Yes you got it and sorry if I'm bad at explaining it. A diagram would help but you got it now so I won't show off my feeble photoshop drawing skills :)

Don't get too hung up on phase coherent crossover jargon. A speaker that is "phase coherent" typically must employ a 1st order filter network which has disadvantages in poor vertical off-axis response and power handling. I'd much rather see a proper 2nd order network in place and/or a...

Yes remove the jumpers from the speakers. Hook your amp to the bottom terminals normal phase. The reverse the phase using a pair of wires as jumpers to connect the top set of terminals.

John; Not sure as I didn't try to remove the rings around the drivers nor did I take out the terminal cup in the back. Once I found this measurement problem I stopped my investigation. It's possible that the review units are from a different batch than yours and only our samples were affected...

Agreed about SG. Man I'm so bummed out about Arrow/Flash. I watched all 3 seasons of Arrow and season 1 of Flash on Netflix and now I have to wait till summer till the latest seasons get uploaded. I don't want to watch mid season of either series on FIOS so I'm left with a cliff hanger for...

I know what you mean. The acting is a bit weak, the storyline sometimes cheesy, but her positive upbeat attitude is addictive. I love the Flash but if you want something a little deeper, try Arrow or Daredevil. I'm hooked on Arrow, in mid 3rd season now. My name is Oliver Queen :)

The ELS system is good mostly b/c it plays DVD-A and DTS. I really miss playing my Procupine Tree DVD-A discs. However, the center channel sucks and the system didn't have quite enough bass. My biggest gripe with the TL isn't the somewhat noisy cabin or rattles, or FWD, torque-steer was...

I didn't take the drivers out and measure them individually as the front baffle has rings around them to hide the screws. I just didn't want to damage the speakers as I was thinking about giving away my review pair in an Audioholics contest. That said, the bass drivers are excellent. They...

Not likely since it's a high Q dip vs a broadband dip at 500hz in default wiring. I haven't actually listened to it reverse phase yet so that's why I suggested owners to try it.

If anyone owns the Fluance Signature speakers, please try reversing the leads for the Mid/Tweet section and let me know if you like the sound of the lower midrange after doing that. This is a band aid fix for what I've found but there is an overall better solution that I hope Fluance can make a...

I pulled some measurements and now think I have a good understanding of what is going on with the lower mids of this speaker. Emailing Fluance now hoping they can make some changes to improve. This is a bit tragic to me b/c this speaker does so many things right but they made a few glaring...

Good question and yes there can be. I just added a 5th sub to my room and did just that. With the sub firing at the wall it did help with integration at the crossover region and most importantly made it less localizable. I will include this in my write up.

I just published my HP-2 review.

I haven't heard the Ultra Towers but I did review their Ultra Bookshelf. No I don' think it's brighter than the Fluance but if you want a more laid back sound, I think the alternatives I listed may better suite your needs.

Given your tastes from what I am reading here, you need to pick a pair of speakers with a laid back sound signature. I don't get the Tekton design to be honest, so I won't comment other than saying its very unconventional. The SVS Ultra towers will certainly have good bass response but you may...

CNET absolutely hated my 07 Acura TL Type S. Meanwhile, the car drove solid, had great gas mileage, looked great, and I sold it for $10k less than I bought it for despite puting 75k miles on it in the 5+ years I owned it. It is now a classic in the Acura line up that is sought after since the...

Yes it is! You're absolutely right. These speakers handle that track better than anything I've heard in this price range.

Not sure but it's unusual to run a midrange only one octave like this. I sent Fluance an email to inquire as I don't want to assume anything. My measurements will also confirm if this is in fact the xover point they set.

In a great home theater, every part works together and you can't have any weak links. At CES 2016, we saw and heard a great total system featuring Waterfall Audio LCR 300 speakers and SUB 600 subwoofers, Seymour AV Ambient-Visionaire Black 132" Projection Screen, and Wolf Cinema SDC-15 Ultra 4K...
