Anything specific?

Happy to help if you can elaborate.

Checking back in to say the change from 110HT to 210RM for center duty was a much better upgrade than I anticipated. I was really happy using the 110HT in my small 11’x12.5’ room. In fact, the 210RM was ordered because of a planned move which would have had a much larger room, but (thankfully) fell through and also to get ahead of some price increases.
But, as I sit here today, listening to some Auro 3D upmixed music with this thing, I can’t help but think it’s one of the more impactful upgrades I’ve had. Whether it’s caused by the lower extension, now having matching drivers to the mains, both or other, I can’t say for sure, but there’s no doubt the front stage sounds more cohesive or “filled in”. Now I just need to wait for some time to get the 110HT-SLs out of the garage and onto the ceiling.

what’s the depth on those speakers?

 

[Sonnie Parker]

That has to be a nice center... wish I had room for something that large. Glad it is working out for you.

My cabinet is ready... and I should have my custom-built center from JTR pretty soon. It will replace my MartinLogan, and I'll be fully JTR/RTJ.

Are you asking about the 210RM? It’s 14” deep.

Ill be curious on what you think going from an electro static to a coaxial horn.

That’s looking really good!
Any specs like driver sizes and how it will be configured that you can share at this point?

I really think this design (low profile with horn to match the other speakers in the home theater line) could find a permanent home in Jeff’s line up.

Me too!

I've been extremely happy with the horns elsewhere, but the ML has been the best center for vocals thus far. However, I've never tried a horn.

Dims 44.75 x 9.5 x 11" deep to fit in my current coveyhole. Horn in the middle and 8" drivers to each side with 8" passive radiators on the ends.

That's all I have at this time.

Packing today... shipping tomorrow... woohoo!

 

[Sonnie Parker]

Finally got time to install it. Funny incident. I sat down to start listening, and my heart sank, as the sound was muffled and I couldn't understand a word that was being uttered on anything I viewed. Of course, I have not reset Dirac, but surely it's not going to be that bad off. I was scratching my head. I walked up to the speaker while listening just to make sure the tweeter was playing... and what did I see that was causing the problem?

Fit perfectly and sounds great, even without tuning Dirac yet.

Awesome, Sonnie!!

I’ll guess the shipping protector Jeff puts on his coax horns wasn’t removed.

 

[Jack1949]

Yep, that's an easy thing to miss and would definitely cause a muffled sound.

I wonder how many defective speaker calls Jeff has had because of this?

 

[Jack1949]

Before I first purchased JTR, I saw others mention this over-site on the forums, and I made a mental note of it so that I wouldn't do the same. Of course, I've made many other mistakes to make up for avoiding that one.

 

[Sonnie Parker]

You would think I'd remember considering I have a dozen or so stashed away.
It just didn't hit me until I saw it and then did the duh thing.

It's easy to get the mental notes flushed out when there is no more room left for absorption.

 

[Jack1949]

I'm 76. Trust me, I understand. Now, what were we talking about?

 

[Sonnie Parker]

If you can't remember, we are in trouble. I'm sure the 23 speakers and 40,000+ watts of power in my room having nothing to do with my memory. I was told that the new hearing aids I just got would help prevent Alzheimers. But it doesn't seem to be helping with my sometimers.
