Mojo, Large rooms are like a concert hall: the best for monster speakers and monster amps.... I just need my subs! The EP 500 should be here shortly and I'll put it to the test

A large room is one of the requirements for creating the illusion of a live performance.

Another fun aspect of a large room is the flexibility it allows for experimenting with speaker/sub placement and the blending of sound signatures. I have found out how well subs play from different locations and the overall enhancement of dynamic power it can lend.

Big rooms need big multiple subs, you need to move alot of air if your looking for the concert experience.

Exactly; I was toying with doing two or three EP 500's or an EP 500 and one more of either the 600 or 800. My thinking is that even though the 500's don't go as low, they will round out the space better and do a better job of filling the voids, even if the response isn't down to 12 hz. Not sure how much I need that super low energy vs. having a very full slightly higher range of bass response. I guess I shall see. It's why I wanted to start with one 500 and see how it interacts with the Model T's which by themselves have a lot of dynamic power.

Atta boy! That's where the TV belongs otherwise you end up with diffraction effects that wreak havoc!

I know that I have certainly gone overboard with all of this; however I am thoroughly convinced that all of you guys have totally lost your minds ......
