Got Macallans already, about 3/4th's already drank :-) Also have Highland Park at the moment, good stuff too. Highland Park is more peaty than Balvenie (which is only slightly peaty), and Macallans (which is not peaty at all). My favorite peaty scotch has got to be Lagavulin (very nice, but not...

Hehe. How's the house coming? We'll have to get together again, I got some nice scotch to share :-) (Balvenie Double Wood). The funny thing is I'm not using the stuffing for a subwoofer, but for a pair of headphones :-) They have good drivers but poor/flimsy ear cup construction (hollow w/no...

When you stuff a sealed box with wool or fiberglass, does it have any other effect besides fooling the driver in to "seeing" a bigger box? IE, is efficiency or any other parameter effected by stuffing the box?

SVS-Ron, I actually don't own a VMPS sub, I got a custom sub built for my by Kyle at Acoustic Visions, based around a BluePrint 1503 driver and dual 18 inch passive radiators. I wanted a single box sub that I'd never have to worry about bottoming out, even if I got a bigger HT space in the...

Easy, Odyssey Stratos.

I'm selling my marble 9.0's and 4.0'sfrom my HT for a good price - the marble looks better than the ceramic, and they are much better performers. Email me or pm me if you want pictures.

But is the upgrade for $900 finally going to get rid of the hiss? That is my main complaint against the Act 3 - the features are reasonable for what I'm using it for (only 5.1 HT, no music listening). I'm just tired of the hiss and noise, and figure this is my chance to get a quiet unit. Can...

My Act 3 has been a faithful companion for the past several years, but I'm looking to replace it. Requirements: 1. video switching - a couple of S-Video switches, component video not necessary (but might be nice). 2. Must be quiet. The only real drawback of my Act 3 is the hiss that it...

I would say that I have owned an SVS 16-46CS in the past and have compared it to a friends Original and a different friend's Larger VMPS subs, and prefered the VMPS subs, especially for music. I would say it, but I'm so certain that I'll get flamed and argued with (by people who have never heard...

I say get the adire rava and don't worry about upgrading for a while. . .

General rule is never by speakers that have a woofer smaller than 5.5 inches. Smaller than that and it's impossible to avoid gaps in frequency response when integrating to the sub.

5 nOrh 4.0's ($850 delivered) and an SVS 25-31 ($359) should give you some killer sound for your budget.

Also, saw that the Blueprint drivers are being liquidated - the 1203 is going for $159 and only requires a 44 liter box (very small - about 16 inches tall, and 12 inches deep and 12 inches wide). Check the link below: http://www.audioliquidators.com/sub.html

How about some Gallo Acoustic speakers - small and unboxy:

B&W got it right w/the HTM center speaker. Tweeter over midrange construction. I wish more companies would take that as an example and correct an easily fixable design flaw in center speakers.

Well, instead of a "coffee table" sub, why not an "end table" sub? Same concept, just use a single 12 inch Stryke woofer in a smaller box, and put it on the right side of the couch, between the couch and the wall, so you can run the wire under your baseboards, so that it's not visible. A single...

This one is easy. Ditch the current coffee table. Build a sub using a pair of Stryke audio new 12 inch woofers in to a coffee table type box. Run the wiring under the rug or under the floor to the coffee table sub. Feed it about 1000 watts. No more bass null problems. To try it out before...

At 30, I can hear to 18khz, and down to about 22hz (that's as low as I can actually distinguish tones, below that, it's just air pressure).

nOrh 4.0 ceramic package - $850 US delivered. http://www.norh.com - Way better than the low end paradigm and PSB stuff. Doesn't leave a lot of $$ for a good sub, but my advice would be to build a sub, cause it's cheap, not too difficult, and can be finished to look like an end table or some...

Toss in another vote for the RM-40's - I've got a pair and they are simply amazing - ultra transparent, very dynamic, and will play very loud w/out strain in most rooms. As close to a true "chameleon" speaker as I've ever heard - does as well w/my large collection of classical music as it...

Forget the stands, get some tower speakers. Looks nicer anyway. . .

Finally, something I can use to push my Blueprint 1503 sub a bit (1300 watts going to it, and dual high excurion 18 inch PR's). I'll have to rent this ASAP - thanks for the tip!!

I'm in Denver, and might be interested. Can I come by and check it out? Or do you have a pic you could email me?

Paradigm Atoms. Nice speaker for mids/highs.

did someone mention my name? Brad, if you're near denver, you're welcome to come by to check out the nOrh 4.0's. I've also got the marble 9.0's and the mini-9.0 in my HT.

Upgraded both systems recently, so now have: 2-Channel: VMPS RM-40's with Auricap upgrade, full "rotary cut birch wood" wrap. HT: nOrh marble 9.0's - front L/R nOrh mini-9.0 - Center nOrh marble 4.0's - rears Sub - Blueprint 1503 in an Acoustic Visions made box w/dual 18 inch PR's...

Since your mains do mid bass pretty well, I'd concentrate on a sub that has a lot of clean output down low. An SVS CS Ultra, a VMPS Larger sub, or a Stryke sub from Link Removed - I had a blueprint 1503 based sub built by them for me, and the performance down low is probably in the top .1% of...

On the 2 models of VMPS I've heard (a friend has the 626R's, and I have the RM40s), the horizontal dispersion is not bad at all, off axis they sound as good as most other speakers sound off axis. The place where dispersion is a "problem" is in the vertical plane, not the horizontal plane. Having...

The uncertainty would be shifted from doubts about the efficacy of the pre-crime experiment to doubts about ourselves. True, it would be a very different movie, but IMO, a better one.

Point Break was already re-made in to The Fast and the Furious. :-)
