I beg to differ. Even at below driving amplifiers to their limits, amplifiers can and do perform differently and it does translate to sound differences to. We've run many fun experiments in the past here using a Panasonic Class D receiver and a Marantz linear amp and at low power levels people...

Yes and an OPPO BDP-105 as well.

nope the Boston Acoustics line is a very good one and prettier than the Pioneers.

An amp with more headroom can and does improve the fidelity of sound, especially when driving music at louder listening levels. Of course if you're of the opinion that all amps sound the same, then by all means get the cheapest A/V receiver that has the features you need and use that.

This is a prime example of offering poor advice not based on any personal experience with the equipment in the recommended list. It's easy to sit behind a chair and criticize but it takes far more effort to integrate and test systems which in this case is exactly what we've done. The Pioneer...

Yes agreed but I believe its more than a simple THD sweep can reveal. When you hear how effortless brass instruments sound on this speaker at any listening level, its quite amazing. How the speaker loads sound into the room b/c of so much cone area has something to do with it as well.

Sadly lately I haven't listened to them at all. I've been slammed with work and holiday preparations. I spent more time this week listening to the Pioneer speakers which isn't such a bad thing at all ;)

If you're a web designer, they are looking for one. PM me and you may be able to work something out, though I doubt it will be for a pair of 8Ts :)

Nothing says I love you to your spouse better than a new... projector :) Projectors For Sale : Buy a Projector at VisualApex

no doubt, their website is severely lacking. The Status product isn't something you'd want to order online anyways. It's the type of product you would want to speak to the designer so he can build your pair to meet your specific requirements and possibly fly out to help you setup.

LOL The Buy now Link is there but for some reason its showing up on the right side below the image, at least on my display. here is the direct link to place your order :cool: Status Acoustics 8T Tower

I met you in the middle and re-wrote as follows: I torture-tested these subs by running them as the left/right main channels fullrange while directing bass to them from the LFE channel and ALL channels (center + surrounds) set to "small".

Yes. Does this clear it up? I torture-tested these subs by running the main channels fullrange and directing bass from LFE + ALL channels (center + surrounds) set to "small" back to the main channels.

actually all speakers except the main channels were set to "small" so the bass was redirected to the main channels. Let me try to clarify that. thanks.

no doubt but I do live in fear that the second story of my home may one day collapse due to all the weight of the home theater equipment and my riser platform. There have been a lot of sinkholes in my neighborhood :eek:

Good catch. I meant 5dB total. I will correct now. thanks.

Yes I sold my T30s to a gentleman that came all the way from Canada to pick them up. My wife gave me the green light so I took the plunge and although it was a big purchase, the smile we each get on our faces listening to music at night with a glass of wine is well worth the admission price :)

Yes it's quantifiable by me measuring 115dB output in bass and running out of amplifier power before the drivers or ports lost output. Yes its quantifiable that my in-room distortion measurement was below the noisefloor of my room at 95dB almost 15 feet away from the speakers. Yes its...

It took RBH a decade to make this product. Getting the cabinetry and especially that bracket done was no easy task. Getting the engineering resources to invest in this project for such a small company again was no easy task. A company like Harman could surely build a product like this to...

They were thinking about coming out with an EMP version of this speaker for a much lower cost. Who is interested? I think you should all start sending emails to them now :)
