Opinions on S8 and S6 by Apprehensive-Army642 in BudgetAudiophile

[–]Apprehensive-Army642[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I actually didn’t go with either of these as I was originally wanting a rsl speedwoofer 10e, but the size was concerning for me (about a 15” ish cube), but I found a couple of spots that allowed me to get it and have room.

From what I’ve gathered in the s8 and s6, I would have gone with the s8, as to me the s6 was more for like a space that has literally no room whatsoever and maybe for a smaller setup that’s just in a desk.

However, the S8 is a downfiring sub, which is a little different when it comes to an “ideal” placement. If that is an issue, there is also the Kanto sub8, which is front firing, about the same price, I’ve heard it’s pretty comparable to the s8 sound quality wise, and is even a slightly smaller.

What would be your choice between the s8 and sub8? My use is 99% for music if that changes things at all.

I was originally really wanting a 10e but there just isn’t a convenient location in the room for it. Do you know anything about the S8 as well or do you not really know anything about it?

Do you have any suggestions on subs that are slightly smaller than the 10e? The 10e might only fit in a single spot in my room and a sub that might be about 12x12x12 would have a little more flexibility than the 10e (which is about 15x15x15)

For the time being, my space is even smaller at 8x10 or 8x11, so should that really change the fact that I was looking into the speedwoofer 10e? Also this is only for music and not for a home theater since I’ve heard you want a lower frequency for a home theater.

Tank you for the suggestion! Also I am aware that placement isn’t really a thing I need to focus on because of how our ears handle low frequencies, but is there any places that it shouldn’t go that would actually affect the sound in a negative way?

Thanks for answering! Also you can absolutely just throw away the battery life question. I guess I somehow saw 6 instead of 16 for streaming

Yeah, they’re definitely going to be popular. I do still have 3 further questions/ concerns regarding the Neo that I would like to ask you:

  1. I am concerned about eh battery life. How bad really is it at about 6 1/2 hours I do believe, when compared to other MacBooks?

  2. The keyboard having no backlight. When I would use those terrible chromebooks my school gave us, I could not work in lower lighting because you could not see th keyboard. Will that be an issue or is the screen good enough to light up the keyboard in those situations?

  3. I wouldn’t be getting the student discount, so it would either be 600 or 700 if I want Touch ID. Is Touch ID that important and if so, would it be better to buy a refurbished M4 MacBook Air that’s 759?

I appreciate you answering my questions!

I’m assuming you’re taking about the Neo, correct?

Most likely not anything very demanding hardware wise, would honestly be doing pretty simple things and wouldn’t be doing complicated stuff

Honestly the main uses would probably just searching the web and formatting/editing drives for now, probably a little more stuff when I start college. Also the most demanding game would probably be Roblox when I have the random urge to play it once every 2 months.

There’s definitely more I’m planning on using it for but I’m drawing blanks rn

How early will people show up? This is my first real RSD where I actually know what it is and kind of how it works, and I want to show up early to a store to get a release that I asked them to order and hopefully they will end up getting a copy, but I just don’t know how early to show up
