    Impressions of the EMP Impressions Tower Speakers

    There is quite a substantial difference not just in output capabilities, but in dynamics and realism when you compare budget designs to cost no object products that are properly engineered. $1k/pr doesn't get you close to the law of diminishing returns.

    Impressions of the EMP Impressions Tower Speakers

    You have to be very careful with using multiple tweeters to avoid acoustical interference issues. I agree with you the EMP's could use a tad more energy in the top end. This can be accomplished by using a tweeter with higher sensitivity and power handling. That is a much better approach than...

    Can I go wrong with Axiom Audio M22'S

    A WTW design when properly executed is still a viable design and in some aspects has advantages over W(T/M)W designs. An MTM has significantly less off-axis lobing errors than a TWWWT design which isn't used by any other commercial manufacturer that I am aware of other than Axiom. However if...

    Can I go wrong with Axiom Audio M22'S

    This is a good reference for you when shopping between ID speaker brands. As you will find, some of the less expensive options on the list actually wind up being the most pricey when you factor in premium finish and parts upgrades.

    Final system question

    There are a lot of caveats to that. Have you ever heard of a consumer actually collecting on such a warranty? I haven't personally and I know many people whose equipment that was attached to a similar surge protector with warranty was fried and not covered.

    Need more Bass? Use "Extra Bass" feature in your AV Receiver.

    Great post! That is exactly what I am doing in my theater room. I run the Status 8Ts fullrange with no DSP or bass management. My processor is set to "no sub" so all of the summed bass + LFE goes to the front speakers. I then use the L/R preamp outs to connect to my Velodyne DD-15+ subs. I...
