Re: Ali Bastanis OB testing & results

The Behringer is good for Bass I would not like to use it as a full range amplifier, however. EQ controls are simple and you can adjust whilst you listen to music.

Re: Ali Bastanis OB testing & results

Simon Vic uses the DEQX to control cut off to the Faital drivers. The bass drivers are being controlled by the Behringer and would be cut off in the upper bass. Cables are all the same length. I just use the Behringer to cut off the upper bass and power the Faitals from my Balanced Temple Monos with...

Re: Ali Bastanis OB testing & results

Yes, I am running with no crossover. However, they naturally cut off about 100. I do not feel I quite got the bass right yet. I have to wait till I get a spare USB cable to get into the Behringer settings. At the moment I am having to adjust volume settings on the Behringer depending on the recordin...

Re: Ali Bastanis OB testing & results

I just thought I do a bit of update as Ali might be interested. I have been chatting with Vic and he has changed the PRV drivers to the 4-inch Faital Pro drivers 4 per channel and 3-inch Faital Pro drivers 2 per channel and is loving them. Vic has lent me the 3-inch drivers to try out I am using 4 p...

Re: Ali Bastanis OB testing & results

On Vic system it works without any issues in sound levels during quiet or loud moments.
In my room I use no extra gain but have different bass drivers at a higher crossover 340 and completely flat throughout.

Re: Ali Bastanis OB testing & results

My own take on the PRV drivers is they excel in mid end punch. No treble nasties. Perhaps not the last word in treble detail but using multiple drivers helps with this

Re: Ali Bastanis OB testing & results

The UM18 is the best bass drivers I heard in Vic system without a shadow of a doubt. If you are a bass head they are certainly the way to go with this design. However other bass drivers will work in this configuration. I use the lesser Selenium Neos in an isobaric design and its perfect for my taste...

Re: Ali Bastanis OB testing & results

I am really interested to hear how you got on with your visit to Vic Ali. After hearing what Vic achieved I have gone down a similar route. However, with my bass drivers, they only go down to about 30hz. Vic can go subsonic and I wonder did he demonstrate that to you. Vic has done an awful lot of re...
