    • Its OK to not like a speaker, but his setup is ridiculous.  What speaker will sound good 3" from a side wall, especially one with a bass exit there, and he is complaining that they do not mesh together well.    The really funny thing is the multiple hour long videos.  Something isn't quite right based on this obsessive behavior.  Always weird to see this.
    • When you’re making a reply there’s a button with a paper clip next to it that says “Add files” and you can upload a picture after clicking on it.
    • I agree that a larger horn will work better than a smaller horn in a small room. But take that same larger horn and put it in a larger room and you'll get more of the performance that you paid for.    
    • REL makes good stuff. But they don't have the market cornered on great sounding and musical subs. I used to use high level inputs and they can work fine. Low level are just as good IMHO.
    • The smaller the room the larger the horn needed to control polars and keep reflections to a minmum. I am paraphrazing the designer here. That said I bet these speakers sound wonderful in a much larger room. Or outdoors even...would love to hear them someday.
    • I considered the options of MLV and commercial vinyl tile but ended up going with the butyl due to its mass with an easy and permanent installation. I did use Kilz oil-based primer inside so the butyl would have a nonporous surface to adhere to. From what I've read of MLV, it works best if hung with an air gap. I guess any mass would help and would be a good option. As for multi layers, the acoustic foam I used has a solid film on the adhesive side that does add to the layering. But, as you said, more layers are always better. It's a fun project and is a lot more work than I had anticipated. The end result is rewarding.   The last thing I will try is to add one piece the original foam, mounted loosely which will be curved from side to side and above the tweeter.  I know most say Klipsch speakers are bright but my experience with these is that the midrange was somewhat harsh and buried the tweeter. That harshness has been reeled in a great degree.   I'm hoping that by adding the foam above the tweeter will help even more. Plus, it will aid in reducing standing waves a little more. The better option may be to add 1/2" wool felt instead of the original foam across the upper sides and top, but trying to buy high grade F11 felt in small orders is not the most cost-effective option.   Thank you.

    • While we are on Subs...Any truth to all of the REL marketing how they are the fastest subs designed for home audio 2.1 vs home theater (using high level input)
    • That looks so sick but my wife is never going to let me add a bass bin that big to the living room. Maybe new Cornwall's it is 🤣
    • as bad as he bad mouthed these, I would think he would give them away for pennies on the dollar.
