teaman Posted October 30, 2015 Share Posted October 30, 2015 Teaman, have you tried the XPA-2 in mono block mode? 1000 wpc @ 8ohm. No, I was tempted to do that today when I was moving everything around. I may try it this week if I can find time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
parlophone1 Posted October 30, 2015 Share Posted October 30, 2015 I haven’t got anything today, but I got the chance to listen Tannoy Westminster Royal GR speakers. They were paired with two Luxmans M900u in mono block mode powering Tannoys with 600 W. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dude Posted October 30, 2015 Share Posted October 30, 2015 I haven’t got anything today, but I got the chance to listen Tannoy Westminster Royal GR speakers. They were paired with two Luxmans M900u in mono block mode powering Tannoys with 600 W. How did they sound, i always wanted to hear a pair.Sent from my SM-N920P using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
parlophone1 Posted October 30, 2015 Share Posted October 30, 2015 They sounded mighty . To write frankly, I think that the room they were placed in, was not enough for them. Maybe placement was not quite right too. We were listening some rock, classical music and R&B. For a start the amount of sound was impressive. Even at low volume one could feel the sound from the speakers through the body. I was expecting to hear delicate sound of wind from the organ pipes, which they surely can present to the listener, but the room acoustics was bad. On the other hand, every bit of “Money” by Pink Floyd was clearly audible from the right directions/positions in the room. It was almost scary. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
etc6849 Posted November 1, 2015 Share Posted November 1, 2015 (edited) "Bought" this thing in the Windows 10 App Store. OK, it's an app I built and put on there, but Windows still made me pay to download it! Quick Demo What's Required?1. Setup Motorola Premise Home Control (free home automation software) on a windows PC. This is not bloatware, Motorola used to sell the software for around $1000, but made it free when they discontinued support. There's an online http://cocoontech.com/forums/forum/51-premise-home-control/'>support forum and a [url=http://cocoontech.com/forums/page/home-automation-software/_/premise-r3]wiki[/url] though! Plus there's an SDK, so new technologies are added by tech savvy users. 2. Link whatever you want to control to your Premise server this can be lighting, HVAC, Security, A/V, anything that can be hooked somehow to your PC or network (KODI/XBMC, z-wave, insteon, radiora, upb, global cache... hundreds of supported devices and technologies). 3. Install and setup my SpeechParser module (by watching tutorial #7.x on my YouTube channel). 4. Install my Premise Control Home with Cortana app to control your home hands free by saying "Hey Cortana...Control Home...[insert command here]. Key Features Note the command phrase is not order dependent and works with synonyms too; you can even ask questions about your home (such as what is the brightness in the living room, when was the front door last opened, etc...). You DO NOT need to program a sentence for each device/property for this to work with your voice. Just give Premise the room names (regular expressions are supported, but optional), and my free Premise SpeechParser module does all the work of figuring out what you want based on what devices you have automated in a particular room! App uses a background Cortana voice service that is enabled once you open and setup the main app, so it works when things like KODI are in the foreground! App is compiled as a "Universal Windows Platform" (UWP) app, so it will work with Windows 10, Windows Phone 10, and maybe the Xbox One in 2016!

Chris A Posted November 1, 2015 Share Posted November 1, 2015 Nice to see you back. It looks like all that work has come to fruition. I've seen Ellery's apps for home automation demonstrated for me while he visited here in the D/FW area of Texas. He was turning lights/appliances/etc. on and off and controlling levels with nothing but common vocal commands, using a Dick Tracy watch, to his home in SC?, and we were watching them going on & off using a security video cam that he had setup. I'd put it in the amazing category. Very cool. Chris 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete H Posted November 1, 2015 Share Posted November 1, 2015 I got a lesson today on sealed subs. Finally fixed my RSW15 that was out of service since January and epoxied the internal plug to the plate and sealed it up (dog ears broke off) plugged it in and everything was working fine until I jumped on it and I was amazed at how much air can be pushed out of the 2 little screw holes that held the plug in. She was whistling like I was calling a dog, but sealed them up and all is good. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

etc6849 Posted November 2, 2015 Share Posted November 2, 2015 (edited) Thanks! I posted video tutorials and modules/scripts to set up what I showed you (voice control under Android) on my YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC6fLTEmRoGam7B5VoKazC9A I don't know if I'll keep doing the videos and posting my work, but I've been trying to post something every week; not enough people watching them versus the time it takes to record them. However, if they perpetually earn me $10/month it may be worth putting more up there. The KODI/XBMC video is pretty cool; I have it integrated into my house very nicely (caller id, doorbell pictures, auto library import, voice control, etc...). The KODI module + some scripts can do cool things for a setup like yours such as automatically set a parametric equalizer based on what library item (e.g. song) is playing, etc... I have the KODI module setup to automatically move my anamorphic lens sled in/out when 2.35:1 video content is played. Pretty neat. Nice to see you back. It looks like all that work has come to fruition. I've seen Ellery's apps for home automation demonstrated for me while he visited here in the D/FW area of Texas.

The History Kid Posted November 4, 2015 Share Posted November 4, 2015 that's a nice sub buddy! I think I'm gonna have to go ahead and get that RSW-10 though, because surely you don't need both the 18 and that 10. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
