What is the difference sonically between DT Mythos 3 with 4 1/2" woofer/radiators and DT ProCenter2000 with 5.25" woofer/radiators and deeper cabinet?

I spoke with tech support at Definitive Technology. They told me that, despite 5.25" speakers in the ProCenter 2000, that the Mythos Three was a step up in sound. They said I needed to go to the CS-8040HD or Mythos Ten for something better than the Mythos Three.

I had the ProCenter2000 for a number of years and really liked it. My problem was it is very large, and every time I would look for a TV stand, I could never find one that I liked to properly accommodate it. I finally bought the Mythos3 because of the good reviews and its smaller size. I tried both of them while I still had both and at the time could not discern a huge difference so I decided to sell the ProCenter2000. For me the Mythos has been the better choice for the above reasons.

Looks like the 6000 is longer (lengthwise) and has 4 speakers, 40 watts each, and no bluetooth. The 5000 is shorter, has 2 speakers, 80 watts each, and bluetooth, also, subwoofer is slightly smaller.

Specs can be found on MTX's page and many other sites. Look under "Specifications" or "Details" (Reference: Google)W=10", H=10", D=21.25"https://www.mtx.com/rt8pt-amplified-subwoofer-enclosure#product-detailshttp://www.crutchfield.com/S-5EThBbuZrM0/p_236RT8PT/MTX-RT8PT.html

Because this center has a horn driver it has a higher sensitivity than speakers with dome tweeters. I would recommend the Bic 350 Watt 6.5IN 2 Way Bookshelf as they have the same horn configuration. This center is spectacular though.

For 2.0 the towers are 3 way speakers so they will work best. For 2.1 you can get away with the bookshelf speakers because u have a sub. The bookshelf still do produce a good low

I have done quiet a bit of research between the 830's and the 820's, including listening to them side by side in a retail store. From listening side by side, it was nearly impossible to discern much difference between the two. I believe the best way to determine which set to purchase is to define how you plan to arrange them. Essentially, with the Studio L line, JBL created different speaker configurations for either wall mounting or non wall mounting. If you intend to wall mount, the 820's are the way to go as they are thinner and have an additional speaker in the front (4-way), and they are designed spread the sound over a wider area. For home theater use, they are meant to be matched with the LC-2 center channel speaker (also thinner, wall mountable, and 4-way). If you do not intend to wall mount, the 830's are the way to go as they are deeper and have a rear port for best performance when positioned slightly away from a wall or cabinet. They are meant to be matched with the LC-1 center channel, which is also much deeper than the LC-2 and is 3-way/rear ported. Some people have even tried to mix/match by using the L830's as front L/R channels and the L820's as rear surround channels. JBL also offers the L810's, which are specifically meant for wall mounting as surround channels, since they are 3-way/front ported.

the 3 way vs the 4 way won't be a dramatic difference, but your treble (highs) or maybe mids will probably be better, but the bass shouldn't be affected any differently, and the 1/2 to 3/4 is a difference in the mounting brackets not the size of the sub

The 301's are 3 inches deeper the the 201's, height and width are about the same. This translates to a much richer/deeper listening experience. The 301's project much better than the 201's. I own both, spend the extra money and get the 301's. You won't regret it.

These have the same size woofers and tweeters as the R50's but add a 4" mid-range. IMO, not a big upgrade, but more of a minor upgrade.

Size, they are about 3.5 inches taller, depth and width are the same and a little more power from the amplifier. The low end sound is a little more fuller/reinforced compared to the T20s even though the frequency response is the same rolling off around 60hz and bottoming out around 45-50hz in term of audibility(verified using a tone generator). If you already own the T20s I wouldn't say the sound difference justified upgrading, but if you don't, you cannot go wrong going with the T40s as this is clearly the better of the two models.

Both sound great. In my opinion the HK sounds slightly better. The power output difference is not what it seams (90w vs 75w), I'd wager if properly tested they are equal in power or the HK actually has a little more. HK is very conservative in their watt ratings and push higher amps than most. The HK seams to match well with the warm sound I like and my Paradigm speakers (older models w/ silk tweeters). The HK will be easier to set up if you don't have much experience. The Denon has more surround processing modes that you may or may not like. Sound is very subjective and depends on your room acoustics, your speakers, and most importantly your preferences. If you are using a Blu ray player that bitstreams the new uncompressed surround formats (Dolby Digital HD, DTS Master Audio), then they will both decode them for you. If you use a PS3 remember that it can't bitstream these HD audio formats, but must decode them internally and send them via LPCM. If you need a good speaker set check out the Energy Take Five Classics sold on Amazon for less than $600 last I checked. You are going to be happy with either unit. Good luck! ps. The included iPod dock with the HK is a really nice free addition if you have an iPod. If I had chosen the Denon, I would have bought their model dock eventually.

I would go for the Beyerdynamic Velour Padded Earcushions for DT250, DT280 those would fit and Velours are more comfortable in my opinion, If your going the velour path. The bass would be softer and the mids/highs to be more on the brighter side. Soundstage should be the same, But I'm thinking all for comforts sake.

Fosgate speakers make an excellent up grade. Not easy to install. I have the 6.5".I don't think 1/2 will make a difference. Get an amp & subwoffers

Thank you for your inquiry. As we do not maintain technical specs for the competitions' speaker systems, this is a hard question to quantify. We can tell you that along with PolkAudio and Paradigm, Klipsch is one of our main competitors, and as such, our products will stand up in comparison with performance, quality, and craftsmanship. Our flagship XL series has been highlighted on sites like Audioholics and CNet, with rave reviews. Fluance uses Audio-grade MDF wood (medium density fiberboard) to construct our cabinets and high end components to fabricate our drivers and crossover units. They provide the best option for both music and home theater sound reproduction. The down-firing passive subwoofers in the towers provide you with an omni-directional distribution of bass frequencies that lend to a deeper immersion into the entertainment, while the neodymium tweeters will provide the crisp high-end frequency that you would expect with a quality speaker system. We invite you to try them so you too can see and hear what others have already enjoyed.

This headset is based on DT770. As far as music goes, it has a different sound signature than DT880. This headset will have more pronounced bass and recessed mids, while DT880 is the most neutral Beyer on this tier. If you want to read more, there's a great article on head-fi called "Sonic Differences between DT770-DT990 models": http://www.head-fi.org/t/513393/guide-sonic-differences-between-dt770-dt990-models-more . For gaming, this headset is likely to be more "fun" (immersive).

What this has over the 350. 1. Decodes DTS-MA sound internally (so your receiver doesn't need to handle it). 2. 7.1 analog outputs (so you can output lossless audio to an older receiver). 3. Profile 2.0 out of the box (no firmware update required). If you don't have a super-modern audio system, this player can actually be cheaper because you don't have to upgrade your sound system to get the same sound quality. Spend an extra hundred now to save several hundred later.

Why match a powerful 12", 300W-460W subwoofer with a weak, small 4", 80W bookshelf speakers? Doesn't make sense. I'm getting the BIC FH-65B 6.5" 10W -175W, 96db speakers for my PSW505. If you're going to go cheap and stick with the SP-BS22-LR Andrew Jones then you should get the PSW10 for half the price ($95) of the PSW505. They are a better power and price match.
