You can easily find 8 inch subwoofers, but not very often do you find them small than that, but I did have a bass uni... | |
| Question on small bass drivers in tower speakers JohnK - I need to read through that link again, but I didn't come to the same conclusions that you did. About the only thing that I gleaned was that efficient drivers are better, at least for long term durability if pushed to their limits.How does... | |
| Question on small bass drivers in tower speakers Shadorne - It seems logical from a physics perspective that smaller drivers would be easier to control resulting in a more accurate bass response. The problem being that small drivers cannot move as much air and that's more related to volume that ... | |
| Question on small bass drivers in tower speakers My Focal 836v speakers have an array of three 6-1/2 inch bass drivers and they often surprise me with their bass. I actually have a subwoofer, but I don't use it often for stereo listening, it's reserved for home theater. I have my speakers fairly... | |
| entry level bluray? I have the basic Samsung BD1600 and it's just fine other than being slow at times and having a few minor issue. My point is that just about any entry level player is adequate for the majority of people. Samsung initially had the most available fea... | |
| A warning to all about HUGE Subwoofers 10 Hz almost has to be a test tone. Even large pipe organs don't go much, if any, below 16 Hz. What would be the point of recording sounds that low anyways? The percentage of people that actually have equipment to reproduce it is a small subset of... | |

| A warning to all about HUGE Subwoofers I would suspect that it would only be a significant structural issue if your house has a resonant frequency that the subwoofer if matching. Sounds like you might be experiencing this situation.I heard a subwoofer demo at my local dealer that was d... | |
| Multi-Channel, Light-Duty, Economical, Digital Amp Have you considered upgrading your receiver to a higher quality more current model? If you're using it for home theater you should have one with HDMI connections and that is capable of decoding the HD formats.Something like an Integra 80.2 would p... | |
| Your best ''outstanding'' products in last 5 yrs? Martin Logan Dynamo 700 subwooferI replace almost my entire system just over a year ago and have been very happy with all of it, but when considering the value of the different products I'm most impressed with my Martin Logan Dynamo 700 subwoofer.... | |
| Focal 700V series for 5.1 home theater or ??? I have not heard much of the Martin Logan products beyond being very happy with their subwoofer.Another option might be Monitor Audio if there is a dealer locally. I've only heard one of their very affordable bookshelf models, but was really impre... | |
| Focal 700V series for 5.1 home theater or ??? One final thought, I actually don't use a center channel because I simply don't have room in my cabinet and I'd suspect that I could convince a lot of people that I do have one anyways. In my opinion, as long as you're listening position is betwee... | |
| Focal 700V series for 5.1 home theater or ??? As for a 5.1 setup, I'd get 800 series floorstanders for the mains and 700 series for the center and rears.Mains: 816v ($2,000 pr)Rears: 705v ($500 pr)Center: CC 700v ($500) / CC 800v $600 (might be worth it)I would go with a different brand subwo... | |
| Focal 700V series for 5.1 home theater or ??? Ironically, you are talking about two of the models that I have had the least listening experience with, but I'm very familiar with the Focal Chorus 700 and 800 series speakers.The hi fi store that I deal with generally carries the 706v, 816v &... |
