The focus and air lie
sorry, one last effort to make clear what seems obvious: as with all art, the appreciation of music, any music, must have AT LEAST as much to do with the person listening (and all that "a person" entails, which is so so SO much more, including var... 
The focus and air lie
shadorne, i never said a boombox is better suited to anything. what i said had to do with debates over the location of and access to the soul of music, or any art for that matter. sorry you are so shocked by this perspective, but your criticism is... 
The focus and air lie
ah, it's all relative i suppose. when i've been in graduate school i always found that those from developing countries listening to boom boxes always seemed to enjoy music, be transported, deeply affected, etc., more than their spoiled first world... 
15 watts & 94 db eff. speakers: how loud?
fyi, after much back and forth and many many opinions, it turns out the trends t-amp was faulty, though the exact problem remains indeterminate. audiomagus went above and beyond to try and determine the problem, even though they could not reproduc... 
why are two subs harder to place than full range?
thanks duke, i really respect your postings, both in terms of tone and content. 
why are two subs harder to place than full range?
btw, here is something some of you may not already know concerning the use of subs with t-amps http://www.audio-magus.com/help_answer.asp?ID=20#135although i didn't know this and connected speaker level anyway, my amp seems to have not suffered da... 
why are two subs harder to place than full range?
iplaynaked offers the best first cut for my situation, and i appreciate the advice. if that doesn't seem to work i'll wait for my back to heal and start moving some furniture and listening to the sub in different positions. btw. my room is about 1...

using 2 subs: do they need to be the same?
thanks for your response once again, unfortunately neither my amp (Trends 10.1 t-amp) or sub come with that or really any info, even if it did i don't think i'd know how to interpret it to determine such (in)compatibility on way or the other. i re... 
using 2 subs: do they need to be the same?
thanks ericjcabrera,that is how i envisioned it, but no retailing i've spoken to has agreed, though that could well be because they don't have experience with this approach and want to handle things according to their own sales approach. re connec... 
using 2 subs: do they need to be the same?
another question, if using speaker level high pass connections, does one use only one set of speaker wires for the two subs, i.e., does one use only the left terminals on one sub, connecting to the amp's left speaker terminals, and repeat that for... 
using 2 subs: do they need to be the same?
by the way,i have just a two channel rig and no lfe output. does anyone have any insight into why that would be needed to use two different sized subs. thanks again. 
using 2 subs: do they need to be the same?
thanks you two, that's interesting and helpful 
15 watts & 94 db eff. speakers: how loud?
fwiw, eric alexander of tekton told me that he felt the amp is likely malfunctioning, as he said the speaker should go substantially louder with 15 watts, even 10 should be more than enough for peaks over 100dbs. i don't know if he is going on any... 
15 watts & 94 db eff. speakers: how loud?
shadorne, you're absolutely right, don/t worry, i really love the speaker for what it is, i guess i'm really just trying to find that final volume margin of good sound from them, i know i'm very close, maybe already there, always looking past the ...
