Sub output: Is it the woofer size or the rated RMS
161 ten inch woofers have met their match!http://www.ohgizmo.com/2006/03/06/the-biggest-subwoofer-ever-made/ 
Sub output: Is it the woofer size or the rated RMS
Sometimes it's simply a matter of Proportion, like sticking a babies head, on a 250# man. Or building a huge state of the art hometheater sound system, and then watching the movie on a 27" screen....it's just not right. 
Sub output: Is it the woofer size or the rated RMS
StanwalSome good points, so I'll keep this short:Regarding Wilson: (They have Thor's Hammer subwoofer?)...two 15'sRegarding Rel subs:(and in no way intended as a knock) (Fine subs, but mostly over rated at Audiogon, and probably under rated, at mo... 
Sub output: Is it the woofer size or the rated RMS
StanwalI didn't attack manufactures at all, I simply stated that the reason they build small subwoofers is marketing. (the wife part was half in jest, and half not). A lot of people want subwoofers, in this day of hometheater. And many of those pe... 
Sub output: Is it the woofer size or the rated RMS
I just thought Stanwal's " cone linearity " statement was complete hogwash, and implying some advantage, towards smaller drivers.Truth is, from 20-80hz (normal subwoofer range)...small drivers have no advantage over larger drivers.... at reproduci... 
Sub output: Is it the woofer size or the rated RMS
StanwalHummm, I wonder why all the best subwoofer designs, that have more than one size (10"/12"/15"/18"...charge more for the larger subwoofers?, if the smaller subwoofers are better?You should quit reading, and get some practical experience.The ...

Is Audyssey worth it?
My Onkyo 805 has it....works great, system sounds great, I'm happy.Dave 
Vandie 1c or Maggie MMG?
Easy one.....Vandersteen. If you liked mainly Jazz, I'd probably say Maggie....except, your rooms to small for any dipole....IMHO.Dave 
HELP me choose an AV reciever or processor please
I wouldn't pay a lot, resale on receivers is very poor. I picked up a nice Onkyo 805 a couple months back ($550)...I like it a lot.I've always had good luck with Onkyo components (knock on wood), and I own several older Onkyo components that I bou... 
7.1 speaker set up recommendation
I use VMPS speakers, and VMPS passive subs. Easy to drive, great bass...and have the ability to play loudly, without distortion.Receiver is an Onkyo 805, and two Onkyo M-504's to drive the 4 subwoofers.Note: I just upgraded to seven channels aroun... 
Shorting pins for balanced input?
When I had my old Krell Ksa-250 amp, if you used the single ended inputs, without inserting the shorting pins into the balanced inputs...you would get Hummmmm with your music. Dave 
I.Q. Speakers from Germany ????
Rated 4 ohm, and 87db....thats all I know. 
How many hours did your projector lamp last?
My projector is pretty old (Infocus X-1)....the bulb has around 2,000 hours on it. It's rated for 3,000-4,000 hours if I recall correctly?Dave 
20 Amp Dedicated line: 10 gauge vs 12 gauge wire
