    Option advice for RSW-15 placement

    in Home Theater

    Posted

    Derrick, I understand what your explaining, thanks. The UMC-1 doesn't have a LPF, but I believe I can globally trim the subs frequencies through EmoQ (if it's working properly) I have the rt-10 dialed in pretty good now with very little localization in this room and the RB81's RC64 front. I'm hopig it stays that way and the RSW-15 will pick up and fill up the low end that the rt-10 struggles to get to.

    I think I'm explaining that right or have the right principles in mind.

    keep the sub with the best HF performance near the mains and run it with the xo all the way up.

    The second sub if needed can be xo at a lower point to help it not be localized. Even though the rule is to defeat the sub xo, at times, cascading filters of the sub with the avr can cleanup the sound and be a real plus.

    Let us know how everything sound.Big Smile Something tells me this should be a nice combination.

    Thanks Derrick, so if I this correct, with my UMC 1, I would set the UMC-1 with bass XO at 120, then set the RT-10d to 120 (or off) as it's the one at the front. Then set the RSW-15 to around 60 (or around there) to fill bottom in but not too loud as to localize it?

    I get it Friday when friend comes back to town and will certainly take pics and share my thoughts and possible questions.

    congrats on your new sub, 400 bucks, gimmme a break. your neigbors ain't gonna like it.

    what flavor, black or cherry

    Thanks, it was actually 450 when I tossed friend 50 bucks to do it.. No neighbours here living above a storefront and an 75 yr old deaf man under me in rear and no where near my living room. It is a Maple one. My buddy who picked it up is a an old cabinet maker and said he can reglue a peice of veneer that's slighly pulled off and use some sort of iron to remove 2 scratches on side.

    Steve,

    Congrats on the RSW15
    find. You will love it.My buddy has his RSW15 in the rear right corner
    just behind his second row of theater seats and it shakes not only the
    seat right next to the sub but all 8 seats. His theater is 18W x 24L x
    8H and this sub does pressurize the room. I think your RSW15 will
    complement your RT-10d very well.

    How is that Acurus 200FIVE treating you?

    Bill


    Bill, thats very encouraging to read, thanks! The Acurus is thumping right along smoothly. Replacing my RF-35's with RB-81's hasn't reduced anything really and the 81's are working great so far as L&R with the Acurus feeding them. I thought I'd miss out some midrange with just the 1 8" woofer, but I'm not hearing it.

    You RARELY see them below even $600 so $400
    is a steal bro! I'm pumped for you because I know how great this sub
    sounds. Here is a thought as well.....try swapping it with the RT-10d
    just to see how it performs in it's place. You might find yourself
    selling another speaker. Stick out tongue

    Don't forget Maple too? Big Smile

    I'm pumped as well [<:o)]

    I'd
    like to try swapping it ,but it wont work in my front as it's too big
    and wont allow my screen to pull down to where it needs to be unless I
    move my screen forward about 10 inches, which I think would be too
    awkward.

    Thanks TDK, that's good to hear too.

    Congrats on the great find. There's nothing wrong with having yourself in the rear corner

    Thanks Youthman! I couldn't resist and acted quickly to get it done. My buddy was right beside me when the seller responded to my response with phone number. He said he received a lot of email inquiries but I was first and he was very helpful to get it done.

    I can't wait to get it in here.

    If I put myself into the rear corner I'd have a ton of room for it....lol

    I hope it can work out back there though!

    Hey guys,

    I just acquired an excellent condition RSW-15 for I think cheap (400) and had a friend pick it up and I'll get it next friday, when he returns to town. In the meantime I'd like to get your consensus of what my options are to place it my apartment livingroom / ht set up. The room is 22L x 13W ft. I've included a pic of front wall, but did some measuring and appears I can't place it along there as it is to tall for my pull down screen. The only 2 options I see are beside my 2 channel set up, but that partially blocks my R Quartet and blocks even more the satelite, media player/blu ray shelf. Other option is in back left corner of room and 7 ft from front of sub to main sitting area. I cant put on leftside of screen as it would block the entrance to room if I pulled it out far enough to avoid the screen when down.

    If I were to be able to fit it in the front wall would it be ok to set my RB-81 on top of it?

    I think I'm specifically asking if putting in back of room would work and things I would need to look out for by doing that, or if there are other options I'm missing?

    I have the rt-10d and love it , but couldn't resist the urge to pick this rsw-15 up after reading your great reviews on this sub and testing it out. If it doesn't work, I can store it for when I move into a bigger place or flip it or the rt-10 to subsidize a rf-83 or 63 purchase if and when they come available up here in Canada.

    Thanks!

    I can't wait to go home and hook them up to my gear at home will have a review and pics later.

    Did you write this at the guys place you were so excited to tell the news??.....lol

    Congrats!...look into those Ti diapraghms after listening to them for awhile.....loved what they did for mine. New crossovers and mids are next here. I got mine for just a lil more and the upgrades are inexpensive to bring them to another level.

    Enjoy!

    I have Heresy II's and just sold some Quartets.

    I really like them both. You want deeper bass, get the Quartets. You want tighter bass, get the HII's. These are my experieces but the two pairs were used in different systems in different rooms.

    Bill

    I just did the opposite. I have Quartets and just sold my H II's .

    I agree with Bill and had mine on same system. I needed the sub for the H II's hooked up to MC250 in approx 20 x 13 room. With the Quartets, no sub needed and they thump the chest in same room. Once I replaced stock tweeters with Ti diaphragms, the high end smoothed out and extends just as well as the H II's is my impressions now after about 50 hrs in . Great speakers both, but I loves my quartets!

    Joker that is a very good Idea, I will keep that in mind when I move the flat screen down there. As for your Mc2505, if he is still in business I hear Terry DeWick does great work. I was going to send my MC2505 of to him, but ended up sending my H.H. Scott to Craig first. But when I called and talked to him he quoted me something around 300.00 for a recap. If you do buy any more older MC amps like that before spending the 1200.00 for one on ebay I would look at Terry's for sale first, he has listed around that price as well but at least you know they have been gone through and you know what you are getting. Sorry for the quick hi jack.

    I was referring to MechMans 2505 as he is local to me. Terry is still going strong, but crossing border with delicate equipment is a no go for me.

    I'm happy with my MC250 for time being and will jump at a local deal if it comes by.

    I am thinking of mounting my tv on the wall, a stand wouldn't work as I will have a Lascala for a center. But never thought of putting my Heresies on each side, and just mounting my H.H. Scott in the cabinet with all the home theater stuff. Run some speaker wire along with the rest and wah la.

    Mechman and Derrick thanks for the compliments, Its been a pleasure and learning experience from great guys like yourselves and others here. Ive learned so much here. The 81's up front are liking the power with the 200w the Acurus is giving them, but I'll follow Youthmans path like I've done since beginning and show patience until a set of 83's, 63's of 7's come around at a good price (patience grasshopper!).

    Mechman, if you're ever selling that 2505 in your profile, can you give me first crack at it if I haven't found one yet. I love my MC250 (needs a recap, any tech suggestions?) , but looking for a 2105 or 2505 if the right deal comes around.

    Duder, here's a shot of the Wall mount link I posted above. I measured it and it is in fact 2 feet (24 inches) extended out. That might work perfect as you can extend the TV to the front of the Lascala. I pull it out level with the 64 here and it looks great.

    joker, I like your setup. I always thought of having a drop down screen just for the fact of having a lcd behind it not another set of speakers for 2 channel setup, this gives me ideas.

    I'll take some pics when I'm home of the stand and the TV wall mount I replaced on the Sanus stand. It works great and extends my TV out about 2 feet closer to sitting area.

    Here is link to Sanus stand. I got it on CL for 100. Just removed the smalled glass shelf and placed my RC64 on middle one. All adjustible.

    Here is the Monoprice wall mount I have replaced the sanus one with to great results.

    Boredom bump............post those HT pics guys!

    I wasn't bored today. I made a trade today and swapped out my RF35's and a stock Mc C26 for a fully restored C28. I just moved the surround RB81's to L&R and had spare RB61's for back surround. The 81's are keeping up nicely until I find 63 or 83'. The Quartets are sounding a lot better lower and angled up slightly.The C28 is substantially fuller in sound being restored. Loving it for the last few hours re-arranging the set up.

    So i finally found a good deal on some old klipsch in great condition Big Smile

    I just scored black ones for same price and absolutely love them! Listen to them for a month and get a feel for the sound, then get Crites Ti diaphragms for the tweeters. Great upgrade for little money (approx 60 shipped) that really refines and extends the top end on these fantastically!. My next step will be redo the cross overs and Ti mids in time. They are keepers here.

    Here's link to Bobs page for them. they are bottom of page.

    Congrats and enjoy them !

    And that asking price is only 775$ dollars. That's a fantastic deal. Surely can try em out and if they aren't for you then re sell them.

    If I had the available cash handy it would be a no brainer to buy and test. Scrappy did you try the RC-64 btween them? If it works ok then I could hold out and wait for a 3rd one to pop up. You don't see these in canada as frequently as down in US, so it could take some time.

    I have the Acurus A200Five amp and 200 watss x 5 and it has plenty of power to spare, so the XPA-3 is not needed here.
