Does anyone have any performance specs on the new Rocket Subwoofer? How does the 10" driver compare to a SVS 12"? How do you think two Rocket Subs stacked would compare to one SVS PB2? Curious, Chris

Can a subwoofer damage other speakers? In a previous post I mentioned placing two SVS B4-Plus subs on either side of a floor standing center channel (ex.VMPS RM40). Can the close proximity of two monster subs like the B4-Plus cause any damage to the center or mains over a period of time? Is it...

Here is my question: In an acoustically treated dedicated home theater and music listening room that is 30'x17'x9'I want to use dual subwoofers. I need to place them as close to the mains as possible. I am using three VMPS RM40's for the front three. The center is placed behind a micro-perf...

By the way, Would a sub-woofer utilizing the four Tumults be able to out-perform the new SVS B4-Plus?

I like the idea of four subs. How about using them stereo fasion with two stacks of two? Or can I build two enclosures using two tumults and four PR's each? Chris

I want to build a sub-woofer using four Tumults with eight 18" PR's in one enclosure. Any suggestions on size and driver configuration? Yes, I am serious. Any idea's will be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance, Chris

Question?, I am willing to spend around $3000.00 on a passive DIY subwoofer. Will this kind of money allow me to build something better than say the new SVS B4 plus? I am going to have a 4000 cubic ft dedicated home theater and want the best reference level low end I can get. Will three or...

SVS Ron, I can appreciate the good looks of your woofers. However, grill covers are essential for anyone with children. A back box is not near as inviting to little fingers as a black box with shiny silver circles peaking out. I urge you to offer grill covers "now" as opposed to down the...

Tom V., When can we expect to see the B4 mentioned on the SVS web-site? Will their be speaker grill material over the woofers? Chris

I thought it would be nice to have a thread title dedicated to the information on the new SVS B4 Super-Sub. Hopefully it will make it easier to locate the information in one place as opposed to scattered threads of varying titles. Just a thought, Chris

The "New Larger Subwoofer" by VMPS! Like SVS you just cannot go wrong with this sub. It just depends on your space requirements and rather you can live with a large box or a tall tube. Regards, Chris

I have auditioned most of the speakers mentioned so far and I can say that the VMPS RM40 bested them all in my opinion. I know several people who have sold their JM Lab and Wilson speakers to purchase the RM40. Do a little research and you will see why. They one "Best In Show" at Cedia -and that...

Multi-channel music questions? How much of a music track is sent to the surround channels as opposed to the two mains? How is the center channel utilized? If one is going to listen to quite a bit of music in a multi-channel system is it important to have surrounds comparable to the Left and...

Scott, The audition was in a home with a professionally designed home theater. I agree that the RM40's are a bit big for some applications. Mine will be hidden in the design of my theater so "looks" are not a priority. I not only believe the RM40's are a "great bang for the buck", they are...

Scott, It is funny you should mention the article since I just found that one yesterday. I think it is really something that the VMPS can stand out in such a crowd of great speakers. I have auditioned many high end brands. I have heard the JM Lap Grand Utopia's, B&W 801's etc. The RM40's to...

After a four hour audition of the TRIAD Platinum and the VMPS RM40 I and three other friends came to the same conclusion- the RM40's were the best speaker we had ever heard. I have personally listened to top of the line M&K, JM Labs, B&W, Paradigm, NHT, Klipsch and a few others. The RM40's are...

Any differences in Logic 7 versions?

Thanks so much for the input.

M&K claims that their 150 speakers are stack-able for an increase of six dbl's. My question is: How would stacking speakers on top of each other effect imaging? Chris

I had rounded down my HT choices to the M&K active 150 system or the Triad Platinum system. Then, a friend said he had heard the Genelec 1038A's in a high end HT. He said it blew away the M&K and Triad Plats. They are $7000.00 each so you have to pay for such great sound. I personally have not...

Has anyone had experience with the Genelec 1037 or 1038A? Chris

Has anyone heard both the ACTIVE and the PASSIVE version of the M&K 150's? Did you notice any better sound from the powered version? What benefits do you find with active speakers? Chris

The Lexicon MC-12 has ports for a left and right sub in addition to a LFE port. How do you use these and why? Chris

How does the M&K 5000II sub stack up against a top of the line SVS? I am not just looking for opinions,although they are welcome, but rather real numbers to compare with. Will a SVS mix nicely with a M&K THX 150 system? Chris

Has anyone had the chance to audition speakers from the Italian maker "Sonus Faber"? What did you think? Chris

I am a little confused over the differences between Circle Surround and Logic7. Are these two routes to the same destination or are they very different animals altogether?

Thanks for the great input. Another question I have is in regard to the Theta and Lexicon. One touts "Circle Surround" while the other has "Logic7". Are these to roads to the same destination or are there big differences?

Thanks Mark, I am looking for a great pre/pro to match up with my active M & K theater system.

Which pre/pro do you feel is best for 100% HT? Theta Casablanca 2 EAD Theatermaster 8000 Pro Meridian 861 Lexicon MC 12
