hi george,

curious as to how you tried the vmps' w/the ht3's.  did you run an outboard x-over, crossing the ht3's as well as the subs?  or run the ht3's full-range?  it wouldn't surprise me that the vmps (or any) subs might not work well w/the ht3's (or other full-range speakers), unless the ht3's are also actively crossed over to the subs...  while the ht3's may not need subs, it would surprise me that vmps subs couldn't integrate well w/them, if active x-over is used...

thanks,

doug s.

Doug,

I was actively crossing them over using a TacT 2.2x.

thanks, george, for the update.  seems weird to me, but i guess synergy is a strange thing, & it yust proves that one should try before committing to buying...  or, at east  get as much info as possible, from sites such as this!

Alrite alrite...

This site has convinced me that I don't need no sub for my HT3, I'm going to save my money to buy new camera lens instead......

I'm considering buying HT2's and utilizing them with a JL Audio F113 for a second home theatre setup
Arcam AVR350, Pioneer Blu Ray (any suggestions on good and reasonable 5.1 analog interconnects?)

right now the fronts will be B&W Matrix 2's  which have some cabinet colorations
I know the HT2's will improve on that
what would you suggest for freq rollover with HT2's?

I have HT3's in my 2 channel room with Moscode 401hr and Dodd battery pre
no need for low bass reinforcement

I have a 50's Kay Upright bass, so I'm very familiar with double bass low - the HT3's can deliver very resolving low end acoustic

As far as standard DVD player recommendations, I recommend any good optical cable for digital.   I am a believer in good cables in general, but not for optical.  I don't have Blue Ray, so I don't know if that would have different  issues.  Also set the DVD player for "bit stream".

This is a good general recommendation for almost all DVD setups.
