Strong wireless connectivity means you can connect and control the SONOS Sub from anywhere in the room. I'm considering changing the AVR next to something with a better DSP that can output at 4k with HDR. Does anyone know if this will make much difference to the sound performance of my 5.1 system at all? It may be the smallest in the family of Minx subs but don't underestimate the power of the X201! Like the other Minx subs, the X201 uses unique Cambridge technology to produce a bass response that is both powerful and tuneful. At the heart of the X201 beats Cambridge Audio's sophisticated DSP (Digital Signal Processor). When combined with the digital amplifier, this provides exceptional bass from what is one of the world's smallest subwoofers. To maximise this advantage the bass cones are constructed of one-piece, aerospace grade aluminium. I searched high & low & there are not that many brands out there which offer subs that go 150hz or higher. Obviously the CA ones do as do SVS, XTZ & some others but then cost comes into play. Remember that most Dali speakers shouldn`t be toed in as in angled toward listener! Spread them apart (equilateral triangle if possible) and put them shooting straight not towards you!

It will pay dividends to really experiment with the crossover settings to get the best blend so to speak but I found that in most cases 150hz usually provides the best results - 140Hz at the very lowest - any lower & the sub can be localised. Play around with the crossover till you get the best sound. Prices valid in stores (all including VAT) until close of business on 28th November 2023. (Some of these web prices are cheaper than in-store, so please mention that you've seen these offers online.) Many subwoofers require you to change settings from behind the device. This is not only inconvenient but can also mean you have to continually adjust the sound throughout a dynamic movie to produce the best tones. When you control your subwoofer from your smartphone, however, changing these settings is much easier. In fact, you can control all of the ELAC Debut 2.0 SUB3010’s functions through your phone, including output levels and equalization. Details:Using a single, BMR drive unit, the MIN 12 satellite speakers give pinpoint accuracy and are bursting with detail right up to high volume levels. BMR technology combines the advantages of both flat panel and conventional speakers, so that the MIN12 satellites won't turn harsh or brittle when the music or film action gets intense. Right now, I have a 10" Cambridge Audio Aero 9 (used to also have the 10" X500), a 10" XTZ 99W10.16 & a Velodyne SPL-800 Ultra - this one only goes up to 135Hz but works in my situation due to it being a small room & the sub is placed right next to the speakers. This should give you an idea of the types of subs to use/get. I do not use all three - it was just part of my quest to find the best suited subwoofer for the Minx Speakers!! What is the FR of your Dali Sub? You need to ensure it can really have the crossover point needed for the Mins. Also, placing the sub as close to the speakers will help greatly in blending with the sub for a seamless sound. One of my Subs, a Velodyne only has a upper FR of 135Hz but as it is next to the speaker, it blends great. The smartphone or tablet controls mean you can adjust the ELAC Debut 2.0 whenever you want from wherever you want.

The Cambridge Audio Minx X301 is in the middle of the X-range and strikes an ideal balance. At just 28cm square, it's smaller than most of its rivals, yet thanks to larger bass drivers, the sound's anything but. Like the other Minx subs, the X301 uses unique Cambridge technology to produce a bass response that is both powerful and tuneful. am just looking to add enough bass in the sub setting for my room were i can make this flat denon into helping feeling the music more adding some punch It may be the smallest in the family of Minx subs but don't underestimate the power of the X200!

Will try more movies out when I can. One thing I had to do is to increase the volume of the centre speaker as I was struggling to hear the dialogue. Enjoy genuine hi-fi sound quality but demand discreet style? Then take a look at the ground-breaking Cambridge Audio Minx system!i was happy with my spektor 2 with a marantz amp i had but i exchanged the marantz after few months for this denon because the software kept messing up for radio Shakes the walls even more than the 200 If your system doesn't have a sub-woofer you are missing out on an entire layer of sound from any audio you are listening to; be that music or movies. It is the number one first choice to improve your system if you want to upgrade what you already have. I've had the Minx 200 (now 201) for over a decade and it's awesome. It died and needed a cheap repair (power issue) so I decided to relegate that to a different sound system and bought the Minx 301 to replace it on my surround sound. The 200 has one powered and two passive speakers drawing 200w. The 301 has two powered speakers drawing 300w.

I tried with quite a few subs like my REL's, BK Electric & a couple of others at the time but there was too much of a separation - it was quite evident. You really need to get a subwoofer which has a Frequency Response figure of +/- 3Db that goes up to at least 150Hz. Congrats on the Min's - they really are great for their size & a lifestyle speaker - the BMR drivers offer a wide dispersion unlike nearly all other drivers. my room is tiny, depth of my room is around 6ft, and around 9ft wide with a stupid annoying airing cupboard bolier in my room in the corner which make room smaller No don`t redo test or touch knobs, the SW level -6,5db is fine! You can tweak that figure on the receiver menu (speaker levels, subwoofer level) to lower figure example -6,5db -> -3,5db if you want some extra slam. No need to touch the knobs of subwoofer anymore! Basically if you stay on the minus side you don´t need to worry much. It`s personal preference how much rumble you want there so try it out.

If you're in any doubt about the quality of this system then take a look at what the reviewers have been saying. "Well, Bose is about to get a sound thrashing from the British boys at Cambridge Audio, whose brand-new Minx is even smaller than Acoustimass - especially the subwoofer - and simply better. Much, much better." Jonathan Margolis, Financial Times. And, "To say we were impressed is a gross understatement." T3 This audio device was created by Cambridge Audio, a British audio manufacturer. Buy upmarket, top quality sound. For five decades they has been consistently inspiring audio connoisseurs with world class audio. Minx X201 is an active configuration. Therefore the amp is built in. Active amps connect to devices such as radios, record players and computers directly. Great for your HiFi System The Sony manual says to crank up the crossover to it's highest setting on the subwoofer and set the volume to half way then do a calibration to allow the AVR to set the correct crossover frequency for it. The AVR set the speakers crossover to 140hz.

With an AVR the Min 12/22 speakers should be set to ‘small’ with a crossover frequency of 140Hz. In this configuration, power handling is considerably increased.am i able to add bit of bass or is sub going to be banging my floor and walls even on a low setting?
