How should I set up REL G1sub woofer
Trens, I own a G1 and it should work seamlessly with your 802D's. Here is what I would do assuming you don't have an SPL meter:1. First listen to some tracks with your 802D's and see if you are getting the unpleasant bass frequency response. If yo... 
Avalon Opus Ceramique
I think the Opus Ceramique sensitivity should be very similar to the Ascendant II. Probalby rangning from 87-89 dB. The results of your current dynamics and SPL should be similar. The Opus Ceramique will be more refined however and you should get ...

Sounds like great fun Syntax! I look forward to your reports and pics and thank you for including us! 
Anyone try Synergistic Research PHT...
Sbayne, it was my friends purchase and I think he will be returning the PHT. We just simply couldn't notice a difference switching back and forth, each of us blinded, between with and without the Blue Velvet PHT. If anything, although both of us s...

I think blinded listening removes a great deal of bias. And I agree with everyone, bias is bidirectional, for liking or disliking sound. The money back guarantee (it was my friends purchase of the PHT) helps removing bias as there is nothing to lo...

I've been watching this thread in amazement and quite surprised in the emotional outcries it caused, which was unintended on my part. Well, I tried the blue velvet PHT today. The device weighed around 0.015g. I heard no discernible difference at a...

RMAF 2014 Observations
Dev - I honestly didn't like the Wilson/VTL room that much. It did all the 'audiophile' things right. It was very dynamic and detailed. But to my ears it was bright with a thin sounding midrange. I can how many would like it - tons of slam and dyn...

But the girls were easily 'best of show' in front of the Polymer room. After you went inside it was a letdown though.

Larry, I respectfully disagree. I think it is actually very subjective at times. And it depends on our listening preferences we gave developed over time.I thought the two big Focal rooms were bad. Certainly bad for the price point. In both rooms t...

Will do Goose. I hope to either visit the Omaha dealer in Nov or early Dec. If not possible then, it might be late March/April. 
RMAF 2014 Observations
Completely agree with Dev, 100%! 
RMAF 2014 Observations
Goose - as a matter of fact, the Rockport Avior was exactly what I had hoped would be at RMAF. Alas, it wasn't nor was any other Rockport loudspeaker. My nearest dealer is in Omaha - around a 6 hour drive from Tulsa. I am planning on going there s... 
RMAF 2014 Observations
Mapman - Daedalus and Avalon's do sound quite a bit different. Different sonic goals by the designers is what I would gather. The Daedalus in the Modwright room wasn't very transparent and sounded 'thick' if you will. I was convinced it might be r...
