    Funk Audio 18.3 Subs Up and Running

    I think I have them all at -23 so they sum to 75db at listening position. 90% of the time I can't tell the difference between the 4 hooked up and the 2 hooked up. But I can definitely tell the difference with the low extension. Every now and then when it goes down low, I can hear the house...

    Funk Audio 18.3 Subs Up and Running

    Oh boy no for me! Audyssey usually puts the subs to like +5db, and I turn them back down to 0db, because I calibrate them summed to 75db before I even run Audyssey. So if ran them 5db hot from the already 5db hot that Audyssey tries to put them at....I fear my house would literally tear apart...

    Funk Audio 18.3 Subs Up and Running

    I wouldn't know. My house would probably fall down. They are all calibrated to -25db to reach a summed 75db at seating position. I still have yet to hear a real movie with them. But I have Avengers for Sunday night, so hopefully that will be a good audition.

    Out with the Polk, in with the Funk. Two in the Front, Two in the Rear.

    Receiver Recommendation if you had to buy today? (I do)

    Oh boy, anything within reason. ...Up to $3K I guess. I'm actually running 4 subs and 2 buttkickers, but it's all through an active splitter, so effectively one sub out is fine. I'm wired for 7 speakers on the ground and 4 overhead as well. I'd even consider a pre/pro solution.

    Receiver Recommendation if you had to buy today? (I do)

    So the HDMI board on my Onkyo finally fried. I'm going to run HDMI straight to my projector and hook up an optical line to the Onkyo in an attempt to be able to still use it for the time being. But that brings me to my question: If you had to buy a receiver today, which one would you buy...

    Anyone know how to calibrate a Transducer (Buttkicker, Clark Synthesis)

    Yes this is old. I went against everyone (and their mother's advice) and setup the Funk 18.3's in the front of the theater (15 feet from seating distance) and moved the Polks to the rear (5 feet from seating distance). I calibrated them all equally to sum to 75 db at the sitting position, and to...

    5 Reasons Dolby Atmos May Be DOA

    When I bought speakers for my room I bought 11 speakers (including front and rear heights) all of the same brand and line so they matched. But my AVR only supports 7.1. So for years I've had the heights installed but doing nothing. So this was the year I was going finally to upgrade my AVR, and...

    Need Confirmation: First Projector + Screen - Does this make sense?

    I'm upgrading to a Projector and Screen, and I've been reading everywhere trying to figure this out. This is what I came up with, am I correct, or nuts? 1.) Screen: I have a dream of having a screen go from wall to wall. I have 136" from side wall to side wall and 96" from floor to ceiling. My...

    Particle Fever - A movie about theoretical physics

    You obviously just read the synopsis. Watch the movie. Without giving away anything I'll say that it is exactly on this topic, and something that should be watched if you are into this topic. HOWEVER, that being said, I hated the movie.

    Time to downgrade Onkyo receivers to Junk status?

    I think I have the 805, not the 875, but anyways, I just replaced the resistors as in the thread I cited above, and my display works again. I've always had an external fan blowing over the Onkyo, but while I had her opened up, I installed another quiet CPU fan just above the transformer, which...

    Recommendations for LCR Floorstanders <$10K and <$20K?

    Ok, so I was talking to my brother today, and he said there is no way my room is that big. So how about 15'Widex40'Deepx8'High? Like I said, those measurements were guestimates from memory, and obviously I must have been measuring the length of my house or something when I made them. Jay21112...

    Recommendations for LCR Floorstanders <$10K and <$20K?

    That was quite awesome. One thing to take into account here. I did say BOTH speakers under $20K and speakers under $10K. I'm not purposefully trying to throw money to the wind here. If I can get something that sounds just as good for half the price....that's exactly what I'm looking for. I...

    Recommendations for LCR Floorstanders <$10K and <$20K?

    Hmm, much of this is speculation...especially since the screen isn't built yet, but: -The room is 30'Wide. I haven't measured the depth and height but it's probably 8-10'Height and 60-80'Depth. -I think my seating calculation brought me somewhere between 8-15' from screen (after averaging for...

    WOW, BoredSysAdmid, holy JTR! Noesis 215RT (Reference Tower): $3.5-$4K +/-3db 18hz-24khz, 95db/1w, 2x 15" woofers, 17" wide, 72" tall, 22.5" deep Like I said. I want to pay for the speaker....not the fancy paint and finish. JTR Noesis floor standing, full range speakers? - JTR Speakers Inc.

    Recommendations for LCR Floorstanders <$10K and <$20K?

    Sure, or subs facing just one side of the cabinet...or just a L or R on the serial number. But yes, any speaker that isn't symmetrical would make me suspect it wouldn't be good as a center. And while you may be 100% correct in what you say, I think that deep down a part of me would feel like I...

    Recommendations for LCR Floorstanders <$10K and <$20K?

    You know, I've been thinking that. As I look at all these speakers with exotic finishes, I think to myself "How much for the speaker unpainted?" I want to pay for the performance, but not for the looks...I don't need the looks if they will be behind the screen. So, maybe I have been looking in...

    Recommendations for LCR Floorstanders <$10K and <$20K?

    Yes, I was looking at Legacy Audio. I remember when Audioholics previewed the Focus SE, and I thought it sounded very interesting. Then I saw the Aeris, and thought...hmmm, I wonder if I could find those things used... :) But I'm getting off topic. What would be the difference between doing a...

    Recommendations for LCR Floorstanders <$10K and <$20K?

    Wow, you've all mentioned speakers I've never even heard of before (well, I've heard of Seaton, but only subwoofers). Heck, those Danley speakers don't even look like anything i've seen in home theater before. Horns - man, that's crazy. I was googling stuff like (in no particular order): Klipsh...
