Well, if I was on any other forum, I'd say move the speakers and try headphones, but you already know that. Sounds like you need both more bass, and room treatments to reduce the overhang. I'd say, move to the other room.

There's album art?

You may want to try moving them around, and moving around your listening position. Try putting them right in the corners, or try putting yourself right in the corners. My Special 25's go down to 30 Hz, and that's plenty bass for me, and I'm a bass-head.

Burrito Brothers Burrito.

And that (The Body) is my favourite episode. I agree with you about Marsters being the best actor. Whedon really put him to the test, over and over again.

Sounds like you've already decided. That said, I'd keep it myself, just because I like toys.

Yeah, we kind of went off on a bit of a tangent there, didn't we?

No, phase switch I found to be inadequate. MHO, I think subwoofers need to have continuous phase controls to seemlessly blend in with the speakers at that crucial crossover region. When I had the following setup: MSB Link DAC III -> MF A3 pre -> Sunfire True Sub Jr. -> MF A3 power -> Spendor S3/5 ...I didn't find the sub truly disappeared until I put it between the pre and the power and dialed in the exact right value. I realize it's not really a phase control any more, but rather a micro-delay, but IMHO, that's preferable. Despite what most would perceive as a radical difference between the Sunfire and the Spendors -- and the fact that I was listening to the Spendors in nearfield, and the sub was a good yard away on my right -- the sub absolutely disappeared.

Exactly.

Do you have a REL, Mr. I-love-my-Thiels?

In the "recent" column on the right, this thread is showing up as, "Anyone tried the new butt...". EDIT: Great, and now I'm the last to have replied.

I'd seen it before, but yes, it's great.

I agree with Tkam -- doesn't appear to be anything special, and doesn't have that valuable (to me) phase control. I say, go SVS.

Brush your teef brush your teef brush your goddamn teef...

Yeah, don't think of it as boom, think of it as overhead.

I added a link in your original post that hopefully might make this clearer.

No, that's what I'm saying -- my thought was totally misguided. I.E. never mind.

And here I was, thinking you had some long-documented hatred towards Old Bay seasoning which I had totally missed.

Ah.

I'll wander off and do some research on them. Can you use them with headphones?

Yeah -- what is it you're trying to accomplish again? I know you mentioned in that other thread that you weren't entirely happy with your 22Ls' bottom end, but what about it are you trying to fix? Personally, I wouldn't want a sub that you didn't have a continuous phase control. Now, I realize it's not technically a phase control, but rather a micro-delay, but it accomplishes what I want to accomplish. Does the T1 have this? I know the following have it: Sunfire, SVS, Krell; which is why I'm leaning towards SVS and Sunfire (can't afford the Krell; don't know if I need it's unearthliness). Also, I suppose if your receiver has that kind of thing, or if you have some kind of outboard device to do so, then you don't need it, and with the talent here, I'm sure someone could put something together for you. Or possibly some sort of 3rd-party device. It was only with that feature in my 2.1 system, the sub truly disappeared.
