i'm a man. a grown-up man. and as such, i never cry. ever !. period.
but ... after receiving
EMP Tek E55Ti (mains)
EMP Tek E56Ci (center)
EMP Tek E5Bi (surround)
Rythmik FV12 (subwoofer)
and calibrating them ...
and playing ... at reference level ...
the first 20 minutes of ...
"Saving Private Ryan" ...
i have to admit, i shed a tear
i'm deeply grateful to GranteedEV and gene, for their input on speaker selection.
Articles such as
EMP E55Ti Tower / E56Ci Center / E55WI Surround & ES1010i Subwoofer Review
and
$6,500 Recommended Home Theater System - Great Looks & Performance
are just awesome.
Man, i'm currently basically running a $6.5K Audioholics recommended system !!!! wohooooo!!!
i need to dig deeper into the FV12's settings ... i'm not sure if it's capable of more in my environment (currently running it at 0 phase delay, 80hz crossover, nominal level, bass extension freq 20, bass extension freq mid)
i'm letting my denon 3312ci do bass management, i kind of manually calibrated my system (had a previous audissey setup and picked it up from there).
one more thing i have to say ... as big as the E55Ti's and the FV12 are .. .the E56Ci is .. HUGE !!! man !!!!!
once again, thanks GranteedEV and gene !
i will eventually get another sub and i'm pretty sure that some 15k mains and other such gear will blow my setup out of the water .... but i'm currently a VERY happy camper.
Best.
