Did anyone hear the DSW ?

I still cannot find any info related to frequency response at the Meridian site. Only dimensions and that it has a 600 watts amplifier.

I am. I have two JL F113s to support my DSP 8Ks. The JLs are handling up to 30 Hz and I have them roll off from there. I have them because the 8Ks are positioned for the best stereo image in my room which is not the same as the best position for bass reproduction.

Bill

This is one of my future goals � a great sub. I did look into the Danley DTS sub but they wouldn�t ship without the wooden panels, which was a shame as I am a joiner and shipping boards around the world, to me, wasn�t a good idea. Hopefully, when I am ready Simon has done all the hard work for me!

That's quite the collection you have there!

So- would you recommend this setup for a home theater system, where the JLs are handling the ".1" bass only, or would you recommend a different route?

Bass is bass. This setup works well for movies and music. No matter what your other equipment is; I would recommend getting two subs over one so that you can smooth out the peaks and valleys in the low frequency response of your room. You need to find out where your main speakers start to roll off in order to set your crossover properly. If you're happy with the bass extension of your main speakers, you can still use two subs for the LFE channel. I really depends on your room.

I understand there may not be many opinions to offer on the DSW as it is still so new but am disappointed no-one has chipped in with support for M's SW range which are more expensive than the JL offering. Are M really that uncompetitive in the sub market, especially in an all M set-up?

Just thinking ahead to my system expansion options where I'd love to keep it all M...
