You could attempt to compensate this by tone controls or an equaliser, but you are not likely to readily get the correct compensation without measurement tools.ĭocumentation on all the different KUBEs is sparse. This was done so as to maximise the available midrange efficiency of the system that normally gets "thrown away" in the xover.Īs Dave says, without the KUBE, not only will the bass response be mis-aligned, but the midrange will sound "forward", being too strong by typically at least 6dB.

I designed most of the KUBE EQ's, and other than the KUBE for the 104.2, most of them applied midrange EQ in addition to bass extension. The benefit of the Kube is that the system efficiency could be maximized rather than thrown away to extend the bass. It really depends on how loud you like to listen, how far from the speakers you are, how dead your room is, etc. 5 or 10 watts is usually way more than you need, but some times 300 watts isn't nearly enough. Regarding power, give your NAD a try before you discard it. I think speakerguru has even been able to link some people up with missing Kubes, so it doesn't hurt to ask. If you can find a graph of the Kube curve you will be that far ahead in creating the right curve, even with a graphic EQ just trying to approximate it. I would still urge you to visit the KEF site. You can have the extended bass as well, with some modest EQ at a frequency just below the natural rolloff. If you set up and equalizer with the opposite of that curve, that is a good start. So the 102 will rise considerably in the mids (say around 2k) and will be soft in the bass. By the way, this is not much different than the original Bose 901 and its EQ. The addition of the Kube then flattened the response.

Wenceslaus Cemetery immediately following the visitation.The systems that used the Kube were generally designed for maximum efficiency rather than flat response. Visitation will be held Saturday July 11, 2015, at Bruzek Funeral Home from noon to 2:00 PM. She was preceded in death by her husband, George Kohout, Sr. of Oceanside, CA, Harold (& Carmen) Kohout of Reno, NV daughter, Ann Marie Ball of Buffalo, NY grandchildren, Sheila Musiak of Buffalo, NY, Jonathan & Marivic, Edgar & Maggie, Ernesto & Joralyn, Michael & Elaine 15 great-grandchildren, including, Ashley & Justin Hoffman of Buffalo, NY 3 great-great-grandchildren from California and the Philippines 2 brothers, Ronald (& Kay) Kubes, Richard (& Sophia) Kubes and sister, Mary Jane Karrow all of Minnesota. Rose Mary is survived by sons, George Kohout, Jr. She was a homemaker all her life and was very heart-warming and friendly to all friends and family. and the couple raised their 3 children in the early years in New Prague before moving to Buffalo, NY in 1962. Rose Mary was born on September 29, 1924, in Northfield, MN to Charles and Rose Mary (Flicek) Kubes. Rose Mary Kohout, age 90, of Salamanca, NY, died Sunday Jafter a long illness.
