Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion Home Theater Heard a JL audio GOTHAM today...

I feel sorry for the person who sits on the bean bag between the two subs!

Are you kidding, best seat in the house.

You need someone on that chair to keep the beans from rattling.

Special, no-rattle beans

Very nice looking room.

That's nuthin'! When I was in the Army, I fell asleep between two M2 50-caliber machines guns firing away! I had a crew to my left, and another to my right. Not more than 10' away. How I slept, I don't know, but I did!

Nice looking room though. I wonder if the subs would be better if not facing in the same direction. I thought sides of the room were more ideal.

OK, you get the prize for that one . Hows your hearing these days?



There isn't enough space on the other side of the room for a sub without them being quite a bit offset. The subs mid-wall opposite sides might be the best location but I will never know. I have tried both in front, one in front, one in back, both in back and the current location and this has been the best over all for FR and impact bass (especially for the bean bag seat ) Actually, the bean bag only gets used occasionally and is moved out into the room. It is a favorite kid spot.

I agree - very nice looking room there! I've had a great experience with the JL car audio line (their amps included), so I will have to check out their HT line at some time. I'm certainly happy with my EP600, but I'm one of the old school bassheads and can't get enough.

A couple questions - What kind of wall treatments are you using? Also, is your entertainment unit from Salamander?

Thanks, JL does make some nice woofers. As usual with audio, it comes down to the subjective stuff, personal preference and budget.

The acoustic panels and bass traps are from GIK Acoustics. The cabinet is a Bello.

Why I'm lobbying for the A1400-8. It also didn't help when I pulled my ear plugs out on the grenade range to see how loud it "really" was. It was loud. I think I did some real damage that day.



Hmm, I see you have the GIK Acoustics traps. I need to get some for my brother-in-law's basement. I'll give them a call. Thanks for the tip.
