3db Audioholic Slumlord Feb 11, 2019 #4 I bought my last upgrade to my system .... used PSB Subsonic 6 dual ported with a 12" driver to replace the PSB Subsonic 5 in my 2nd system. The Subsonic 5 replaces the Energy XS-8 8" sub in the bedroom. Pictures to follow in a couple of days.

3db Audioholic Slumlord Feb 19, 2019 #5 Completed by upgrade on this system. I swapped out the following; RX-V1500 AVR for an RX-V1900 for HDMI Sony SB-S360 BluRay for an Sony XP-800 4K player PSB Alpha mains for PSB 400 mains PSB 100c center channel for PSB 200c center channel PSB Subsonic 5 for a PSB Subsonic 6. The AVR, speaker, and subwoofer swaps were all done buying used.

3db Audioholic Slumlord Jul 17, 2019 #6 Updated pics of the great room with the new "used" PSB 500 as my mains
3db Audioholic Slumlord Jan 29, 2020 #8 I found some used speaker stands for my PSB 400 that worked in my setup so I swapped them in for the PSB 500 ( previous setup). Before doing that , I saved the YPAO configurations for the 500 in Memory 1 and 3 while Memory 2 and 4 have been setup for the PSB 400. That way I can swap the speakers in and out and rely on the AVR's memory settings instead of having to rerun YPAO again.

davidscott Audioholic Spartan Jan 29, 2020 #9 Still very nice setup - but improved! I bet that sounds sweet.
3db Audioholic Slumlord Apr 14, 2020 #10 I swapped the 400s out for the PSB 600 .. The PSB 600 are of the same sries age as the 400s but these look brand new.

3db Audioholic Slumlord Nov 24, 2020 #12 Swapped out the PSB 600 with the 800 each sporting dual 8" woofers. These speakers are seriously good speakers even to this day...

Much closer to how I enjoy it as opposed to man-cave style of basement home cinema. So sub is gone, right? And BTW, 3db, when did you stop believe love is forever?

The sub is behind the sofa in the corner... I didnt stop believing,,,,Its still there to the right of the right speaker.

eljr Audioholic General Nov 24, 2020 #15 nice set up but the room looks like the sound would bounce around all day

That sofa and the unseen oversized chair (can seat two in a pinch) and matching ottoman keep reflections well tamed. The speakers arent near any side walls. Even when playing loud (approaching 90db which I don't do unless I know the neighbours are out) , I detect no smearing of sound due to reflections at all. I thought the room would be very lively but its not all.

I tried, am trying to be nice but facts are facts. Peace brother Click to expand... You come across as some contrite ahole so stop your BS. I realize the room acoustics arent perfect but they are far from being a nightmare...matter of fact, very litte difference between my basement and this room. Your not here to listen to it so keep your uninformed opinion to yourself.
