I have the T500's and the MC500 center. The T500's have almost as much bass as a single VTF-3! If you are having problems with bass output from your T-500's...something is wrong! Most of the gripes regarding the T500's is that they have too much bass and are hard to tame. I can shake the whole room with just the T500's and we are talking a huge room (18X22...with 18' ceiling...and open on 2 ends! Very leaky. I am driving the speakers with 3 Outlaw Audio 200W monoblocks and I have never heard any distortion...even at insane levels. I would double check everything...and try just running speaker wire to them without the line level sub cable...try to isolate where the distortion is coming from....the T500's are awesome speakers that can play at extreme levels while staying very accurate.

Just a thought...where do you have the speakers pluged in? I know of someone that plugged the speakers into the back of the receiver and this will cause the sub amps to clip because of a lack of current.



I\'ve seen things you people wouldn\'t believe. Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion. I watched C-beams glitter in the dark near Tannhauser Gate. All those moments will be lost in time... like tears in rain.
