Im still very impressed with these. Im not quite sure how long the break in period is. On the 82is i have it took two monthsagrojean said:Hey Northgun,Just order the pl89. Will be here Friday. Can't wait. How are yours doing? Any advice on break in period? Thanks again!!
You've got a really good start going there! Must sound really good! Hows the pl-200 working out for you?agrojean said:Well so far I've got the pl-200, pl-26, and the pl-89. They are awesome.
The difference between the pl-26 and pl-28 is not huge by any means. The pl-26 sports 6.5 inch woofers, a 375 watt peak, and a frequency range of 32 Hz to 20 kHz. The pl-28 has 8 inch woofers, a 500 power peak, and a frequency range 30Hz-23kHz. There is also a slight difference is the sensitivity of the two units. The fact that you have a subwoofer probably means you have a crossover frequency set that is 80 Hz or higher so the pl-28's ability to put out some lower sounds is rendered useless. So there really isn't a huge difference, but the pl-28 is a bit better.agrojean said:Do u think there's much differenec between the pl-28 vs the pl-26.
The system is coming along wonderfully. With the addition of the pl-28, I'm done buying speakers. In the next few weeks I'll be buying a new pre-amp. I'll be either getting the Emotiva UMC200 or the Sherbourn Pt-7030. Quite excited about that. I'll also be picking the Dune 3D Base unit and putting a 3 TB Hard Drive in it.agrojean said:How's your system coming. The best thing about these speakers are they deliver amazing audio at ever volume whether loud or quiet.
Whats your take on the PL-200 sub now that you have had it for a wail now?Wayne_j said:I just got the PL-200 sub. Much better than my old Polk PSW-10.
Thanks, Northgun!!!! I really enjoy my BIC Acoustech speakers. Movies and etc. do, indeed, sound wonderful through the BIC Acoustech speaker system I have set up in my main unit. Once I make my move to the PL-89II series later this year, I will also be bringing in a new HT receiver to compliment the transition. Yes, Northgun, those PL-28 center channel speakers do, indeed, sound sensational!!!!! I am so glad that you are enjoying yours!!!!! When my new PL-28II arrives later this year, my incumbent PL-28 will be moving to the cave along with a pair of HT-75's to cover the front-end channels there!!!!!!Northgun said:Sounds like you have your eyes set on quite a set up there tina! Your current setup sounds pretty nice as well. I too plan to get the same center channel u r going e get. Ill be getting it in december at the latest.
That is going to be an awesome day for you! You'll have two really good setups going! What subwoofers are you using for your main setup and the second setup? I know you said you had one PL200. Just curious what else your using.Tina_H_V said:When my new PL-28II arrives later this year, my incumbent PL-28 will be moving to the cave along with a pair of HT-75's to cover the front-end channels there!!!!!!
Oh, no, I don't have the PL200 just yet. For now, I am going with a pair of compact Onkyo powered subwoofers which, for now, are more than delivering the goods. I will move one of the Onkyos into the cave once the PL200 does eventually arrive. The sub I am using there happens to be a small Techwood PSW109 powered subwoofer. I picked it up on the cheap during the 2006 Holidays and has remained in use in the cave ever since!!! Interestingly, it has lasted me well for over seven years--much longer than any of the powered subs I have owned throughout my years in this wonderful hobby of ours thus far!!!! Yes, I am looking forward to making the receiver and speaker makeovers count and happen this year. Then, I'll really be smoking in my two super setups. Besides my annual $anta $avings, I will also set up a separate savings repository for the audio upgrades. What a better time to get that started than right now at the beginning of the new year!!!!???? Thanks for asking, Northgun!!!Northgun said:That is going to be an awesome day for you!

O ohk, I mis-understood an earlier post then. Everyone I have talked to says the pl-200 are amazing so far, so I'm sure you'll love it too when you get yours. A friend of mine as well as a client of mine are both having me install their home theater for them in February and both of them are getting the pl-200 for their sub so I'll get to hear them personally next month. I've heard a lot of good things about Onkyo subs so I'm not surprised those are doing the job for now I too have an older sub like your techwood that is a less known brand, but has stood the test of time and use. I have a KLH subwoofer from 2004 that still sounds pretty good. Its currently retired and waiting for me to put together my second system. I won't be doing that for a couple years though, no room in my current house.Tina_H_V said:Oh, no, I don't have the PL200 just yet.
