Here is a plot of an in-room measurement of my system in the front row using no smoothing. My RBH subs are tuned at 18Hz and my Velodyne's are sealed. AS you can see b/c of room gain, my -3dB point is 12Hz. I can put out over 110dB at my listening position for around 15Hz but it starts...

A Note about Slopes and F3 Also watch out for subs that place a brickwall filter below its f3 point. This will negate any room gain below that frequency and can typically cause the sub to ring. I'd much rather have a sub flat to 25Hz with a gradual 12dB/Oct rolloff below that than a sub flat...

There is no good reason to make a sub flat down to 12Hz other than marketing. Making a sub flat to 20Hz at meaningful output will have plenty of room gain to play bass below those frequencies if ever called upon to do so. There is virtually no program material that goes much below 20Hz and the...

TLS assessment is pretty dead on. Once you stuff that many drivers into a small enclosure your efficiency goes way down, especially at low frequencies. It's interesting that nobody, including Paradigm has conducted outdoor or true 4pi measurements of this product. Until that happens, we will...

I wonder did they measure it outdoors a 1 or 2 meter groundplane vs max SPL out, or do it at 2 feet in-room like Hometheaterhifi.com does???

Star Trek II - the Wrath of Khan To this day, I can still recite the every line of the movie ;) KHAN! KHAN!

I don't have the EP500 anymore sorry.

Lot's of whining today. Here is some cheese for your wine :rolleyes: These are Video reviews. They give you an overview of the product. We have found that 3-5 minute videos are the perfect amount of time to cover a product. Making the videos any longer means people lose interest. I also...

The driver topology of the EMP E55i's seem more similar to the Polk RTiA9s. http://www.polkaudio.com/homeaudio/rtia/index.php?s=rtia9

Also routing power cables orthogonal to line level cables if you can't keep them spaced apart will eliminate any ill effects. Honestly I've never had a problem routing power and line level cables in close proximity if quality double shielded interconnects such as the 1694A COAX you guys sell is...

One reason: 1. the builder of my home screwed up my carpet pad when they were fixing a flooring issue which left huge gaps that I kept tripping on when walking without shoes. 2. my room was a bit too dry so adding the wood flooring really opened things up a bit for stereo listening. I feel...

Here are some preliminary pics after I installed the new laminate fllooring in my theater room and replaced my DD15s with DD15+'s (review forthcoming). So far I am liking what I am hearing but I'm contemplating adding some ceiling absorption over the right front side of the room by the...

This is something we are working on that will encompass even more than that!

Guys lets try to be more friendly here. We all share a common hobby and passion for audio. Don't make me get my red market out as when I hit negative reputation it hurts a lot more than just a forum member doing it :eek:

There will be but its made by the same company and costs 3-4X more :eek:

I know the feeling as I am getting ready to sell these gems: http://www.audioholics.com/reviews/speakers/floorstanding/rbh-t-30lse But they will be replaced by a new flagship model from the same company so I am not sweating it too much. I'm not familiar with any of these but please send...

Sorry guys these subs are sold now. :( If you wait another 5-6 years I will likely be selling my new DD15+'s for a great deal LOL.

Kurt; Nice speakers. I am a big fan of the old Genesis stuff. You put up a great detailed ad here. I need you to construct one for me to sell some of my stuff ;) Good luck to you.
