OSU and Maryland was a thriller. Maryland is a very good football team. Go Bucks!

I read the article and 1 thing strikes me as funny. The claim is super neutral ? The reviewer claims he is comparing the amp to others he has had with music he is accustomed to. It is BS to call the amp neutral as compared to A or B you can only call anything neutral if you were present at the master recording session and are comparing the product to that. But of course that brings up another whole pot of beans Musical Memory and all...............At 9-14K, The amp better be cooking breakfast every morning. Cost more than my whole system and I would bet it just sounds DIFFERENT when all is said and done, not necessarily better.
You are correct, Sir!

Who is feeling this way today with another great crash? The last few crashes are due to US policy related to the US policy. Are you willing to take a big hit on current policy? A simple yes or no is all that is need. The crash will set you back 2 or 3 years. Wait, we got a tax cut, I call BS on all the help from the tax cuts. and would gladly give it up.

There is already a fix. Give us more info on the room and gear. Some problems can be fixed by just a small rug or shifting furniture.

Your source of music is ok, you have a reverb and standing wave problems. T!he gear is fine, the room is not!

Now, OSU will play the spoiler after loosing to Purdue. Michigan needs to win out to get into the top 4. I'm predicting OSU will drop to around number 12.

It's hard to loose a great player of his caliber but, the guy's behind him are 99% as good. OSU does not stop over one player: they just reload.. Go BUCKS!

This stuff can be dangerous and working right for one or two day is no guaranteed. Be careful, except I don't know how to tell you to do it.

Looks like the last game in the Big Ten will determine who will be in the final 4 for the National Championship. The Big Ten Champ at the end of the season will stand on it's own merit with little questionable controversy.

Come on gent's. There are many amps that will sound just as good as these amps and save a few coins. The real question is how much should we pay for an amp paire to our horn speakers. It will vary by person but, the SQ will be fairly close to something 1/2 the price.

Don't fix it: there are to may newer tube amps on the market.

Probably not a lot of grey area with Guy Richie's take on this one. It actually bombed at the box office & most are either gonna love it or hate it. Fortunately I enjoy Guy Richie's distinct point of view.
No opinion on this one, everyone fell asleep 30 min. into the movie.

two R-115SW's will run all over a single SB-16 at 20 hz. SVS is usually more reliable and for music it will be tighter and more accurate though. Pros and cons of each.
I want to say what Metro said!!!

I should of define what a MBM (Mid Bass Module) is and who needs them. A mid bass module will cover the frequency range of 50-250 Hz. Why add a MBM? For some small rooms, there will be a null in the frequency range of the MBM. This is not correctable by EQ which is mainly used to bring down peaks and raise small dips. MBM will provide more chest thump and club like music tactile response. YYMV with employing a MBM so, they are not meant for everyone and may or may not be a good addition to a HT or music system.
MBM are usually made with a 12 woofer. A subwoofer can be used but, cutting it off at 50 Hz is giving up a lot of what it was made to handle in HT. A MBM is placed different than most subs. These modules are commonly used nearfield with a delay to be in synch with the subwoofers. This is not a process done by ear and REW or Omni mic should be used or some other measuring system.
It should be noted that many systems with adequate subwooferage may lack the chest thump due to a lack of mid bass caused by SBIR(speaker boundary interference). This SBIR can cause large dips or suckouts in some rooms. This can cause destructive interference between direct and indirect sound waves in the room. So, it is possible to have high spl at the MLP and miss the chest thump. In an ideal world, one would place 4 subwoofers at the mid point on the 4 walls, followed by on sub in each of the 4 corners as a second choice. I can't overemphasize that a truly optimal HT will have subwoofer in the front and back of the room if the wall mid points are not available.
As a closing statement, we don't see many people on the forum complaining about the 8000 to 25 kHz range where there are few audible modal problems. I don't get caught up on which speaker is better or what avr I should buy because Klipsch has many offerings and there are an abundance of quality avrs. Proper setup is the key to making or breaking a system no matter what dollar amount has been spent. You can't buy quality sound without understanding what is going on in the room!!!

Those are some nice speakers, congrats on the purchase.

get a sub and not worry.

If you want some mid bass slam, swap your 18's for a pair of these.

I am not looking to adding more speaker but, I have a couple of free channels open on the I Nuke amps. I may consider adding a couple of MBM's since they can be run off one channel of the amp. Replacing the one UM 18 as become quite expensive compared to when I first purchase them for $ 278.00.

So to convert from subs to MBM's you merely changed the cut off frequencies? No driver changes? Normally MBM's employ woofers as opposed to subwoofer drivers.
MBM are normally constructed with a woofer and not a subwoofer. The main difference between a woofer and subwoofer is their frequency range. This was just a quick experiment that used my two closes subs. I just moved the hpf up to 50 Hz and the XO on the HT to 100 Hz. The goal of the experiment was to see if I would loose the tactile impact by setting the hpf to 50 Hz.
One of the things I noticed from testing on the ULF thread on the AVS forum, is that the UM 18's drop a bit in the 50-80 Hz range when running them for ULF. By changing the hpf to 50 Hz takes a tremendous load off the driver. There was no loss of tactile response and things felt pretty good.
Further experimentation will be needed before more than a subjective impression. This can be done with a smart phone.

I am in the Great Lake region where 1/5 of the worlds fresh water supply is. This is an are of water supply that has an international market. The rest of the world needs to emulate.

Long ago, there was no price, modern times as been misguided before and will repeat it's mistakes. When you deny people a chance to live free, war is the end result. war only determines a winner, not what is ultimately right!

To draw water off at certain points or put dams up is not right to deny the down stream folks water. This is an no brainer and if someone is thinking of a rational point, I bet they will have water. This country is going to hell with centered individuals.May Hades's come and bail us already out of the apparent hell that this nations seems to embrace.
Politic's aside, this country is not united and ready to be divided by another nation! Now ain't that a .........paradox?

I'm on my second move, Pacific Rim #2. With enough wooferage, I can't imagine anyone putting up a speaker vs a sub and claiming better sound! The second most important speaker in the HT setup is the subs, forget center channel and surround. This is where the impact comes form, not the mains. If you want good mains, switch to 2 ch. I'm running 5.5 rear surround and 6.5 SS and 8 in Atmos and hitting spl of 127 db. at 0 db on the avr sitting 18 ft. from the mains and the reference sub is 28 ft. from the main listening position. I wish I had a smaller upstairs room and not the basement.
I've now switch to some jazz. Iam running 2 watts for 97 db average running the Mains full without subs at 18 ft away. Wow, what is to be said about speaker efficiency. I am only doing these post because some forum members believe that an avr can't deliver in recent post. For those that want to refute the data, get another system that is not Klipsch!

These speakers work well as MBM. This is not even a big bass movie and it ' has great sound effects. In my 4600 cu ft. room, I only really need four power subs. I am going to play with adding MBM. I could have 4 MBM and 4 subs going to 14 Hz.. I have many possibilities because of the sub. If you are serious about HT, more subs mean much more than amps for the front 3 speakers!
