Hehe. Only things different now are the tracklights I added and the massive 18" subwoofer. Well, and a ton of boxes laying around making it hard to walk, but other than that... :D Just think of all the HD football games coming up that you could watch with this thing! I am going to be gone for...

Before I take the plunge on a tv for my upcoming apartment, I wanted to get some advice. Let me describe the setup with a layout. This top side faces west. Both the West and South walls are floor to ceiling glass (forget about light control). The tv will probably be driven by an HTPC...
Search for one of my posts within the last few months that showed several maelstrom designs. But no matter whatever enclosure you go with, 1180 for 2 drivers is way too much power. 4 drivers on 1440 will be louder and utilize the power in a safer way too.
Do you have a subwoofer? If you will be using a subwoofer and cutting off both speakers at 80Hz anyway, then there isn't much difference as long as the bookshelves extend well below 80Hz. Invest the price savings on higher quality bookshelves instead of lower quality floorstanders, and you'll...
My new Adire Maelstrom. It is hard to get that close without getting blurry, but for a few inches the yellow is not flush with the black metal. There is a gap of around 2mm. There is no glue coming out of the edges like in other places where there is actually excess. Is this defective? Will...
http://www4.head-fi.org/forums/showt...threadid=32552 hehe, I posted there first :D I doubt there is much cross traffic though, so I'm trying here too.
If you want sealed for a tight sound under $650, then you may be better served by a larger or better driver than the Shiva in the Adire Rava. Anyone know of good kits using the Tempest 15" sealed? I personally am about to build a Maelstrom 18" sealed, but there are no kits for it. If you have...
GOLD RCA JACK TO 1/4" MONO PLUG ADAPTOR Parts Express Part Number 091-1010 $1.80 each http://www.partsexpress.com/pe/showd..._ID=2427&DID=7 Will this work? If I'm doing 2 separate subs I'll just need 4 of these right? Thanks.
Ryan, Besides Adire, I would look into HSU, SVS. The links I gave you are not kits, they are completed subs! Acoustic-visions.com sells several kits (including the Adire ones), and so does parts express at http://www.partsexpress.com/webpage....536&filter=kit Read around the forum and...
I love B&W speakers, but this subwoofer doesn't have very impressive specifications: http://www.bwspeakers.com/index.cfm/...el%20ASW%20600 This is only a single 10" on 150watts, so even though they describe it as "long throw" I think you can do a lot better. Again, Paradigm speakers are...
If you are capable of building your own, that is an excellent option. There are many of us here who would be willing to help you design an even cheaper and higher performing sub than what you're looking at. What are your specific goals? Music or home theater? SVS and HSU are favorites around...
Ok, no pressure, that's good. I just didn't want to be unfair to anybody since 3 people have asked about the sub, but nobody has said "here's the money" yet. Just get back to me when you're ready to finalize guys- both PM and this thread send me direct email notification. PM me if you want my...
With the CC trade-in, you've got lots of options. I've heard of plenty of guys changing the tweeters though, and they were pleased with the results. I guess it really depends on if you like the RTi70 or your current RT600 better. I have no experience with the RT600, so I couldn't suggest...
I think your potential setup is absolutely insane! I love it :D I would check into the voice matching on the RT600 and RTi150 though, since I think they're different. Then again, it seems that you are going for sheer impact and envelopment over accuracy, which is probably more impressive for...
We found out we were underinsured on our personal possessions (this is even more likely to happen for guys here with lots of electronics, so double check). The smoke damage was horrible and wrecked everything, but luckily no one was home. We also may end up taking the insurance company and...
