    Should I close off a room, or buy bigger sub?

    I do not quite understand what that means. But, how about leave it and get a sub ( SVS 20-39pc plus ?) that would be big enough to handle the adjoining room? Thanks!

    Should I close off a room, or buy bigger sub?

    I am leaning towards closing it off. My wife is concerned with making the house look " small " with it closed. If, the room would be 18x11 closed, what size sub would you guys go with?

    John, thanks for the reply.I have a room that is 18 x 11 and use an Energy 5.2 system with 2 subs. One is the 8'Energy sub and the other is a 10' old Kenwood.

    Front speaker distance

    What if having them the same distance seperated as away from the listening position means that they are near or very close to the side walls. Would that be alright? Also on many sites I see pictures of peoples speakers and they are right up against their tvs.

    axiom question. Please help!!

    I am leaning towards the 60s, mostly because I like the look and don't want to be bothered with stands. I was wondering if 12 ft away was too close for the 60s though. What do you think? A door makes it impossible to hang my Qs8s to my sides at ear level, so my choices are: 1)Slightly in front...

    axiom question. Please help!!

    I just got the OK to purchase some Axioms to replace my Energy 5.2 system! I am going VP150, 2 Qs8s, but cannot decide on the M60 or M22s. I will be getting a HSU STF2 sub. Would like to get moving on this, but am not sure. Any thoughts? Thanks

    Energy Connoisseurs with 5.2 system?

    Oh, do you think that the 2.2 center for the 5.2 system with a c-1 front upgrade would not be a good match? That center is alitle expensive. Would the c -1s be ok if I laid them on their sides? I dont think that they will work on my 2.2 stands. They will however go nicely on my bookcase, but on...

    Energy Connoisseurs with 5.2 system?

    Would Energy Connoisseur C-1s be a good upgrade for my 5.2 system? I was thinking of buying a pair for and keep my center and surrounds. Maybe add the existing 5.2s for side surrounds when I go 7.1, now I have 5.1. Thanks

    sub hook up question

    I was wondering because my Denon has no crossover control ( I think ). My Energy sub has a crossover input that bypasses the subs controls, and an input that uses them. Which in my case would be best? Any idea?
