Anyone heard the new PSB SubSeries 8 ...
I've had my eye on the PSB SubSonic 6i for a while now and I have had the opportunity to audition it in the past. I was very impressed, but curious as to weather anyone has heard the new SubSeries 8 yet, to see if there is a 'noticeable' difference.

The 8 will give you higher output with less distortion. How big is your listening room?

Well, the room is on the small side (13X14) but in the past it has had a tendency to 'eat' subs. Could very well be a standing wave issue. I've not listened to the 6i in this room before, so at this point I'm not sure how it will perform. I will be able to audition the 6i again, once room remodel is completed. Dealer does not have the 8 in stock , so I was curious to feedback from those that have actually heard the 8. Aside from being able to play louder with less distortion , does it sound more 'accurate/tighter' than 6i , at same volume levels?
I can't imagine the 6i not doing the job, however, if it can't , it's definately not a room size issue ... again ... more like a wave cancellation problem.Comment

I started by doing an A/B comparing an HK 525 vs. a Denon 1082 (3802 equivalent). The HK was definitely the better at reproducing the... -
I’ll start this off by saying that I will never build another system without a wave guide. If there are any downsides, I don’t see them.
This system uses 2 RS180 midbass and one XT25tg60 (double magnet) in a wave guide crossed actively at 1700hz. The XT25/60 is superior to the single...16 September 2013, 10:36 Monday -
For those of you that need a push to try wave-guides…..
For reference, in the past two years I’ve had active and active/passive systems configured in WWMTM, WWMT, WMTM, WMT and had them in ported, sealed, and in dipole configurations. Also had some ported line arrays….

I am in the process of selecting components and speakers for a new HT. I haven't selected a 7.1 processor yet, but am thinking of the following setup:
Room - 19' x 15' x 8.5' (converted 2-car garage well sound insulated)
(2) RMB1075 total 10 channels 200W per into 4 ohms

I visited two high end AV dealers today to make my final decision as to which pair of speakers I would buy for the stereo system that I'm putting together. This sytem will be used primarily for playing LPs and will initially consist of the following: Aragon 24K II preamp with phono stage, or a Classe...
