    Elac Debut 2.0 or Uni-Fi 2.0 bookshelf?

    I set up a 5.1.4 layout with the SuperZeros and omni-mounts pointing them at my MLP. Not the most ascetic look but I wanted to listen to as many examples as I could before I concealed the wires. Just wasn't worth it. Maybe I didn't have them optimized or just the wrong speakers but the sizzle...

    Elac Debut 2.0 or Uni-Fi 2.0 bookshelf?

    My MLP is too close to the wall for rear surrounds. I'm happy with it.

    Elac Debut 2.0 or Uni-Fi 2.0 bookshelf?

    Extremely happy with the Uni-Fi 2.0s, along with the Elac DB52 surrounds. Just a much larger, richer presence and sound quality than the NHT SuperZeros. My room is 12' x 19' so similar volume. I'll usually go up to -5dB on movies and it's all I need. Played around with Atmos using 4 NHTs on the...

    Interesting. I'll look into that.

    Elac Debut 2.0 or Uni-Fi 2.0 bookshelf?

    Got it. I'm not there yet. I have a umik-1 but very early in the learning curve. I'm using Audyssey to set delays and trims and limiting correction to ~300Hz for bass management. John which mini-dsp device are you using to apply correction?

    Elac Debut 2.0 or Uni-Fi 2.0 bookshelf?

    So do either of you use it for distance (delays) and trims? I realize the AVR is settings those, not Audyssey, but do you use Audyssey to determine those settings initially and then turn it off? Or leave it on and limit the correction to 200-300Hz and below?

    Elac Debut 2.0 or Uni-Fi 2.0 bookshelf?

    They're off to the side and slightly behind me now, but only a foot or so above ear level. The NHTs have a bracket mount that I had been using that put them near the ceiling but I thought they were too high based on everything I read. Take a look at my plan below and tell me whether they are too...

    Elac Debut 2.0 or Uni-Fi 2.0 bookshelf?

    The price difference doesn't bother me, but like you mention the difference for surrounds didn't seem to be important. The size of either will be a significant increase over the NHTs. I sit in an arm chair that has "wings" that are 40" high so I need to keep the tweeters above that. I need to...

    Elac Debut 2.0 or Uni-Fi 2.0 bookshelf?

    Well after 2+ weeks of listening to both 5.1 and 2.1 sources through the X3600H I'm still very happy with the Uni-Fi 2.0s. Now...I'm feeling the need (want?) to change out the rear surrounds from the Super Zeros to something with a little larger presence and compliment the Uni-Fi L/C/R. I'm...

    Elac Debut 2.0 or Uni-Fi 2.0 bookshelf?

    The Elac Uni-Fi 2.0s (UB52 and UC52) arrived late in the week and after just a couple days of listening I'm quite pleased with the difference I can hear, both 2-channel and 5.1. Very happy I went this route and replaced the NHT Super Zero fronts and center. They're great speakers for what they...

    Elac Debut 2.0 or Uni-Fi 2.0 bookshelf?

    Bad terminology (maybe curtain?), what I meant was I limited the "MultEQ Filter Frequency Range" upper limit in the editor from the default 20KHz down to 500Hz. I'm going to try 300Hz as well, but from what I read the strong suit for Audyssey is bass management and not the rest of the spectrum...

    Elac Debut 2.0 or Uni-Fi 2.0 bookshelf?

    Well an interesting thing happened today as I wait for the Uni-Fi 2.0's to arrive. I've been playing around with Audyssey and Audyssey XT32 since I bought the Denon S750H in early January and then upgraded to the X3600H less than 2 weeks ago, running and rerunning it, being totally confused by...

    Elac Debut 2.0 or Uni-Fi 2.0 bookshelf?

    The Debut 2.0 is pretty popular here (as well as AVS), but you're right there's not a lot of real world reports on the Uni-Fi 2.0 yet. I've read everything I can find (reviewers and users) but that only goes so far. So I ordered the Uni-Fi UB52s and UC52 and they should be here Friday. Looking...

    Elac Debut 2.0 or Uni-Fi 2.0 bookshelf?

    That's the way I'm leaning. I think the three-way would be better for mids and highs, especially listening to 2-channel , and with a sub I'm not real concerned about bass. Thanks for the response.

    Elac Debut 2.0 or Uni-Fi 2.0 bookshelf?

    Looking to upgrade my F/C/R bookshelf home theater speakers. Currently using NHT SuperZero with a Denon X3600H. Lots of love here for the Debut 2.0 but don't hear much about the new Uni-Fi series. Any opinions on the cost/value of the Uni-Fi's over the Debut 5 or 6 series? BTW I don't have any...
