Topic: rear firing tweeters

to be honest i'm not sure what break-in they needed.  i moved somewhere during the break-in period so the room sound changed

what about the low end extension scott? they're rated pretty far down, what do you think?

the idea of ditching the sub and still being able to run a speaker of that size is very tempting.

I do like the balance that the B&W (bright) sound matched with the tubes gives me... I'm a bit worried that the VSA's are too laid back sounding for my amp.

People usually characterize ProAc as laid back...  But my ProAc's sound MUCH better with tubes than SS.  No way is it too much of a good thing, IMO.  I came from B&W N805's, FWIW...

yea, they are rated down to 22hz if I remember correctly.
and after you listen to them, you will know that it ain't bullshit.

same w/the VR4 rated down to 16hz.
those things go places I can't tollerate.

My Snell Type Ds have a rear firing tweeter...adds quite a bit to the depth of the soundstage in my opinion.
