| I'm never going to hear a megaspeaker in a good room am I? Hello Erik, Thank you but there's no need to apologize. No harm, no foul. No big deal, I was just having a little fun. The truth is it was my mistake, not yours, and I do appreciate your attentiveness. I also try to pay close attention ... | |
| Do you use a Subwoofer when listening to stereo? Hello hsw, Are you stating that you're using a pair of subs and you're hearing or measuring a bass mode between 60-70 Hz at your listening seat?

| Do you use a Subwoofer when listening to stereo? Hello emergingsoul, Are you using an audio/video receiver to power your main speakers? If so, yes you should set the front l+r speakers (your 804Ds) to "large" so they run fullrange. Why do you have them set to "small"? You should also c... | |
