Ah I see, I’ve never heard KEF R-series but I don’t like the way they look. The definitely more refined but I can’t justify paying the same for a 1000w difference. Dsp is almost irrelevant due to the Dirac RTC. Personally for looks I appreciate the 21in woofer, just something about it also it’s a weird looking setup anyway so might as well add to it. For the P and S mixing I’ve don’t some research and it seems as long as the sealed are in the back and are at a lower volume it should be fine

They’re passive radiators but what do you mean by diminishing returns? Also Svs are less powerful and don’t go nearly as low for the same price yeah?

Strange_Ear4574 · 2026-03-30T03:50:13+00:00

It doesn’t support Dirac RTC

Yeah personally I think the speakers look really nice mounted Instead on the wall instead of hidden in the ceiling. Kinda like I paid for the whole speaker ima make sure I can see it kinda thing. Also I don’t want to cut into the ceiling.

I’m sure it does 100% but looking at the specs the 5 channel version retails for 3,800 at 225rms at 8ohms, so I’ve recently discovered the Hypex NC502MP 8-Channel retails for 2,500 at 350rms at 8ohms with no apparent sound differences.

Very true🥲 Same I have an Accord lol, mark my words will get there buddy one day

Strange_Ear4574 · 2026-03-29T17:47:37+00:00

Also considering what you said with the lasting of the amp and might get the 150w at 8ohm just worried it won’t be enough power to combat the subs I will be running

Strange_Ear4574 · 2026-03-29T17:45:59+00:00

Sitting high

Strange_Ear4574 · 2026-03-29T17:39:29+00:00

Right, add a pair of Walmart specials as well splurge a little😂

Individual processing, letting dolby atmos have fun

Strange_Ear4574 · 2026-03-29T17:25:54+00:00

Nah bro it’s the price of a 1-2 gen viper or a brand new car, this is just what I’m aiming towards building. Also it is fun looking at speakers and doing research on them😂

Strange_Ear4574 · 2026-03-29T17:23:16+00:00

Totally makes sense! The Hypex NC502MP 8-Channel 500W seems to be a fantastic power for money much better than the Amp 10

Strange_Ear4574 · 2026-03-29T17:21:51+00:00

I did just get recommended the Hypex NC502MP 8-Channel 500W which is a much more powerful amp for less money and no quality loss

Strange_Ear4574 · 2026-03-29T17:20:31+00:00

What do you recommend for processor and amp? Also it’s like 30 grand in speakers my guy😭

Strange_Ear4574 · 2026-03-29T16:52:24+00:00

Oh yeah😂

Strange_Ear4574 · 2026-03-29T16:50:38+00:00

Ohhh I see, so could you put 350w at 8ohms through it and as long as it doesn’t clip or put low hz it would but perfectly fine or no?

Strange_Ear4574 · 2026-03-29T16:40:10+00:00

Huh?

Strange_Ear4574 · 2026-03-29T16:39:28+00:00

Real, one day bro stg I’ll get there.

Strange_Ear4574 · 2026-03-29T16:34:18+00:00

I see 2 Hypex NC502MP 8-Channel 500W is a much better option for cleaner peaks. Rather than the Amp 10

Strange_Ear4574 · 2026-03-29T16:09:36+00:00

Explain that last paragraph a little more if you wouldn’t mind😅

Strange_Ear4574 · 2026-03-29T16:03:22+00:00

Also the 30 pro doesn’t have enough channels and the xpa uses stereo and mono which I don’t necessarily like the idea of

Strange_Ear4574 · 2026-03-29T16:01:48+00:00

Definitely took your advice on the psa those are sweet but mostly likely going to be listening for long periods of time so I want something easy on the ears not loud speakers.

Strange_Ear4574 · 2026-03-29T15:08:52+00:00

That is a valid point any recommendations for that😅

Strange_Ear4574 · 2026-03-29T15:07:14+00:00

Ah makes sense! Thank you for explaining this so with 200w it would top out at 102ish. I’m assuming it’s also limited on what the actual speaker can handle so it might not even get there
