boa12 Posted June 15, 2002 Share Posted June 15, 2002 hello mm. talked w/ their tech support about 3 wks ago & still nothing yet. still think the dvd-audio digital connect standard is the bottleneck. & yea that PLII &/or dts:neo is what i'm really looking forward too. hoping for bass mgmt improvement as in high pass settings for each speaker or speaker group too. ------------------ My Home Systems Page Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marathon Man Posted June 15, 2002 Author Share Posted June 15, 2002 Sounds good. Thanks. BTW I decided not to migrate to differnt subs. I traded the RSW-12 for another RSW-15 so the two 15's really energize the room, and I am quite happy now. I also am adding wall treatments (expensive), but well worth the money. I have done 2 seating positions for 3 speakers which is about 45 diffusers, and I have 4 other positions to do. So far im impressed with the results. Till next time. ------------------ MM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boa12 Posted June 15, 2002 Share Posted June 15, 2002 mm, excellent. did u put the 2 rsw together or apart in your room for best results? & room treatment sounds like an excellent idea for me too. my back wall is all mirrors. talk about reflective. but unfortunately i've never been much for interior work. ------------------ My Home Systems Page Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marathon Man Posted June 15, 2002 Author Share Posted June 15, 2002 Well Im still playing with different positions. I had the original 15 in the front right which is where I get the best spl, and the 12 was in the rear left. this worked out good for that combo, because the 15 over powered the 12 to the point that I had to have the 12 closer to the listening position to get the desired effect. Now that the second 15 is in place its to pronounced when its that close so I moved it to the front left and that seems to balance out the sound stage rather nicely. I am however thinking about stacking them, because I get much better response from the front right front corner of the room, but I think I am going to wait until I finish installing the deffusers and re-meter the room to find the best position. I did some very basic spl tests using the B&K's low freq test tones and Im pushing about 110 db at 20 Hz with both subs now as opposed to a bit less than 95 db with one sub. This test was however done with a rat shack spl meter which as you know is not that reliable below 30 Hz, so Im thinking that the response is even better than the meter is telling me. My good spl meter has mysteriously disapeared . Im sure I just left it someplace and wher ever that is it has not been discovered yet. At any rate the two RSW-15's really energize the room, and the sound is incredible. I will try to get some pics posted as soon as the room treatments are done. ------------------ MM This message has been edited by Marathon Man on 06-15-2002 at 10:16 PM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boa12 Posted June 16, 2002 Share Posted June 16, 2002 mm, sounds great. my ideal place for sub is RF corner of room too. unfortunately that's where the front door is. thinking of sealing off the front door & just using the back door. just kiddin. ------------------ My Home Systems Page Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marathon Man Posted June 16, 2002 Author Share Posted June 16, 2002 strange how that right front corner seems to always sound the best hu... Yeah seal off the front door, and I guarantee you that is going to get you a WAF of zero. ------------------ MM This message has been edited by Marathon Man on 06-16-2002 at 07:39 PM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
