Hello noble100,
Just a quick note - I am Jim Smith, author of of Get Better Sound, the Quarter Notes newsletters, and the "Subwoofery" series of seven articles on subwoofers in Copper e-mag.
I rarely post here, but thought a few points might be helpful in this instance:
You mentioned that you read the book twenty years ago. Actually, it was introduced in late 2008, and began shipping in 2009 - a bit over 10 years ago.
I know Duke and have communicated with James. IMO, they are both men of integrity. I do disagree with some of what they espouse, as they probably disagree with me. Even so, what they suggest is w-a-a-a-a-a-y better than what most folks hear or know about the need for subs and how to set them up.
FWIW - Audiogon shows that I signed up in 2014. It was actually in early 2001, IIRC. I was the North American distributor for Avantgarde Acoustics from 1999 through 2005. Hence the Hornguys username.
Carry on! Don't want to take this thread off track.
Jim
