I don't doubt that these M&K subwoofers are excellent, however how do you possibly justify spending $9000 on dual M&K X10+ subwoofers when for the same price you could implement 6 Monoprice Monolith 15 THX subwoofers double stacked in three ideal locations throughout your room! 1. Utilizing...

James WOW, such a thorough review as usual. Very much appreciate all the effort you put into this and the many detailed explanations and points made. Thanks!

Any idea as to the power handling? Are we talking say 100 watts continuous, or a bit higher still? How about Peak? Would you say 200 watts peak? Maybe 300 watts absolute peak? -OR- Maybe you can answer it this way... in your review when you stated that they were able to play Loud, did you...

Hmmm, I stand corrected... for it looks like Monoprice has 'already' addressed THX In-Wall speakers that could be used as Atmos ceiling height channel speakers - Monolith THX-365IW THX Ultra Certified 3-Way In-Wall Speaker, as well as the THX-LCR, and then the little brother THX-265IW. All of...

Yes, I would hope that McIntosh would know better / would have insured that comb-filtering was addressed (especially given the $6000 price tag). Tekton Design has also addressed comb-filtering despite its unorthodox speaker designs, so here too an interesting center speaker - Tekton Design...

Here's another very interesting and effective center speaker specifically designed down to only 80 hz (just as we are discussing here) - McIntosh XCS200 Center Channel Loudspeaker delivers extraordinary sound quality, enormous acoustic output and 600 Watt power-handling. With a frequency...

Sorry, not Bass drivers but merely a 2nd set of mid-range drivers. So no different than the THX-460T which is using 4 mid-range drivers and no Bass drivers. So if quad mid-range drivers are done correctly, then just fine it can be. Not done correctly and then of course a mess it could quickly...

Yes I agree, both the Bookshelf (THX-365T) and Towers (THX-460T / THX-465T) appear to be an outstanding Performance/Cost ratio..., and given that most people now-a-days run 1 or more Subs, your money goes into these speakers where it COUNTS, and not into speakers 'trying' to play Lower and with...

James Larson stated the following on Sept 10 regarding the Monoprice Monolith THX-460T - "We will try to catch a demo of these at the CEDIA 2019 show this week to give some listening impressions. Otherwise, expect us to do a full detailed review next year." Not that we should hold them (anyone)...

I didn't miss anything, but Thank you for sharing having thought that I may have. Chris, as usual, speaks to the capabilities of Audyssey and not what is implemented by most manufacturers, and that is Audyssey processing at 48 kHz for all channels and all frequencies (i.e. down-sampled). So as...

Hmmm, that doesn't at all answer my question. No mention of any preamp processors running Audyssey at 96 kHz (or higher) that I can see at that LINK. I know that Audyssey will run at 96 kHz (or higher), however from what I can tell no manufacturer has yet to do so.

Question: Does anyone know of a single preamp processor currently running Audyssey MultEQ XT32 at 96 kHz (or higher)? I don't seem to be able to find any that do. I was hoping to ask a few questions to those who have already used a preamp processor running Audyssey at 96 kHz (or higher)...

Well, first I stated that 'most rooms could use 3 Subs in order to get the Bass just right' (and so not all). 2nd I stated $1000 for BOTH the 3rd Sub -and- EQ'ng running on all channels at 96 (or higher), so in other words $500 a piece (and therefore much harder to do each for less than that...

As you say, we really have to wait to see if Emotiva delivers, however assuming that they do... then for me the 3 independently controlled Subwoofers and the Dirac Live at 192 kHz alone is worth $1,000 bucks! For I personally value getting the Bass just right, as well I have heard the ill...

No they wouldn't :) They could, but unlike you state, they wouldn't "need to", and instead they could have simply sold it for a small additional cost (Yes 'small' given that we are already close to 5G's). However Yes, manufacturers must decide on a Price point and then march to that. Not an...

It isn't necessarily if something is important or not, but first and foremost if something is discernible or not. Many simply do not have the equipment (or ears) to discern any differences, and therefore by all means not needed. I happen to have the equipment (and apparently the ears) to hear...

I just received confirmation from Marantz that the new Top of the Line AV8805 at over $4000 dollars! ($4,500 to be exact) will still only come with Audyssey running at 48 kHz. Oh contraire (Where's that comment coming from? Do you get Kick-backs from Marantz or what?), Marantz has NOT made the...

So does anyone know if the new Top of the Line Marantz AV8805 is still processing Audyssey at 48 kHz? I see that Emotiva took the route of Dirac at 192 kHz!

Hmmm, interesting... and as I mentioned above I will crossing-over my GoldenEar Triton Reference to whatever Subwoofer at 40 hz, just as I have my Legacy Audio Focus before them (room placement and all taken into account). So it is only for Movies that any dual Subwoofer setup I decide on will...

Before my very light and easy to move around 120 lbs each GoldenEar Triton Reference speakers, I owned 185 lbs each Legacy Audio Focus speakers, so I am used to dealing with weight and have no problems doing so... and therefore size and weight simply do not factor in for me, but Thank you.
