    What makes a good HT speaker as apposed to a good Music speaker.

    You can look at the off-axis FR plot. Theres a lot of labeling going on here. Frankly, people need to go out and see what they actually like. Screw being an audiophile or a HT enthusiast. Be a person who knows what he/she likes and work at getting it. Go audition as many speakers as you...

    Are large underhung designs superior ro xbl^2?

    Keep in mind that enclosure plays a huge role in excursion and output. All it takes is a larger enclosure to get you moving a bit more. Dont know why he talks about getting the cone moving in the midbass. It just isnt needed like the lower octave. For each octave you go up it takes 1/4 the throw...

    I have been shopping around for a large screen for awhile now. I was originally going to get a CRT but ended up walking by the Grand Wega 50" and falling in love.

    Shielding a DIY kit

    Distortion free bass?

    Thats too much excursion for it to be the wall socket. Not unless he has like a 100hz tuning. Nice vid though.

    Dual 1804 IB finally taking shape!

    Oh I am well aware of the blueprint drivers. I just thought they were out of production and were only available on a couple closeout websites. I am thinking a pair of ported 18s would enjoy 850watts each quite a bit. Neighbors might not though.

    Dual 1804 IB finally taking shape!

    Where can you still pick up blueprint drivers? An 1804 just might be what I am looking for. I was thinking of a pair of These instead but the Xmax really doesnt impress me.

    The best I could do for ~$1000. Fluance vs. Axiom.

    Which sound card?

    What sound card do you recommend that has digital outs? Currently using a mic jack/rca converter to my denon 1603 and there is a ton of noise before I can crank it to the desired level. Any suggestions?
