Here's some more John Zorn for you, Dom! :

Good eye, Aslan! Rammstein has stated several times that they are huge Tarantino fans. They deliberately copied the "Dusk to Dawn" scene as a tribute. Check out their video for "Du Hast", the other hit single from the Sehnsucht album- it's a tribute to Tarantino's "Reservoir Dogs":

You're welcome, Aslan! If you like shenanigans, check out this vid from SPG's live album:

City of the Asleep - "Transcendissonance" at split-notes.com Music that was engineered as a "worst case scenario" with regards to harmoniousness! To some of my friends, it's worse than waterboarding. But it's fascinating that despite the composer utilizing the most "wrong" tunings he could research, patterns kept emerging in the chaos, and it's definitely still music.

Exemplary work as usual, Dom! Thank you for taking the time to document all your work as well. I recognize the "claw mark" damage on those surrounds, they match the ones in the Silvers I got from dcl. I'm just greatful that the ribbons were too deep to reach! And good to hear about the generosity of the Polk Audio forum.

Welcome to theCarversite, Billy! Sounds like you're going to have a lot of fun with your new M-4.0t! Some folks around here know a thing or two about moving around big speakers... Looking forward to seeing some pics of your setup!

I'd say for surround use with a modern processor to pick the speaker with the widest, most even , horizontal dispersion(as a bipole). But if you'll always be the only one listening, and sitting in the same sweet spot, then it's probably not as important. I don't think seamlessly tracking dialogue to the surround channels is as critical. At least, I can't recall a movie or song where I've noticed continuous dialogue moving around like that. Usually the LCR combo is where it's important to match for dialogue (and where so few "large box" systems are truly matched!). Since you've got dual subs, the lower bass response is just the usual integration issue. *Unless* you're using your system to listen things like SACD's, in which case each speaker is expected to cover the full frequency range at full power. So you might want to check speaker type, placement, and integration with each type of material (and listening position?), just to make sure your final choices are the best compromises.
