Well I finally am Def Tech speaker free for the first time in 20 years and am full RSL speakers minus the sub which will come down the line. My 2 RSL CG23's arrived in perfect condition Friday and immediately moved the CG3's to surrounds and 3 CG23's for LCR. They are quite incredible speakers and at this price a complete and total steal. I ran Audyssey yesterday and that balanced everything out and fixed issues in the room. They quite dynamic speakers, its a very dynamic system. How they do what they do at this price is pretty awesome. The last thing I will add are 2 10s subs but that will be a bit down the line, 6 months or so. Those will replace 1 SVS PB1000.
Now the other part of this is condo/townhouse living with a home theater really sucks. We live in a townhouse with another townhouse to one side and condos on the other. I have never once heard anything from my neighbors and have never received a complaint, yet, knock on wood. But I'm constantly worried about annoying neighbors so I'm constantly up and down with the volume. I can never just set it and forget it. The sub is not up real high, in fact its kinda low which hurts the experience obviously. I was just at -20, and then a "loud" scene I dropped it to -25 which again sucks. Its like having a really nice sports car but only driving at pace car speed.
My buddy lives in a townhouse also, different complex, different town and he has a PSA system with giant PSA subs and bass shakers that shake the entire room and he gets away with it. He, as far as I know doesn't even take the neighbors into consideration.
Luckily we will be buying a house next August when our lease it up, renting at the moment.
