Yes, thats one way to go about it. The only reason I was deciding between one or 2 now, is because its not for SPL reasons but for excursion reasons as I mentioned. And if higher crossover is localizable in nearfield, then will need to go for stereo subs. And then will need to go for DIY subs...

I am planning to buy KEF Q100/Q300. But looking at higher crossover to reduce excursion needs on coax woofer, to reduce its impact on the tweeter response...

Hi TheWarrior, I was specifically referring to nearfield or PC setups... Probably dual subs might be overkill as well. But since the article talks easy localization due to close proximity and high crossover ( which would be required for small speakers) , I thought checking about this with the...

Its mentioned here that if subwoofer is closed to listening position and is crossed above 60Hz, it can be localized (I assumed that's what is meant by pressure waves of the bass being localizable) http://www.audioholics.com/subwoofer-setup/the-marriage-between-the-subwoofer-and-tower-speakers...

The super 8 sub has an upper F3 of 210 Hz. But any idea on the harmonic distortion upto that freq ? Can one use crossover of 210Hz with this sub ? Does anybody have THD measurements for this sub ? Thanks!!!

And assuming the L & R are not more than 6ft apart, will virtual centre work ?

Will a centre like PC351 work wall mounted ?

How about this : On good day good sale price P153 should be good enough as surrounds or rears (mounted directly using screws) One can chose from multiple options for the LCR and even use external mounts if required....

For P153 no mounts should be required as they have the keyhole mounts

Ok.. Yes mounts can be looked at as well.. At their once sale price of $100 each JBL Studio 230 also look to be great option , though rear port could be a problem...

Free field setup is supposed to be better for stereo setup wrt imaging/soundstaging. But does it matter much in HT audio tracks ? Will wall mount be good enough , as thats quite elegant in a living room. Primus 153 looks like one good option (say 5 x p153) What would be other good options...

The Studio 230 has a crossover of 1.1 kHz!!! (confirmed from JBL support as well) Quite low for 6.5" driver based speaker ... which would mean a very wide dispersion speaker ... Even Studio 220 has a crossover of 1.1kHz (as per specs on amazon) Too low to be true for that size :) (excluding DIY )

Unless Q100 are sonically better, LSR305 have a price advantage (and are active too). And both would work in nearfield...

Anybody had a chance to listen to both Q100 and LSR305 (or 308) ? Any comparisons ? Thanks...

They do measure quite well http://www.soundandvision.com/content/jbl-studio-2-speaker-system-test-bench Wonder how they compare with LSR305/308s

Anybody has experience with M-Audio M3-8s ? Couldn't find any measurement data as well... In general, is this 3 way design, i.e woofer + coaxial mid and tweeter, the best design for wide dispersion ? Its also used in some of the best speakers - KEF 201, TAD compact reference, Genelec 8260...

:) Nothing against Ascends :):) But will still prefer Actives....

I thought they were made for very nearfield pc based setup...

Looks like LSR6325 also are similar to Ascends in terms of bass response. If I am adding sub(s) maybe not a worry, except maybe the issue mentioned by ShadyJ wrt need for lower crossover in the nearfield Btw some of the options mentioned above (ascends, HVL) would be difficult to procure for me...

JBL LSR6325P also looks interesting
