Anybody have experience with "Janis sub woofers"


I have had a pair of powered 12" Janis subs in my dedicated two channel system for 20 years. The embarrassing truth is I don't really understand them,(never did) They each have a crossover /100 watt amp. They are crossed over at 100Hz and are are set up and in use for Right and left Channel connection. They where built in New York City by a company called John Marovski Audio. The instructional manual that came with them makes me dizzy,(it doesn't take much)It talks about, and offers settings for phase correctness etc. I can hear a change when I switch them off, but I don't know if I'm getting the most out of them. I would appreciate any council offered.

Thanks Justlisten. Yes mine are W1's as well. It seems your saying that they are not meant to call any attention to themselves, in the same way that "super tweeters" operate. Well I suppose that's whats happening. It could be I'm reacting to having two large pieces of stereo equipment hooked up to my system with controls and knobs that are (in spite of the users manual)not in my control or understandable to me. Of all the equipment I've bought,traded upgraded to etc over the years, these seem most like "the kings new clothes".I've also read in this forum that a stereo set up in sub woofers is on the wrong path. I'm wondering if I should re-configure them to operate on the right channel only?
Thanks Stanwal.Very helpfull.The Sumiko site is an excellent resource on my quest to better understand my subs.
