    Pros & Cons of Various Center Channel Designs

    That's for left/right stereo pairs. Lateral reflections for a center speaker are not as critical. See: http://www.audioholics.com/loudspeaker-design/center-channel-speaker

    Pros & Cons of Various Center Channel Designs

    I'm mostly talking about vertical MTM'S BUT used horizontally with a listener more than 25-30 deg off-axis a W(T/M)W is a much better choice.

    Pros & Cons of Various Center Channel Designs

    Some of the best speakers I've ever heard have been MTM's. Dual mids offer more dynamic range and efficiency than a single mid. Narrow vertical dispersion is a good thing for controlling unwanted reflections. If executed right, they are a special breed of speaker. Don't just go by theory...

    If one cannot understand the difference between weather and climate then there is little chance for them to understand anthropological climate change.

    I never advocated getting off fossil fuels and until electric cars are truly viable, yes they are necessary.

    Hurricanes

    Wow that's a really dumb argument. We aren't talking about linear progressions of change. Human activity has caused exponential increases in CO2 emissions and we have accurate records of this dating backs 10s of thousands of years in ice sheets. It always amazes me how people embrace science...

    Nobody is saying we can reverse it. I honestly don't think we can. People are too dependent on fossil fuels and even if we shut down all C02 emissions tomorrow, its still built up in the atmosphere already. The best we can do now is have tighter regulations on how and where to build, protect...

    Hurricanes

    The frequency of hurricanes doesn't increase with anthropological climate change, just the intensity and size of the storms. Compare the size of Hurricane Andrew to Irma and you get a better understanding. Warmer oceans, more kinentic energy, it's really not rocket science, nor controversial...

    Hurricanes

    We can't stop weather but our actions are causing more dangerous weather patterns. One would hope these recent hurricanes would unite our country into converting to clean energy and more stringent building zoning away from coastal/flood areas, but in all likelihood, it will be business as usual...

    Hurricanes

    Everyone came to my house to evacuate b/c a lot of my family live near the water. We may be going to a shelter tomorrow. I have to admit, I underestimated the path of this storm. It's quiet baffling.

    Climate Change = Chinese Hoax That hoax is about to wreck havoc on my home theater room which is on the 2nd floor. As you know most homes in Florida are woodframe on the 2nd story. :/ I just hope nobody gets hit by a 350lb airborne Status 8T if poop goes down.
