    1 sub vs. Dual sub dilemma

    I used the harman spreadsheet to see what my room should look like theoretically... so I'm getting two 20-39pci's...I'll start with 1 in the corner and measure the room's response at the seating locations. Then I'll move that sub to the midpoint on the right wall and see what happens at the...

    1 sub vs. Dual sub dilemma

    i appreciate all the responses...I am familiar with the harman white paper...it's where I got the idea from at first. the main reason i want to do 2 subs is for room response smoothing...theoretically, my room will have some bad nulls right along where the sofa is going to be that I think I...

    1 sub vs. Dual sub dilemma

    I'm thinking of 2 20-39pci's now, based on ed mullen's saying that the 16-46 is really only for pipe organ aficionados...I'm thinking of placing them as the attached pdf shows to tame some room nulls/modes. now just need to find some... dave

    1 sub vs. Dual sub dilemma

    Ok, I have a 25-31pci that’s a couple years old and working fine. We bought a house a couple years ago and I’m remodeling a room downstairs to be a home theater/media room. It’s approx 30’ x 13’ x 8’ high. I am going to do frequency analysis and room mode analysis to figure out where to place a...

    SVS 25-31 pci for sale, Richmond, VA

    SOLD! I only used it about a year, before we moved into our current house and I started working on a home theater. so it's been boxed up for almost 2.5 years while I wait to finish the HT. I'd like to sell it and upgrade to a larger SVS as the new room is much bigger. It's in perfect...

    Options for subfloor in basement with low ceiling?

    Have you found prices for the above products yet? I like the all-in-one idea but can't see how you'd install carpet on it without it popping up under the pressure from the carpet stretching... dave

    Could I transplant a tweeter from JBL S38II to E90?

    I've been thinking that towers would work better in my new setup and I have s38II's all around right now. saw good deals on the e90's, but I know they have different tweeters. so I was thinking, couldn't I just transplant the tweeters and then I could use the modified towers and they'd be...

    How high to put TV?

    What I know from human ergonomics, it's best to design the viewing angle so that the eye gazes slightly below horizontal with the head upright. the muscles naturally tend to pull the eye to that position if relaxed.

    Using dividing wall as deep bass trap / absorber

    so I'm dividing up a 45 ft long concrete block wall basement into a 29 ft great room/HT area and 16 ft bedroom. the great room that's ~29 ft long has room nulls along that axis of 19, 38, 57, and 77 hz, all right along where the couch is going to sit... so I'm wondering how I can build the...

    Future proof wiring for 10 years

    I'm remodelling my basement in my new house. Half of the great room will house my HT setup and the other half will be a cozy sitting area in front of a fire place. While I currently have a 7.1 setup with a 36" HD tv set and am very satisfied with it. I won't have funds to devote to changing...

    JBL S38's as ceiling mounted surrounds...

    Ok, so you think the back surrounds won't sound good bouncing off the back wall...putting them pointed forward, angled down 30-45 deg, means they'd be directly above our heads on the couch... the side surrounds, you're recommending putting them in front of where we sit? I thought they're...

    JBL S38's as ceiling mounted surrounds...

    Phil, I was thinking of hanging all the surround speakers from the ceiling, close to it, which would place the centerline of the speaker about 80" off the ground. not sure I understand what you said here: are you referring to my idea for the back surrounds? Pointing them away from the...

    Trying to figure out SVS calibration

    I have tested different room placements with my sub, using a custom 15-80hz 5second test tone sweep and a RadioShack meter, and put together the following spreadsheet. The spreadsheet dB's are compensated already using SVS's compensation values. you can go here to download the spreadsheet...

    denon avr-1803 vs harman kardon avr-325

    thanks...I'm starting to like some of the features of the 325 better myself...like the ezset, individual channel crossover settings, heavier weight... I'll probably end up buying the 325 next week...with a 5 year extended warranty (I'm so glad there's a local authorized repair shop for HK, in...

    FS: 12" front-firing powered subwoofer

    what did you replace it with? I'm just getting into a ht setup, and am trying to decide whether to go cheap or spend $300-400 on a better sub...not sure whether I'll really notice the difference... what's your best price shipped to 23231?
