| REL Quake or ACI Force for semi small room 48Hz floorstanders with a 40Hz sub cutoff is indeed quite close. Close enough that I'd want a home demo before committing my money.I'd hold out for a used REL. I bought mine used several years ago and they still sell for what I paid (about $800), ... | |
| REL Quake or ACI Force for semi small room At what frequency did you have the strata crossed ?I currently have my strata 3 set at 46Hz, but with my pervious speakers it was crossed at 28Hz. I notice that the Essex-audio sw-1 only crosses as low as 40Hz. That would not allow it to be partne... | |
| REL Quake or ACI Force for semi small room It was my understanding that the rega vulcan is made by REL. Is it another sub you're referring to ?I'm wondering why you don't want another strata 3 ? | |
| Coldplay X&Y New Release "They have been described as "music for bed-wetters"..."Perhaps that's why I'm lukewarm about them ? | |
| Coldplay X&Y New Release I have the previous 2 coldplay albums, and I'm rather lukewarm about them, I guess like Ben. So is the latest offering about the same, or better ? Or should I wait for it to turn up in the sale/used racks like I wish I had for the previous 2 ? | |

| Need Help With a Bright System Given that the room is well furnished I agree with The_kid. You need to change the speakers.Cables, vibration etc will not remove the brightness .... they are second order effects.Improving the source (DVD player) would help but will probably cost... | |

| PMC vs. ATC In the context of Linn and Naim I think audio and religion intersect. | |
| Improving sub quality Semi's point is a very good one. It would make sense to me that a front firing sub would behave very differently to a down-firing sub.I find it interesting that the B-series are advertised on Sumiko's site, but there's no mention of them on REL's ... | |
| Improving sub quality KGveteran, I'm glad it worked out for you. If aesthetics permits you might want to try placing the sub non-centered, following the Cardas placement rules athttp://www.cardas.com/content.php?area=insights&content_id=26&pagestring=Room+Setup... | |
| PMC vs. ATC Yes, can you discuss religion and politics ? You choose the order. Just let me get my beer and popcorn before you begin. | |
| Improving sub quality I have a REL on carpet on a suspended wooden floor and it sounded worse on spikes. It surprised me, but REL generally recommend against spikes, so perhaps they know better.I have found the best room loading to be out towards the middle of the room... | |
