I only agree that I should be shopping in other places than future shop.
I like there no Q asked return policy.
and they always make me feel like they have the best deals.
hence I simply go to Future Shop, for washer dryer, videoLCD TV's, Home Theatre Gear.. and just say sell me the very best you have here.
The net is showing me a whole new world of HT gear though..
Now..
After painfully going back and forth downstairs with my wife switcing 2ch stereo with Bluray movies, between Rti8 and rti10 ... we have decided to return the 10's.
My wife kept saying the 8's sound better ,and 8db louder with SPL meter, not quite as deep but MUCH punchier in the Mid...then asked How much $$ do you have to spend to make the 10's sound as good..I said just another thousand dear.
Then I thought???? i'm just going to keep throwing money at them trying to get back my sound I'm missing..So for free I hooked up my 8's again and said, ah there it is.
Now I'll go buy a VP and some buttkickers or crowsons. with the savings.
Rti10's are missing something with that one mid bass driver removed.
The (2) 6.5" drivers on the 8's are a higher and lower frq. mixed that Over power the 10's By a LONG shot, the 2 7" mini subs(sounding) drivers do add a dimension missing by the 8's.. but for Movies along with my SVS.. 8's are just too Punchy to discard.
So...No Amp for now.
Off to the buttkicker threads.
The ultimate would be to add 1 or 2, 7" woofers/bass drivers to compliment my 8's and bi-wire the amp to both..? build custom enclosures to sit beside the 8's , and a crossover to cut off at 1khz. ??? NO experience here..
