Hey shane the review that you did with the rel t9x what was you best small sub after or before that review

Shane, good to see you have a space that is yours, one that you can make your own. I recently had this opportunity after years of work. It is an amazing feeling to walk into your dedicated theater and know all of the work that went into it. I see you have height speakers instead of overhead speakers. Was this because of the mounting options of the speakers? Or they sounded better there? The reason I ask is because I have 4 overhead speakers and am planning my next steps. I am trying to decide on whether it is worth it to add height speakers or not along with left and right wide speakers?

Hi XudenGroupLLC, this particular AMT has very good horizontal and vertical dispersion with the vertical being only 10 degrees less than the horizontal. In extremely off axis cases it would matter slightly, but in Shane's case, he's not missing a thing.
So overall, the output is better than the single 6" woofer RBH? Do you feel the need to go to the 821 with the 8" woofers?

Spot on review! That perfectly captures my experience with them too. That AMT is my favorite tweeter I've heard. I appreciate the honesty about the phase plug chuffing, but as you said, cross them over to the subs to eliminated the con, and you've got a very robust and excellent sounding speaker that's hard to beat in that price range.

Awesome setup. Congratz to that amazing HT . Is IT possible to use these speakers as a Center below the screen? With a non transparent screen i mean.
Home theatre enthusiasts take note that this is how it's done. Yeah, man, you're getting a little too good at this shit (class act) Personally, I've always been under the illusion that there's speakers for HT, and there are speakers for two channel stereo. Perhaps I'm wrong? Mind you, it's only when I move my stereo speakers away from the boundary of nearby walls that I'm able to take advantage of a full-on soundstage! Not forgetting the presentation of an enhanced holographic image, too.
