Redman's sax sounds exquisite and never etched - cymbals have a transparent shimmer - bass is phenomenal - l would love to hear two of these in stereo mode - I never heard any reflection issues.

Hey, Anthem!

I'm so glad to read that! That sure sounds like the SCXXL SQ I have experienced!

I sure hope you find a path to making it sing as a center speaker in your Anthem/Emotiva set up also!!!

Rick

Anthem,

If you were closer, I'd bring the coffee to your place for a chance to listen to that Decware Tori MKIV. I'm glad the SCXL is sounding great. I've often hoped GET would release a tower with a similar 2.5 way design. Have you tried anything with vocals yet? Any sibilance or was that resolved with the crossover setting?

Cheers,

T Cobe

Anthem, amen to what T Cobe said.. I'd also love to hear the Torii and SCXXL making beautiful music together!! I'll bet the Torii delivers every nuance, every gorgeous, perfectly shaped note. It IS a long way to bring a cup of coffee....

Please let us know how your new crossover, HF settings go with the SCXXL back in center channel role, playing Blu-ray through the Anthem/Emotiva.

Enjoy!

Rick

Whoa, no way to relate to that coffee talk, did not even know that was what it was for a while there, thought
it was some new drug the way you guys were going on. Ha
I only have the SC X, not XL nor XXL but I would be willing to bet my paycheck that any problems you are
having with it, sibilance or whatever is NOT the speaker's fault. Stress. no way!
Those -dB from reference figures you guys are sharing are no where near absolutes, not even apples and apples,
since we all have differing powered amps. When I watch a movie or listen to music when nobody is here to complain
I cannot even think of -6 dB my system would be cracking walls. BUT I would be shocked IF any of my GEt speakers would
be sweating or stressing. My ears and house don't want to find out though. Just sayin' reference is for theaters.
We can't compare that way, so a good sound pressure meter is a good idea. Did not think of getting mine out that night
when my friend brought MI5.
Hoping you get it worked out.
P. S. the BEST cup of coffee I ever had was just Folgers (or something) and water, with a coupla egg shells, boiled up in the coffee can on top of a wood fire in the Rocky Mountains of Wyoming early in a cold pre-hunting morning.
God Bless,

Well guys

Did some playing around today. Upped the crossover to 100 hz - Downed the HF 12db - replaced the Military copper/silver speaker wire with copper - replaced the Clarity XLR with XLR Audioquest (cheetah) - sounds better but still not where it needs to be.

Replaced the Emotiva xpa - 1 with an Anthem MCA 50 - no real change, so set the Emotiva back up. For now I'm going to live with this setup, and as the winter whittles away, I'll have the Pro's out of Wichita see if they can help me out.

I had a chance before lunch to listen to another cd with just the SCXXL...Acoustic Alchemy / AART - In my opinion this where the SCXXL shines - M - U - S - I - C....once again i was very impressed.

Wayne: I respect what you are saying, just don't agree with a few of your statements. I still Love You!
