  1. SS3 sub out is full spectrum. So you will want a cross over. But more important is to limit the signal to the SS3 if you want to use the absolute highest volume. So the signal chain going through the sub first to use the 100 htz cut (rumble filter) then the SS3 is best.
  2. Exactly why I liked the roll off on the "outputs" of that Behringer Sub for $300, I am definately gonna get one to try. And BTW, a mixer may also offer a rumble filter that basically cuts LF below 100 Hz. However at 94dB I do not think this is a big issue...but whenany amp hits it's ceiling of coarse you are gonna hear it in the LF first! HMMM.... I'm interested to set what you find with the Beringer Sub. Will the roll-off really be a huge difference?
  3. Probably an internal setting on the SK2. Did you try it on the XK3? I use an SK2 and swear the SSV3 was made for it!
  4. My recollection is that the language you corrected was actually written by Aspen. But my hunch is that he used the term "balance" more as a short-hand term to discuss the relationship with the front speakers, as you basically suggest. To be clear, my summaries above represent no independent analysis, but just an attempt to organize what others wrote (with very slight editing) so that the info is in one place, more or less. Agreed. Width is used to balance the effect but is not a balance like a pan would be. And I agree with Ham&Eggs too. The SSV3 is very simple. I can't wait to hear what the 87 of you who have waited so long will say in the next few days! I live in Wilmington, NC and if anyone near by wants to hear it just pm me.
  5. Thanks cedar for the organization! Maybe mods can sticky those posts.
  6. The width is not the balance but the actual volume level of the side speaker which of course alters the balance between the front speaker and side speaker. This adds more of the 'effect.' Ultimately this amp is not hard to use but just so different that it is difficult to understand without one in your possession. Once you hook it up, play some tunes, turn some knobs--you WILL understand it. This is one reason Aspen left off a mixer and other items and the controls are as easy as the 'effect' will allow.
  7. You'll need to tweak it to the new room but it is easy. Take it to the gig in the packaging and you'll be fine.
  8. On Aspen's site the $599 was listed as early adopter but so is the $749. It's worth it.
  9. Have fun and let us know the results of the SS. If you can try the SS by itself before the show and see how far she carries.
  10. I think you'll love it! This thing was made for the SK. You may want some help on the bass lines but worth taking both amps for the awesome Leslie/CV you get. I use a new Fender Rumble 200 bass combo with a Rolls single channel crossover (Tiny Crossover). The new Rumbles are light, 15in combo is 34 pounds. Some people are using small subwoofers but most of them are near field subs and I wanted something more versatile. Also the Rumble has an aux input that is stereo 1/8in. That signal does not do through the crossover and sounds good when the tweeter is switched on. The SS is louder than you would think and it is clear (yes bass could muddy it) and it cuts through the mix. If you use a setup like mine you have 4 separate amplified speakers--forget biamped! Also Aspen stands behind his products. I plan to buy a studio only one after the shipping gets caught up.
  11. I have it on its side on top of a KT-80 with some of the porting open. Sounds the same.
  12. Okay. I have a 7 by 14 room that I teach in with an upright piano and my SK setup. The SS is way loud in there and just tried lying the SS on its side on top of my Motion Sound Kt-80 (used as a sub with a crossover). Much better sound and I do not blow myself away with the side speaker which was pointed at me when standing up the SS. Good trick when in a very small space.
  13. I find that placement is not that crucial for the stereo effect and again you have the 'width' control. EQ may be the trick for AP and just having a sound that 'agrees' with the SS. And its not about spending more money on the AP sound.
