I am using a single VTF-3 MK4. Cheap low distortion and does 16hz very well. There is standing waves with just one sub, and nulls and bumps when I walk around the room. 2 would be beatter, room treatment would be better, and Tube Traps in the corners would be better too. More than enough to...

I wonder if it is the absorbtion points? Some highs always get absorbed more than lows. Rarefraction gets rid of the reflection but keeps the energy equal. Doesn't "equalize" out the highs but disperses the reflection throughout the room.

Alright I got an email and why not share. 10 years ago I got my first 1080p monitor and it was 3D. That was the craze back then. I had mixed speakers front and back as well as center channel. ADS L1230s fronts, Boston Acoustics A400s for the rears and a Cambridge Soundworks center channel...

Please Todd put this beast through it's paces. They better give you a unit to check out. Use some low impedance speakers and some super heavy bass signals that drain current to see how it holds up. Luxman has been one of the best for decades.

Absolutely fantastic read Todd. I did see on top of the first picture of Wilfried at the console that he was the inventor of immersive sound, that is not true. In an interview I heard him give credit to Ambisonics. Way way back this was tried and fried like many formats. But he did mention...

Thank you Todd for the warm welcome. Did you read the interview in Widescreen Review with Gary Reber and Wilfried Van Baelen? Wilfried is what I would call a rare bird for real. His science behind his methods is solid and his extensive research proves in ceiling height speakers are too high up...

The shape of the tweeter being a dome helps to disperse off axis sound. SVS makes excellent products.

It's a long story LOL. ADS like many older speaker companies sold out and closed the factory. Being from New England, Boston area, and tight on budget, I started out with Advents. Then went for Boston Acoustics because I couldn't afford ADS. Years after inheriting a pair of L1230s, I got into...

Best if like the article from Todd, all the same and same height and depth as mains And surrounds too! So if possible, match the center with the other 4 speakers at the seating level, and the image, and illusion is timbre matched so seamless. Mixed speakers can be used but it is very hard to...
