    Looking for a quality bookshelf speaker ...

    Looking for a quality bookshelf that will give me a similar (of better) sound than the Vandersteen 2ce Signatures (mids & highs). I'm in Trinidad, so my choices are limited and if I import I'm faced with almost 40% duty on the cost of the item plus shipping ... That said I have available to...

    Any Rocket owners here to compare with Vandersteen 2ce signatures? (speaker advice)

    I currently have Klipsch Reference series 3 speakers and matching components. Receiver is a Rotel RSX-965 (75 watts RMS per channel, dual SVS 16-46 CS+ subs with ART EQ) I had Ascends and was happier with the sound quality but not the quantity (spl capabilities) the Klipsch were chosen...

    WHOA! Just watched Ring of Fire (DTS) on my dual SVS 16-46+ setup!

    Everytime the dragon flapped his wings I felt it in my chest!!! Unreal! The fly-bys with the dragon were similarly insane!! Add this DVD to your demo collection it's fantastic! ... The movie itself wasn't half bad either .. I'm not sure what its critics were expecting, but it's a fun...

    Klipsch RC-3 vs RC-3 II

    I need to get a center to match my RF-3 II mains. I can get the older model RC-3 for more than 100US less ... Any tonal differences between the two models? Or should I just go for the new one? Thanks in advance ...

    Just cracked the woofer on my CBM-170 *sigh*

    As some of you may know I had ordered a pair of Ascend Acoustics CBM-170's that although really nice, have been an adventure in obtaining. One of my speakers mistakenly went to Germany, then when I finally got it, it fell from a stand that collapsed and died. My review of these fine speakers...

    Car audio - I need suggestions for a high efficiency driver ...

    So I don't need a massive amp to generate the big SPLs I'm looking for. For my use, sound quality > total SPL level, but Impact is very important ... How about: HSU ASW1202 or even the 1202M?? Thanks in advance for any advice ... Marcus

    Any Ascend Acoustics CBM-170 owners here?

    How are they compared to the Axiom M22's or Divas? As a point of reference, I'm very familiar with the Vandersteen 2ce signature speakers ... are the mids and highs of any of the above speakers close to those babys??

    I have a receiver with a fixed 100 hx crossover and I want an adjustable one instead.

    How can I best achieve this? My Rotel RSX-965 manual suggests : An alternative configuration for setting up front SMALL speakers with a subwoofer would be to follow the speaker manufacturer’s instructions, wiring the SMALL speakers to the subwoofer’s crossover and then connecting the...

    I want to run my mains as large ...

    I have a Rotel RSX-965 which according to tech support has a 100hz crossover. However, at that level I notice voices sometimes trying to be reproduced through the sub ... Very annoying. I noticed when I set my mains (crappy bookshelves) as large, the crossover drops (not sure to what level)...

    SVS 16-46CS+ combo review

I just got my 2nd 16-46CS+ today and I've been working the behind off my system since I got home and set it up. I have a Rotel RSX-965 receiver (75w RMS...

    Hey Phil, (or any other JBL fans) I've decided to go with either the S38 or S38 II ..

    At all 4 corners along with the Scenter ... These will be matched with my dual 16-46CS+ and S1000 as well as my Rotel RSX-965. My question is, what stands do I use with these puppies? I take it the S38's are larger than they look? I'd like something with as small a footprint as possible...

    Hey Phil how come you went with the S26 vs the S38? or even S36?

    Do you consider one superior to another? Asthetic reasons? I'm still on the fence with the Klipsch vs JBL's ... almost ... JBL ...

    Attn Phil, JBL vs Klipsch

    I can't seem to decide between a Klipsch RF-3 II package or Axiom M60 package

    My Receiver is a Rotel RSX-965 (150w per channel) and I like it LOUD... Ideally to two mains should provide accurate and LOUD sound for 2ch music listening without need for a sub, although I'll be using a dual 16-46 CS+ setup for movies :D Any and all opinions are welcome ...

    Is the axiom M60 > Klipsch RF3 II?

    The towers will be driven by a Rotel RSX-965 with 75 RMS per channel (150 w) Thanks in advance for those who have heard both speakers ... All opinions welcome.

    Is the axiom M3Ti > NHT super one?

    I ask because I'm nearing completion of my HT ... I just ordered my 2nd 16-46cs + which will join my existing cs46+, Samson S1000, Rotel RSX-965 (quite nice, 75w RMS per channel), Toshiba DVD (cheap - to be changed), Xbox (awesome) and my lame Sharp 27" (HDTV next year) but connected via...

    What sounds more like the vandersteen 2ce? The Axiom M80 or Diva 6.1?

    I just heard the Vandersteen's and WOW!!! :eek: It was running through a Rotel CD player an amp and preamp setup ... Don't have the brands available at the moment. The highs and mids !! And just the right amount of bass ... I need a 5 speaker setup for my HT where the mains will give the...

    I have a 16-46+ should I hear 20 hz sound and below?

    I was running my Avia disk yesterday that I just got and when the test tone went down to 25hz or so I could hardly hear anything. At 22hz or so ... nothing ... Is this normal? Unfortunately an SPL meter is 70US here (Trinidad) does anyone know where I can order one online? Thanks in advance ...

    Speaker advice! Axiom choice with SVS ...

    OK I've decided Axiom's are the speaker for me. I have a Rotel RSX 965 Receiver (150w per ch or 75w RMS per ch) and a 16-46CS+ with S1000...I'm ordering the 2nd 16-46 soon. Anyway my goal is even more impact for HT as I'm 40%HT/40%Xbox/20%music. Ground shuddering impact... I'm a total bass...

    Who here went from one CS/CS+ to two??

    I ordered a 16-46 CS+ and Samson S1000 I have thus far been EXTREMELY impressed with the bass output and the total lack off "boominess" from this sub. However, I do manage to induce "clacking" on very bass heavy scenes during my movie viewing ... To say I watch movies loudly is an...
