| volume/transparency ? Yep, it is our ears more than the speaker. The basic premise of Fletcher Munson is that our ears are far less sensitive to low frequencies and high frequencies at lower volumes. Our ears are more or less midrange dominant at lower volumes. So, we ... | |
| Subwoofer recommendations for this system? StehnoI really spent a fair amount of time researching subs and auditioning them before I finally shelled out money. I found that I simply could not live with most of them. I also asked the various companies a lot of questions. One of my concerns ... | |
| Subwoofer recommendations for this system? Easy one. ACI Force. One of the most musical subs you can buy with surprisingly high clean output capability. Having compared directly to REL Strata III and Storm III, the Force was the winner as far as my friends and I determined. Looks very cool... | |
| Anyone heard ACI Force Subs ? Yep, been listening to one for about three months now. It actually belongs to a friend but I've been using it as he does not have the rest of his system yet. The Force is a terrific sub. I auditioned many subs in my quest before finally settling o... | |
| ACI Anyone? Just another very happy ACI camper. First it was the Titan II LE sub that culminated my year long search for a sub that would do no harm to the music. Perfect match with my Sonus Concertos. Then it was the Sapphire III LE that replaced my Sonus Co... | |
| The Best Surround "Ceiling" speaker out there? Triad makes the best sounding inwall-inceiling stuff I've heard. | |
| is there really a need for two subs? I've had a single Titan II LE for over a year and absolutely love it. It is seamless. I've wanted to try a second unit but didn't have the extra funds. A couple of monhts ago a friend got one of ACI's new Force subs. We spent a couple of weeks pla... | |
| How long do the speakers last before a service? My understanding is that most cone based speakers will last 15-25 years plus easy. There really is no "calibration" or repair unless you blow a driver. I've heard varied stories on some planars, electrostatics etc. but even they should usually be ... | |
| Small Sub w/ Connectivity ACI Force is very slightly bigger than what you're talking about but very attractively styled. Absolutely superb sonics for around $800. Definitely in at least the same league sonically as the Strata III. Yes, I've done a lot of listening to both ... | |
| Vandersteen or REL or.......?????? Think small I talked a friend into ordering an ACI Force. Since he's still putting together his system we've been using it in my system for the last couple of weeks. My main speakers are Sapphire III LEs which replaced a pair of Concertos last year. I'm runni... | |
| Best 2W Speaker under 1500 My vote is for the ACI Sapphire III LE. I had a pair of Concertos which I really liked. A friend damaged the cabinets and offered to buy them from me. Because I had such good results with the ACI Titan II LE subwoofer I decided to give the Sapphir... | |
| Where's the info on new ACI sub? They announced it on the SMR support forum a few days ago. The direct page link ishttp://www.audioc.com/speakers/Force/intro.htmSounds like a very cool sub! You might want to also read the thread on SMR and there is also one at HD where Mike D has... | |
| ACI Titan II LE vs REL: Opinions I spent the better part of a year researching subs before I sprung for my Titan II LE. One of the best moves I've ever made. It really does the job. You're right, they are extremely hard to find used. Considering the ACI has been doing a good busi... | |
| I need to be wowed I enjoyed my Sonus Concertos for a long time. The ACI is a major improvement in so many ways while still maintaining a very similar type of rich tonal balance. The Sapphire IIIs are really amazing speakers. I'd strongly recommend giving them a try. |
