I just fired up my 2RCC that I was building and am a little surprised by the results. I was expecting a pretty big sounding speaker but it seemed to have to struggle to keep up with my Statement Monitors. The bass, in particular, seemed to be quite reserved. Maybe it performed right and I just don't really understand how a center is supposed to sound, or maybe it just needs some time to break in, but I was expecting a more dynamic sound from it. I am driving it with a NAD 140 watt amp and I used almost two full bags of AcustaStuf in it - 1/3 lbs in the mid-chamber and the rest throughout the rest of the speaker (including in back of the mid-chamber). I also fully lined the walls in the woofer area with 3/4" Sonic Barrier except where the crossovers are mounted. Is it possible I put too much dampening in it? Can it make a big enough difference? I did play the Nora Jones CD in 'PL Music' mode and that actually sounded really good, however, the sound stage for movies and other music seemed to be lacking a bit. I was really surprised by the low amount of bass being put out by the RS225s relative to the RS180s that are in my Monitors. Like I said, maybe it sounds how it is supposed to and I just don't realize it, but I am surprised that those big woofers seem so reserved. Any ideas or advice?
Thanks,
Matt
