[QUOTE="Ivan Beaver, post: 133833, member: 30"] Re: Sub Choice and Location I often move the sub out into the room-but I never delay it. If you delay it-it will be right for the people at the back of the room and WORSE for the people near the front. However whenever I do this I use a speaker that is more full range than the SM80-so the sub crossover is lower. THen you don't localized to the sub, but rather to the main speakers. In your case I would recommend the TH118 over the TH212 and put it basically in line with the mains but in the center of the mains. Yes the timing will be "off", but when you use "stereo" mains- and subs-it is going to be off in most of the room-no matter where you put the subs. That is the reason I ALWAYS start off with a center speaker system and try to have the sub located with it. THEN you stand a good chance for getting a real system alignment. I would put the sub at the peak of the building-to minimize the reflections off of the ceiling and the natural A frame will help extend the horn. Put the exit toward the peak of the A, not on the bottom as most people would do. [/QUOTE]
