Last night, we watched "How To Train Your Dragon" and "The Walking Dead".
On How To Train Your Dragon, as with "The Avengers", no matter where one sat in the room, the VP150 was delivering crystal clear dialogue. Four different people mentioned how the dialogue was much better / easier to hear than it was with the Klipsch RC64 II.
The room is largely square - it's 25x24 feet, and used to be a two car garage. Because of it's shape, it's pretty easy to do some serious off axis listening - outside 30 degrees is available.
There is a lot more to do, but based on results of 4 movies plus "The Walking Dead", I think it would be an eye opener (pun intended) to have some blind testing done with people who demand that this VP150 cannot possibly sound good.
To the subwoofer ... The PC2000, so far, has yet to make any "bad noises", and this includes some tough scenes from "Dragon". Scenes that had our Outlaw LFM1-EX pair "chuffing" had no chuffing on the SVS. Keep in mind, this is comparing TWO LFM1-EX to the SVS. The large, 4 inch port in the SVS is doing its job.
Also keep in mind the LFM1-EX has been replaced by the Ultra X-12. The X-12 seems to have addressed some of these issues - may have to get one to test.
The LFM1-EX, even a single, bests the SVS in the mid bass (32-80 Hz) "slam" area.
Overall, I find the SVS to be a better performer, because at no time did it call attention to itself by making a "bad noise". This is a tough test for an $800 sub in a large room.
We should have the latest Omni Mic this week, and we can start posting response curves for both the PC2000 and the VP150 (on and off axis).
