polk audio Lsi7 on sale for $149/each @Fry's the lowest price w/ Vifa ring radiator tweeter. the drawback is you need a decent receiver to make them shine.
It looks like STF-2 goes deeper(-2db vs -3db@25hz). It looks like STF-2 goes cheaper($315+tax@Compusa vs $549+shipping). So the key point is how loud do you want in HT. My room is 12(w)x15(l)x8(h) with sub in the center of one side and sofa next to the wall of the other side. My receiver is...
Bass Reflex: "an increase in linear bass output for a given enclosure" Does it mean for a given enclosure, a Bass reflex will be +/- 3db down to 25hz and -8db@23hz, -20db@20hz and an Acoustic Suspended will be +/- 3db down to 28hz, -4db@25, -6db@23hz, -10db@20hz which will give you much more...
I auditioned Paradigm monitor series, B&W 600 series and KEF Q series before I bought my Polk RTi70. Even there are many better speakers for sound quality, you just can't beat RTi series price especially now and you will hold the ticket for full refund upgrade in one year if you buy it from CC...
I also got RTi70 and i am very happy. For me Rti100 will not only waste your money but also degrade the clarity of your sound. I have HK AVR520 and with RTi70 alone it can go down as low as my PSW-350/RTi70 combanation. On the other hand, my psw-350 can go down deeper than Def Tech prosub...
I like Rocket UFW-10's spec. Another candidate is Outlaws's LFM-1, 12"/350W/115dB 20~100hz/under $600. http://www.outlawaudio.com//news/news_jun03_new.html
can you set no sub for stereo mode & different sub cross freq for diff surround mode? I also use HK 520 but in my machine i can only set one sub and one cross freq for all modes and it disables sub automatically in FM. do i get a defect one?
My room is 12LX15WX8H and i am using floor-standing speakers Polk audio RTi70. It's fine for my case but i had similar worry as you before. I don't know it helps or not but when i choose the speakers i pick the ones with front or down-firing instead of rear ports and when i set the receiver i...
If you can go to Fry's (they are everywhere in CA.), they have polk R30 tower $139/pair, R15 $79/pair, CSI20 $79/each and PSW-350 $199/each, total=$496 i think it's a good starter. But they are on sale alternatively so you may need 3 weeks to get all of them.(or you go for 4 R10 $59/pair, it...
If I set front speaker=large in HK 520, what is the difference between sub out=LFE and sub out=LFE+(L&R)? Do I still connect my sub Polk psw-350 with LFE in or with L&R in or connect all three (LFE, L & R line-in) together to HK sub out? thx for the reply
I bougt DT prosub 100 ($399 from magnolia Hifi) and polk psw-350 ($199 from Fry's) for comparision before. Even pro100 claims 250W & go down much lower(2?hz) than polk (3?hz), when i play test tone w/ SPL meter at home polk just goes down lower & blends better with my mains and you do hear big...
my personal experience: B&W602S3($600/pair) sounds better and looks nicer than paradigm monitor 7 v3($579/pair) but both without discount and not magnetic shielded. you may need stands for them but 602 sounds better than 602.5 & 603 in my ears. KEF Q9 ($1299/pair) looks & sounds best and...

Hi, I am looking for main speakers for my living room. My room size is 8(H)X15(W)X12(L). My receiver is Harman/Kardon AVR520. My sub is polk audio PSW350. My center & surround are polk entry models. I use 70% music & 30% home theater. I want to choose between polk audio lxi9 (msrp$899)...
Hi, I live in San Jose and I am interested in Paradigm monitor 5 v3 after reading many posts on this site. Anybody knows the retail price of Monitor 5 v3? If you find a good discount dealer please let me know. Maybe I can add up the buying power with Thang. Thx
