It's terrible and hurts my ears. And all the fans of MTM are sadly deluded....Leave a comment:

I tend to agree that crossing the W18s higher than maybe 1.5kHz is asking for difficulties. I cross mine at 800Hz LR4 to the horn, so the SEAS resonant...Leave a comment:

What Bill said. Also, if it is quietly chuffing, you may start to hear it if you move the port to the front. Rear or bottom porting has that advantag...Leave a comment:

Thanks! I know NASA uses huge horns to acoustically bombard rocket parts for testing. His horn reminded me of one of those horns, evidently not entirely...Leave a comment:

Well I can't fault his choice of woofers; I use the W18E001s in my system, a pair above and a pair below the horn. For those interested in the Thor, there's...Leave a comment:

Jeff Bagby opines that the dip in power response is actually a good thing for the MTM. I have also found that a slight dip at the crossover makes for...Leave a comment:
