I read somewhere that about one third of your TV screen should be below eye level. That seems about right to me. Whatever looks good to you.

I was just curious what the "experts" thought. Been looking at subs again and noticed that the SVS PB-10NSD actually has a better response graph than the 20-39pci and it's cheaper to boot. Can anyone think of a reason not to go with the PB-10?

Oh yeah and I wouldn't have to wait till the 15th to order it...

Order it try it out and if you don't like it send it back. I have the PB12-NSD and the pounding it is capable of is great for HT, but the more I listen to music the more the thump annoys me. It hits a little to hard, I would suspect the 10 to not hit as hard. It really is up to you as some people really enjoy the extra hard hits with music, just not me.

After looking around a lot more I decided on the Outlaw Audio LFM-1 Plus. I figure I can "pull the plug" if the deep bass gets to me. It looks as if it's actually more accurate than the SVS subs as far as a flat frequency response goes. With the plug installed it's +/-2db 18-180hz. I think it's a really good deal for $550 shipped. Might go nice with their new pre/pro whenever they release it. One of the reasons I was so interested in the svs cylinder designs is that they're down firing. Somehow that just really seems like a good design to me. This one is a down firing sub as well so that was another reason to like it.

My speakers showed up this morning Heard a pounding on the door while I was in te shower Of course knowing it was the fedex man I ran to the door nearly killing myself to catch him before he left with my speakers. Supposedly my sub is out there somewhere on another fedex truck out for delivery. Should be a fun weekend. Time for some lunch and some wiring

Yippee!!!

Sweet!
When we moved into our new house the first thing I unboxed were the new Axioms and my old receiver and CD player. Not another box got moved in until I had some tunes going.

WOOT!!! Sub arrived in teh BIG fedex truck. Outlaw Audio REALLY knows how to pack a sub. Axiom did a pretty good job too on the little bookshelfs as well but I've never seen anything packaged so well. Anywho, so far everything sounds great. I want to get a nice jazz SACD or two to impress the ladies with (am I right CV? ) and to show off the system but I'm not entirely sure what to get. I think I'm really gonna like this setup. The Outlaw sub seems to have the right mix of music and punch so far. "When the levee breaks" by A Perfect Circle sounds great.

I still need to pick up AVIA II and a SPL meter but YPAO seems to have done a pretty good job so far.

Ha ha, I don't know if you're right. I haven't actually had any luck with the ladies. I'm very good at the daydreaming, though.

Proto,

I suggest Oscar Peterson: We Get Requests.

This is an exceptionally well-recorded CD. On my system, the soundstage extends well-beyond the speaker boundaries in stereo mode and sounds even "larger" in PLIIx. When in PLIIx, I like listening to this one with a phantom center.
