This is the system I am currently evaluating and drooling over :D

The point of my article is many peoples only exposure to audio is portable compression devices such as MP3 or XM. These devices are fine for convenience but shouldn't be peoples only exposure to quality sound.

You got that right. I messed up when I ordered my cables from Bluejeans and overcalculated their lengths so I could have plenty of slack when the rack pulls out. I was too lazy to send it all back and reorder so I used it as is. Also I wasn't aware until last EHX that Middle Atlantic...

It is impractical for me to A/B them directly, especially since my reference theater is on the second floor. Lugging this T2pSE system upstairs was quite a chore, especially since the cabinet is all one piece now. I am intimately familiar with the original T-2P system since it served as my...

Well now you let the cat out of the bag. I am in the process of reviewing these and all I can say is "WOW"! Thanks for the feedback.

4 subs is best in rectangular shaped rooms. 2 works almost as good, especially if you EQ them properly.

Oh Boy. The power supply in the amp steps up the amps rail voltages high enough to achieve the power into the loads you are specifying.

Most people are better off with headphones and forgetting about setting up a multi channel speaker system with bass managed subwoofers :D

I am not concerned about achieving up to 20kHz response as much as issues of beaming and off axis performance.

There is far more than "some" proof. The average user doesn't even setup 1 sub correctly. But most folks on these boards go beyond the "average" user. Thus if you wish to have beyond "average" performance, then using multiple subs is the way to go. It doesn't cost a fortune either...

Yes the truth is often broad especially when its backed by math, and modal analysis in small rooms not only by us but from the likes of Dr. Toole of Harman, HAA, THX and most professional installers :rolleyes: Not really but its usually a good idea to choose 2 subs with similar output...

Freeflap; Some comments for you: Great review. Thanks for your attention to detail. I love the excuse of inwalls costing more money :) Do NOT disable the 12" woofers of the 1266's. The top end of the speaker is crossed over above 100Hz. The side woofer is essential. It sounds to me...

I am very skeptical about this design as well. Boosting driver response to compensate for design inefficiencies is not a good thing to do IMO. I also never heard a mid woofer that can play highs as well as a dedicated dome tweeter. I won't even touch the bass issue with these 3" drivers :D...

2 subs are ALWAYS better than one sub, especially in small rooms. It's not about the added SPL as much as it is about superior modal control to achieve smoother bass response in a wider listening area. If budget is a concern go with the lower model and get 2 instead of one higher model unit...

I read parts of the article and I am confused. How does an amplifiers specification on WPC relate back to the actual load on the 120VAC branch circuit. Yes your calculations are correct though you can expect between 45% to 50% efficiency figures at max power. Amps and power supplies get...

Why do you need to run an amp at 1 ohm? There should be little reason for a loudspeakers impedance to dip much below 3 ohms if the crossover is properly designed. 15A is on the primary 120V side. You can of course achieve higher current on the secondary side once the transformer steps the...

Folks; Adhere to our simple forum rules clearly posted in this sticky thread: http://forums.audioholics.com/forums/showthread.php?t=21673 and everything will be just fine. Thanks.

Dan here is the response to your question directly from Mike from APC The PF strongly depends on a number of factors including the Diode Conduction Angle. The PF and Diode Conduction Angle are affected by: AC Voltage Waveshape (Voltage on the Primary) Governed by: Impedance of the...

Anyone wanna spend even more on an esoteric processor that doesn't even support HDMI :confused:

I wonder if you also had/have a productive career as a Professional Whistler?
