QUOTE(htkaki @ Aug 10 2008, 07:20 PM) All speakers and brands have its tonal or music characteristic. So as to have the same characteristic, it is always recommended to go for the same make. This way any sound moving from any speakers to the other will not sound differently. learn something everyday.. |

QUOTE(htkaki @ Oct 15 2008, 10:37 PM)  Tks, bro. The sub has good bass extension. I would say it is more punchy than the B&W. However, it doesn't have the power of B&W. B&W goes mellow since it leans toward music. This CHT-12R is designed for movies Been running it for more than 4 hours now |

QUOTE(htkaki @ Oct 16 2008, 12:19 PM) Set it 100Hz. Play music at soft volume for continuously. Today, I forgot to switch it on before I left first thing i did when my svs was hooked up was played cloverfield at 0db (calibrated to 80db).. LOL I would not recommend to blast the sub at high volume as it would court trouble. Just like a car, 1st 1,000km is to drive gently |
