Two subwoofers in smallish HT room?
db you now own both..Feel free to experiment, by doing so can only increase your experience and may be beneficial later on..I do feel your results will have you placing the hgs 10 in the lower level..Tom 
Spikes versus wall coupling
Barry is there any information on the speed or rate of vibrational dissapation of materials such as those in your designs versus the reloading or buildup of vibrational resonance in a typical stand alone audio component..Tom ..I sell audio and vid...

Electrical phase reversal may actually be putting the sub in acoustical phase with the mains.You can also have a phase or timing issue with another sub plugged into a separate AC line other than that used for the main sub..Tom 
Two subwoofers in smallish HT room?
Two of the same subs for sure. I try to match wave launch of subs with that of the two front mains.Measure out from back edge of dust cap to front edge of each respective speaker and sub. The difference will be the amount of offset..Typical sub wi...

I work for myself and for my clients. I sell products that I own myself, some of them are sourced from Starsound.Tom 
Spikes versus wall coupling
Why change form? Are there no losses in conversion? If you let it vibrate, like it will do anyway, no matter what and you provide a efficient path way for vibration to exit would there not be be less loss than high mass dampening? Some coupling de... 
Spikes versus wall coupling
Barry you have not provided for an exit stratedgy for vibration to vacate the speaker. In fact you have provided no way out at all.. by adding mass and dampening at the top of the speaker you have 2 totally opposed counter productive non exit path...

Direct coupling if implemented and properly performed increases the likley hood of sucessfull resonance transfer.Ask your loved one for further comment..Tom 
Spikes versus wall coupling
Newbee way back when my oldest sister had a senior class prom party at my parents house, I remember my father being really pissed off the morning after..Reason was the new hardwood floors were dented from all the young ladies who wore 4 inch heels... 
Spikes versus wall coupling
A properly designed point or spike will provide a geometric path way for resonant energy to exit thru the point and into the larger mass it is direct coupled with. There are discs on the market which when placed under the coupling point increase t... 
Does surface a component sit on affect the sound.
Applications of resonance transfer are now being applied within speaker enclosures, speaker crossovers, amplifier chassis design and the source itself, acoustic instruments. Tom

Has anyone heard from Brulee? We use to phone each other from time to time..Is he out there? Is he well? Bruce come back!! Tom 
Best Floorstander Under 10K?
That profit is applied to the advertising budget making that product's perceived value to be much greater than the total sum of all its parts..After all the end user bought the product based on perception often conceived by someone else.The end us... 
What's wrong with this system?
Purchase upgrades that you will use for now and forever..Fundamental upgrade that you can use under a Nad a Krell or an SET..An upgrade to a preamp speaker or CD..Audiopoints or Sistrum will give you a remarkable degree of improvement in every way...

I heard the LSA 2's a few times.Yes they were easy to go back and listen to each and every time..They were also easy to discern differences when changing electronics or component supports or for that matter power cords. Fit and finish visually spo...
