Anyone like to comment on experiences with gain staging........how you did it......what equipment used......pros/cons etc? Thanks, -Scott.

Do you use a sub with your LaScala's? Let me rephrase.....Do you use a kick ass sub with your LaScala's? If so, I wouldn't think you're depriving yourself of some really impressive sound.

Thanx Daryl. Enjoy!!

[quote user="Rudy81"] I am leaning to at least trying the idea. How did you handle the crossover. I figure that using them both say from 40Hz down will not work well since they are not the same sub. The best idea would be to use an active crossover or something. How exactly did you cross them over? [/quote]When I had a Denon receiver with bass management I would disable the x-over on the subs and set the receiver's x-over to 40hz for movies and 60-80hz for music. It seemed to me that

Does your SVS sub have the option to block the port holes? Mine have this option and the PB-12 Ultra/2 when tuning the box to 16hz and setting the crossover to 40hz for movies..........LOOK OUT MAN......It could pressurize the room like you wouldn't believe!!

[quote user="Rudy81"] using both subs at the same time is going to create all sorts of problems....I am guessing[/quote] True....to some degree. Experimenting with different locations is the only way to find out what will work in your particular room. The reward is increased headroom, output and even coverage. This is coming from someone that does everything by ear and a lot of experimenting. The tools I've used in the past have never really worked for me because I always end up tweaking

[quote user="Rudy81"] The question is, how do you prevent the RSW from running below 40Hz?[/quote] In a perfect world, right? IMO a lot of this stuff with subwoofers we can't pick up with our ears anyway.....and as far as audio goes it seems that it's all about compromise. You gain something here....you lose something there. I noticed that the SVS tuned real deep is like a sleeping giant. It just hums along casually until something deep hits and then well.....it can freak you out

[quote user="Rudy81"]with one port blocked is that it does go down to 16Hz, but it also lowers the output at the higher frequencies[/quote] Yes.......that's what I did. Run your SVS with one port blocked tuned at 16hz with the crossover at 40hz for the deep stuff and run the RSW-15 crossed over at about 80-100hz for the mid-upper bass. It worked for me......very well in fact. If your able to fit them in the same spot it would be beneficial, most likely. BTW, my RSW's worked best

[quote user="Audible Nectar"] Those VRDs hooked up to a pair of RF-7s would sound REEEEEEEAL GOOOOOOOD [/quote]Yeah, I heard a forum members 7's with VRD's and the detail was outstanding.
