I second that comment!!!! Time is our our most precious commodity. https://open.spotify.com/track/3TO7bbrUKrOSPGRTB5MeCz?si=y76QPZktTjOqHof18aEvsQI had to paste this. It’s like it was meant to be shared. I hear ya rlev. I went from nothing but time on my hands , unemployed. To busy busy busy. Balance is key. Music gets me thru. I remind myself I love music AND the gear it’s played on. Not just the gear. Edit: Ok I love the gear too , but you guys know what I mean!!

Right on!!!!
So your plan is to try the 600s in place of the 500s in your LFRa setup?
Stoked to here your results.
Sounds like the 125s are great as well.
Any chance of ( at some point ) to try m5hp with ep600? Any chance that would produce a good setup? Just been pondering other combos like an m2 with ep 125.
Cheers.

I think you've missed some of my posts, Kodiak. I'm disappointed. I'll be trying multiple topologies and configurations but none with the 600s beside the LFRs. I've already determined that given the height of the 600s, they shield some of the reflected energy from the front wall and I can't have that. It's noticeable frankly. For configurations, I'll be trying all subs together on the .1 channel as well as 600s and 800 only for .1. For topologies, I'll be trying the 500s away from the actives (as sides). I'll be trying out "double bass" for all set-ups. Double bass is when the front channels are also routed to the .1 subs. I've already set up M5HPs with and without my 800. They are excellent. The soundstage and imaging in my rooms are both better with the M5 compared to the M100. Everything sounds more real with the M100s though. The M5s acoustically disappear better like the M2, M3, M50. The active LFR1100s are the epitomy of acoustical disappearance and musical reality in my main room. In case you missed it, I've ordered M5OW to try against the M2OW along with my dual EP125s in the living room. I did this because Rebulx said the M5OW is kinda meh and also Rich said he thought the M2s were cleaner than the M5s. I want to know for myself. I can see why they may see these things. Rebulx wants loud, large and clean. The M5s are definitely meh against the M100s in that department (which he has). As for Rich's comment, the M2s are definitely cleaner-sounding than the M5s in my living room. It has to do with too much bloom in the bass. Perhaps that's what Rich heard.

Yeah. Sorry. I try to keep up but with working now it’s not as feasible. What a slacker I am.......getting behind on forum duties. I do remember you mentioning the 600 would be “ in the shadow “ reflectively. M5 ow as well?! Awesome man. I’d be very interested to here about those too. Sweet. One prediction , the “double bass” may not be as “ real “ as running them stereo / 2 channel. You’ll have enough subs to run a 2 channel active with 500 support in stereo plus the 800 playing .1 and the 600s in .1 as well. Awesome. Not sure what the call sign for that is. 2.3 stereo? Edit: is there a way to not miss posts from threads that I want to read when I’m away from the forum for extended time?

The replacement LFR1100 Active speaker arrived today. I swapped out the outriggers from the LFR1100 Active rosewoods onto the new Walnut Bordeaux actives. Outboard are a pair of matching EP600s. I have the ADA1500s, a 7 channel Integra Research BAT RDA7, and a 2 channel Marantz 7025 for the 8 M2OWs in surround and front and side ATMOS positions. Marantz 8805 provided processing.
I didn't have much time, but watched an episode of the Mandalorian. Holy smoke!!!! The picture on the Sony XBR 75 940d and the sound from this Axiom home theater system made for a fantastic movie experience.
WOW!!! Then I wanted to hear a little music, so I went the easy way, Youtube music, listened to Ludovico Einaudi, stunning!!! I am so happy.

I run double bass on the 800v4 and it sounds awesome!

I went with the twin EP600s instead of the 800s because I didn't want anyone to get hurt.

You went with the twin 600s because if you had gone with twin 800s, the sound from the rear of the actives would have never escaped your alcove.

Oh, the alcove. I think twin 800s would do structural damage.
