After reading numerous pages of the RS TMWW tower build page, I have a couple relatively simple questions.
The last post in the build thread was many months ago. For those that built the 3-ways using either tweeter, what are your lasting impressions? Do you still have them? Can you compare them to another DIY? I saw Mr. Holtz considered them an 'equivalent' to Nat-Ps for HT. I will use 80%HT, 20% music, with dedicated ported 15" Datyon Reference sub to fill in the bottom.
What is the minimum listening distance for the RS 3-ways? I assume 2.5 meters given the number of drivers, or did one of the XO designs address this? Do you toe these in, or leave straight out?
I have a large room and am debating between RS 3-ways, Nat-Ps, and possibly the Zaph 3.5. The larger drivers in the RS 3-way appears to be an advantage given the size of my room, however, the listening distance from front baffle to sweet spot is ~11 feet. Wondering if one of these 3 designs will accel there, and for the poor people sitting off axis.
Any other input or experiences you can share are appreciated. AH, one more item. I need efficient mains to keep-up with my JBL 8330 (pro) surrounds. How is the efficiency of the 3-way's versus Nat's?
The CC is another story, given my 10.25" height restriction - unless I hang it over the TV. I like the 3-way center, but don't think there is ANY way to reduce the front baffle height down to 10.25"....
