Well I’ve had a few days to play with my new sub and I must say I am very impressed.
The amount of power this thing has is amazing, and it's so much smaller than I originally thought.
I must have the gain on about 30% and it still rocks my flat. Due to considerations about neighbours (not the TV proggy) I'm really gutted that I cant really push it. My next AV purchase will be a detached house with large garage I think
As for listening to it I swear I actually got shell shock from the beach scene on Saving Private Ryan. Very happy with it for Cinema duties, not sure about music as I only have MP3 source at the moment. Did play the DTS Coldcut track from the B&W DVD from the bargain forums and was blown away though. When the double bass kicks in the warmth of the bass is fantastic.
FWIW I’ve set the crossover to bypassed (my amps default is 90), and the phase to 1. I’m going to have a play with the phase this weekend to see if it makes any difference.
The misses has been on holiday for 10 days, since she’s been gone I’ve taken delivery of the Orbs, HOSS stands, and the XLS200, she’s going to get a shock when she gets back
