[QUOTE="Craig Hauber, post: 89350, member: 272"] Re: Small-ish Home Theater Subwoofer I'm willing to trade the LF extension of soggy-sounding home theater subs for a harder-hitting "pro" type of tone. -And honestly, I have a feeling that the greater percentage of "home theater" speaker purchases over the last decade would have a hard time getting to 35Hz anyways. (Thinking the ever popular trend of wallmount sound-bars and bose type subs isn't even that good) Bennett also says he lives in an apartment. Too much sub 20Hz might cause problems with the other tenants as it really tends to carry farther through structures. (I've been on the receiving end of that problem and it wasn't fun when you consider a showbiz sleeping schedule!) They are probably not too far off if you take a look at what's behind the screen at your local multiplex. 2" compression drivers, 15" and 18" pro-grade cone drivers is the norm. The modern "sound" of the movies has basically been defined by JBL and Altec, and it's probably what the final soundmix was done on too. :)~:-)~:smile: [/QUOTE]
