difference between Kappa Emit series I and series II
Just so you know OP.. There is something WRONG... It will blow the new driver right back out.. Find the problem first. The amp is oscillating. I just hope it didn’t wipe out the crossover (the high pass). It is a QSO crossover.. Quasi Second Order... 
difference between Kappa Emit series I and series II
I stand corrected, they are planars.. Again ohms is the trick, match the tweeters.  I thought I might have a few of the round ones here.  No luckI have the Square, 4.5 ohm, There were at least 3 different types of those things.  He has the round o... 
difference between Kappa Emit series I and series II
I would check the amp, there is no way you blow 4 tweeters, and not have an oscillation problem, with the amp. Second the series I RM2s you have to be careful with. They will blow the mids too, because of the low crossover point, 166 hz I think.. ... 
How to damper booming bass...
Mmmm, or is OP saying it is still booming? Even after he turns the loudness button off? Any case, sounds like an empty room BOOM,ay? MC gave some good advise, away from the walls..Room treatment..as much as you can stand, afford, or put up with.Do... 
How do I pay?
Escrow, or COD and inspection upon arrival, if not, then no No deal! That is a gentlemans agreement. Shipping is the only thing lost...I had a guy show me one speaker twice, the other speaker was a hatchet job... He thought he was clever.. Be awar... 
More power for moderate listening levels?
If I measured them they would be different again. As I said, I've seen a LOT of fudging and manipulation, of the numbers. How that mic is held what it is held with, background noise, I've seen some weird stuff to get NUMBERS. Wiring out of phase i... 
More power for moderate listening levels?
Here's the thing.. That  Mack and that Porsche both have close to the same horsepower, and torque.. Look them up you'll see. 2-500 hp with 1-2000 foot lbs of torque..  The difference is the size of the parts..... Foot lb of torque... BIGGERSame th... 
More power for moderate listening levels?
86 db sensitivity 25 wpc amp? LOL Do you have a buddy with Parasound, A21,23.  Something like that. Krell 100 or 250 wpc, Mark L will push those puppies.. If you want a pitch black background, some type of class d. They are 1/3 the cost of the Pas... 
Am I out of my mind? #obsessed
Good Lord, You polish and wax speakers just like any other paint (after it’s cured) I make sure they’re are not surfaced scratched, I fix that first, then apply a HARD coat of natural wax, two coats will do. Make sure the wax is Carnauba Wax (VERY...

Will 12 inch subwoofer be enough for an 18x20 room (with 10 ft cielings)
One sub, ok Tekton 21" bass bin (sub) it has two M/B couplers in it to...Great box  25 to 300 or so,, 95% + sensitive. Regards.. 
Bought some 14/2 “speaker wire” from Home Depot
@11.00 for 25 feet it is an alu/copper clad?. If it was pure copper in zip cord, that would have helped.  Copper works very well, but don't tin the ends, that will change the sound to.. 4% silver and 96% lead and tin...99.99% copper, and a graphen... 
Subwoofer line array for 2 channel
Well it sure gives you a lot more flexibility.  Than the older columns,Each box has it's own amp... Can get pretty picky if you want.It's good, but a DBA will measure a lot better. My issue is 60-300hzThat is the bulk of what most folks call BASS.... 
Subwoofer line array for 2 channel
Less floor space for sure...All kinds of good things about the stack, BUT the DBA guys will want to spread it and closer to the walls, take a couple of them out of phase, la-te-da.. Same stuff different day.. Now go a step further, with 2 MB colum...
