WOW Ednaz, good report!!!!
But you said something that surprised me though. I have run both the T 2s and then the Ones as well, and my experience on the bass has been rather different. Perhaps because I use the LFE inputs?????
I have the bass dial setting on the T 2s at around 9:30, 9-10 anyway. NEVER more than 10.
And the Triton Ones are set for 12:00, little less or possibly a little more, depends on how frisky I am feeling. ha ha
My room is rather smallish, particularly for the Ones. And I do use DIRAC room correction particularly to tame some bass nodes in the room. Just thinking out loud here, I guess the Ones are more efficient, play louder than the T 2s in general (my experience anyway) so I am listening a little bit less power input, MAYBE (not sure because they are so sweet I tend to listen a little louder now with them). I am rambling, trying to figure out why your bass overloads the room at such a low dial setting on the Ones? Why we have such different settings, experiences?
Too many variables to really figure it out I guess, and you are probably on a different side of the world than I am. 120VAC compared to 240VAC???? Just kidding.
Anyway, you and I are both happy with our systems, that is the main thing, God Bless,
Wayne

I used to have the T2 amp set at a bit past half way. On the T1, I'm probably down around the third or fourth from totally off. Not even close to half way.

Best I can figure out, it's related to the amount of surface area on the radiators. At an event near me where Sandy spoke (the T1 intro) I asked him how much of the speaker energy was coming from the radiators, how much from the speakers themselves. His answer surprised me - "on the T1, maybe 80%, maybe more." Then I thought about the square inches of surface moving air around... The differences in square inches of surface between the T2 and T1 is pretty big... not to mention the amp power difference. Think about 80% of the sound energy now having that much more area to move air. I'm not noticing that I'm setting volumes on my system much different, since the mid and upper radiators are moving the same amount of air, but the amount of air that the T1 punch around is huge. There may also be some room coupling thing that didn't happen with the T2 surface area but does with the T1 surface area. That's not my particular area of physics, but I know enough to know that room coupling (which makes the bass boomy) is surface area specific, plus room shape, size, and composition specific.

I use a "pure direct" listening mode for 2 channel, which is where I struggled to get rid of boomy room effects. For 5 channel, I do use room correction. I don't get picture frame rattling when I'm listening to two channel (because I kept reducing the woofer power), but when the mothership hovers over Los Angeles in Independence Day, the T1 derange every picture hung in our family room. So I'm using room correction for movie mode, not for 2 channel mode.

Hey Ednaz,
Last night I was listening to some new CDs that just came in. And normally I don't listen to POS, poor old stereo, 2 channel, except in the earphones when exercising. These CDs need to be ripped to files so I can dl them to my DAP for walking. But wanted to check them out first.
And as I was listening, I thought about you and what you have written. I have my Ones bass set at around 11:30 to 12 straight up. And it is GREAT. I was listening with DIRAC room correction on, and I was wondering, so I went with Reference Stereo, direct with no room correction. Whoa, that did not take long in my smallish home theater to put my room correction right back on!!!!!
OK, yeah a purist approach to music says it has to be pure stereo, no messin' with the sound, BUT my room messes with the sound a lot and needs to be corrected. Then my bigger bass is perfect, the room nodes are handled/tamed/corrected for.
Pretty much anyway.
Hope this helps, happy listening,
God bless,
Wayne
