I'm gonna have to go down and listen to the 150v4 ... haven't notice ...

But then again I haven't really listened to it off the couch.

The 150 is smaller than the 180 so I’m hoping the 180 will have a little wider axis. If not, I can always send back for the 160 after the test drive.

Rich, I don't know about the 150v4. I'd bet Andrew and Ian worked that one over and it's not like the 150v2. Note the 150 went the way of the M22 and M50.

If I say anything ignorant please forgive me. I’m still learning.

A wider center does not make for wider off-axis performance necessarily. The 160v4 is plenty wide. I've sat 60 degrees off-axis with no problem.

Description on the 180 talks about being tested on and off axis so I guess I’ll find out in a month. Can also see if Rich notices anything on his 150v4. Maybe they fixed some of those issues.

Canes, I totally understand wanting to keep it open. Could you hang a really nice heavy curtain where a wall would go? You could make it really classy looking. Then about and close based on need.

Would a heavy curtain be enough to reduce the volume the woofers would need to pressurize? I honestly don’t know ?but I’m sure the crew here will comment.

It’s just a thought...... might be a dumb idea I’m not sure. But it works for reflections and diffraction ( right terminology?) in my living room giant glass window when I draw closed the heavy drapes.

Edit: sorry to interject in the Center channel chat. Just a lowly 2 channel guy here. ( smirk. ).

Nope a curtain won't help unless it's 14 feet thick. No kidding. To stop a 20Hz acoustic wave, you need at least a quarter wavelength of absorption. A 20Hz acoustic wave is about 55 feet long. A quarter of that is 14 feet.

Ha ha ha ha!!! That’s hilarious!! Ok. Bad idea. I’m smiling at myself now. It’s logical when you put it that way Mojo.

Well Canes , I guess you’ll need to just buy a lot of sub woofers. Or heavy furniture and large fish tanks.......a la Scarface.

So what are my curtains actually doing when I close them? ( bc it sounds a lot better when I do ). Sorry to hip check the chat here.....
