Hi all,

I'm getting around to this intro email belatedly.

My main system includes hot-rodded Mission 770 mkV's, dual Storm III's, Naim electronics and a Townshend Rock 7. Welcome to my affliction.









Regards, Meerkat

Welcome Meerkat
A english home surely.

[Phil A]

Welcome - I use two Storm IIIs in my main system too.

[Meerkat]

Thanks kindly FRM and Phil.

Gotcha!?! I just happen to really love Brit hifi gear.

Regarding your profile pic, FRM, I concur. 3 out of 4 of my configurations are crossoverless, not including subwoofers - (1) Desktop (speakers) - Audience Ones, (2) Desktop HP's - Audeze LCD-X's, (3) Bedroom system w/Audience Ones. And for the 4th, my main system, I'm going to be building diy speakers with 8 each Audience A3 drivers per side (plus PRs).

Yes, Phil. A nice pair of dialed in Storm IIIs is definitely the cat's meow (lion's roar?). I also have a 3rd Storm III on my bedroom system.

I use a Strata III in a secondary 2-channel system and a Q150 in a spare HT/2-channel system too.

Nice. I also have dual T-5s on my desktop system. We seem to have the same illness ^_^

What do you think of the Strata III vs Storm III?

Welcome to AC, Meerkat!  It is a disease isn't it?

[Meerkat]

Thanks Jake. Indeed!

Yes we have the same illness.  Love them both - had them for probably more than a dozen years.  The Strata III of course does not have as much output.  I have them in a secondary 2-channel system in a small bedroom and in my old house had them in my master bedroom (after having other subs in there).  In some ways I like the sealed approach of the Strata III.  I've never actually had them in the same system.  I've had two Storm IIIs in the main system for all that time.

[Meerkat]

Makes sense. I have sometimes wondered if a Strata III would be a better match for my BR system, but I already happened to have a spare Storm III, hence that's what I utilize there. And the Storm III actually seems to work fine, even with the small Audience One speakers in my BR.

I find that once I have a REL properly positioned and dialed in, it disappears, and then it seems like the added bass extension is coming from the primary loudspeakers themselves.
