Then add a sub or two if you want, surrounds last IMO. I have 5.2 in my living room but unless I am playing a BD movie I run 3.1 or 3.0. I don't need a sub for TV watching. I have a 15" DIY sub and it easily shakes the room even at moderate listening levels. Yeah I think my surrounds are going to require some creativity as far as placement is concerned.

supercooldude Posted July 25, 2017 Author Share Posted July 25, 2017 Sub questions: Whats the difference between my SW-112 and the R-112SW? Also...should I get the R-115SW? *cough cough* yes of course *cough cough* 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Youthman Posted July 25, 2017 Moderators Share Posted July 25, 2017 I have not heard those subs but I know I went from a 10" Velodyne to a 15" Velodyne and once I moved to a 15, I've never kept anything smaller. There's just so much impact with a 15" driver for Home Theater. I even borrowed a Velodyne DD12 and honestly, it didn't impress me near as much as my previous Velodyne HGS15. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mama mia, I just looked those up. Thats a massive price jump. What does "servo controlled" mean? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Youthman Posted July 25, 2017 Moderators Share Posted July 25, 2017 Without getting too technical ( which is a way of saying I have no idea about the technical aspect of it ), The servo is a motor that controls the excursion of the woofer to help reduce distortion . 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators Youthman Posted July 25, 2017 Moderators Share Posted July 25, 2017 I bought the Velodyne HGS used for $350. I liked it so much I bought a second one . Then down the road I have the opportunity of buying a Klipsch RSW –15 and discovered that one RSW-15 was the equivalent of two Velodyne HGS 15's so I sold the Velodyne subs and bought three more LOL 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What is your sub budget, and how much room do you have? What I'm getting at is there is a DIY solution that features a pair of 18's with an Inuke 6000 w/dsp for about $1100. Eighteen is the new fifteen. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
W27 Posted July 25, 2017 Share Posted July 25, 2017 Just got done loading up the RF-83's. Very nice guy. Thanks for the referral Michael, although he stole them from me lol. I think he'll be in heaven when he gets home... well as long as he stays off of this forum. I feel the addiction starting! This place is rough on the wallet.

Ok, I think I need to pull back on getting such a huge sub. I am really eyeing the R-115SW...Yes? No? Now, as far as the center is concerned I texted the guy with the RC-64 and replied saying he would double check he still has it but unfortunately hasn't responded since early this morning. Ugg. I set the configuration to not have a center at all, using W27s fantastic advice. Sounded very good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
