I've just upgraded the forum software to Xenforo 2.0. Please let me know if you have any problems with it. I'm still working on installing styles... coming soon.
Acoustics isn't a new science. I find it tough to understand why these folks spending massive amounts of cash on gear refuse to embrace treating their rooms. At a certain point the gaines they all strive for on crazy upgrades probably couldn't be heard anyway in the echo chambers that are their...
Yes, 99% of all my tapes were copies LP's. The prerecorded tapes nearly always sucked. I always found that to a point you needed to use quality tapes. Studios were never going to do that for mass market recordings.
There was a tape produced by memorex that I recall being among my favorites. You...
The best sound I ever got back in the day was reel to reel. After that was LP. With that said a good quality deck, tape, along with a 3db expander offered some very good sounding copies. Cassettes were not all bad. Not much use for them today but they could sound damn good.

Agreed. Especially since your just looking for lows for the sake of movie affects. If trying to tame room issues for music listening then it would make more sense. Of course only if your willing to place the subs in the correct spots for the job.
You may get more of what you want from a couple...
You've got a good look going on in your family room. Since I dont ever see you really doing any critical listening with LP's your choice makes perfect sense.
Not sure which way I'm going to go, DIY Helmholtz or some store bought solution. After I measure the rooms response I'll know better, with Franklin's help what's best.
