    Status Acoustics Titus 8T Floorstanding Speaker System Review

    no doubt, their website is severely lacking. The Status product isn't something you'd want to order online anyways. It's the type of product you would want to speak to the designer so he can build your pair to meet your specific requirements and possibly fly out to help you setup.

    Status Acoustics Titus 8T Floorstanding Speaker System Review

    I met you in the middle and re-wrote as follows: I torture-tested these subs by running them as the left/right main channels fullrange while directing bass to them from the LFE channel and ALL channels (center + surrounds) set to "small".

    Status Acoustics Titus 8T Floorstanding Speaker System Review

    Yes. Does this clear it up? I torture-tested these subs by running the main channels fullrange and directing bass from LFE + ALL channels (center + surrounds) set to "small" back to the main channels.

    Status Acoustics Titus 8T Floorstanding Speaker System Review

    actually all speakers except the main channels were set to "small" so the bass was redirected to the main channels. Let me try to clarify that. thanks.

    Status Acoustics Titus 8T Floorstanding Speaker System Review

    no doubt but I do live in fear that the second story of my home may one day collapse due to all the weight of the home theater equipment and my riser platform. There have been a lot of sinkholes in my neighborhood :eek:

    Status Acoustics Titus 8T Floorstanding Speaker System Review

    Yes I sold my T30s to a gentleman that came all the way from Canada to pick them up. My wife gave me the green light so I took the plunge and although it was a big purchase, the smile we each get on our faces listening to music at night with a glass of wine is well worth the admission price :)

    Status Acoustics Titus 8T Floorstanding Speaker System Review

    Yes it's quantifiable by me measuring 115dB output in bass and running out of amplifier power before the drivers or ports lost output. Yes its quantifiable that my in-room distortion measurement was below the noisefloor of my room at 95dB almost 15 feet away from the speakers. Yes its...

    Status Acoustics Titus 8T Floorstanding Speaker System Review

    It took RBH a decade to make this product. Getting the cabinetry and especially that bracket done was no easy task. Getting the engineering resources to invest in this project for such a small company again was no easy task. A company like Harman could surely build a product like this to...

    They were thinking about coming out with an EMP version of this speaker for a much lower cost. Who is interested? I think you should all start sending emails to them now :)

    Status Acoustics Titus 8T Floorstanding Speaker System Review

    Yes the 8T is a much more dynamic speaker but I've found even at moderate listening levels, having that much cone area in the midrange just makes brass instruments sound so lifelike and open. It's like a line array but without the typical source stretching they often suffer from. I...

    The Salon2 is a beautifully crafted excellent sounding speaker. You made a great choice and I wouldn't change it if I were you. Certainly you should NOT have any buyers remorse either.

    I'd take the Andrew Jones Pioneer towers (which incidentally I am reviewing right now) over the P363s.

    Status Acoustics Titus 8T Floorstanding Speaker System Review

    Its fine to discuss other product but I just don't want this turning into a "for $20k, 30k, $40k, you could have X, Y or Z instead or...... for $199/pr you could have a pair of P363s and add 2 Rythmik subs" :D

    Status Acoustics Titus 8T Floorstanding Speaker System Review

    Yes a single 4" mid doesn't have near the surface area of four 6.5" mids. -3dB at 23Hz at what output level? What is the slope of the rolloff below that? What is the Xmax of the KEf bass drivers, what is the box volume? Seriously please stick to the topic at hand on this thread which is of...

    Status Acoustics Titus 8T Floorstanding Speaker System Review

    you can't just compare surface cone area of bass drivers without knowing driver Xmax and enclosure volume and vent area.

    Status Acoustics Titus 8T Floorstanding Speaker System Review

    The Revel Salon2 is a great speaker but it's not in the same league as the Status 8T. The Revel like most speakers have the same limitation of a conventional 3 or 4-way systems using only 1 midrange driver. After hearing a well executed truncated line array or multiple mid MTM array like the...
