What, exactly, is "pacing" when describing a sub?

Peter, possibly the music that he was playing had great "pacing"(and "rhythm", too!), since it's obviously ridiculous to apply those terms to a sub itself.

After living with the QS8 surround speakers in a 5.1 setup, only with the QS8's in the Wide position instead of the Surround position, I can officially say I am underwhelmed. Not due to the speakers, but due to the position of the speakers.
I would say it's marginally better with them there than without them there. If I sit in my old seating position of right in front of the tv, only about 7-8 feet back, I get the best use of the surrounds. That places them halfway between me and the TV. But if I just sit somewhere on the L shaped sectional, it's a very rare thing when I actually notice anything coming out of them. I have turned the volume on them up 1 db. to help overcome this a bit. It does help in some situations to give me a wider sound stage. With concerts, mostly all I notice are applauding and shouting coming from them. Now I'm waiting on the shipment of my 3rd QS8 speaker that's white and going on the back wall. The 10 business day wait puts the proposed ship date on Monday the 14th. My anticipation is this single speaker to complete my 6.1 setup is probably going to make the biggest surround difference. Edit: I don't know if the original on-wall M22's will fit on the new clips for the QS8's or not. But I'd kind of like to try one of my M22's on the back wall instead of the QS8, just to see what I think about it. Edited by CatBrat (01/10/13 11:59 AM) Edit Reason: Can't stop thinking abou it.

I'm thinking my next car is going to be a Chevy Volt, paid for by funds from my retirement account, before the summer is over. That's my short term goal. It's either that or car payments, and I'm averse to car payments. Especially after going without paying any or 10 years. If it happens, it happens. If it don't, I'll probably still be driving the same old Chrysler I've had since 1998.

Cat, you DO know this is a public forum and not a diary, right?

Dear diary, what a day it's been
Dear diary, it's been just like a dream Woke up too late, wasn't where I should've been For goodness sake what's happening to me? Write lightly, yours truly, dear diary It was cold outside my door So many people by the score Rushing around so senselessly They don't notice there's people like me Write lightly, yours truly, dear diary They don't know what they're playing? No they've no way of knowing what the game is Still they carry on doing what they can Outside me, yours politely, dear diary It's over, will tomorrow be the same? I know that they're really not to blame If they weren't so blind then surely they'd see There's a much better way for them to be Inside me, yours truly, dear diary
