babadono Posted April 25, 2016 Share Posted April 25, 2016 (edited) Met with fellow member DavidH to audition his awesome 5.1 HT on this past Saturday. David has K402s with K1132(?) drivers doing midrange duty on the L/R mains. This was my first experience with 402s. Wow. How accurate they sound and how wide the soundstage. David also has MWM clone bass bins(built just like DTEL'S I believe) on the L/R mains. Again wow, how effortless the bass sounded. We spent a good deal of our time together in 2.1(at my urging) so I could really take in the 402s and MWMs. The .1 was a Danley DTS 20, another wow, what a beast. Since it was all music(no movies) that things real potential was not completely demonstrated. David took some pictures of yours truly beside the Left main. I modeled my 70th Anniversary T. David's pix are from an Ipad, anyone feel free to rotate them please. Edited April 25, 2016 by dtel 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

babadono Posted April 25, 2016 Author Share Posted April 25, 2016 Running three ways? Very nice! Yes David is going 3 way. He has the QSC "minnie me" from Parts Express. Coupled to a Faital HF140 driver. Its all active crossover, separate amps, dialed in with REW. Even a separate amp channel for each of the 4 woofers in the MWM bass bins. Truly superb.. dare I say over the top. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's kinda of a classy look. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh OK I didn't know or remember where they came from, they look nice. I thought about the trim when I built mine but trim was a whole other project and I was wanting to listen. Your room looks nice, looks like it's plenty big enough, I know how much space they take up, that's why I said that. if it fits like that it's a good size room. I know that must sound good, I love the way they sound low and at any volume, they never seem to have a problem even when vibrating the house. It's like there just cruising along effortlessly. Ok I love them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
