If you damaged them, you'd know. Sent from my moto e5 play using Tapatalk

A better question is what consumer speakers can handle a full 600w rms? Sent from my moto e5 play using Tapatalk

I would second this. I have often pushed my puny car stereo and heard my brother push his inefficient speakers too hard and there's a point where it begins sounding shrill, or perhaps another way to describe it is "brittle", and fatiguing. I don't have this problem on my ht setup. Turning the...

Assuming they don't move into a mansion, additional power shouldn't be a concern even if OP did move into a house. I can easily achieve reference volume in a 2,700 cubic foot space with the much less capable Denon AVR-X1300W using the previous 160m in the series and the smaller 250c (which is...

Iny experience, symmetry and placement are crucial to proper imaging. If that means you have to compromise with bookshelves then I would do that. Sent from my moto e5 play using Tapatalk

Most of the time dynamic swings are very short, say a car crash or guys shot, that's a fraction of a second, most avrs CAN handle full power ACD for short dynamic bursts. The only time a steady ACD test is relevant is if you're listening to some godawful pop music in all channel stereo with the...

I fell in love with Klipsch speakers because they sounded just like the big horn speakers at the cinema. They just sound so dynamic and larger than life and i actually like how the controlled directivity images. Sent from my moto e5 play using Tapatalk

Damn. If only they offered a more competent center and a bookshelf version... I can say from experience these are definitely more accurate than the klipsch, but not quite as efficient. Sent from my moto e5 play using Tapatalk

The cs20 is literally the same tweeter and voicing as the cs2. I'd definitely recommend it over the 10 for the improved dynamic range. Sent from my moto e5 play using Tapatalk

Movies at or near reference can really drive this requirement up too. Average dialog levels are around -27dBfs, that means the loudest sound, be it a gunshot or explosion in a big action movies is going to be 27dB louder than the dialog. You lose quite a bit of power over a distance, while...

It's worth noting their sensitivity ratings are based on a model of a real room vs anechoic. If you want an anechoic number you can shave off about 4dB from their given rating, but then again, that anechoic number isn't an accurate representation of how it performs in a room with reflective...

I'd be looking at a dayton sub 1500 in that price range. Sent from my moto e5 play using Tapatalk

Ah. That makes more sense. I can say from experience with my 12x11 room, more subs definitely is the way to go. If your budget is stuck at a ceiling of $400, 4 sub 1000s each at the middle point of each wall is what I'd do. They have useful output down to 30hz, and are -3dB at 35hz. If you...

Didn't OP say though the Bic sounds good everywhere he places it? Generally, square rooms are awful, but flexible walls can definitely change that. Unless your room is made of concrete or hard plaster, it's generally a crapshoot what will happen. The dayton 1500 is large no doubt, but for a $200...

The dayton 1500 goes deeper, plays louder, and measures flatter than the f12. I find it's very musical. I can switch back and forth between my much more expensive Klipsch RP-160m speakers (flat to about 35hz in my room) in direct mode with no xover and the sub 1500 crossed at 60hz and hear no...

My only experience with the R-xx series is the R-15m, 14m and 26f powered version. The 15m and 14m sound very good for the price to me, and have slightly more laid back highs than the premeire series, the powered version of the speaker you're referencing had a slightly weighty mid bass section...

I'm not really a fan of audyssey for movies or music. I think room EQ can help with frequencies below 200hz but unfortunately I've yet to get the app to properly work, it often incorrectly detects the -3dB point of my sub and causes an early roll off. Of course it's been over a year since I've...

You should get able to get at least 105dB or more out of a sub 1500 in that room, as I could easily get 105dB in a 20x12 room with a semi open back wall. Being a square room though, you're likely to have some pretty bad standing waves that possibly aren't excited well enough by the CV's. Sent...

$500 for speakers isn't a lot. How big is your room? Sent from my moto e5 play using Tapatalk

I'd agree with some of the points. Personally, I would never opt for 80hz as a standard xover point, it's just too high, and group delay and an audible disconnect from the rest of the speakers has always been apparent to me. In my personal experience, IF the speakers can handle it and IF the...
