Part of that is true. Having all of the drivers on the front baffle looks more impressive. Side firing woofers can be tricky to place in a room. So there you go.

You can't just go by surface area alone, excursion must also be factored in else we could just use 100 1" tweeters to get the same bass output of a single 10" driver :)

Maybe the meaning of your message was lost in cyberspace but I fail to see how Mcintosh amps are more "realistic" in the power department. Last time I checked McIntosh also builds 2kwatt Monobloc amplifiers. McIntosh MC2KW Amplifier, 1 Channel 2000 Watts McIntosh MC2KW Amplifier You're not...

The XPR-1 can work just fine on a 15A line but it won't be able to deliver 2kwatts into a 4 ohm load hence why they ship it with a 20A power cable and recommend it to be used on a 20A line. I am running dual XPR-1's on a single dedicated 20A line and have NO issues AT ALL! Most people building...

I hear you but I was at the liberty of the builder when I was building my house and they use the local electrical codes to conform for 15 and 20A lines. They wouldn't let me change the power cable but I was able to use my own line level and speaker cables. I was still able to get over 2kwatt...

I'd love to do more amplifier reviews if I had locally qualified people to use our test gear and write an accurate test report. But we focus more on quality than quantity.

more like 64. He wants to run FULL ATMOS with all T2 speakers! :)

Pat Metheny Marillion King Crimson I listen to those channels most though the Algo is so predictable that I often have to delete stations and reload them to get more variety.

Unfortunately I don't have access to Atmos processing yet. I'm only trying to test the plausibiility of bouncing the sound off the ceiling. HPF = High Pass Filter from your receivers bass management. 200Hz is suggested b/c Atmos allegedly places a 180Hz HPF on Atmos speakers firing upward...

I didn't review the 6300s. I think David Waratuke did. I did get to hear the 8300/R at CEDIA twice. RBH actually configured the bass drivers as dedicated subs run to separate amps connected to the sub out of their processor. I was skeptical that those drivers could do the job in such a large...

Not available yet. I used simple discrete tones. <!--[if gte mso 9]><![endif]-->Tones are very difficult to localize b/c they lack transients like a real instrument or speech. We can't localize sustained formants, tones and harmonics very well. So I played some mono music through the speaker...

Nice set up but depending on the distance your sitting away from those speakers, you should consider spreading them further apart. It will really open up the sound.

Yes. Can anyone tell me why my experiment I just ran in attempts to localize the sound was flawed? Read carefully what I did.

Good points and adding an adjustable baffle makes it difficult to control Fs but since the driver is operating above 180Hz it may not be as big of an issue.

Guys just for fun I ran a little "Atmos" experiment while making some speaker measurements. I put a bookshelf speaker on a stand firing up at the ceiling and ran some sweep tones. What I found was even sitting far away from the speaker, it was localizable below 500Hz. Once I started getting...

Yea their website is prety weak unfortunately. I hope that changes after CEDIA to line up with their new exciting announcements.

I believe Thiel had a motorized in-ceiling speaker that would angle down when it use. I don't see why that couldn't be adopted for Atmos.
