Thanks! And thank you also for this thread: your impressions of these various subs are invaluable, please keep up the great work, and I look forward to your further comments.

Thanks for the thoughtful and insightful response.

How much of an effect do you think the v3601's high efficiency has to do with its performance? Can't seem to find anything but praise for its subwooferage.

All of us must die, it's simply a question of when. An important second question is being ready for what comes next. I know many are very uncertain about that, but there verifiable assurances about what comes next and how to prepare. Please PM if you're interested in hearing more.

Spent the last couple of hours dialing the Mariana Max in. Finally grew tired of wiring, plugging and test tones and ran a clip from "Interstellar." The room vibrated, my chair vibrated, but I wanted more, so I brought the volume up to the 2 o'clock position and there it was: cavernous...

Finally got the Monster moved into the theater room, placed it in the Lt front corner, fired it up and watch my screen shake! I'm going to need to try mid wall and see if that works better.

Just took delivery of this Beast: all 340 lbs of it! Anyone want to volunteer to help me move it downstairs?

Been following those who bought into the new Samsung UHD blu Ray player and it's not pretty. Samsung shouldn't have released it until they got the bugs worked out. It doesn't even work correctly with Samsung displays, while most of the OLED customers seem to be generally satisfied, although...

My new Mariana 24" should be arriving this week. It will have the upgraded driver, and I'm fortunate to be the first to have it. I will post impressions as soon as possible.

When I learned most movies are only 2k and have to be upscaled to 4K, it killed the upgrade bug for me. If my TV were to fail, that would be a different situation, but for now, 1080p is sufficient.

Not only that, 8k will most likely quickly follow.

You make some good points here. If users have a system they're happy with, they should stick with it until the initial issues are resolved (and there are issues, even with the new DTS format), prices come down, and more software is available. For those who have the desire and the means, the main...

I also have low ceilings and have investigated this issue. It can be made to work with low ceilings PROVIDED a ceiling speaker with as broad dispersions characteristics as possible is chosen and attention is paid to setting them up at a 45 degree angle from the listening position (measure the...

I'd also recommend adding at least on subwoofer. Dayton audio is about the least expensive sub you can get that will give you decent performance. Rythmik, SVS and Hsu all make great subs as well, but are much pricier. Best of luck!

I would consider a servo sub, as well as sealed, if music is the priority. Rythmik makes sealed servo subs which are very highly regarded.
