Anyone Using XM or Sirius On Their System?
XM sound quality is mediocre. Compressed and rolled-off in the HF. I find it difficult to listen to. Also, the announcers/DJs are unnecessary and annoying. It's going back this week.FM and DMX are superior.Kal 
Speaker on its side as a center?
"Jaybo: its geerally for dialogue.....no big deal"Really? Try some of those 3channel Living Stereo or Living Presence SACDs and see if you are still singing this tune.Kal

Try it. It will compromise horizontal radiation but only you can say if it is acceptable. I wouldn't do it.Kal 
Subwoofer and bare floor
You can test for a polarity error with a bassy mono source by trying it with normal wiring and with one speaker reversed. The correct polarity will give a summation rather than a cancellation of the bass.Floor resonances are usually wide-band sinc...

Subwoofer and bare floor

Looking to update my crossovers. Active or Passive
None of the above. Crossovers cannot be bought over-the-counter and expected to perform as well as purpose-designed networks. If you have a crossover which was designed for the drivers you have, you are fine. If you want to change some drivers, yo... 
Bridging amps : How
2 ways:1. There is sometimes a built-in bridging circuit that only requires the user to push a button and use the correct connections.2. You need to add a bridging adapter that will invert the polarity of the signals to one amp; then you connect t... 
Are Meridian Pre-Amps Awful or Something?
Try discussing it here:http://www.meridianunplugged.com/cgi-bin/ultimatebb.cgiKal 
Classe CA-200 and B&W 805N combo??
Yeah, but he still won't get mo' betta bass unless he can fix the setup. A sub might help if he can get it balanced. Of course, we have no idea of what the bass problem really is without some measurements.Kal 
Classe CA-200 and B&W 805N combo??
I've seen that picture before. Your problem is acoustics and room setup; getting another amp won't help. Nor would getting the smaller 805Ns.Kal
