Coming 2 weeks would be very busy re-arrange all speakers, equipment and the damn heavy sub. You need 2 people to drag the sub, 3 people to carry it. Also need to DIY the speaker stand as the height for JTR T8 is around 26.5 inch. Can't find anything that is 10" for speaker stand. All 3 speakers standing vertically so this would be perfect for matching front speakers.

Will let you guys know how JTR T8 perform. Based on the rave review on avsforum, I'm expecting the performance to blow me away (well, at least blow my balls away!).

Great job there ! Nice work.

Will eagerly await your review on the ED and JTR. Hope can visit you next time I'm in PG.

We'll plan out a shootout if anyone want to haul their sub over (I think mys_terious is eager to bring his PC-13U but we need 3 strong guys to carry the sub).

I just run a test using REW in my guest room. Hitting 105db from 20hz to 100hz easily. The whole room is shaking.

I recall you said your aim is to achieve ref level for your HT system. Do u actually listen at ref level?

My current system can't do it. When I push near 100db, the sound start to distort and uncomfortable. Based on my previous exp, loud doesn't mean uncomfortable. In my previous HT room, -15db from the receiver is the max I can tolerate. After moving into new HT room with sound treatment, -15db feel soft and need to pump the volume to -5 db to feel the kick. I'm looking forward to try out 0db with the new system. Note that ref level for dialog is around 85db, peak 105db for speaker and 115db for sub. It's not constantly 105db (I'm going to have permanent ear damage if keep on listen at 105db for few hours).

So my conclusion good music speaker doesn't mean it's going to be a great HT speaker. You need to look at the sensitivity and max power it can drive. If you hit 105db at quarter of the max rating, I believe distortion would be very low. Most audio equipment when driving past 60% of the rated max rating will have distortion shoot up exponentially.

Cool! How low does it go in ur room?

i book 1 seat for myself for next audition/shootout ya

I didn't test in my HT room yet. Just take a quick measurement in my guest room. Well, 11hz at 95db.

OMG 11Hz! I also want to book another seat for the shootout. Don't mind hauling any big ass sub up and down as well to secure the seat.

Elite Chew, PC-U is only around 51kg to haul it. If PB-U, then it is 71kg mini-fridge size sub which will be back breaking to haul it up.

My customer in Penang, Mr Tan told me that it takes more than 10minutes for 3 adults to get the PB-U up the staircase to the 1st floor.

I just shift my sub from guest room across to HT room. Well, 2 people to drag the sub for less than 30 feet and it's damn tiring. Can't imagine if need to go up staircase.

My theater room is on 2nd floor, so need 25 mins (factor in extra 5 mins to take a break on 1st floor.)

yes pc-u13 is quite easy especially if the shipping box is still on.. 1 person can go up the stairs already...

You so strong, one person to pull 50+kg up 2 floors. So, you want to bring your PC-13U over? We can only put side by side as I can't pull my sub out.

Ha-ha, yeah the disadvantage of these big subs is the time and effort needed to move them. Not to mention the lesser options in placement around the room.

aiyaa, w ronnt88 around, he can lift two a7s-650 w his one BIG arm lah!

wps

hahaha.... sorry ler bro but my arms are reserved to carry hot chicks only

Completed MultiEQ XT calibration. Done some quick view to get an initial impression which is posted on first page. Overall, a step up from velo DD-12.

Just saw your impression and pic. So your ED is behind the screen?

I'm sure it's a few steps up from the DD-12. You now have much more cone area!

Would be good to see your REW graphs for the in room response. I'm still trying to dial in the PB13, at the moment facing a dip in the 40-80 Hz region which is a bummer since a lot of mid bass impact is in that range. Haven't run MultEQ XT to see how much can be corrected.

nola i tested for 1/2 a floor only.. it's possible to push from the bottom and let it lie down on the stairs.... i knew if i ask a friend to help i would have to answer alot of questions.. at the end i did ask my friend to help.. and i did have to answer y the sub is shaped like that, y izt so big bla bla bla
