Got Macallans already, about 3/4th's already drank :-) Also have Highland Park at the moment, good stuff too. Highland Park is more peaty than Balvenie (which is only slightly peaty), and Macallans (which is not peaty at all). My favorite peaty scotch has got to be Lagavulin (very nice, but not...

Hehe. How's the house coming? We'll have to get together again, I got some nice scotch to share :-) (Balvenie Double Wood). The funny thing is I'm not using the stuffing for a subwoofer, but for a pair of headphones :-) They have good drivers but poor/flimsy ear cup construction (hollow w/no...

When you stuff a sealed box with wool or fiberglass, does it have any other effect besides fooling the driver in to "seeing" a bigger box? IE, is efficiency or any other parameter effected by stuffing the box?

SVS-Ron, I actually don't own a VMPS sub, I got a custom sub built for my by Kyle at Acoustic Visions, based around a BluePrint 1503 driver and dual 18 inch passive radiators. I wanted a single box sub that I'd never have to worry about bottoming out, even if I got a bigger HT space in the...

Easy, Odyssey Stratos.

I'm selling my marble 9.0's and 4.0'sfrom my HT for a good price - the marble looks better than the ceramic, and they are much better performers. Email me or pm me if you want pictures.

But is the upgrade for $900 finally going to get rid of the hiss? That is my main complaint against the Act 3 - the features are reasonable for what I'm using it for (only 5.1 HT, no music listening). I'm just tired of the hiss and noise, and figure this is my chance to get a quiet unit. Can...

My Act 3 has been a faithful companion for the past several years, but I'm looking to replace it. Requirements: 1. video switching - a couple of S-Video switches, component video not necessary (but might be nice). 2. Must be quiet. The only real drawback of my Act 3 is the hiss that it...

I would say that I have owned an SVS 16-46CS in the past and have compared it to a friends Original and a different friend's Larger VMPS subs, and prefered the VMPS subs, especially for music. I would say it, but I'm so certain that I'll get flamed and argued with (by people who have never heard...

I say get the adire rava and don't worry about upgrading for a while. . .

General rule is never by speakers that have a woofer smaller than 5.5 inches. Smaller than that and it's impossible to avoid gaps in frequency response when integrating to the sub.

5 nOrh 4.0's ($850 delivered) and an SVS 25-31 ($359) should give you some killer sound for your budget.

Also, saw that the Blueprint drivers are being liquidated - the 1203 is going for $159 and only requires a 44 liter box (very small - about 16 inches tall, and 12 inches deep and 12 inches wide). Check the link below: http://www.audioliquidators.com/sub.html

How about some Gallo Acoustic speakers - small and unboxy:

B&W got it right w/the HTM center speaker. Tweeter over midrange construction. I wish more companies would take that as an example and correct an easily fixable design flaw in center speakers.
