My new CHT15-R!

re: master and commander ... I dont have that DVD ... but I do have the DTS demo with master and commander, is that the same scene you are talking about?

its time to watch all my DVD's again

If it's the first ship battle he's talking about then yes that's the one on the demo.......IIRC.

to answer your question "will the 12 beat the 15?" If extension is what you are asking about--yes. The ep500 recently tested very favorably to the SVS Ultra--pretty good company. The velo will have more output above 25-30hz though. The extension of the ep500 will be much better than the bigger 15". It will also be cleaner below 30hz. I would also bet it is a touch tighter/cleaner sounding with music. The velo is quite a deal for the price though--a real spl/dollar killer--just a tad lacking in extension.

Mike,
That looks like a pretty nice setup!!

And yes... I was thinking the same thing too about the room brightness. You might want to hang some drapes, toss a few absorbers on the walls, floor rug...etc, etc..... to tone those echoes down. I'll bet you get a nice echo when you clap your hands or make a loud noise.

Yep, that's the scene. The demo disc is missing a small portion of that scene though, but some of the key points are there.

will watch the dts demo disk then

yes the clap test right now is horrible.

 

[mike c]

if you guys are talking about room brightness ... does that affect my bass? because I have no complaints about the sound from the speakers themselves. only the sub.

 

[Buckeyefan 1]

Absolutely. Hard walls and hard floors will give the effect of a church hall. The louder the bass, the more echo effect.

 

[mike c]

driver excursion is minimal ... perhaps I should increase volume.

I was saying to myself: "where's the friggin amp!?"
I forgot that this was a class D amp.

this also has a crap load of matting inside
