Your Opinion

[E-Stat]

Yes the Crown is driving the sub and everything below 90Hz goes to the sub everything above 90Hz goes to the Polk's .. so the sub isn't running full range .. if that is what you ment

As I said, 90 hz is waaay too high a crossover point for a single sub to prevent localization. You would need to set it more like 50 hz or so. Running dual subs allows you to run them that high and not compromise the image.

o .. ok i get it now ... epiphany haha

[bobsticks]

I gotta say, having been to Mr. P's abode and having heard the Danes in question, I can wholeheartedly support his recommendation...

I'm with Feanor as I'm a planer speaker man, ESL's in my case. I can't really comment to much on your choices. I've never heard any Blose speakers I would spend any money on. I don't like JBL's and haven't heard any B&W's or Dynaudios recently.

[BallinWithNash]

For the record i don't like Bose ... i was just seeing how many ppl would vote for them ... I like Polk, JBL, and B&W

[Worf101]

Truth be told your set up is far superior to what I started out with from stem to stern. My current rigs are "different" not better. But certainly different.

BWN, It looks like you have your speaker sitting on top of your sub. I would consider different sub placement. Your room also looks small for that size sub.

[BallinWithNash]

haha yea my room is small for that sub and well everything else i have ... there really is no where else to put the sub ... and all my speakers are magnetically shielded

I love Dynaudio, but I also have a pair of Vienna Acoustics Schoenberg. I wonder how do you guys fell about these? I couldn't find any reviews on them.

They sound pretty good to me but they are used as rears so I can't really tell.

[emesbee]

That list is really too restricted. However, out of the choices listed the only one I haven't heard is Dynaudio. B&W would be my choice out of the others.

However, here in the land of Aus, we have a number of local manufacturers who produce good products that compete more than favourably with many imports, pricewise and performancewise. VAF, Krix, Sonique, Whatmough would all be on my list.

90Hz is not to high? ... your bookshelf's are running all way down to 50Hz? ... you can only hear down to 20Hz why would you crossover so low? you want a 6 inch driver playing all the way down to 50hz? doesn't make sense to me ... can you please explain

[Mr Peabody]

BWN, bass frequencies are supposed to be non-directional, if done right you shouldn't be able to tell where the sub is in the room. I'm not sure at what frequency the bass becomes more directional but E-stat is saying at 90Hz this would happen and setting the sub lower would diminish that directionality effect. And, if using two subs the bass would be even on each side so you could get away with crossing higher.

Alright ... thanks Mr. P again ... you always have a great and not very complicated way to explain everything haha
