Soliloquy 6.2i vs VS vr4jr , Zu Druid & Usher 6371
But yeah don't make a sideways move to Druids with what you guys have, and Maybe I should have said this, but I am not a Druid fan after hearing them so much, but the Definition is a whole other world, those are the speaker for me not the druid fo... 
Soliloquy 6.2i vs VS vr4jr , Zu Druid & Usher 6371
Aktchi, sorry I forgot to say I think the new system you are refering too from 6 Moons is the Definition PRO, it is the same cost as the definition 1.5 however removes the Internal Amplifier, so you must supply your own electronic crossover and Am... 
Soliloquy 6.2i vs VS vr4jr , Zu Druid & Usher 6371
I understand, but that was not my point, Definitions use Subwoofers on the back, so what else would they do to satisfy no subwoofer anyway that you are asking between the Druid and active Definition? I mean unless they run an active sub system wit...

By the way don't forget, How many In-betweens can you really get with a SIngle driver full range, no crossover system?In multi driver systems its a whole different world, Okay lets offer a Monitor 2way, Okay lets kick it up to a D'Appolito 2way fo...

Tvad & Aktchi, I see the Gap in pricing is a decision for some that something is missing in the model structure, but they have already filled that gap.It's simple they seem to have wanted to provide the biggest bang for the buck on a SMALL and... 
McIntosh & Maggies - am I hooked-up the best way?
Use Cheap Depot wire to run the Low freq. section, 12 gauge copper will be the same sound as just about anything honestly for the low end in this case... Put both your amps back in stereo mode, one will be used for your left channel, and one for t... 
Klipsch KLF-20 vs. RF-7 speakers
I have owned the 7's and use to sell the 20's... The 7's are a 2 way, and not the best balanced speaker, they are brighter in general than the 20's... The 20's are a 3 way, for a used price the 20's would probably be a better deal, both speakers m... 
Best picture from an under $400 DVD player
Yep the Oppo is king, but if you need to run it Via component Video stay away from the oppo and you will get the best picture in that case from a Denon, most of them are excellent and very close in performance, but to get one close to equal to the... 
What makes a High Efficiency Speaker
Efficiency = how much work it takes to give a certain result.Example a more "Standard" efficiency speaker at around 90 db rating with 100 watt amp, will give a certain output DB at certain Gain level(volume)Now a 93 db speaker will Give you the sa... 
speaker efficiencey?? Starting point...? 92db??
I see where you are confused, and so am I... I kinda combined the Effectiveness of it Vs. what could happen via difference's in Db ratings, which was part 2 of the first question.. So I did over do it and should have been a little more clear on th... 
speaker efficiencey?? Starting point...? 92db??
There is nothing complicated about a 92 db speaker possibly falling within perfect range of a basic surround receiver not needing to be adjusted, as he stated a few speakers were dead on without moving channel levels. 92 db happened to make this o... 
speaker efficiencey?? Starting point...? 92db??
Well average efficiency I would say is somewhere in the 88db to 92-93db,, anything above is just gravy and starts to get into the super speaker range. But with your receiver showing you that you did not have to change anything on a couple channels... 
I know this is heresy, but...
What is you preamp right now?? I will suggest you a good route, and in general the easiest, and what I found the best sound with never distortion or added color at loud levels that I could ever hear...You could sell your current pre, Buy a mcintos... 
Are Def techs 7000 series real competitors?
Well I had a passive pair cause a lot of def techs are with built in subs from memory, I had a pair of bp2000's I think they were, and this was about 8 years ago. These were bi-polar style design and built well... Okay never worked out very good i...
