    The Perfect Solution for Home Theater Bass Optimization Here!

    I measured a good noise floor on the 2x4 and will publish test results in my formal review. I had no noise issues at all and I'm a stickler for that.

    The Perfect Solution for Home Theater Bass Optimization Here!

    Yes the UMM-6 is good for the price but I believe its only accurate down to 18Hz. I had Dayton send me one last week so I will test it and report back. Glad you're focusing on the bass via multi-sub rather than bouncing sound for Atmos. Good choice!

    The Perfect Solution for Home Theater Bass Optimization Here!

    Yes I was referring to the HD version of unbalanced unit which does have 2Vrms out. I wouldn't use a device that can't do 2Vrms for a sub channel. Sorry for the confusion. 7.5 ms of delay is a bit short but in my 26x27ft room, all I needed was 3ms relative to the other subs and it did the job...

    Fluance Signature Series Speakers Preview

    Don't mess with it man. I agree, let Fluance take care of you and don't void your warranty. They seem very serious about fixing this issue and looking to tighten up their QC in the future.

    Fluance Signature Series Speakers Preview

    Yea I was wondering if the polarity between the mid/tweet should actually be reversed but as you said if the dip isn't in the crossover region it probably doesn't matter. Still I'd be interested in at least trying it b/c curious minds want to know ;) BTW I checked my measurements again, the...

    Fluance Signature Series Speakers Preview

    Guys, anyone that has these speakers and a way to measure, I just thought it might be interesting to reverse the polarity of the tweeter after you've already reversed the polarity of the top terminals. When I reversed the polarity of the top terminals, it fixed the lower mid suckout but...

    How To Install an Immersive Surround Speaker Setup

    Weird, Theo did all the grunt work on this installation and article and now I think Beale Street may be out of business? I haven't been able to access their website for at least 2 days. In any event, I guess just apply the lessons learned in this article for any of your favorite in-wall...

    Unfair YouTube Strike Policy on Copyright Claims

    Agreed. Hopefully the word spreads and acts as a deterrent for him to continue with this. I haven't posted this on the homepage yet but if I have to, I will do so and even make a Newsletter about it. I'd again rather not waste peoples time with this nonsense.

    Unfair YouTube Strike Policy on Copyright Claims

    I got a response from YouTube! Ethan actually originally threatened to take legal action against me for using the image in question so we'll see how far he wants to take this. As I said before, I'm not one for dealing with frivolous lawsuits but I am prepared for a fight if he wants one.

    Unfair YouTube Strike Policy on Copyright Claims

    Thanks for your great and accurate assessment and support. Yes Ethan's gear choices are quite interesting. He has pretty much publicly stated on other forums that ALL DAC's sound the same and his $150 Pioneer receiver is every bit as good as expensive high end gear. He swore up and down by...

    Unfair YouTube Strike Policy on Copyright Claims

    This is NO Accident. It takes significant effort to file a complaint on Youtube to make this kind of accusation. He simply doesn't like us talking about multi-sub as an alternative to heavy bass trapping for sound reproduction systems in small rooms. He's been quite belligerent on AVS and his...

    Rectangle HT, Dual Subs, Best spots? (posted pics)

    Jamie; Beautiful room! It would really benefit you to get a cheap USB mic (Dayton Audio as example) and download REW to pull some in-room measurements to help find the best locations. Our Ebook diagrams are for guidelines only. Corner loading will give you better LF coupling and excite more...

    Fluance Signature Series Speakers Preview

    I haven't seen any proof that absolute phase matters. That said, you generally want to avoid too many phase changes of gain stages within a feedback loop for stability reasons. This article talks about this a bit: http://sound.westhost.com/ptd.htm and our article with Rod Elliot contributing...

    Fluance Signature Series Speakers Preview

    That is puzzling. It's hard to say what's going on without measurements but it really shouldn't make a difference if you wired both bass sections 180 out of phase. Maybe Dennis can check at his end if he still has the stock crossovers?
