    Can Bose ACM10 II Base be swapped with Bose ACM5 II Base?

    I tried to visualize and even draw your room by your description but couldn't. Maybe you could draw your room out and post here. I sure wouldn't put the front main speakers up that high, being within a foot of the ceiling. The front right and left speakers should be to the sides of the...

    Can Bose ACM10 II Base be swapped with Bose ACM5 II Base?

    You want your front 2 main speakers equal distance from main listening position, forward and to the sides. Your tv and center channel speaker should be right in the center of the 2 speakers with center channel speaker below or above television. If the 2 front speakers aren't equal distance...

    Can Bose ACM10 II Base be swapped with Bose ACM5 II Base?

    For stereo presentations you want the front speakers pointed toward the listeners for imaging and soundstage. I have my surround speakers mounted facing out because a diffused sound field can help with surround. You really dont want them directly aimed at you like you do for the front speakers...

    My speakers have stand offs so they don't sit directly on wall. The ES10s do as well with the power port being the stand off. Good luck with all of this, hope it goes well for you.

    As far as speaker mounts, I'd have to do research just like you to find what's best. I will say when I mounted my 4 infinity speakers to the wall, I used dry wall anchors because I didn't have a stud accessible where I needed to put the speakers. There is anchors that have weight ratings that...

    BTW, the biggest part of wall mounting is to be sure the wall/screw anchors can support the weight. The person doing the install should know how to properly do this for the material that the wall is made of.

    You have a complex subwoofer which is unlike most. It does its own calibrations. A subwoofer can go in the low bass with a limit. The sub also has a limit on how high in the bass it can go. The maker says it can go up really high in the bass at 200Hz but they limit that with it functions to...

    I've been trying to help you. I honestly think those Minx cubes sound terrible. They don't even have a tweeter, let alone a dome tweeter. I think the Definitive Technology 6D, Polk TL1 system, or probably even a Klipsch satellite system or any other true 2 way speaker would sound better than...

    I heard the Cambridge Minx speakers against the Polk TL1 speakers on crutchfields speaker compare app with JBL tune 600BTNC headphones and thought the minx sound bright and tinny compared to TL1 but that is my opinion. Also the Minx may have a hard time matching up with another sub other than...

    Those are small compared to my 10" tall Infinity P143 (4" woofer) I have mounted on the side wall for surround soeakers.

    Amazon was selling the SPL-100 for $399 so you were able to get the Martin Logan for the same $400. That's one hek of a deal since the Martin Logan is usually around $699. However even at the higher price, it's a good subwoofer with features justifying the higher cost. As far as OLED only...

    Thanks. Dont think you can go wrong with Martin Logan sub! One nice system, enjoy!

    Just out of curiosity, did you get to compare the Klipsch R-120sw against the Klipsch SPL-100 subwoofer and what did you think? How about comparing them against the Martin Logan subwoofer and your thoughts. Our 4 Best Buys around us don't have a good audition room. Things just aren't hooked up...

    Nice system! I've read good things about the Martin Logan Dynamo Subwoofers. Definitely a higher end subwoofer that goes low in the bass. I think you'll be happy with the match between the ES10's 4" woofers and the ES35s 3" woofers. They are closer matched than the ES30s 5-1/4" woofers. Plus...

    Great where you can compare subs. The R-120SW is sold and fulfilled by Amazon for $349. You have to go in the Other sellers drop down list to find Amazon. You then can have them price match. To save money, you could get the ES30 for $100 cheaper. Good luck!

    As far as comparing the ES10s against the DT Pro Cinema 800s, I haven't heard them so it's up to you. If you go to crutchfields website, they have built into the website a sound comparison tool for speakers. You can compare the ES10s against the Pro Cinema 800s if you have one of the required...

    Everything should be compatible with the Yamaha receiver, no reason it should not be if the Yamaha receiver is operating correctly. I considered the Klipsch SPL-100 as well since it is selling for $399. I talked to a guy who has both the R-120SW and the SPL-100 in his system and he prefers the...

    Your right, the Pro Center 1000 will likely not match. I read a lot of misinformation on this site and others about people mismatching speakers and feel that it is OK for home theater. It's not because it breaks up the sound field with a speaker that changes the tonal characteristic of the sound...

    That's a great price for the R-12swi. I bought it at my Costco for $280 and returned because the finish laminate scratches very easily and looked like crap. I bought shoe polish to fix it but I shouldn't had to. It scratched just from rubbing my finger across it. Very disappointing. I then...

    Well I replaced my Polk 8" TL1600 subwoofer with a Klipsch R-100SW for $259 and it really sounds great. It goes very low for it's small size. In fact it's only .5" taller and 3.5" deeper than the small Polk 8" subwoofer and the widths are the same. I just saw a review on it and it's measured...

    The Pro Cinema 400, 600, 800, and 1000 systems are all discontinued BUT the Pro Cinema 800 and 1000 main speakers can still be purchased as well as their appropriate center channel speaker. The bundled system is discontinued. The same thing with the Polk TL1600 system I have. It is discontinued...

    It's to bad you don't have a family member that's good with electronics, that could help you. I setup systems for family and friends all the time. The Pro Cinema 6D replaced the Pro Cinema 600. Previously you had a Pro Cinema 400, 600, 800, and 1000 system. THose systems have been...

    No, you can not use the bass module from the Acoustimass 5 series II for the Acoustimass 10 Series II. These system are pretty much a Theater in a box setup an107141300/Manuals/018/018AM10IIB.PDFd meant to only work with themselves. The Acoustimass modules have all the crossovers and such built...
