Greetings to all.
I am trying to put together a HT system while incorporating some components from my past stereo life. I have a new Denon AVR-2802 and a Panasonic DVD player. I haven’t yet gotten all the speakers together that I’ll need for HT but would like to ask a question. I have seen many postings here that discuss sub-woofers to enhance bass reproduction. My 2 stereo speakers are Altec Lansing A7-500 VOTT’s. Is there a way to lever the bottom end of these behemoths so that sub-woofers wouldn’t be needed? What would be the best way to utilize these in a home theater scenario?
Follow Ups:
First you will have to cut the effeciency by 13dB to get them to be a 30 to 15K device and the room must be large. You need to be 22 feet away.Some wild woffermanagement, aperodic dampnic of the large port , taming the big 65 to 90 hZ region and general effecency killing measures to flatten the response.
My guess would be do a shade of this..and add a pair of low eff 40hz down subs. Just to cover the bottom. The VOT drops 10 dB from 70 to 50hz in a typical room as the horn projection of 70hz is now ported (50hz)
The vocal clarity at distance is to behold!
I will look over there and follow the thread.
I have never heard an honest 35 out of vots.
Oh...as promised..the link..click on the shaded HEF

You need to ask this question on the high efficiency forum, there are several A7 afficinados there, including Tom Brennan.
