design, opting for the lazy designers way and use the simple (and highly profitable) bass reflex design . Calling Edward "An Average speaker designer" is like calling Michelangelo "An Average Painter"
Damn! They look lovely!!!! Congrats!
