Congrats!
They look great.
Out.
love the pictures and detailed analysis, thanks for your efforts
the specs on the 400 seem somewhat similar to the 120PII. I have been pleased with mine considering the purchase price and ability to match with my mains
one on each side, here is a pic of the left side with grill covers on, I run an ACI Titan II sub for the real low frequencies as well
Well, now that you finally got them together..let us know what you think...
Congratulations Mike!
Those really do look wonderful... I am sure they will be capable of scaring the sh*t out of you.
Maybe some dark curtains or sonex on that cinder block wall?

Quite a difference from the ported boxes; took me a bit to adjust. No lack of grunt, though. The standard PS1400, as per my recollection of a year ago, is that they are better in upper bass, but the sub1500's have a foundation that the PS1400 does not. The 2245H's in this setup were the most effortless, but the sub1500's do most of the 2245 tasks without the real estate requirements. Just listened to music DVD's and misc. tonight; will dial in with good music CD's over the next week.

Maybe. Will have to evaluate the return on effort. Picture doesn't need the curtains, that is for sure. Too bad audio is less manageable than video. I can manage a video result that is easily in the top percentiles, and while the PS already are better than 98.294 of the rest of the world, the variables are not nearly as controllable as mere light.........Congratulations Mike!

Great looking speakers. What is the cu.ft. of the sub1500 boxes?
Is the overall height of the PT800/sub1500 taller than when the PT800s are mounted to the PS1400s?
Way Cool.....Congrads Mike.
1. What active crossover are you using and what is the freq at which they are crossed
2. what amps are you using to run these puppies...
BTW.. how's your friend doing with his PS series after the last year and half? Tell him I said hi..
as you get it tuned in the next week, comments on the sound would be great.
I would agree with Widget on the drapes. When Russ and his wife ( Rusnzha) came to my house the second time and we were playing with the PS series I placed one of Whit's ( My german Shepherd) large padded beds behind one of the PS stacks against the wall. Russ said he heard a difference.. I didn't investigate it but it did make a difference.. Maybe when you get time place some throw rugs or something up and see what it does for your hears.
Well, that really looks exciting and after having had to wait so long I'm sure your a very happy camper
enjoy...
I am using the AVR for crossover duty, with two IRD monoblock amps for sub duty. I would imagine that back wall treatment would help. I'll add that to the bottom of mine 397 item to-do list.
The stock unit is listed as 19 inches plus spikes; this one measures 20 inches and no spikes. The dimensions overall are quite close to the stock one. The beefy build factor is there.
Glad to see you're taking it seriously...
Oh, what's your crossover Freq?
