Moderators Youthman Posted March 21, 2015 Moderators Share Posted March 21, 2015 (edited) My daughters wanted to rent Divergent last night. I wasn't planning on watching it with them but figured I would watch the first few minutes of it. Needless to say, I watched the entire movie. I really enjoyed it. Unfortunately it was late and my wife was already asleep so we didn't have it loud and the subs were off. Guess I'll have to watch it again when she's gone so I can fire up the Dual RSW-15's and the RSW-12 that I picked up. I'm REALLY enjoying the new Panasonic AE8000u. I still need to take the time to calibrate the colors but out of the box, it looks great and is much brighter than my previous 3000u.

derrickdj1 Posted March 21, 2015 Share Posted March 21, 2015 The kids love these movies that were originally book they read somewhere along the way. I also enjoyed the movie. This one is a good one for girls. The main character is mild mannered young lady who becomes a hero for freedom. Michael, I love the look of the room! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bet that little guy runs out of steam quick out in the middle of the room like that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Youthman Posted March 21, 2015 Author Moderators Share Posted March 21, 2015 Thanks Derrick. Scrappy, the RSW-12 isn't hooked up yet. Lol. I want to put it to the side of my chairs to see if it makes a difference at all. Will be against one wall. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Youthman Posted March 21, 2015 Author Moderators Share Posted March 21, 2015 If you look at the photo, I want to put it to the left of the front row at the bottom of the riser step. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will be against one wall. I think it will make a noticeable difference. I referenced this in your other thread: Michael, As I have mentioned before, my buddy Jon runs a full RF-7 rig with only a TX-NR5007 with a single RSW15 in his 18 x 25 theater room and it lacks nothing in the sound department. Action movie tracks sound as good as any setup I have ever heard. Dynamics are as free wheeling as can be and the single RSW15 with a somewhat unique placement(tucked in a horn-like corner next to and below the seating riser) extends(audibly) noticeably below the subs spec'd -3dB+/-@19Hz. If the Onkyo has an easy time with his RF-7's/RC-7, I am sure it will not even break a sweat with your LaScala trio.

derrickdj1 Posted March 21, 2015 Share Posted March 21, 2015 Within 2 ft. of the front role, the sub will be in the nearfield. It may not add to the over spl in the room with the larger sub but, it will provide more tactile sensation which is the goal. Particle velocity will come into play for tactile sensation. In the nearfield the PV is out of phase and allows more tactile feel without jacking up the spl. I think that room should be plenty loud, lol. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Youthman Posted March 21, 2015 Author Moderators Share Posted March 21, 2015 What did you say Derrick? I Guess I'm getting hard of hearing. Lol. Are you saying to switch the phase on the RSW12? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
willland Posted March 21, 2015 Share Posted March 21, 2015 (edited) Are you saying to switch the phase on the RSW12? Trial an error. Next to seating position you may get more SPL with it set higher than 0 degrees. Bill Edited March 21, 2015 by willland Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
derrickdj1 Posted March 21, 2015 Share Posted March 21, 2015 (edited) Your plan is a go! Just level match all the subs at the MLP. This will kept the nearfield sub from being localized. To loud of a nearfield sub will cause dialogue problems. Edited March 21, 2015 by derrickdj1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

derrickdj1 Posted March 22, 2015 Share Posted March 22, 2015 Youthman, a better way to think about what I said is the nearfied is the driver working hard. This is where PV comes into play. In the farfield subs, spl is the driver working hard+ room+tranfer function of room and equipment. I hope this explanation is a little clearer.

Moderators Youthman Posted March 22, 2015 Author Moderators Share Posted March 22, 2015 Wow Randy, thank you for the kind words. It has definitely been a work in progress and once wakejunkie has recovered from his 3 strokes, he will resume building my new front wall with a 150" Acoustic Transparent Screen. Take a look at the LaScala Trio Build Thread in my signature to see renderings of the new screen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
agile1966 Posted March 23, 2015 Share Posted March 23, 2015 (edited) I have a feeling some might be intimidated by the three LaScalas that close to the front row. I would be calling front row every time. Kind of like sitting in the front seat of a roller coaster!!

mustang guy Posted March 23, 2015 Share Posted March 23, 2015 Beautiful theater. If I ever get to Plant City, I will bring a BluRay and a six pack. With dual RSW-15's in your theater I wonder what seat shakers would be like? You might not care about a 3rd sub. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would be calling front row every time. Kind of like sitting in the front seat of a roller coaster!! There are definitely lots of smiling going on in the front row. Beautiful theater. Thanks man. If I ever get to Plant City, I will bring a BluRay and a six pack. I don't drink so a single coke is enough....don't want my kidney stones acting up ya know. With dual RSW-15's in your theater I wonder what seat shakers would be like? You might not care about a 3rd sub. Yeah, not sure. Funny thing is I definitely don't "need" more bass but after hearing wakejunkies's dual 18" IB subs, my goodness that's a pretty exciting experience. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NBPK402 Posted March 23, 2015 Share Posted March 23, 2015 I have been lucky... I have not had Kidney Stones for about 5 years now. I had them about 4 or 5 times over a previous period of 10 years though. One remedy I tried (which actually tasted good) was to make a tea out of the corn hair (not sure what the correct term is).

agile1966 Posted March 23, 2015 Share Posted March 23, 2015 (edited) My daughter had kidney stones at an early age (16). Her doctor advised light on the caffeine and drink lemonade is thought to help prevent stones. Edited March 23, 2015 by agile1966 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Superdave Posted March 23, 2015 Share Posted March 23, 2015 I've had these darn stones, what a pain! My remedy was to drink at least 3 beers rather quickly and perform the "bump" method to use the liquid and gravity as a tool to force the stone to the bladder. Once it's in the bladder, it's not bad at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
derrickdj1 Posted March 23, 2015 Share Posted March 23, 2015 With dual RSW-15's in your theater I wonder what seat shakers would be like? Shakers would be fun. They add tactile sensation that you would need 4 or 5 extra subs to match. They are inexpensive from Parts Express. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
