RocketFishPI Posted April 5, 2021 Share Posted April 5, 2021 Hey all, I have a Hegel H190 which comes with a very high damping factor, and I’m told helps it reign in bass woof and provide a little extra low end control. Assuming that’s right, my question is, does this mean it’s going to be better paired with speakers with bigger, bolder bass? Or will it also play with ones that have a tighter low-end response? I guess I’m just a little confused about damping factor, it’s always advertised as a positive, but everything comes at a cost Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mauro Posted April 5, 2021 Share Posted April 5, 2021 Good question. Having a high damping factor is far more advantageous than having a low figure..... generally. It will better control your woofers as you have stated and get the max bass out of your speakers. Speakers that make better use of this higher damping factor are speakers that are inefficient. So, say you have one with 85db and another say 94db, the former will be better suited to your amp and impress you more with it's bass quality and quantity. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
