So, i've moved twice in the last ten years, had to store my stuff (HT gear), and im finally getting back to rebuilding a new room in a new house, with a lovely new spouse. It will be 13'x19'x vaulted ceiling.
I built some HUGE bass traps called super chunks, they are 2'x2'x108", i build three, for the three corners of the room, fourth corner has a door.
I just setup the subs with very good bass decay plots, and a very flat FR, i positioned my LCR and the other four surrounds and started listening and making sure everything was at least turning on, no buzzing, i fixed that, no humming, i fixed that, plenty of power (4 dedicated 12/2 20a breakers).
My LCR are the WTMW center channel speakers, from the mission accomplished thread section. All Dayton drivers, CurtCampbells XO, nothing changed, other than replacing all the damaged drivers from the hands of an Ex Spouse ( Yikes !!!)
Sooooooooo, ten years later and these three main WTMW still sound so good! They image so well, they are as musical as could be, an upright bass sounds so much like an upright bass should, i do XO at 80hz, so some of the bass is reproduced from my sealed subs, but TEN years later and they sound GREAT! I threw in BR Oblivian, which is an OK movie with really cool effects. At -10MV on my Denon the soundtrack was sultry, smooth, and lacked nothing in my opinion, the punch from the mains was unstoppable ( i watched that movie too ). Im still driving them with Outlaw Audio M-200 mono's (4ohms) 300 watts each......i use 7 mono's...
All i can say is this design is still state of the Art. To use three center channel speakers still translates the soundtrack perfect. If you were thinking about a build, dont hesitate !!!!!!
Thank you HT Guide !!!!!!
KG Peace!!!!
