I have to admit...u guys are very patient....

For bass freaks...

Not sure if it has been mentioned, Australia has some pretty good scenes with very good LFE (Buffalo scene comes to mind, Japanese plane attack among others). Can't say much for the movie, wife enjoyed it though.

Not sure, will check with htkaki....

Do all of us a favour and get a blo**dy sub already!

U keep waiting an you tubing u will be waiting forever, select one and buy and put us out of our misery.

They sent u a new decoder board or did u send it back for repair?

Also if u sent it back for repair, any problems bringing it in?

Check out the Epik's new sub!

Dual 15in drivers and the intro price of USD799! I wish they ship to Malaysia..

Epik New Sub

They do not to ship overseas and u got to contact them for early order. They state very clearly their reasons on why they do not want to support overseas order, so I'm not sure its such a good idea to get it. Also this is 1st gen product, not sure of the fall out, but the price is pretty good.

Maybe someone here can become an unnofficial dealer....hint hint....

If the dealer could also offer warranty, then I think it is pretty good. Also once the price goes up back to USD1400, its not as great compared to maybe the upcoming SB16? Maybe?

Seriously, after looking at the stuff, I think we are pretty lucky to have a local SVS dealer. Prices are pretty good compared to the risks. Now if we could only get some guy to look at Epik and some others.

Take a look at what klimal is selling, seems like a good start.

Subwoofer for Sale (klimal)

klimal is a lyn forumer, u can search his id or use the link above.

U shd be telling us ur thoughts....we are waiting for a review.

I'm game. Just let me know when. I can bring the as-eq1.

pierreye,

Dual sub? Or DD-12 going up for sale?

Jimmy,

What is the exact labelling on ur sub for this cutoff? I believe this is a low pass filter, meaning anything above this it will not play on the sub.

Also on the AVR what is the exact labelling of the sub? This shd also be a low pass filter so essentially they shd be set the same.

What I would advise u to do would be to decide the frequency of the mains/centre and the sattelite. What are they set at?

Also what is the rating on ur sub?

What is ur AVR? Does it have Audyssey? Or any room correction?

Jimmy,

As htkaki said, set both to 100Hz. How low does ur Sony sub go? Was this a standalone sub or something from a HTIB?

Why don't u use Audyssey? Did u run into any problems? If u did run Audyssey, could u let me know the settings that Audyssey suggested?

Also as htkaki asks, pls let us know what speakers u use?

Ok. BMB speakers are normally for karaoke as such, high effeciency but also distortion. So u need to watch the volume. Since they are high efficiency, what speaker level trims did u set since u do not use Audyssey? If u do not have a SPL meter, it is difficult to set correctly and this could spoil ur HT experience as u could be overpowering ur surrounds or vice versa. Audyssey will take away all the guess work unless u are planning to set everything by ear and are happy with it.

Also these speakers don't normally go low as its meant for vocals. So I would suggest to let Audyssey do its thing and see how it sounds. I believe ur settings of 100Hz are not too far off, but I also believe u would not have adjusted the trims, unless u did. Audyssey automates this whole process of setting the speaker trims, crossovers and also checks if u set the phase correctly. If u run into any problems with Audyssey, let me know. Also pls use a tripod when u do Audyssey calibration. Read the instructions and carry out the 8 points if it allows. Then see how it sounds. It shd be more balanced and since it also has filters to fix the frequency issues in ur room, shd sound more correct.

Cool. What is the technical specs on them?

Is the front L/R same speakers as the centre?

Did u use a tripod when measuring?

Was the room quiet when u did it? Was there extraneous noise when the fronts were being measured?

If there were no measurement errors, and ur fronts are the same models and specs as ur centre, then ur primary seating place is causing the xovers to be set very high for ur fronts. There is some cancelation. Based on this and ur subwoofer not being able to handle below 100Hz, u will lose some impact from the fronts as they are crossed over at 150Hz, and ur sub at 100Hz.

However, my main suspicion is ur placement. U might need to move the fronts slightly forward and tilted to get rid of the null in ur seating position.

Also are the fronts rear ported? or front ported?

Yes, toe in and bring it slightly forward. Ur results indicate that the room is causing some issues.

I would not modify the xovers for now. Needs some investigating. Also I would advise against using the mic on a chair.

Pls PM me, since u r in Pg, maybe we can check it out.

Spent some time listening to asherteoh's sunfire. I must say that when properly set, it is really pretty good. Small footprint. Big on bass. Difficult to localize, and all this with no Audyssey. Definately can go pretty low and loud if u want. However, when properly setup, I think its accurate.
