Let me guess ... the tweeters are blown? If that's the case then I suggest a 1" dome tweeter as a replacement. They are quite cheap and you just have to match the efficiency and come up with a highpass filter that will work...

I can only suggest building your own with grille cloth and thin MDF say 3 or 6mm. Can you make a recess in your pillars so it all sits flush?

Hmmm, I wonder if you actually really really mean that! (This reply will test it out .... )You want to build your own? Do you like the sound of cinema speakers?Start with a digital active crossover - Behringer Ultracurve DCX2496...

G'day Michael! I found your thread while looking up the Nad receiver! Not sure if you are still looking for responses, but here are my thoughts. I'd stick with your receiver, but consider some of these upgrade options. 1. Active...

Peerless XLS 12" is a good one to consider. It's not the latest thing, but it's distortion is very good. It's quite happy with a small box. I also hear good things about the Dayton Reference subs, although I can't say I've had...

Well, both Robert and I agree that 2 is better than one if you can get away with it. If you can't get away with it, then 1 will have to be enough. On the question of whether 1 is enough or not, that's a personal decision, and we can't...

He already has two subs, and two are better than one in many ways. Why just use one? Even if one gives enough output, better to have two operating with less power to each, lower excursion, lower distortion. Also placement can give a...

Walt, I would avoid using those unless practical considerations override performance. Is in-wall an option for you? I think you will find it more realistic. In-wall has quite a few advantages. Efficiency is one of them, as well as...

Brian, my thinking was similar when I first tried the idea - it was like subwoofer headphones - more bass for me, less for everyone else. I actually set up my two subs in different positions for a few weeks, all of them near the couch...

I'll tell you something I wish someone had told me before I bought those AV12s. They are really only home theater sub drivers, and I suspect that driver you are looking at is the same. I've tried many different things to try to get them...
