Nismo Posted May 22, 2015 Posted May 22, 2015 Congrats on the new setup. With the new gear should make a great experience. Also, I just noticed the triangle ports from your pic. Nice! This summer I plan to have the good Dr. write me a prescription for 15H MK2. Quote
gadgtfreek Posted May 22, 2015 Author Posted May 22, 2015 Nice! The new VTF15 Mark 2 really up'd their game. I like the triangle ports, look cool. Quote
MORE KLIPSCH PLEASE Posted May 23, 2015 Posted May 23, 2015 Looks super nice.....I bet it sounds super good..... MKP :-) 1 Quote
gadgtfreek Posted May 28, 2015 Author Posted May 28, 2015 My next target almost has life... http://www.powersoundaudio.com/products/v3600i Quote
gadgtfreek Posted May 29, 2015 Author Posted May 29, 2015 1)Dual 18" drivers, 1700 watts of ICE power, large slot port. The V3600 looks much like the XV30Fse except a little larger( 20"x 24"x45" W x D x H) with the slot port on the bottom(front) of the enclosure. Large traditional (removable) grill over the entire front baffle. The amp will have our typical controls---Gain, Crossover, Time delay and Room Size. Although if you intend to put the V3600 in a "small room"...we may need to talk..wink emoticon 2)The FR is similar to the V1500. (see graph at bottom) 3)Output is almost double the XV30Fse from 15hz to 125hz. The differences range from 4.9dB to 6.7dB. Average from 16-100hz is 5.8dB more for the V3600. You can see the XV30Fse output here. http://www.data-bass.com/data?page=system&id=106 V3600 output. (CEA-2010 averaged) 16-25hz ~ 122.331-50hz ~ 132.363-100hz ~ 136.016-100hz ~ 131.8 4)Standard Black Satin finish. No plans for wood veneer options at this time. Traditional style grills only. Quote
gadgtfreek Posted May 31, 2015 Author Posted May 31, 2015 Well, after too much reading, I opted that my sub upgrade is going to be dual FV15HP's. First one is on order, second will be late next month. Already have a buyer for the first VTF15MK1. I just couldn't convince myself it was smart to move from duals back to a single, regardless of power, and in a budget of $3000 or less, there isn't an ID sub that bests the engineering and output (especially below 25hz) of the Ryhtmiks. Both will be matte black. http://www.rythmikaudio.com/FV15HP.html 1 Quote

But right now (for my needs) still leaning toward the VTF-15 MK2 from HSU. Quote
gadgtfreek Posted June 1, 2015 Author Posted June 1, 2015 Those two are very close in output, with the rythmik only having 1-2 db's mostly from 20-80hz. It does have a little more power at 16 and 12 still, but the redesigned driver and stronger amp hav really improved the MK2. Plus the FV15HP is about $350 more... I figure if re-doing my duals, might as well try another brand. 1 Quote
mxr dad Posted June 1, 2015 Posted June 1, 2015 I dont know enough about subs to intelligently debate them, but have you considered an IB system? Quote
Nismo Posted June 1, 2015 Posted June 1, 2015 I dont know enough about subs to intelligently debate them, but have you considered an IB system? No doubt an IB is a great approach to move some air with low distortion, but 2 completely different animals. Most Infinite systems require a custom wall, floor or ceiling install with many considerations for the baffle. Calculating free air volume/driver(s) ratios (10x Vas), displacement, venting, energy transfer & vibration to opposite rooms, Room EQ Planning for placement prior to construction/fabrication....etc. A free standing sub offers convenience & flexibility. Lots of good choices available to pair up with space & room size. 1 Quote
gadgtfreek Posted June 1, 2015 Author Posted June 1, 2015 I need the free standers right now. When we get ready to build i will have a dedicated HT room and the plan is to move both these into that and buy another sub for the new living room. Quote
mxr dad Posted June 1, 2015 Posted June 1, 2015 See? I told ya I didnt know enough to debate.......................... I got nothin! LOL. I'm sure those subs will be fine with that bad arse setup you have. Are you still listening to 2 channel as 2.0? Pure Direct? Quote
gadgtfreek Posted June 1, 2015 Author Posted June 1, 2015 Yes! Not sure if different subs will make a difference, but Rythmik designs their stub with music in mind first. I also go my Umik 1 in and downloaded REW. i am going to play with that Thursday. Quote

Just a long time avid enthusiast, who knows just enough to be dangerous (lol). I do have a "dedicated room" for HT.... but it's not a frame-up dedicated, custom HT build. I might even consider from Klipsch the R-115SW or try & locate an pair of older RSW15's. Quote

mxr dad Posted June 1, 2015 Posted June 1, 2015 On my Yammy, Direct picks up 2.1 but Pure Direct is 2.0 only. I was impressed by the base the 7ii have in Pure Direct, but I still like 2.1 better. Quote

Just curious how the FV15HP's will sound with music. Quote
meenoo5 Posted June 2, 2015 Posted June 2, 2015 i just bought some RF7iis and RC64 myself. i am in Pakistan, so the options werent many. so i bought USED RF7s @ $2750. i just noticed that they've gone to 20% off now. how much did you get yours for? do you think used is significantly worse than new? what happens to the audio of an old speaker?
