Subwoofer : Front Or Down Firing For Musicality ?

Musicality via down-firing and forward firing? There's a hell of a lot more to a sub than which way the woofer is firing. Also, from experience, I would always go with two subs rather than one. Also if you are not married to the Velodyne, check into the James emb1000 sub. happy listening, warren :)

Sgr, you don't get enough low end with those Salons? Still require 2 muhtha subs? I thought the Revels were good to go to 20Hz? warren

I do not know if they are more detailed or musical than the speakers you mentioned. They kill Sunfire (which I owned) and I preferred them over the Rel cubes, Definitive Technology cubes, and the Revel performa 15. Why don't you put your rig out there. We may be able to save you oodles, or put you in hock up to your eyeballs. fwiw, warren
